ONCE-OVERS
They Took Chances

To say that if you please
yourself first, many others will
be pleased is not a truism.
But it is true that if you
please yourself you are sure of
at least one person being
pleased aking for granted
that the after-clap does not
change your mind as to what
you really want.
1t is only a selfish person
who thinks of him or herself
first in the matter of being
pleased.
The wise person tries to fig
ure out what is best for all
concerned and is only pleased
when events take that course.
Too many folk think only Of
themselves and their plans.

Of that? Are you quite sure
that luck is something outside
yourself over which you have
no control?
Most people do think about
luck in that way, but others
have discovered an amazing
secret. They have discovered
that luck isn't an "outside
something" but that it is an
adjustment within the man

his own luck.
Waldemar Bonsells once put
it this way:
Il often yield to the impulse
to use as a springboard any
lath which chance has thrown

who would take such ventures
must be able to jump, and

what most people term having

luck is intimately associated
with adroitness, just as ill-luck
is intimately associated with
maladroitneSs."
Definition of Luck
Luck is not the thing that
happens to you from outside.
LUCK IS THE WAY YOU
TAKE THAT THING INSIDE.
Luck is the ability to jump;
the ability to use any incident
or impulse as a springboard to
a wider opportunity.
But luck does not come with
one jump. Luck comes only
after a man has jumped many
times; has accumulated the
courage to take jumps in the
face of possible disaster and
ridicule.
For jumps do not always end
luckily. Many an impulsive ad-
venture leads nowhere. Often

A Truly Hooverian
Trick Statement

Nor does he comprehend
the nature, even now, OF the
Grundy barrier he erected
against foreign trade. Many
would have been interested
in his explanation of his
amazing shift regarding the
necessity for a prohibltlve
tariff. He spoke against 1t
in the campaign Of 1928; and
in his message to the extra
session, called Immediately
after his election to deal
with the tariff, he was very
explicit in saying that a
"limited revision here and
there was all that was
wanted.
The next the public knew
he was marching a bit awk-
wardly under the soiled ban
ner of Grundy, the notorious
lobbyist of favored groups
who had served notice that
having raised a million dol
lars for Mr.. Hoover S cleo
ton his people demanded
that they be given what they
wanted.
In dealing with the inter-
national reaction to the erec-
ton of this stupid Chinese
wall against foreign trade,
he gives us a truly Hoover
ian trick statement, utterly
unjustified by facts known to
himself. His attempt to per-
suade the public that the
other nations built barriers
against our products before
the Grundy act would not bs

A Heavy
Responsibility

Again he seeks to shift the
stupidities of his Admins
tration to the outside world;
seemingly incapable of un-
derstanding the part his
Grundy prohibitive tariff
act has played; utterly for
getful Of the part he and his
predecessor played in the
Turing of the unwary into
the speculative craze. He
even mentions the fact that
"our own speculative boom
had weakened our own eco
nomic structure. "
One naturally is moved to
wonder when he discovered
it was a Speculative boom. -
He did not say so in 1928;
quite the contrary. when
others warned that the mar
ket boom was a house of
cards likely to 60 down at
the first gust of reality, he
and his Administration in
dignantly protested against
the thought. And right up
to the moment of the crash
his Administration was is
suing false statements as to
business conditions; state

mates knew to be false.
That is a very heavy re-

what they suppose to be their
own interests.
Very often they find that
they have frustrated their own
interests by not looking out
for the other fellow.
The one who is known to
desire his own way all the
time makes enemies.
Even his best friends go back
on him in thought if not in
action.
Instead of warning him of
what may result from his close
adherence to this rule of pleas

they think best to let him take
the consequence.

startling in an irresponsible
campaigner, but it is in q
President. 1t presumes too
much upon the gullibility Of
the public.
First came the protests
from all our foreign Gus
tomers-protests laid On the
table of Mr.. Stimson. Every
one knew this at the time be-
cause it was published in the
press.
Then came the demOnstra-
tions against our blind self
ishness in the streets of other
nations-aS at Lyons.
And then came the general
movement to retaliate by
closing the gates of foreign
markets in our faces. The
statesmen of Latin-America
are moving in the direction
of a trade understanding
aimed at us today.
If in the light of what we
now all know, Mr.. Hoover is
still convinced, despite the
opinion to the contrary Of
economists, business men,
bankers, publicists, that the
Grundy barrier against for
eign trade is commendable it
is evidently time to have a
change in Washington.

WITH two thousand
w farmers bearing BAN
ners, "Hoover we trusted
and now ere busted, "
marching through the streets
of Des Moines as a curtain
raiser, Mr.. Hoover appeared
later to defend himself
against the common cOnvic-
ton of his very heavy re-
sponsibility for the human
misery during his Admins
tration.
Reading the speech, one
gets two impressions: One,
which is an old one, that Mr..
Hoover is more than a bit
tricky and untenable in his
statements of facts; the
other that he still is con-
vinced that the nation was as
prosperous in 1928 as he
thought at the time. Some
have commented on the
novelty in Hoover speech
of an emotional note.
But it will be observed
that this emotion does not
appear in reference to the
100000 jobless men and
their 3O,OOO,OOO dependents
who are in dire distress,
with millions eating the
bread of charity; nor in
reference to the state of the
farmers, 100000 of whom
lost their homsteads through
foreclosure last year. Mr..
Hoover was emotional in
self-pity. And that is not
impressive.
The Washington times., 1932-10-10

to him. She becomes suddenly
tender and thoughtful and low
ing. And, of course, as long as
a woman is nice to a man, it
never occurs to him, that she
could possibly find anybody else
more attractive than HE is.
All of which is suggested by
a recent wife-murder, in, which
Me gentleman simply couldn't
wait for his wife to divorce him,
so he buried her in the cellar,
and then gave a party to steady
hi nerves. Why can't men be
PATIENT? If the stronger YES
sci were filled with patience,
the weaker vessel would not be
filled with suspicion!
The Washington times., 1932-10-10
What Are
The Facts?

The fact lis that less
money was appropriated for
public work in 1881 than in
1880.
That the Administration
persistently fought all
measures proposed to
launch a public building
program to give men work.
1t was standing out against
it as late as last spring; and
not until 100000 bread
winners were on the street,
and public opinion thor
Oughly was aroused did
Hoover consent to any pro-
gram approaching the ade-
quate.
And when he did con-
sent it was to the Wagner
bill-a measure Of Demo-
cratic origin which the
Democrats had been sup
porting for a long while.
But-this bill having been
passed and signed by
Hoover "reluctantly, " as the
press reported at the time,
the Administration refused
to put it in operation. Ten
weeks-twO months and
half-elapsed before the Adj
ministration turned a wheel.
Weeks later, and after
Wagner had hammered
away at the Administration
in the press and in per-
sonal appeals, Ogden Mills
announced that maybe in
October he would see what
could be done. 1t was only
after the Administration
had been roundly de-
nounced for its betrayal Of
the unemployed that Mr..
Hoover-not two weeks ago
ten weeks late-announced
that the Administration
would take advantage of
part of the opportunity
furnished. And the result
is not a corporal's guard
has been put to work at this
late day.

Nearing the Day
Of Reckoning

Farmers dispossessed will
find something of effronterv
in Mr.. Hoover belated con-
Germ over the foreclosures of
mortgages on their farms,
This has been going on for
six years. Even in 1928 it
was a scandal. The fore
closure epidemic b e C m e
worse after Mr.. Hoover en-
tered office and waved his
magic wand. 1t constantly
has grown worse ever since;
and last year, as we have
said, the number of fore
closures was appalling. Dur
ing all these years Mr..
Hoover apparently was un-
concerned. His concern now
is due to the approach of the
day of reckoning.
Clearly he still has faith in
the tariff as a panacea of all
ills. In Des Moines he urged
it on the farmers, brushing
the fact aside, as inconse-
quential, that the farmers
have more tariff "protec-
tion' than they ever have
had and along with it greater
misery than they ever have
known.

more cautious folk who watch
his antics with a sCornful eye,

THAT MAN is MAKING HIS

They Took Chances
Some day his chance will
come. Some trivial opportunity
will present itself. 1t may not
seem any more important than
a thousand opportunities which
have gone before. But because
that man has acquired the abil-
ity to use any opportunity as
a springboard, he will take a
chance, and then the courage
and initiative and agility which
he has built up during a thou
sand failures will sweep him
on to success.
The man who discovers a
gold mine, for instance. The
woman who gets a chance to
go on a trip around the world.
These things did not come
through fools luck" They
came because those people had
prepared themselves for their
coming. They had taken
chances. They had broken
down inhibitions within them
selves. They had cultivated
their imaginations. They had
the ability to jump" So, when

they were ready.

love with her, she can do
nothing right"
When man has tired of a
woman, just the sight of her,
just the knowledge of her
presence gets on his nerves.
Just the sound of her foot
step irritates him and arouses
his resentment. He feels in
jured and exasperated that she
should still be anywhere around,
and regards it as a personal
affront that she should go on
loving him-againSt his will.
And that's where Woman's
suspicion" comes in. Many a
woman might never dream or
suspect that her husband had
looked at another woman, if he
would only go right on being
pleasant around the house. She
might cheerfully swallow all his
alibis and Sympathize with him
for having to work late at the
office, so many evenings, if he
would come home bringing
flowers, instead of the Crouch
Observation-Disclosures.
But any woman can tell, Just
by the disappearing and critical
way in which he looks at her.
by the way he snaps at her or
CorrectS her. or frownS at her
or jeers at her, that a man is
thinking of another woman.
She doesn't have to SEE the
other woman. She knows that
man MUST love someone: and
she knows that it's no longer
herself. Poor ostrich! He is
the chief witness against him
self.
A woman is much cleverer-
and more patient. When she
is fooling a man, she sootheS
her conscience and at the same
time serves her purpose, by be-

WALSH TO DISCUSS
TAX BILL IN FORUM
Massachusetts Senator Will
Speak on Senate Finance
Committee Work.

The Federal revenue bill, which is to
be reported to the Senate by the Sen
ate Finance Committee, will be dis
cuSsed by Senator David I. Walsh of
Massachusetts, in the National Radio
Forum tomorrow night at 9 o'clock
Eastern standard time. The National
Radio Forum is arranged by The Wash
ington Star and broadcast over a
Nationwide network of the National
BroadcaSting Co.
Senator Walsh is a member of the
Senate Finance Committee and has
worked for weeks on the revenue bill
with his committee colleagues. He took
a lead in the fight to remove from the
bill the so-called tariff" items, the
taxes levied on imported oil and COAL
which had been placed in the bill by
the House
The revenue bill is expected to effect
every business and individual in the
country, touching their pocket books.
The Senate Committee has materially
changed the measure which was put
through first by the House. Considera-
ton of the revenue bill in the Senate
itself will be begun at an early date,
probably during the coming week.
