that Mr.. Phillips really secured three

Poor Politicians Grow
From Spoiled Children

Ii you know something about the
very youthful past of political candi-
date you have clue to his fitness
for office, according to E. Hanbury
Hankin, British scientist and former
official in the Indian service.
''The foundations of q mans char
acter are laid in the very early years
of his life," DR. Hankin states in sug-
gesting a list of "don'ts" for voters,
in industrial psychology.
Don't vote for a man who was
spoiled when child" he warns. THE
spoilt child cannot control himself.
When he grows up, he is apt to be
unable to control others"
He also says: Don't vote for a
man who has too good memory for
trivialitles and who worries about de-
tails. He is a man who will not see
the forest because of the trees.
Don't vote for q bookworm if the
other candidate has spent his life in
dealing with his fellow men in busi-
ness or affairs. The latter is far
more likely to have common sense.
Don't vote for a man who has fol-
lowed profession in which he has
had to spend his life in dealing with
interiors He probably will be an auto
crat, incapable Of working with his
equals"
DR.. Hankin thinks it doubtful that
code of tests can ever be drawn up
with which to appraise political can.

at the Corcoran School of Art and
later in Paris, where, when scarcely
beyond her own student days, she
established and conducted for some
time a school for American students,
at which Richard T.. Miller was one
of the instructors. She has exhibited
at the Paris Salon and in recent years
at the leading exhibitions in this
country and she is represented in the
permanent collection of the Corcoran
Gallery Of Art. Her early work was
essentially academic and in the style
of the old masters. Her recent work
is quite as frankly in the manner of
today-fresh. eolorful and exceedingly
vigorous, with a distinct decorative
quality.

On Carrying Enemies in Stock
BY BRUCE BARTON

THERE is certain man
in the Middle West who
just falls short of being
a great. He has more
than ordinary mental ability,
plus a college education and a
rather forcefuI personality. Yet
no one really likes him, and when
a position of large responsibility
is under discussion, his name is
invariably passed.
Simpson always seems to
have a battle on his hands" was
the way a mutual friend sum
med it up. "F1e was born with
a chip on each shoulder and he
has kept them carefully balanced
there ever since. He has the
finest assortment of personal
grudges, resentments and jeaI-
ouses you ever heard about.
Some one is always insulting him
or disregarding his rights or in
fringins on his dignity. His
mind is so cluttered up with ILL.,
TeeltngS OF one SoFI ana anOLneF
that he doesn't have any mental
room left for constructive think
ing at all.
Every one of us know men like
that; to degree each one of us
is hmnelf such a man. We carry
around our own private equip
ment of grudaes against individ-
uaIs and even against whole
glasses of society. Farmers
cherish resentment against city
men, workers against their
bosses and those who walk
against those who ride.
Few of us ever learn that one
reason why the successful man
passes us in the race is that he
uses all of his mind for the busi-
ness of thinking and wastes none
Of it on the extravaganza of
hate.
Resentment mends nothing"

cause he has known their moods since
childhood. He was born at Fort Van
couver, Wash, the son of an Army
officer. His earliest recollections are
of the wide Columbia flowing to the
Western sea and Of the snow peak,
Mount Hood. lifting its benevolent
head over miles Of unbroken forest"
His student days were passed in Den
yer and Eastern cities, but he is to a
large extent self taught. Nature has
been his tutor. The same writer says
that mfr. Gustin is known on the Pa
cific Coast as the master painter of
The Mountain That Was God so
likewise he is recognized as the master
painter of the primeval forests of the
Oregon country. With the same rev.
erence with which he has approached
the spirit of the mountains, he has
followed an unblaZed trail that leads
to the heart Of the mighty druids of
the evergreen glades. Gus
tins love for trees took him number

he painted his brilliant canvas, Glory

Mr.. Gustin is a strong painter, but
one who aims for true representation.
His pictures are realistic, are of things

present facts rather than impressions.

A clock that is worked by the

ence of two degrees is sufficient to in

winds itself Up and can continue in
definitely without stopping. The re.
markable timepiece is the invention
of Zurich clockmaker. 1t was tested
for about a year at the Federal Poly
technic Institute at Zurich and then
was brought to London, where expert
ments were made with it on the roof
of a London hotel. The clock went
perfectly while here and was still GO
