before his 21st year had solved the
intricate problems of televisiOn as
against the futile efforts of world
scientists and the power of mil
lions of money spent in this quest.
Have I picked an unusual case?
Not so very unusual. The annals
of America, not to cite the world at
large, fairly TEEN with the records
of other men and women who have
won the highest awards from an
unsympathetic world - unsympa-
thetic only to the weaklings who
quit at the first obstacle, who re-
fuse to make use of the God-given
opportunity given every man who
will try. Among these are men and
women of the Negro group whose
success has equaled that of any
other.
Think of Carver, of Washington,
of Just or James Weldon Johnson,
or any one of a hundred others.
They have not all amassed fortunes
as measured in money. Real sue
cess is based on achievement and
that should be your encouragement,
my young friends.

HERE and
THERE
By w. M. Smith

/ believe we make a serious mis-
take when we encourage our young
people to say they have no chance.
Of course it is true that in this
business world about us, controlled
as it is by people of a different
group, we have not the same chance
as those who are members of that
group.
But there is another opening of
wider opportunity than that af-
fOrded by business. Entry to this
field is not restricted by race, re-
hgiOn, heritage or previous cOndi-
ton of any kind or degree. 1t comes
within the reach of the poor as
easily as it opens to the well-tO-dO.
1t is the field of knowledge, and
knowledge as you know is power.
And power brings wealth, the an
answer to any ambition.
Is this knowledge accessible?
You know it is. The schools which
are free-teach it. The libraries of
the nation and our twin cities have
of the best-are fully equipped for
it. All that remains is to possess
oneself of this rich store. The lives
of thousands of successful men and
women tell the story of its appli-
cation. There are no limits any
one can set to another's acquisition
of knowledge. Only one himself
may set such limits. It calls for
work, hard unremitting labor, grit
and determination. These take no
stock of race or economic plenty or
it's lack.
Any one who wants knowledge
and the power it brings can have
it, if he will work for it.
Genius is a fine thing, but, it is
allotted to but few. 1t permits its
fortunate possessor to take short
cut to success. Yet the longer road
just as truly leads to the same goal
and he who has the will may travel
it.
So we do the wrong thing when
we cOddle our youngsters and ac-
cept their plea of mo chance" to
check their efforts. This is merely
an abb for laziness, Indifference
and lack of a will to go forward.
No need for a boy or girl to quit
school at the earliest opportunity
because a commensurate job is not
visuaIized in the Offing. knowledge
of how to do the job better than
anyone else will bring the job.
The person who is prepared will
find the opportunity be he rich or
poor, black or white.
I recall today the story of a
young man-almost a youth, for he
is only a little beyond thirty-who
has won outstanding success in a
new field and who will without
doubt in the next few years amass
more wealth than he can use in a
lifetime. They call him now a ge-
MUS, but when I think of his life,
his struggles, his hardships and
disappointing trials I discount ge-
MUS in favor of hard work.
Born on farm without the heri-
tage of money or unusual abilities,
without years of formal education
without the influence of friendly
helpers, he saved enough from a
very meager salary of a farm Ia
bOrer, bought books, taught him.

high school grades, then saving

Spring. Love has improved him (you
know the object Of his affections),
and the scare hasn't hurt him either.
It was one of those things that
singer breads more than anything in
the world-the nightmare of waking
up some morning and finding that his
voice is gone What actually was the
matter was that Dick had been work.
ing too hard. No man who does five
or six or seven pictures year (plus
a tricky radio hour every week which
needs rehearsals) can possibly hope
to go on this way forever.
Dick was plain tired. His voice told
him $3.50 he quit-and has come in
better form than ever. The knowl-
edge that he's all set again, that he
can count on Joan to help him over
some Of the jumps later on, and that
his contract is set the way he would
like to have it set makes him par
ticularly agreeable person at this time.
His outlook on life is younger and
fresher than ever and his voice is

enthusiasm whether you like it or

His happiest moments are still spent
at home puttering around the grounds
Of his home, seeing to 1t that all is
shipshape within, and occasionally
showing a film or two when there
isn't anything better to do. At pres
ent he is working on Gold Diggers Of
1887" and when that is over he has
a long line of comedy roles which
should keep him more than content.
Hollywood at present is undergoing
a wave of domesticity.
When the stars are through at the
studio they make bee line for their
gardens, their antiques or their ice
boxes. Like Powell, most of them have
hoped all their lives for such home as
being a film celebrity in Hollywood
now can give them. Instead. however,
of the gigantic marble palace on Sum-
set drive that used to be Marie Dress
ler's, they have gone In for quainter,
smaller Spanish bungalows with an
occasional Colonial manse tossed in.
In order to be successful host there
must be either a pool or badminton
court. Or If. like Jean Harlow and
Bette Davis, you can't stand the sun,
