Square Pegs Are Not Made to Go Into
Round Holes,

RCunQ F1olcS,
In the American Magazine is an ar-
ticle entitled "Are You "A Square Peg
In Round Holef" by Herman Schnei-
der, dean of the school of engineering
If the University of Cincinnati. Dean
Schneider has devoted his life to MAX
ing successes out of failures and to
finding the right job for the right man.
He believes that failure is seldom more
than an indication Of the right path to
success. Among other things he says.
Every individual. has certain gen
eral traits; everD kind Of work has
certain general characteristics. The
problem is to interpret the traits OF
the individual, classify the character
istics of the job and then guide the
individual into the job for which he is
supremacy fitted. This is one real en-
ployment problem.
There are very many human char
acteristics, but there are few broad
and general ones which frequently
make for success or failure.
There Is u type OF man who wants
to Get on the same car every morning.

SavercOOl to Be Held
For Breaking Parole Here

Probation officer James I. Walt
ers will probably hold James w. Sa-
vercool, wanted by Lancaster county
authorities, until the January ses-
sion of suspended sentence court, as
the defendant is on parole here, on
a charge of stealing brass from the
Pennsylvania railroad.
Savercool is wanted on a charge of
breaking into a distillery at Lititz
last Thursday night and stealing
brass valves and fixtures. He is
known in Lancaster county as James
Ochs and was arrested there by Con-
stable w. II. Greek, who turned him
over to Constable Allen Hacker. Sa-
Vercool broke away from the sec
ond officer, it is reported, and came
to this city, where he was arrested by
Harrisburg authorities. When Pro-
baton officer Walters investigated he
found 1t to be the same man who
was under suspended sentence. He
will probably hold him until Janu-
airy. to let the Dauphin county court
make disposition of the case pending
here, before the Lancaster county
authorities can take the prisoner in
charge. Constable Greek and De-
tective Charles f. Broome, of Ian
caster, were in the city yesterday af-
ternoon to discuss the situation with
Mr.. Walters. -
