II saw in today's paper an account
Of the suicide Of young lawyer. He
had q good future before him, but he
permitted one or two failures to drive
him to despair. Yet the most success
full men have more failures than sue

Muny Use Elevators

Nearly every one rides In America.
In addition to the large number OF
people who use horizontal transit,
such as railroads, trolley cars and sub
WAYS. one Of every ten persons In
the United States takes vertical ride
every day. This means that the pas
senger elevators in the various build
ings of the country carry up and
bring down about 100000 persons
every day. Study made by the Ma
tiopal Association of Building Mana
gers and Owners Associations shows
that for every 1853 square feet OF

ried. The Office space area Of the

sometimes there is so much sputter-
ing on the air that radio listeners
have given up trying to "tune-in"
on station. This strange state
ment by one who owns set has
given disgruntled radio fans clue
to the cause for not getting the
music. The opinion that prevails is
that announcers have taken up the
habit of smoking while broadcast
ing, and by trying to talk and smoke
at the same time, have made clear
speech impossible; also, by blowing
clouds of cigar smoke into the trans
mitter, they have so befogged the
set and the air, that the programs
have been unable to penetrate
through and reach an audience.
