Julia Frances Waring, 1914

a picture sometime ago for the
column which, unfortunately,
we had to return. Recently,
however, she sent us another
which we are very glad to use
today. It still isn't as good
as it should be to really intro

but we did manage to get a
cut made from it so here it is.
We hope some day that Julia
will drop by the office and give
us a chance to make a really
good picture Of her.

til we reached the narrow impasse

What Makes Success?

Men have been searching for thu
secret of success longer probably
than they have sought the elusive
fountain of youth, for a man mus,
get old before rejuvenation appeals
to him and success is something
craved by persons of all ages.
1t is interesting to speculate, there
fore, on the career of Linton Keith
who, out of job, entered the Uni
versity of Chicago and scored a rec
ord mark in its aptitude test, de-
signed by the professors to indicate a
students possibilities.
Here, apparently, is a young man
of more than usual capacity, yet the
world has not been good to him. He
is one of those who enjoy the leisure
of necessity. In short, he has no Job
and entered college merely for want
of something better to do.
One wonders what enters Keith's
mind as he realizes that he has ap-
titude far above the average-and no
place in which to exercise it.
Perhaps he looks back upon some
corner of his life which, had he
turned it in an opposite direction,
might have resulted in different
things for him. Almost all of us look
into the past and speculate what
would have happened if.
A recent analysis of the reasons
employers discharge men and women
probably does not apply to Keith's
case. For his sake, we hope it doesn't.
But the fact is that more persons
are dismissed because of character
deficiencies than for ineptitude or
inability to do their work. In other
words, mans attitude toward his
work is liable to play a larger part
in his success or failure than his in
herent ability.
This factor isn't stressed overmuch
in the records of those who, having
been successful, presume to tell 9TH
ers their magic formula. But it
stands out, never-the- less, as a guide
post to those who, lacking some nat
ural gifts. determine to make the
most of what they have.

California Experiments


Within a few days California S
federal plan" of apportionment, So
called, will go into effect in it's state
legislature, and the nation will have
the opportunity to observe another
political experiment in the working.
Under this plan, CALIFORNIA; coun-
Ties Will be represented as such in the
legislatures upper house, and lesser
subdivisions of population will find
their representation in the lower one.
Since no county may have more than
one representative in the state SEN
ate, this means that such heavily
populated areas as Los Angeles coun-
ty Will be at distinct disadvantage
there. Under this system, it Is point
ed out that 30 counties with an ag-
gregate population of 37O,756, or less
than per cent of the total state
population of more than 100000
would be able to control the senate
with a majority vote. This group of
counties has only one-siXth the pop
ulation of Los Angeles county with
It's one vote, and SO it is plain that
California has delivered its upper
mouse, lock, stock, and barrel, to the
sparsely populated. rural areas.
The urban areas, on the other
hand, will be able to dominate the
assembly rather thoroughly, and it is
urged on behalf of CALIFORNIA; new
system that it will effect nice bal
ance between the cities and the
country, with each having unchal-
lenged domination of one house. The
clty-controlled assembly can dc
nothing without the cooperation OF
the country-controlled senate, and
the country-controlled senate can
force through no legislation which
the city-dominated assembly does not
approve. One of the chief criticisms
OF the plan has been that it gives
an unjustified advantage to the rural
areas, and it is further maintained
that the system, as it has been ex-
perlmented with in other states, has
never worked out in an entirely sa-
tlsfactory manner. California, how
ever. seems determined to give the
plan a thorough trial, and Is appar-
emily enamored with the idea that
