so, the higher you go, that I always

feet to the ground."
This is dangerous because, flying

Your Face and
Mrs. Rugg Discusses Opportunities Omaha Offers for
Success of Men and Women of Mental, Motive
- and Vital Types.
By MABEL WARNER Rl)GG.
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.

William C. : t am glad you enjoy The
Bee articles. The live wire people all do,

acter analysis they have been uncon
scloualy uMnjr It to some extent, without

should guess that sou were of the mental-vital-motlve
order, a splendid balance for
succeHS in the business world. Ctime in
