WOMEN INTERESTED

More women going to run for office, predicts
Harriet May Mills recent Democratic candidate for
secretary of state of New York. She recalls that
American women have been running for office since

THE CONGRESSIONAL CAREER

| MANY are called to Congress, but few chosen Tor
more than two or three terms. About once IN
every four years one generation OF congressman
Ipasseth away and another generation coneth.
But there is an occasional exception, the most
notable being the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, who
has outlived in Congress many generations OF
great and small men. Why?
An answer to this question would involve the
political history of the nation since the seventies,
and all the policies and wisdom of the Danville
statesman throughout his extraordinary career
He grew in office to be greater than his district,
which differs in no substantial way from hum
dreds of other rural congress districts. Long
residence in Congress by an able man increases his
power and usefulness. Mr.. Cannon was able to
grow in the esteem of both his district and the
nation at large That fact argues his ability to
represent his home people and at the same time
prove himself to the whole country.
Blaine was in Congress twenty years. Others
who held their seats for long periods might be
named and in each instance we would have a clear
case of genuine service both to a district and to
the Union On numerous occasions Mr.. Cannon has
confided his thoughts to the public. They may
well be made subject of intensive study by young
congressman who would emulate his career. He
has never been dodger or trimmer. He has
been on the job every hour always plal1-spoken,
and always talking common sense. He has been
human, approachable, friendly and Industrious;
and loyal to sound principles to the fundamentals
Of his party and to the best interests OF his con-
sttuents Now he is ready to retire, but that does
not mean that the Danville district is willing that
he should do so.-Chicago Journal Of Commerce.

GETTING RICH

Mary Pickfords income for two years was 81 1913
G25, according to court testimony in New York.
The president Of the United States makes that
much in Is years.
The average unskilled day laborer in eastern steel
mills, making 20 cents an hour, would have to toll
226o years to earn as much as Mary gets in two
years.
Salaries OF movie stars almost as great marves
as the actual moving picture invention.
The tremendous incomes of movie stars illustrate
"a point that should be indeble in the brain of any
one trying to get rich This is the point: &c.,, d.
Ii Mary Pickford, for instance, appeared on the
Stage and had only one person few for an aud
icncc, her Income would be only a few dollars day
Such performers the professional story -telers
of medieval Bagdad or modern Japan
Then thcater is built and Mary can play to a
couple Of thousand people at each performance Her
income increases abreast Of the number she serves
The invention OF the moving picture has enabled
Mary to appear before unlimited number Of
audiences simultaneously. Each member contributes
his mite. The total Of mites swes into an enormous
salary for the performer. -A
The principle behind all this is the application Of
mass production to human servce-the perform
ing OF service for the greatest number Of people.
The more people you assist entertain, the
greater your income
Often you comment along these lines: Einstein,
super-scentis of the sort that appears only once
in centuries makes less money than the inventor Of
some trifling thing like the Eskimo pie, ice cream
or safety pin. ",
The answer to this is that Einstein serves only a
small and limited number Of customers scientists
while the other inventors serve Millions each con-
tributing his mite to the inventor.
In any scheme to get rich, don't forget the i'm
porance Of doing something that will serve great
multitude. .u..@
There is infinitely wealth in inventing
shoe-lace with a tip that can, t come off, than in
originating costly fashion or anything else that
can have only limited number of customers.

ed as reports from more
than a dozen of the metropolitan
cities of the middle west show an in
crease in the number of accidents for
the first six months of 1922, COM
pared with the same period of 1921.
This increase has caused city Of

governing motor traffic in an en-
deavor to lessen danger in modern
travelling. Several of the cities are
shown 10 be waging war on the
speeder, in many cases Imprisonment
being added to fines by municipal
judges. Adoption of rules in turning

glaring headlights and educational
campaigns are other methods used in
many cities in the campaign against
accidents.
