wish that this girl, and all the
others, could meet my friend Jenny.
Jenny is not quite twenty, and she is
already making place for herself.
Jenny knows that a great deal of her
success is due to her background, and
she is proud of it. Yet her first boss
told me she'd never get anywhere be-
cause she hadn't any background.
1t was about two years ago that
talked to that boss, successful bust

She smiled pityingly. Poor little

"She seems capable"
'Oh, she's capable enough-though
this is her first job and she's had
only high-school course in stenogra-
ply. But her English is slangy and
ungrammatical. The child never heard
good English until she came here; she
hasn't any background at all"

I've been lucky" Jenny said.
"I've had the breaks. My mothers

''My father worked in the mills
He was killed in an accident when
was three years old and my sister,
Elizabeth, was one year old. He'd just
started to buy us house in the SUBJ

country people. you know, and they
think dirt is shameful. But he died,
and there was the house with only
two payments down. Everybody told
my mother she'd have to go back to
the city to make a living But she
decided different.
"A development near where we
lived was building up, so mother went

He was one of a group Of
young American army officers

II years ago. In fact. it was

Arnold laughed as he recalled
the preparation and the infinite
precaution that surrounded the
flight as against the casual man

But il was regarded as a

then, and the two branches OF
the service went TO infinite

Ignorance has blamed him for

Congress. the depression would
