SUcCESS-WHAT AND HOW?
There are many standards for
success. Some men tell us that mon
ey represents it, that great achieve
ments are conditioned upon ade-
quate financing, that capital is pow
er. But again and again we are re-
minded that money has no intrin-
sic value, that it cannot be eaten,
that it cannot be worn, that it must
be given its proper setting and ap-
probation as a means to an end
rather than an end in itself. The
old barber in the western village
was right, externally right, when he
said, Eyes, money buys everything
but three things-health, happiness
and heaven"
Honor and position indicate sue
cess, but in themselves d. not con-
stitute it. There are thos" who have
achieved both honor and position
but only to fall from their high es
tate because of fundamental weak
nesses in character.
What, then, IS success Success
is the ful functioning of body
mind and soul. 1t consists essen
TALLY of doing ones best, in bring
ing a complete dedication of ones
life to a worthy task. It's seat is il
character rather than in reputa
ton. Some brilliant minds are NOR
al slackers, while others who are
billiards have so applied themselves
as to p ace society in their deb
forever.
Success is essentially spiritual

lost in a worthy cause, humanity
discovers a Booker T. Washington
or an Abraham Lincoln; while
others who might have been kings
are buried in oblivion because
they failed to find an issue, or, find
ing it, refused to spouse it.
Success is giving oneself, do
ing ones best, facing the problem
of the hour, and not blinking its
disc0uragements.

Heaviest among the group is to
school children as Mondays alb

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL

Minneapolis, Jan. 12.-There Is
more than just little talk about
color for the ensuing season. The
truth of the matter is that we are
gong to have one of the most bril-
liant seasons in the history of fash
ion. Therefore, 1t Is well to note not
only what colors will be best, but
what colors bring out your person
ality and do the most for you.
Among the leading colors for
spring we find navy blue and a
shade that is somewhat brighter.
Navy can be worn by practically
everyone. Then there is beige,
which will have its biggest season
in many years. There are gray
toned beiges and dull beiges as well
as creamy and coppery ones.
Speaking of copper, we should
mention bronze, for it is again a
favorite, not for entire costumes,
but for trim and slippers as we'll as
hats and bags There are few col
ors that will do more for the red
headed person than bronze when
worn near the face.
Dove gray and slate gray will
line up as fashion firsts. Except for
dark-eyed blondes and women with
dark skins, gray is generally be
coming. ALI shades of green are go
ing to be good, but blue-eyed wom-
en- should beware of green, unless
there is greenish-gray cast to the
eyes, it seldom adds to their at
Effectiveness.
Cinnamon and cocoa browns are
coming back in style, but again
the blue-eyed woman must beware.
When selecting color this season,
you should first determine what

Observations From
Washington
BY Congressman Harold Knutson

ny SouSHCoohidii 11dA oio 1AhueSoh
The New Congress convened on
Tuesday last amidst the usual
noise and confusion I have never
before seen so many new members
at one time and it is my informa-
ton that the great majority of
them are not even halter-broke.
On Wednesday the President de-
livered his annual message on the
State of the Union which was large
ly devoted to a review of the past
four years. Immediately following
the Presidents address before a
joint session of the two houses both
bodies took up the consideration of
an emergency neutrality resolution
the need for haste being grave as
a large consignment Of war mater
ial for Spain was about to leave
New York harbor. Action in the
House was delayed somewhat by
the objection of Congressman Ber-
nard of the Duluth district, who
contended that the proposed legis-
lation Disseminated against the
Loyalist government in Spain to
which the shipment in New York
was consigned. Notwithstanding
the dispatch with which Congress
acted, the shipment got beyond the
three mile limit before the legisla-
ton could be signed by the Presi-
dent. We are pretty sure to have
additional and more drastic neu-
trality legislation within the next
sixty days
This promises to be fairly busy

until the heat drives US out OF

bring about It's realization.
Let US, therefore, unite In q COM
mon effort for q common cause.
AS Governor, I shall extend every
possible cooperation to the Legisla-
ture and assist in making possible,
enactment Of laws so sorely needed
today.
/ sincerely hope that out Of this
session will come q better under
standing of the needs of our peo-
pie and a desire to build and to
work together for better world
and a better life for all the people.
In closing I should like to dis
cuss with you as a matter outside
the field Of the general subjects I
have had the privilege of present
ing to you. This Is something which
Is in the thoughts of thousands of
our citizens. 1t is the proposal to
erect a fitting memorial to our
late great Governor, Floyd B. Oh
son.
I need not tell you about Cover
nor Olson, nor his human and in
tellectual qualities; you all knew
him-most of you personally Many
Of you belong to a different political
faith than did Governor Olson. But
regardless of your beliefs, I know
that you all admired him for his
rugged, sterling character, his
craftsmanship, his courage, his de-
votion to the cause which he be-
lieved right. The great masses Of
our state loved and adored him; his
name has become symbol in AM
erica for the struggle of the COM
mon man against the forces Of
greed, avarice, and social and econ
omic injustice. He was Minnesota's
first and outstanding citizen, true
champion of the people.
May I suggest formation by you
of an Olson memorial committee to
study and to lay plans, interview
friends Of the late Governor who
desire to cooperate in such an I'M
dertaking, and report to this ses-
sion of the Legislature. I thank
you.

Fashions Editor Of

three or even four are best suited
to bring out your personality. For
example, If beige Is becoming, you
might determine on a lightweight
beige wool dress that has buttons,
Upper fastener and belt of black
or brown pigskin. With this you
would choose a green handbag and
matching fabric gloves. Your shoes
would match the trim of the dress,
and your hat the trim or the dress
itself. If you are having a print
dress, you could easily bring in a
fourth color. So, bright flowers
printed on a black background
could pick up the red of the print
for the hat, beige for the gloves,
the shoes and purse could be black
and tucked in the purse neutral
green handkerchief.
If you are getting new things
now or planning to rejuvenate last
years, remember that the new
skirt length is thirteen to fourteen
inches from the floor. This also Is
correct in coats as is the fingertip
length.
But :. one last word on colors.
The more color your accessories,
the greater your fashionableness.
However, it is better to match two
accessories such as gloves with
purse, shoes with hat, hat with
gloves or gloves with shoes than to
have AN of the accessories match
as we have done in the past. Don't
be afraid to wear colored gloves or
shoes this year they are tops
They will be worn by so many peo-
pie that you will not feel conspic-
uous or extreme.

indications are that much social
legislation will lbe enacted and with
the overwhelming majority which
the President has in both Houses
there will be little or no delay in
putting the program through. The
danger of the situation, as I see 1t,
lies in the numerical weakness Of
the minority which cannot muster
enough votes in either house to
compel full and deliberate consid-
Grafton. The average citizen may
not realize that the real cause for
so many New Deal measures hav-
ing been declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court lies in the
fact that much of it was hastily
prepared by individuals who had
little or no experience in drafting
legislation and that Congress, in
its zeal to obey orders, passed much
of it without taking time to so
much as dot an or cross a t. It
Is to be hoped that the New Con-
gress will take all the necessary
time in the consideration of i'm

greatest deliberative body in the
world.

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
Farmers VS., Union Labor
From Our Exchanges

Farmers VS.. Union LaDOr
Union labor not satisfied with the
disturbances it has created in Min
neapolis the past year or two under
the protection of the state and city
administrations, is reaching out and
farmers are now going to get a
taste of it.
While farmers generally have
been following and encouraging the
state administration in it's attitude
toward union labor, possibly when
the farmer comes in contact with
the same conditions faced by indus
try in the large cities, the picture
will be of different hue We are led
to make this assertion by what is
now transpiring in and around
Minneapolis, as union labor Is now
transferring it's activities to far
mers and are going to organize
their co-operatives.
AS will be remembered when the
truckers were striking in Mime
apolis a year ago, they held up far
mers trucks and would not let them
deliver their produce to the cities
and practically shut off the farmers
market. The farmers did not think
much about the matter for the
reason that some of their political
leaders lulled them to sleep.
Election now is over, and the
leaders knowing how easily the
American farmer forgets things
now comes out boldly and says that
union conditions and wages mus,
prevail in the industries owned and
conducted by the farmer. Last
week there was a near riot at Far
mington, Mimi, in the creamery
plant owned and controlled by thu
farmers of that neighborhood. Thi!
creamery is unit of the Twin City
Milk Producers association, one o.
the largest farmers co-operatives IL
Minnesota.
This cooperative engages +,
bring the farmers milk to theil
various plants where 1t is bottled
and prepared for the city trade
Union labor went out among tn,
truckers and got number of then
to sign up for the union Ate.
