"I counted on winning second place, but I thought Pickup had beat me for first prize," said Hopson. Hopson ascribes his speed record to his policy of Hying with or avoid ing wind currents, as the case nny be. ' Involves Daring Risk. This policy Involves daring riskf, coining west from Chicago. "The wind is so high and increases so, the higher you go, that I always big the, earth, "flying as close as 200 feet to the ground." This is dangerous because, flying so low, be would have no chance to alight, iji case of an emergency. . Leaving Omaha, Hopson adopts the opposite policy.

N an earlier article" I discussed the general classification of hu man structure into three types, mental, motive and vital. This does not mean that each person who comes before your notice can be olas-sified as purely mental, strictly motive, or wholly vital. Most peo ple are a mixture of two types. It is better still if they are a combina tion of all three. Then they have the blessing of the strong recupera tive powers from the vital;""rtc driv ing force of the motive, and from the. -mental they get joy in pure brain work. Omaha is a largely commercial center. It is developing along cul tural lines to a promising degree, but still offers its main opportuni ties in business lines. It is a driv ing city for the aggressive, motive type man. who stands out as a sym bol of the city itself. If you are not convinced of this, listen to the remarks of out-of-town people when they pass Sixteenth and Farnain streets, where one of our purest motive type men plays "windmill" all day long. Person after person; from east and west, have asked this question about Dudley the cyclone, "Is he a mu nicipal advertisement?" Big Packers Classified. For one thing, Omaha is noted as z. packing and food-distributing cen ter. This kind of work is. most successful for the man of the vital motive type, the man who enjoys the good things of life and wants to sit and direct the activities of others. Survey the photos of the j acking heads, presidents of the big companies, like Armour, or the man agers of big branches, like R. C Howe. You will find them predom inately ot the vital-motive type. Now compare their characteristics with those of any representative group of railway presidents, or transportation executives. Railway men may have their normal share of the vital development, but they stand out most prominently as mo tive, with squareness of head and body build the driver type of man structure. These for MotiveNType. Other Omaha industries offering success to the' strongly motive man are the building trades, manufactur ing lines, chose'n with regard for the man's bodily texture; the auto indus try, the electrical industry and all such allied fields el work 's go with these lines. Politics should be ad ministered by the motive type man with keen brain development. For the strictly mental, Omaha shows a narrower field, but one that is widening each year. Our institu tions of learning take their share and are growing by leaps and bounds. There is a conscious and successful effort directed toward developing the arts in our city and there is a splen did field for the artistic mental type. For the Mental Type. When the mental is ell support ed by motive energy." or by vital stamina, then there is the wide pro fessional field, with the law, medi cine, engineering, dentistry, advertis ing and journalism. In succeeding articles I will take up these line, of work arid endeavor to give to you the outstanding quali fications necessary to entering them for success, as well as giving a brief analysis of the inner obstacles to be met in each line before success can be attained.
