MASONRY HISTORY IS BEING TRACED
Origin Of Fraternal Order Sought
 in America

Amarillo Tex, March 13,-4P- The trail which he has followed for 22 years. in quest of proof of the existence Of an ancient race to which he believes the foundations Of the modern Masonic lodge may be trac- cd, has brought Dr. John Winthrop Sargent 10 the United States.
 He is i'll Texas 10 continue his re- search, which has taken him through Mexico, Central America and most Of the South American countries.
 Dr. Sergeant is an explorer and director Of the Dr. W. H. K. StaNer expedition of the British Royal so- ciety, and q nephew of the late John Singer Sargent, the painter.
 By tracing the culture of this race through pottery and monument de- signs, pr. Sargent says he has be- come convinced that it's civilization was Of even q higher order than that of the ancient Egyptians. He says he found proof that that race had a knowledge of irrigation superior to to that Of modern times.
 First evidence Of the race in the United States was found at Three Rivers, N. M., he says, and the trail was continued to this vicinity.

MAN SUPREME, YET
 BUT A TINY GERM
Individual Really Lost Amid
 Vast Worlds

Man is the last word in the mani testation Of life, ruler Of the universe and all that, and
 Man is an infinitesinal midget, a mere germ in a mighty conclave ot tremendous worlds.
 Well, let's first look the one way. The smallest thing in the world Is the electron-perhaps the founda- ton of everything, including our selves. We're monstroslties against them.
 So small ie an eloctron that fifty billion Of them could sit comfortably on the point Of q pin. l. would take 5o with enough zeros after it to fill a column Of this page to make up the number of eleCtrons in our hodies-thats' how great We are,
 Four Billion in An Inch
 And there are still smaller units than the electrons, although We can't say they're matter. The Ang- strom unit, the smallest unit of measurement Is less than four bil- iionths Of an inch long. And the cos mic ray. which Prof. R. A. Milikan has discovered. is less than four ten thousandths ot an Angstrom unit NheW!
 Let's move upward. There's the atom. which is made up Of various electrons, according to the material 1t forms.
 II would take about 360,o00,0O0 average atoms, formed in a straight line. to cover an inch.
 The tinlest living organism is made up of millions Of these atoms Yet, this Is so tiny that We can see 1t only through fine microscope There are bacteria, for instance germs as short as one fifty-thou- sandth Of an inch. There's the single cell amoeba that still must be seen through q microscope, and there are many insects and insect parasites that are too tiny 10 be observed by the unaided eye.
 Now, however. we come closer 10 our own measurements. but We find we're not so much--only less than two billion Of us in this world, and not many more animals Of our size
 Bigger Than Man?
 Let's turn the other way, and we'll realize that we're not so big. There's our own earth. Imagine man, only six feet tall, standing on ball 5000 miles in diameter.
 Our earth great? The sun from which We get our light is so big in comparison, that 1t could easily make room within it for 300,oOO of our earths It looks so small to us be- cause it's a3,0o0,000 miles away.
 Yet that sun. S65,000 miles in diameter, is only one seven hun dredth the size of the entire system or planets, including our earth, which revolves about if. At the outside of this system is Neptune, somewhat less than three billion miles from the sun.
 That makes our entire solar sys- tenn almost six billion miles in dia- meter. But is that large? Not yet,
 Dot in the Universe
 This solar system of ours Is only dot in our universe, the greatest part Of which you see above you on 3 clear night in the form oi the Milky Way. There are 30 billion stars like our own little sun in this uni- verse Of ours, and these stretch over so great q space that astronomers haveato figure their extent in light years and one light year. being the distance it takes light to travel in one year at its rate Of 1Se,00O

By CLARK KINNAIRD


NEW YORK, May 2l.-Mrs. Alice
Seidler Statler, whose position as
chairman Of the board Of the Statler
Hotels corporation makes her the
worlds greatest hostess, takes no
credit for the distinction that is hers,
but she has definite ideas about what
a woman must do 70 be successful IN
business.
First. the woman must know what
she wants to do, and she must do
THAT.
Twelve years ago. while she. then
Alice Seidler, a New Yorker. was
employed in a publishing house in a
position that she did not like, she
decided that she would like TO know
the hotel business. Entertaining
persons and making them feel at
home seemed 70 her TO offer an in
teresting career. She left the pup
fishing house when the opportunity
was offered 10 become secretary to
the late Ellsworth NJ. Statler.
breaches Confidence
Second. she says. a woman must
have confidence in her ability; but
she must make il easy for persons
to teach her the things she needs 10
know about the business she wants
to succeed in. II is, she observes,
still a mans world. and women must
accept men as their business masters.
Third, ome must look for real
ity, not romance, in business. They
must remember, she opines. that the
purpose of business is business.
Fourth, despite all these things, the
woman in business should remain
womsnly, not try TO be mannish.
But she admits modestly, my
own part in the hotels seems TO be
largely over-rated. The greater part
of the executive work falls 10 Frank
McKowne. the president. Both he
and | were associated with Mr..
Statler long enough in business tc

out"
Mrs. Statler. then Alice Seidler.
succeeded Mckowne, the new presl-
dent Of the hotel organization. as sec
rotary to Statler. She married the
hotel magnate about n year before
his death. AS his secretary she
learned everything she could about
the business, paying as much atten-
tion 10 minor details as TO executive
policies, and she came in time TO he
one Of the most valuable members Of
the organization. Statler officials say.
Devised Hotel improvements
She is credited with having been
responsible for many improvements
in hotel service that have been adopt
ed nationally and internationally.
Not the least Of these was needle,
thread and buttons in every room.
And full-length mirrors set in doors,
80 that guests might view
their whole costumes critically. And
keyholes above door-knobs. 80 that
the keyholes above might be easier 10
find.
The work in which Mrs. Statler is
most interested at present, she says,
is the refurnishing of several Of the
hotels. Meanwhile she has an APP
preciative ear for everyone and any
one who has anything constructive 10
say about the multiple activities Of
the 100000 corporation which
she heads.
"A woman must never stop learn
ing" she says.
