The reason that 90 many people
fail In life is because they are not
willing to pay the nnal price OF sue
cess.
For all that We get in the world we
have to pay something. Nothing s
free, but when we pay little, we sss
little
The trouble with most OF us Ia that
we are always on tho still hunt FOR
a bargain. We want the best, but we
expect to get 1t marked down from -
dollar to forty-nine cents, and we are
surprised and disappointed when We
ind that we 90 not get firrt class
articles for a second class price.
If,Sruth. there are just as few bar
gains in success as there are in de-
partment stores. The real, genuine,
first class goods that are. yard Wide,
and all wool, and that will not shrink
nor fade, but that will stand the wear
and tear Of daily use. and the fierce
glare OF publicity, must always be
bought at high price. For cut-rate
prices you get cut-rate goods. Not
without reasons has the word cheap"
become term OF reproach.
II is the little extra price you pay
tt t gets you the genuine article in
stead of pinchbecks.
Take the matter OF business sue
cess for instance. Two poor boys of
equal ability start out In life under
the same conditions. Both must work
Both must deny themselves many
things they would like TO have. So
/ far they both pay the inevitable price
Of the poor. man who has his way to
make in the world.
But one Of the boys pays as little
as he can. He does ju<t as little work
as he can TO hold-his job. 1t is simply
a bread and butter problem with him
His interest in his work Is purel,
tperfunctory. He never tries to iearr
anything about the goods he sells
He makes no effort to improve hi
technique, or acquire superior crafts
manship. He is the last TO punch tn

Cavemen Again.

VIOW much has the human retrogressed
n during the progress of civilization from the
endurance and resourcefulness of cavemen?
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Suffer- of Boston, propose
to find out They will enter the heart OF the Maine
woods without food clothing and try to live six
weeks
Such an experiment will be fantastic, but in
teresting. Even the probability that it is a press
agent stunt does not rob it of certain real value.
Do the thousand things human ingenuity has de-
vised for the convenience of mankind add anything
except comfort after all?
Nights are cold in the Maine woods at this
time OF year. AS as Mr.. and Mrs. Suffer
the forests they must get busy at once on
the preparation of form of clothing. They
plan to make garments and blankets from the inner
fabric of certain kinds OF bark. Then they will be
able to sleep without dying of exposure.
Next will come the question of obtaining food.
1t is too early for forest fruits. They cannot live
on leaves and grass They have no firearms with
which to kill game. They have cord with which
bow can be made. At first they must devise rude
fish hooks from jagged stones and strong vines
for fish lines.
Perhaps they can make, in few days, some
rude form of box trap with which to catch rabbits
If they succeed, it will not only a variety of
food, but warmer clothing.
All these things the caveman could do They
came part OF the days routine for him. Mr.
and Mrs. Suffer have, of course, certain advan-
tage. They know how others have improved upon
the primeval methods. Both experienced woods
Anyone else would not dream OF such a
venture which would be little short of suicide
Some years ago alone succeeded in
spending time in the depths of the Maine
woods under exactly the circumstances. He,
however tried the experiment in the middle of
mer when food could be obtained from the bushes.
At present blackberry vines and BURBERRY clumps
hardly covered with foliage The present
stunt is more intricate also because of the pres
ence of a woman, who, it might be expected will
prove of some hindrance to her husband On the
other hand she may be the salvation of the party.
1t will be encouraging if this couple dem
onstrate that the human being of today is just as
good animal his hairy ancestor who went

The Terrible Turk.

THE Turk does not improve with time. He re-
i tains today the dual personality which has
characterized him throughout history. On the one
side he is brave soldier and polished gentle
When he changes into his Mr.. Hyde per-
sonaity he becomes heartless hend
The Turkish nationalists represent the best ele-
ments among the Ottoman people. Their exploits
in battle, added to their clever diplomacy actually
have gained them sympathy in the capitals of
western Europe. But with regard to atrocities they
uphold the reputation of the old sultanate at its
worst. At their hands the condition of Christian
mnorities in Asia Minor has not changed.
Reports from the British high commissioner tell
of such shocking conditions that the secretary of
state for foreign affairs has sent proposals to the
American. French and Italian governments for a
joint investigation Ottoman Greeks to be the
chief victims of the present cruelty. With the COM
ing of spring wholesale deportations have started.
Large numbers of the unfortunate people die on
the road of exhaustion of starvation.
The Armenian deportations during and imme-
dately after the furnish Of the most
bloodcurdling stories in history. 1t is hard to
realize that human beings would be capable of such
acts. Turks in the past have made little secret of
their purpose to extermnate the minorties. They
seem to retain this highly reprehensible ambition.
Such conditions exist nowhere else in the world.
Cannibal tribes show mercy for their victims.
Compared with them the worst outrages reported
from Czarist Russia from the territory occupied
by German armies during the war hardly deserve
mention. Yet the hands of the Christian world are
tied to prevent such things-ted by international
differences and by fear of militant Islam ready
to start crusadng.
And yet the individual Turk is almost always
charming gentleman, whose word is his bond. Until
we read of what he has done we would give him
credit for little humanity at least
Charity serves hardly to alleviate conditions in
the Near East. The Christian minorities will
have opportunities for life and pursuit of happiness
until the Turk finally thrown out of power despite
the possible temporary consequences of such an act

We Like a Strong Comeback

t. the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Your editorial of May 5. when you
were criticising the District reguIa-
tons of automobile traffic. said some
good things One was "disrespect for
law is bred when petty regulations
are imposed on the people"
1t is pity that you forgot that
statement within a week and wrote
an editorial on Daylight Saving
in which you advocated the pettiest
and mesnest of regulations yet i'm
posed on the people. In that editorial
of May 10. you say, by forcing
everyone to get up an hour earl
Ter. daylight saving is a boon to
humanity" None but a damned fool
would make such a statement. There
are hundreds (several Thousand. in

a damned scoundrel. Another state
ment you make is, 1t is easier
for a few men to suffer than for an
entire community to fight the die
tates of its own watches"
The inference in that is a lie The
fact is that to adopt what you are
advocating would make the many
suffer for the lRZiness of the few
notice this about your two edi-
torials. and that is that YOU are as
enthusiastic in your effort TO fasten

classes are different. I belong to the
