Success at Twenty-Five and Fifty.


Success at twenty-five and success
at fifty make different demands, says
a writer in the American Magazine. In
a few months am going to marry a
man met in college, sanitary engi-
neer, now with state board Of health.
His salary is just $1,000 a year, yet
that means happiness to u.s.. At twen-
ty-five he has three degrees, and the
fact that he was chosen for this work
means the beginning of success to us,
too. 1t is enough to live on while he
is proving his theories Of public health,
and it gives him an opportunity for or
iginal work. But If five years from
now he has the same salary (only he
will not y and his work has not been
recognized, we will not think Of $1,000
in the same way.

Many Germans in Crowd.

the trains were running, we might rlQc
to one Of the Mayfair stations. am
sure there would be a better-clasS
crowd there"
But the Mayfair stations, as veri-
fed after the next warning, are not
filed during air raids. And most Of
those who do take refuge, even in West
End residential districts, within the
tubes, are not English. The point
seems of Importance, because breath
ing foul air at the bottom of deep
shaft for hours is fair evidence Of
panic, or at least of undue alarm. Sem
sible people go home, and stay there.
Crowds Of foreigners congregate
around the tube stations hours before
the raid warnings are given, and
clamor for admittance, which Is not
granted them until the enemy is Sig
nailed. In one very deep tube shaft, at
Islington, where the population suf-
fered more than elsewhere In daylight
raids months ago, women and children
sat huddled all day long, and half the
night, until the practice was stopped.
Nerves Of English mistaken.
The Germans attack London to ter
rify the population; they cannot do
damage Of military Importance from
the heights they are compelled to
maintain. They have succeeded in up
setting a portion of the alien popu-
lation, mostly ignorant people. and In
paralyzing with fear those Of their own
kindred who live in London. They Sig
nally failed to break the nerves of the
Englishmen and Englishwomen here.
The evidence Of the tubes upon that
point Is conclusive
