drivers are entirely responsible for

Not Entirely to Blame.
II a more correct analysis were
made one would find that the drivers
do not deserve the entire blame. The
truck owners are also responsible for
this ineompetency in drivers and
truck inefflciency- Some owners
watch themselves walk by-Wasting
large sums OF money hiring and fir

pensive as Incompetent driving
The seat OF trouble IS In the meth

SECRET OF WOMAN EDITORS SUCCESS
 BELIEF THAT NOTHING IS COMMONPLACE
O w NE R OF ULTRA MODERN MAGAZINE AIMS TO ESTABLISH MEDIUM FOR STRUG- CLING WRITERS

NEW YORK.-Margaret Anderson, sole owner and executive of the maga- zine called The Little Review!" A career unique in the history of women!
 Barely out of her teens, with pas sion for art and letters and freedom for the artist, Miss Anderson started this magazine on nothing but enthusi- asm and 29 cents.
 Five years ago it had never been heard of. She is now recognized as the editor of the only ultra modern magazine through which America has come in touch with such people as James Joyce. William Butler Yeats, Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, Ford Madox Hueffer, May Sinclair and Sherwood Anderson.
 Speaking of the adventure. for ad- venture certainly it is, Miss Ander- son says;
 Nothing Commonplace
 England, France and Germany. in fact all European countries, have some medium through which the artist may place his art before the people. In America there is almost no such medi- | um. There are many magazines it is true, but none of them but has it's for mula on which it's stories are based and it's pictures painted. Magazines start up and die-they die because the p6OplS udIk OI llSlii IcNG l4ttiS VI liO money, little or no courage, little or no following.
 Just how I have succeeded in keep l ing the Little Review" alive Is even to me sort of miracle, but I think | have discovered what the miracle is have never treated any thing in life as if it were commonplace. nor any persons as if they were ordinary" When Miss Anderson started her magazine and the proofs were held al 1 the printers because there was nc money she went to several large houses, whose goods she desired to ad- vertise. and without even so much as a single copy of her magazine to show she returned that same evening witt $500 in advertising.
 She had convinced them that ''Th' adventure was the value''-the adven- ture of having talked for few mo ments to a woman who would die fol her enthusiasms as the artists woulG die for his art.
 No Difficulties
 Miss Anderson recognizes no diff culties. She says for every difficulty there is some approach, some drama some victory.
 In this spirit she approached th' artists of England and France. Sh' wrote and told them what she wanted to do-to establish an internationa communication of thought, imagination and power-that she wanted to mak'
