THE KLIE: OMAHA, SATURDAY. Ivi'MlCH 20, 11)21. Y The -Do-It, Yourself" person By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Afho Occupies a Unique Position in the Writing World as an Author ity on the Problems of Girls. Are you the "do it yourself type f person or do you expect some ne to accomplish most of your liv ng for you? ' "None but myself shall I meet on he highway of fate," wrote a poct ihilosopher with great wisdom and ruth. Most of us blame our failures on ur ancestors, environment, ill-luck, aithless friends, digestion, stars, ten- ier-heartedness. super-honesty, weak j lings on aiiyinmg except our own ack of gumption. . I N'o one was ever bom' with a fine. : ,turdy character all ready for use. ! Character has to be developed. And lothing serves better for this than lardships. Wrestling with , haid ihips may ' not be comfortable and lelightful and altogether inspiring, jut it has a power for building en trance and grit that no amount of rolling around jn limousines and 'ipping orange frappes up and down the map of fair weafher has ever been known to produce. I never knew a great success who ladn't a battle behind him. A hic :essful playwright once told mcj that he thought it took at least 12, vears of failure t build a successful playwright. ! Sometimes. I ' think ft takes at least 12 years of failure to build a' nuccessful anything. Starting out with but mediocre talents for racing, the tortoise.of olden fable heat the finely equipped hare. Plugging , did it. Plugging away seems to do about anything on which the. plugger is bent. . rOf course no one ever becani-the world s greatest tenor by just hav ing me uesire plus a tine equipment hs a carpenter. ,But some folks es tablish a definite' relationship be tween their ambitions and their abili ties. : ' ' ',. - -'. It takes work to build a house. Worlc and planning and figuring back of that. lt takes about the same things to build an individual. Given a little ability, a sense of .direction about the best of his talents and the willingness to labor lovingly and long for their 'development, almost anyone can get anywhere. Life's an endurance test. It seems to consist largely pf getting knooked down and picking yourself up again. The failures are the folks who having been knocked down once or a hundred times stay down. .No one knows at what particular moment success is just around the corner.. . Everyone has seen this proven in the lite of some one he knows Failure after failure per haps even .the, weakness and the dis couragement that precede quitting fine more spurt one more dogged effort and then achievement. There is enough of the gambler in most of us about the trivialities and in the sense oP taking risks of all . sorts. But just when the gambling spirit, is needed and one mofe bout with Jife might mean victory, we ciuit. Vrhere is no more terrible and unnecessary perhaps, even terrible 'ecause unnecessary tragedy than "Tuat "of givihg up with . the goal in view, i And I've an idea that most 'of thtefolks who do quit are just on Doris BlaW .rV.-:-vSvt.x...--7 1 Preparations for - Women Voters' . Convention Gay in blue and buff, the chosen colors of the National League of Women Voters, Cleveland, 0., will welcome the league when their sec ond annual convention opens April 11. And this color scheme will be repeated in, all the decorations at the hotels, on the badges and fluttering from automobiles during the week's stay of the delegates. .. The city has just recently held conventions of the National Y. W. C. A. and the State Federation of Women's Clubs, so is experienced taking which cannot be permitted to in entertaining and caring for. big i suftVr. n nutter what may happen crowds. The Statler hotel has been chosen as the league headquarters. The Cleveland League of Women Voters will act as hostess and Mrs. Walter B. Laffer has been chosen chairman of the convention commit tee. With real business efficiency, subcommittees have been made to look after the arrangements of the convention and care tor the comfort and entertainment of the 1,200 vis itors who are expected. Miss Belle Sherwin, chairman' of the Cleveland League of Women Voters, has issued instructions to the league to-to arrange all work that "even in a case of murder there shall he no hitch in arrangements even for an hour," for "this is an undcr- to any one person The convention will be a busy one, with conferences scheduled whenever regular sessions will permit. De spite this, however, the city's hospi tality will be shown in various ways. The mass meeting of the league will be held in Masonichall, a'reception will be given in Cleveland's beauti ful new art museum and there will be an afternoon drive which will per mit the delegates to see the university district and some of the city's beau tiful parks. Lack of lime makes trouble with the teeth. A quart of milk supplies as much lime as 28 pounds of beef, 23 pounds of potatoes or 9 pounds of white bread. SO many, many requeue 1 have come in the last week for horo scopes for the months of Febru ary and, March. I suppose the famous birthdays must revive an interest in the influence of 'stars. As you know, the signs which arc supposed to -govern birth - dates do not begin with the ijfst day of the month and end with the last. Aquarius is the sign governing the period from January 21 to February 19. From February 20 to March 21 the sign Pisces rules. Pisces people are the students of the race. Nothing is treated super ficially by Ihcm. They want to get at the root of things, which explains their habit of questioning everything and always wanting to know the reason for things. No occasion is too insignificant for them to get information from. Tbey are always alert in a quiet, orderly way to learn whatever they can of interest; They are naturally endowed with a capacity for thought, industry, common sense," and a per severance above the average. : They are logical and positive in their opinions, and, while they are kind hearted, affable, and apparently submissive and yielding, they are vastly determined', in the accomplish ment , of their' plans, which are the result always of a long and careful deliberation, In the fulfilment a duty or a promise they are equally determined. Their logical minds demand a reason for their personal actions. On account Qf this trait they are most skeptical about accepting a new religious belief; in fact, they have many materialistic tendencies to overcome. . t If they are possessed of intellectual ability', they frequently become ex perts on those subjects to which they turn their attention. If, however, circumstances have cast their lot in a low channel, they are apt, to be gross and materialistic , in. their the verge of succees if they only knew if they'd only go on trying. Nothing in the line of outside in fluence can. settle finally the ques tion of achievement. Influence may open doors. It won't keep the un worthy inside the halls of fame. To succeed is to. produce something worth while, something that's want ed. And to do that requires under standing of yourself and of other folks. " . thoughts and habits, and lack intel lectual aspirations. They have strong ideas of justice. They are conscientious, anxious to i earn what they possess, and they dread to be dependent upon others. They are liable to self-censure and despondency. They have good manu facturingability and belong to the manufacturing sphere of life They like to study out ' little problems in mechanics and engineering, and have an inventive turn of mind. They are sympathetic and philanthropic, anxious about providing for the fu ture, , and at times even penurious. They are nervous and exacting in all things and Yather inclined to be se vere and fault-finding in business .:nd domestic life. - .. They- are usually distinguished by their pale complexions, fine, and .en sitive skin, and full round forehead. They are sensitive to surroundings and to changes in the weather. Sympathetic friends are those born between June 22 and July 22 and be tween October .24 and November 22. The birthstone is the bloodstone. Colors: Gray. . pink, white and black.
