MISS WILSON IS
NOW AN Al"
WOMAN
Former Presidents Daughter,
Joins National Agency With
Offices in New York.

NEW YORK, July 3.--Miss Mar
garet Woodrow Wilson, daughter of
the former President, embarked
upon a business career yesterday.
associating herself with a national
advertising agency Of this city.
Assigned an office for her ex-
elusive use and given a private
secretary, Miss Nilsson arrived at
8 in the morning, took half hour
for lunch and did not leave her
desk until $50 in the afternoon.
Lands One Big Contract.
During the time not devoted to
answering questions Of reporters
and posing for photographers Miss
Wilson landed one large contract
and had half a dozen consultations
with her business associates. All
told, 1t was satisfactory, not to
say remunerative, beginning.
Commercial undertakings always
have interested Miss Wilson, but
until year ago she did not yield
the lure to rub elbows with the
business world. Advertising made
an especial appeal to her. So she
began to prepare herself. Twelve
months Of intensive study followed.
Asked which trend her work
would take, Miss Wilson replied:
IT shall endeavor to sell the
services Of the company with which
1 have associated myself and act
as a member Of its consulting
board"
''And you are sure business win
appeal to your" was suggested.
"Most assuredly," she replied. II
look forward to the work with zest
and eagerness. At first I felt it
might be like taking a cold plunge.
Then 1 remembered the after-ef-
fects and reaction OF such a plunge
are most exhilarating."
IL Years In Welfare Work.
In taking up a business career.
Miss Wilson does not intend to
abandon her interest in civic well
fare work. For twelve years she
has devoted most of her energies
to propaganda work in behalf or
community centers and community
councils throughout the country.
Miss Wilson was fitted for q nlu-
steal career by her father. After
her graduation from Goucher Col
elege. Baltimore, she studied sing
ing under the best instructors here
and abroad. Early in the war she
made a concert tour of the Middle
West and South for the Red Gross
Afterward she sang in the training
camps of the South and for the.
American Expeditionary Forces and
allied armies in France and ei-I

Pioneer Celebrates
91st Anniversary

A birthday dinner was given Tues
day in honor of Grandfather Wor-
thingtons ninety-first anniversary
IL is needless to say that he and
the old-time friends present had 4
goodt ime, for "Grandfather'' is a
very live fellow and discovered the
secret of perpetual happiness gener-
ations ago. In spite of his advanced
age, he is one of the youngest men
in town-a t least twenty years
younger than most of us will be by
the time we reach half his years.
Here's a good way to figure out
how old one is: Subtract the year
of his birth from the present year:
that gives his technical age. To his
technical age, add how old he feels
and how old people think he is. Di-
vide the result by three and you
have his practical, as distinguished
from his theoretical, age. The Her
aid does not pretend that this meth
od of reckoning infallibly leads to
correct results, but merely that it is
superior the the usual procedure
Let's see how old "Grandfather"
would be on this scheme. To 81.
his technical age, add 25, which is
how old fe feels, and IT, which Is
how old he seems to others, and you
have 1872. Divide 1872 by 3, and
you have Grandfather practical
as distinguished from his theoretical
age. The scheme is not just quite
right, for we don't think Grand
father" is nearly that old.
The beauty of the new method of
reckoning is that one may grow
younger as well as older. We ad
wise our readers to study "Grandfa-
hers" secret of perpetual youth.

This is a good time TO recall r.
! Q. Stevenson's Christmas sermon.
stevenson said that most people
felt II their duty to try to make
themselves happy and their friends
good. But that was approaching the
problem backwards The better WAY
was to try to make themselves good
and their friends happy.
If you aim directly to regulate
your friend s morals you are as lit
tie likely to succeed as if you set out
o deliberate search for happiness
for yourself. In either case, the re-
suit must be sought indirectly. On
the other hand, one may improve his

Every boy and girl must have Ger

marterial assets alone. but assets OF
character. Among the most inpor-

Ambition is the will to attain
something. The desired object may
be knowledge. or honors, or power,
but whatever it is, the ambition to
reach it must be backed up by the
Willingness to work for it. Mere
wishes accomplish little without the
aid of earnest application and indus
try.
The asset of personality is more
elusive. and seems 10 he born In

are not only insurance against the
