He thinks the ancients measured time by the moon and called a month a year. Professor Russell T. Crawford, California astronomer, counters with this: If Longacra is right, Methuselah’s father was only five years old when his son was born, The average reader passes on, indifferent to ancients, concerned mainly with his own allotted number of years “How does it affect me?” is the final question of man.

Increasing use of machinery, re labor, may change the average physique amazingly in a few generations. RIGHT One thing that looks as if Germany means business in the matter of paying reparations, is the way she’s cutting down government expenses. In a few months 400,000 gov- | ernment employes have been fired—a fourth of the total. The tendency of all governments is to have just as many employes as the taxpayers will stand.

A man climbs to the top of the ladder. He hardly gets his breath before he finds himself falling through’ space. The fellow on the rung below, who has been following him. has shoved him from his place. Success has been described as a ladder. It is. The ladder leads to a diving board from which plunges a steady stream of “successes.” A few men stay at the top so long that they become chronic national characters. But usually a man is through after 10 years or less at the iop. Maybe he keeps “the name.” But, chances are, he’s |more or less a figurehead. A newcomer is doing the real work—exerting the real power and authority. Compared with the number of years it takes to climb thee: ‘ladder, the average success remains at the top just long ‘enough to examine the scenery and discover what’s hap- ‘pened to him. There are, of course, exceptions, But excep- tions prove the rule. i Have you noticed that, while men seem to rise to suc- jcess faster than they used to, they also tend to slip sooner? Here’s a man in his late thirties. He has a big income. Comes a period of depression. He’s out of a job, probably broke. Maybe he comes back. maybe not. Average ability is increasing. So each year it becomes :more difficult to win out against competition — also more | difficult to keep a position of success after we get it. Twenty years ago, writers of good fiction were scarce. Now there are schools turning out writers in hordes. Writ- ing itself has been analyzed and systematized so that it is merely high-class “carpenter work.” Fortunately for writ- ers, their sales market has widened as fast as the increase in competent followers of this profession. ; ’ So it goes in nearly every line. The “stars” have their | understudies, quite as capable as themselves. Psychologists ‘and systematizers have “taken the works apart” and laid ‘bare all secrets. That’s why it’s harder to stay at the top than it used to The Tangle LETTER PROM LE!
