Also they had to. elect a Democrat

about as much foundation for saying
that the people of Kansas voted

there is for saying that the people of
the country voted against the League

$500. 900 miles of rural roads in the
United States OF these only 19,S0S
miles have been improved with fed

process of improvement with federal
aid. Using these roads are 1O,624,47I
motor vehicles in addition to all other
classes of vehicles. Viewed from the
standpoint fof these figures. road
building is in its infancy. This year
has broken all records for public high
way construction. Based on available
data, the bureau estimates $750.OOO.-
900 will have been spent uponIpublic

months. This includes federal-aid
roads-1O, 900 miles of which have
been constructed this year-and roads
built by states and local government

The Secret of Popularity
BY DOROTHY DIX
Wsssa.s MEbese RnIA W0msn Wzasss.


Social success may not be the high
est form of human achievement, but
it is one that appeals to the vast ma
jority of people. We all desire 70 be
liked and admired, to be sought after,
to be welcome guests wherever we go,
and there is no other illusion dearer
to our hearts than the belief that we
have a compelling personality, and
are magnetic.
Now just what it takes to make one
p. social success is one of the impen-
etrable mysteries at life. 1t isn't
money. Anybody with a heavy enough
pocketbook can break into society by
feeding their fellow creatures. and
automobiling them, and theatering
them, but they can't buy popularity
They can't purchase the kind of ike
Illness that makes everybody cheer -
at their approach.
1t isn't good looks that makes an in
dividual popular Extraordinarily
handsome men. and women are envied
feared by the other sex. Nobody likes
to have those around who constitutes
q too invidious standard of compari-
son.
1t isn't intelligence. Very clever
people are generally Stunned as il
they had the plague. Most folks are
as afraid of wit as if it was contagious.
and they feared they might be lash
enough to break out with sudden
humor.
It isn't birth, for when a Colonial
Dame begins to shine up her family
tree, the world hastens to leave her
alone on her perch, and there is roth
ing in America more lonesome than
pedigree.
On the other hand, we all Know
plenty of people who have no par
ticular attraction that we can put our
finger on, and say this is why they
are SO admired, and sought after. and
have so many dinner invitations"
They are neither witty, nor wise, nor
handsome, nor rich, nor in any way
remarkable, but they are universal
favorites in society, and we wonder
why.
The answer is very simple. Social
success is the reward of the patient
listener. The secret of popularity con-
sistS in heroiSm in being bored. OF
course, none of us escape the affliC-
ton of boredom, but most of us suf-
fer it under protest, and do not at
tempt TO conceal the agony inflicted
by the tedious. The popular person
is the one who can sustain the misery
of ennui and make no sign. even tho
his own desire to boast, and love OF
talking, are gnawing at his vitals. It
is a Spartan virtue, but II pays.
The bitterest truth in all the world
is>that nobody wants to hear about US.
but they are eternafiy absorbed in the
smallest and most commonplace detail
about themselves. The most brilliant
who ever adorned n
salon. does not begin to thrill us like
the astute individual who will let US
tell him the story of our lives.
