Success, that fleeting and rarely met pleasure, is not easily de fined. It is one of the things for which perhaps most people would like a definition. In fact, if someone had a definite policy laid out which would insure success, that man could make a fortune. But relative to a definition are some essential points, the factors of suc cess. The following outline was given in the reports of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and is intended pri marily for engineers. It might easily apply to any walk of life, how ever. The outline was compiled from questionaires made out by men all over the United States. The points are as follows: 1. 3. 4. 5. 6. Character; integrity, responsibility, initiative, resourcefulness. Judgment; common sense, scientific attitude, perspective. Efficiency; thoroughness, accuracy, industry. Understanding of men; executive ability. Knowledge; of the fundamentals of engineering science. Technique; of practice and of business. All University students should be interested in facts lie these, for it can be readily seen that they are vital. Great men invariably have character, efficiency, knowledge and all the other factors. Some excell especially in one or two lines, as Napoleon who was above all a great judge of men and efficient. Many of these characteristics are acquired rather than inherited and with proper training, many ordi nary people could rise far above their present station. So why not begin to build up these factors scientifically as a part of the business training for life? THE BOOMERANG. Have you ever been particularly interested in the construction and action of a boomerang as to why it comes back no matter where or how thrown? And have you also ever curiously tried to apply the theories of such mechanical devices to every day life? In other words, "cast your bread on the water and it shall come back to you." If we could all live up to the Boy Scout requirement and 'do one good deed for someone every day, we could righteously feel that we were at least trying. But often in the rush of school and social affairs, we forget others in our own selfish existence. The general attitude of the whole world today seems to be to fight for oneself and let others do the same. In fact, we heard a University man recently say of modern business, his chosen profession, "It's the man who can hold his own, no matter how, who is considered success ful. In order to do real business now, you must forsee the other man's game and beat him to it. There is no such thing as a square business man he positively cannot be." Surely, we said, the entrance of college trained men, believers in irue sportsmanship and the square deal, into business should change such conditions. But the reply was that competition was too great that eventually he also gave in. Somehow, we are firm believers in the triumph of right over wrong, and the evil we do will come back upon us every time. World and campus politics alike eventually must reap defeat if they resort to crooked means. The general public is never so completely fooled to allow much in that line in the long run. And old-fashioned or not, we still cling to the idea that one good deed deserves another. THE SILK SHIRT CRAZE. A paradox of the present day is often that the more one pays lor an article of wear the less service one gets. This is especially true when the higher price is the result of substituting silk where wool or cotton formerly was used. In spite of its decreased qualities the demand for silk continues. Silk shirts for this spring will cost from $20 to $25 according to Louis B. Timm, secretary of the largest high grade shirt manufacturing company in the world. Mr. Tlmm's company in New York has orders for $13,000,000 worth of shirts for this spring and 60 per cent of the amount is for silk shirts. Ten years ago, he says, his company sold very few silk shirts. Now they are a craze. As a matter of fact the silk shirt is not worn for service. It no more represents an article of apparel than the diamond stud which outdoes its brilliancy. Both are merely badges of the expensively dressed aristocracy. But they are not worn as much by the wealthy as by the workmen who can least afford them. The man who makes a habit of wearing silk shirts usually is clothing himself with a false splendor that fools no one, not even the washerwoman.

His hand will soon be in my pocket, your pocket, the professor's pocket The worst of it is that you and I will have no say in the matter. This man is not a genius. He has been striving away for years, barely eking out an existence. If this man was a lawyer or doctor, he would stand no more chance of getting rich than you or I. He has bided his time. Right now, you and I are seriously considering giving him part of our worldly goods. There seems to be no escape. Per haps some loophole may yet appear, by which we will be able to get out of his shackles. But there is not much time for this to happen. One week ago, you knew that there must be such a man somewhere in this world, but you never thought that you ever deal personally with him. He has already taken large sums of money from professional, business and laboring men all over this United States and his schedule calls for Ne braska to be next on the list He is going to cause greater changes to take place in this country than Edison, Ford or Woolworth ever did. He is a greater man than our next president will be. 'Who, you say is this man? The answer is comparatively simple. He is the overall manufacturer. DAUGHTER GETS ENTIRE ESTATE OF E. C.
