A pioneer in her field Miss Rondticld has done more than any living woman, not only for her sex, but for the whole Labor movement in England.

reason that he has made all the money he needs.

would quit when he made million dollars. That
moment having arrived he quits II think I've
earned rest" he remarks.
OF course he has. Every man has, at forty five
though few are able to take it. But how wise Mr..
Donovan shows himself.
He is of those men, apparently, who
realizes that money is useful only for what it will
buy. Enough is enougl-more than that does no
one any good For million dollars he can buy
anything hell ever want. So he lays off.
And how refreshing is his admission that he looks
forward to getting out of the harness. He spares
the customary bunk about service and "devo-
ton to the job" He was in the business for the
money! having got all he needs he gracefully re-
tires.
