CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) HOW TO GAUGE SUCCESS The Very Rev. William Ralph Inge, dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, presented the other day a new @efinition of success; and, since he insists that the mount of moncy one makes his nothing to do with guceess or lack of it, his definition is worth studying a bit. “To be successful,” says Dean Inge, writing in the current North American Review, “is to have made a right use of our life; to ask what we have got by it is _ irrelevant.” | This, to be sure, is exactly what the sages of all times ‘have been saying for many centurics; but in an age where one’s bank balance and the price of one’s auto- } mobile are the gauges whereby one's achievements are | measured, it comes like something new. 4} To have made a right use of life—to have done, in § other words, the one thing which one is fitted to do, and | | to have done it to the very best of onc’s ability—here, | § when you stop to think about it, is a gauge that might upset some of our snap judgments. The politician, fitted by ability and temperament to ead his less fortunate fellowmen on to a better and freer existence, who takes the casicr way, subordinates hiis ideals to his desire for reelection and finally winds up in the United States senate, a prosperous, contented Teactionary who serves a political machine instead of the People as a wholc—is he a success or a bitter failure? ‘The writer whose talents fit him for the important task of giving mankind a genuine glimpse of the splen- @or and tragedy of the world, but who goes after the money instead, writes a string of “best sellers” and be- .@omes famous and wealthy doing shallow fluff for the popular magazine—has he succecded or has he failed? ‘The industrialist, who has a chance to give bettcr ‘working and living conditions and greater freedom to ® whole mill-town full of underpaid workers but who makes the piling up of dividends his sole concern, so that he dics a multimillionaire and leaves a bitter in- @ustrial problem for his successors to ce 1 with—has he “made a right use of his life"? And—to reverse the picture—the lawyer, who could Iigve made millions in the service of wealthy clients, ' but who chooses instead to devote his life to serving the poor, the downtrodden and the unfortunate who cannot pay for the legal services they need; the lawyer who does this throughout his life, and so dies poor and without fame—do you call him a failure or a success? We are fond of saying that “money isn’t everything,” but few of us really believe it, in our hearts. We Measure our own success, and the success of others, by financial returns. Dean Inge's remark gives us a new yardstick. It is worth keeping in mind. EDUCATION r It seems to be about time that we had a restatement ) @f our definition of education. We are demanding things ‘of the person we call educated which we may have no | Bight to demand of him. t ‘The tendency to look on the educated as a super-in- » Pellectual seems to be a hangover from the days when Oliver Goldsmith modestly confessed to a yearning amidst the swains to show my book-learned skill;” ) fwhen he pictured the rustics ranged around the village @choolmaster discoursing in “words of learned length - nd thundering sound: And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all he The sum total of things to be known has increased any hundredfold since those days, so that even Gold- @mith’s village master might be considered as nothing re- | markable. From this great store of knowledge the schools pick out certain things which are worth knowing and at- fempt to impart this knowledge to boys and girls. We _ fan remember only a small part of what is thus learned, ‘and the chances are that when we meet someone who fhas remembered the same things which we have re- gmembered we call him educated. i ‘This of course, is wrong. Some of us may know things which we did not learn in school. It is conceivable that @ man may be s most excellent teacher in some line with- ut having heard of Eli Whitney, and it also is conceiv- @ble that one may be able to answer many questionnaires and still be a failure as a teacher. PRESERVE THE NATIONAL PARKS Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, writ- | fing in the August issue of American Forests and Forest “Aife, urges the American people to use unceasing vigil- _ ance in resisting schemes for the commercial develop- _ ment of portions of our national parks for water power, and similar schemes. “If these national parks are to serve their larger pur- ,” he writes, “it is imperative that there be no low- bg of park standards and no letting down of the bar- of protection. Surely these magnificent areas are inspirational value is far greater than any r nate ein to be derived through industrial utiliza- @f their great natural resources.” 3 isn't much to add to that statement. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, Private life, but the moment he became a statesman he went crazy. They all do: our greatest wrongs originate with former good citizenns who become lawmakers and public executives. On the outside looking in they sce clearly and with surprising vision. On the inside looking out they compictely lose their bearings. Par better for society were the alchemist to discover the sceret of making men as level-headed in office as out of office than to find the formula for turning baser metals into gold. JOBS FOR THE INDIANS Scerctary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur secms to be an official with a good deal of common sense. When he took office, he found one of his major prob- lems presented by the half million Indian wards of the government. Most of them, living on reservations, suf- fer greatly from sickness. Infant death rates are far higher among them than among whites; the tuber- culosis rate is appalling, and doctors seemed unable to find a solution. Secretary Wilbur, investigating, found that the In- dian’s great need was simply a job. Most reservation Indians are idle. Being idle, they never have enough money; hence they go hungry from birth to death, and because of their chronic undernourishment arc eal susceptible to disease. So now Mr. Wilbur is going to remedy matters by; providing jobs for them. They are good workers, and the southwest needs labor so badly it has imported 500,000 Mexican workers in the last decade. Mr. Wilbur believes that by hitehing the idle Indians to these jobs he will go far toward solving the “Indian question.” It is marvelous what common sense can do to @ sup- posedly knotty problem. THE VALUE OF THE GRAF'S FLIGHT During the past year it has been the practice to examine carefully every outstanding performance in aviation—such as a transoceanic flight—and ask, “Now what on earth is the practical value of that stunt?” And, more often than not, the question has been hard to answer, The flight of the Graf Zeppelin, however, is different. Dispatches from the Goodyear Zeppelin factory at Akron, O., indicate that the dirigible makers there are all ready to build giant passenger dirigibles for ocean service. Regular routes are planned, to reach from Cali- fornia to Hawaii and from the Atlantic coast to Europe. All that remains unsettled is the financing. But the financiers were cautious. They weren't quite sure about the big dirigibles. So they waited to watch the Graf Zeppelin fly around the world. The Akron men believe that this flight will remove the last ob- stacle, and will make regular commercial occan flying service @ reality. RESPECT FOR THE COURTS Newton D. Baker, defending a Cleveland editor from a charge of contempt of court, declared that a court can best inspire respect and admiration, not by punishing those who criticize it, but by gaining a reputation for wisdom, fairness and poise. That is a point that is worth emphasizing. The Power | of a judge to punish for contempt of court is often used to make a judge's actions immune from criticism. And the judge who abuses his power in that regard is doing far more to bring his court into contempt than the man who ventured to argue with him. As Mr. Baker points out, if a man be a judge, and an- other man thinks him an improper person to be a judge, the judge does not become proper by restraining the man who thinks him improper from expressing his opinion, THE PANAMA CANAL PAYS It isn't so many years ago that certain pessimists would shake their heads when anyone mentioned the Panama Canal. “Oh, yes,” they would say. “It’s a great enginecring achievement, and it’s a military necessity—but it's cost- ing like thunder, and it'll never pay its own way. It will always be a drain on the government purse.” You don’t hear much of that kind of talk now. Last year, for instance, the Panama Canal set a new high record. It carried more tonnage than ever before, took in more money—$27,127,000—and rolled up a neat profit for the year of $18,000,000, Evidently that canal was an extremely good business venture. Who says the soul of art is dead in an industrial age, when every other gas station is dolled up with white- washed cobblestones? . One explanation is that the scientist who says the next; great war will be on the insect world is organizing aj fishing expedition.

It means that Mr. Cur- tis cannot rent, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of his 160 acres of homestead land in Oklahoma without gov- ernment sanction. Yet it is by his own wish that Mr. Curtis remains in this category, officials explain. The government would remove Mr. Curtis from this classification immediately upon request, but the vice president explains that he does not do so because he wants to be an example to other members of his diminishing tribe. He seeks to keep them from selling their land and dissipating the Proceeds as other Indians have done. Curtis’ Kaw Property is valued at about $8,000.

In home canning it is economical to use glass, since it may be used year after year. The principal point to remember is that heat is the main thing in preserving. Also that the entrance of any sir whatsoever will cause spoilage. Bac- teria in the food must be killed by heat and then no more air allowed to enter the jar. The food will then keep for as long as fifteen or twenty years, and comes out perfectly fresh and attractive. The cold pack method of canning is no doubt the best, both for home use and for factory canning. In homes the advantage of the cold pack methods are that it saves the time which used to be spent bending over a hot cookstove, and saves labor since the foods are handled only once—the time they are packed into the jars— and it results in a food which is more wholesome and has a better form and flavor. It is both an efficient and satisfactory method, and the only two vital things to be watched are that the food is thoroughly sterilized, that is, heated through, and the cans are thoroughly sealed. The can should always stand the test of standing in- verted without leakage. Another point to remember is that the storage of canned foods is im- portant. When the commercial label says, “Store in a cool dry place,” it is also a good rule for the home can- ner to do the same. Our grandmoth- ers understood that food kept cool down in the cellar was less likely to “work” than the food which was kept on the shelf in the warmth of the Charges that Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt's “own inside story” of ; her life and attempts to enforce pro- | “LOOK IN THE BOOK” The next time the girl at the next desk asks you which I received” or “the book that © I received,” suggest that she get a copy of “The Secretary's Handbook.” | by Sarah Augusta Taintor and Kate | M.

Bacteria do not grow well in cool places, so if any bacteria do re- main in the jars the food is_more likely to spoil in a warm place than if the canned goods are kept cool.

Snoring Question: J. K. writes: “I am 35 years of age and have never snored before, but it is becoming something regular with me the last year or so. I shall appreciate it very much if you will advise me in regard to your treatment of fasting and dieting.” Answer: Snoring is usually caused by inability to breathe freely through the nose while you are sleeping. This is because of an inflamed condition of the membranes inside of the nose which is engorged with catarrhal mucus. As soon as you get rid of your catarrh through living on the Proper diet, your family will be de- lighted to notice that you are no longer snoring. Requefort Cheese Question: K. L. asks: “How did Roquefort cheese get its name?” Answer: This cheese is named after the French village of Roquefort, where special herds of sheep that supply the milk are pastured. Much care is given to the diet of these sheep, and even the water that is supplied them is whitened with bar- ley-flour. Roquefort cheese, itself, goes through a very long process of Preparation before it reaches the market. It is, however, a very good Protein food when used in proper combination with other foods.

Montenegro belonged in the middle ‘ages to the great Servian kingdom. In 1710 the Montenegrins sought and ob- tained the protection of Russia, but in a war with Turkey they became 50 hard pressed that they were glad to agree to a treaty in 1862, by which Turkey's sovereignty over Monte- negro was recognized. By the treaty of Berlin, in 1878, the European pow- ers granted Montenegro independence, but restricted it from having a navy ‘and provided its waters be closed to ships of war of all nations. These restrictions were abolished in 1908 and Montenegro was pro- trian province of Dalmatia on the west and by Herzegovina on the north. “ a
