/ not having the foundation on which to
build his dream house OF success
In a few years he managed TO earn the
goodwill OF II politician who eventually
placed him In one Of the government de-
partments at Washington-in very
small position at the minimum wage.
After seven years work he had managed
10 win place on a section OF the classi-
ned list. and his salary had jumped to
little over $1,000 a year
Now that sum looked mighty big to
him-as it did also TO the sister Of the
wife Of Chap No. l. So they were mar
ried. 1t meant economy. OF course. close
economy, but they were happy In each
other, and they managed TO pull through
financially.
At the present time-fOr this is true
story-the lad is making 81, 400 a year
Owing to the restrictions OF Civil Service
however, be can rise to but 81 800 a year

even though he should be there all the
rest OF his life.
And so, the friends OF the two couples
are wondering.
Here's Chap No. ] with an almost IN
limited future ahead of him, possessing
as he i,os education, ability, energy and
a position IN a firm OF which some day
he Is bound to be a member.
On the other hand, Chap No. is
working away In a building that some of
his friends tell him is but a marble
sarcophagus. No matter how hard he
works he can reach but 81, 500 a year. His
only chance is to study outside his work
which he is doing zealously-save his
money, and some day break away from
the government service into other fields.
But there again comes in the question of
a start. III he does IT. he will have to
start all Overland at a late time In life.

Now, which OF these two chaps is the
greater success? Both are successes, re-
member, for each has made good In the
line in which he has been working.
Most people say Chap No. l, for he's
making more money. has better home
and really brilliant prospects.
But No. deserves little considera-
ton. He got of to a poor start that is
handicapping him to this day. From the
day he was 10 he has been fighting his
own way. He began at 81 per week; be
now makes enough TO support himself and
wife-which is no slight achievement In
these days of high prices. He's up against
