were not solely warlike and that might
have been conserved for peaceful uSes-a
mere business idea, of course.
Now we learn that the war department,
the past year, has disposed of Sl2SO00,-
600 worth of surplus war material at
prices aggregating only SO per cent of the
original cost. This means that Uncle Sam
pockets loss of 64 per cent. or about
SSl 100000.
Apart from their relation 10 the heavy
and damnable burdens of war, these incl
dents plainly indicate not only how utterly
reckless is this government with the
money of the people, but how woefully
lacking in business sense are those 10

II is not disclosed that Mr. Ralph Brun-
ner. of Los Angeles, was Objectionable as

He was confirmed in the habit of eating
onions. Reckless, even weak at times,
Cupid is not compatible with onions, and
so Mrs. Drummer presented the dictum,

strating the strength of habit. Mr.. Brun-
ner decided for onions and his Mrs.
promptly obtained a divorce. mo ques-
ton about the strength of your case" said
the judge, decision which no supreme
court can justly reverse.
Thus is a precedent established that
must have full respect and strength in
the records of American jurisprudence.
Note well that extreme cruelty doesn't
figure. You just plead habitual onions.
and the courts can be relied on to use the
cleayer.

The Golden Idol

A BOSTON rabbi protests against the
n way Americans worship success. He
fears that admiration of successful men
has reached "A magnitude where 10 Is a
form of idol-worship (which leads 10 the
surrender OF all judgment of comparison
and value"
The public is becoming wiser, tho.
IL Is not many years since mans
wealth was the measure of his success.
His dollars told the story
We believe that achievement s rapidly
taking the place of money as the emblem
of success. Henry Ford, for instance.
would be rated little less highly If he had
only moderate fortune. The people mar
vel at him rather because of the millions
OF motor cars he has produced than on
account Of his enormous fortune.
CTEINAIETZ, of his own choosing. left
~ very small estate when he died
Money did not concern him. Nor did IL
concern his admirers. They cared not that
Stelnmetz had not accumulated millions.
What they admired was his accomplish
ment.
Rockefeller, senior used TO be famous
mainly as the worlds richest man. I'm
time his dollars will be eclipsed by his
organizing genius and his wisdom in spend
ing millions for medical research and edu-
cation.
The golden idol is being torn down In
its place is the idol of accomplishment.
which is Just another name for service
10 humanity.
'>HE public is getting wise in still an
L other direction. There's an increas-
ing comprehension that some OF the great
est successes are men who never accumu-
late fortune or do anything big enough
TO get them into the limelight.
Take a man handicapped by paralysis
or blindness, yet who struggles doggedly
and supports himself and family comfort
ably, Take man who by hard work and
determination, counteracts inferior ability
and gets along reasonably well. Take the
average man and wife who make Just a
tair living and educate their children.
All these are successes-great successes
in the eyes of Americans today.
Success is not so much a matter of
results, but in character and doing the
best we can with limited abilities and
opportunities. Life is a spiritual gym
nasium, not Klondike or prizefight.
