HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1931 PAGE THREE OTHER PEOPLE'S SUCCESS. We were at the opening night of a play. Between the acts we were talking with the author when a friend rushed up. "It's going to be a great success, old man," he cried. "I congratulate you." Then his expression suddenly changed. Jealousy shot into his eyes. "I wish I knew how you get away with it," he exclaimed. "Why in the world can I write a play?" As he walked away we looked af ter him with pity. We know him well. We have seen him act the same way before. His whole atti tude is Introspective. Envy gnaws forever at his soul. One of the most pathetic figures in the literary history of England was the author George Gissing. What was the secret of his con stant unhappiness? He reveals a part of it in presenting the hero of one of his own novels: Intensely self-conscious, he suf fered from a habit of comparing, contrasting himself with other men, with men who achieved things, who made their way, who played their part in the world. He could not read a newspaper without reflecting sometimes bitterly, on the careers and position of men whose names were prominent in its columns. Philosophers and religious teach ers have attempted in various ways to account for the gross inequal ities of life, and to hold out future hope to those who seem to have received only a niggardly portion of happiness. Christian theology presents the promise of another world where re wards will be distributed in propor tion to sacrifice, courage and fidel ity to truth. The reincarnationist holds that the soul is but a short time tenant in any human frame; that if I make spiritual progress in this in carnation I shall reappear in hap pier form; or, failing to progress, will be demoted, to work my way painfully up again. Until we have passed across the River we shall not know which, if either, of these philosophies is true. Meanwhile, the sensible man is not afraid to face frankly the facts about life and about himself. He recognizes that he was born with certain limitations; that, however strong the desire for brilliant achievement, he has neither the tal ent nor the opportunity. He recog nizes further that success, as the woVld views it, contains a very ap preciable element of chance. He surveys his own equipment and tries serenely to do the best he can with whatever he has. As he grows older and more mellow, he recognizes that every minute of jealousy poisons his own soul. And that he can vastly increase his own pleasure by the habit of en joying other people's success. DERBY I was one of fifty thousand people who saw Twenty Grand win" the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. It was a unique race be cause the best horse won and broke a track record and because the win ner was also the favorite. It was the betting rather than the beautiful spectacle that interested the crowd. Without betting there yould be no horse races. Kentuckians are still disputing how to pronounce the name of this race. They always called it Durby until the English Earl of Derby visited the track last year. He pronounced it as if the second letter were "A," so half the spectators at the race used the Eng lish pronunciation. More interesting than the racing was a flight over the track by a young lady in an autogiro, which landed in the middle of the field. KINGS There are now more republics in Europe than there are monarchies, for the first time in history. Seven teen to fifteen Is the exact propor tion. True, some of the republics, like Estonia, Latvia, and little San Marino and Andorra are pretty small nations; Andorra has only 191 square miles, which is only two thirds the area of New York City, while San Marino has only 38 square miles, just 1,280 acres larger than the standard western county of 3B square miles. But there are some tiny kingdoms, too. The small est independent nation in the world, Monaco, is a monarchy consisting of just one square mile or 640 acres! The principality of Liechtenstein has only 65 square males and the Grand Duchy of Luxumbourg only 999. All of these European republics and many of the monarchies are trying new and different systems of government. Europe is an experi ment station of democracy. None of the existing governments is uni versally satisfactory; the speed with which the pepole change them indicates that The only govern ment in the world which has endur ed for more than 150 years without material change of form is that of the United States of America. We may not all like everything about our own government, but is seems to suit most of us pretty well. ABILITY The biggest task for farm copoer atives, says Chris L. Christensen, secretary of the Federal Farm Board, is finding the right men to manage them. The trouble here, as in other fields of business, is that most men think they are just as able as any other man. "Men are commanding a high premium in the cooperative movement," says Mr. Christensen. These are hard times, and many good men have been thrown out of work by the closing down of the enterprises where they had jobs. But I know several men who imme diately got better jobs than they had ever dreamed of, because they were exceptionally able. Indeed, I know of no man who was a real top-notcher in his line, who is not being constantly offered more mon ey to go with somebody else. One old friend of mine, in the motion picture business, recently got an of fer from another company. He was getting $125,000 a year; the rival company offered to double that. "We'll give you half a million a year and a five year contract to stay with us," said his old employ ers. He has ability, and his com pany recognizes it EARTH The National Research Council, composed of America's foremost scientists, has determined the age of the earth to be just about 1,852, 000,000 years. That figure differs from estimates made by some oth ers, which range all the way from a hundred million years to seven trillions. The Research Council estimate, however, is not based on guesswork. It is easy to determine the age of rocks which give off radium em anations, by calculating the propor tion of lead of uranium contained in them. There is ground for be lief that all of the uranium on earth was a part of this planet when it was torn from the body of the sun by a passing giant star. Hence, if we can find the oldest uranium bearing rock and calculate its age MEMORIAL DSN Tears and flowers G loving thoughts--This is Memorial Day IN MEMORY of those who have roiio In-fore and who (rave ul, that wo who followed might enjy llf.n lilerty mill tlio puituilt of hiippliires.

The oldest such rock so far found is in Russia, and the figure reached as a result of its examination is the one I have cited. How much longer the earth will last is another ques tion, for which there is less solid basis for an answer. It will be hundreds of millions of years, be yond doubt, but whether it will be habitable for human beings until the end of time is still debatable. ROSENDAHL America's airship expert is Cem mander Charles E. Rosendahl, who will command the new Navy dirig able now almost completed at Ak ron, Ohio. Of German descent, born in Chicago, reared in Texas, a grad uate of Annapolis, Commander Ros endahl has spent 3,333 hours in the air on dirigible balloons and air ships of all types. He commanded the Los Angeles, which was built in Germany and came to us as spoils of war, on its longest flights. He was a passenger on the Graf Zeppelin when that airship flew from Germany to Amreica. He was in command of the Shenandoah, the largest airship ever built in this country, when it broke in two in a thunderstorm. The end that Ros endahl was in remained aloft and he navigated it like a free balloon to a safe landing. The new Goodyear - Zeppelin which he will pilot is four times as large as the largest airship now in existence. If It comes up to expec tations it will be the forerunner of a fleet of American-built aircraft running on regular routes carrying passengers and mails to Europe and back. Try a G. T. Want Ad. N. Y. Physician Tells Of Sargon's Powers Dr. G. H. Warburton, Graduate Famous Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York, was so con vinced of the great good In Sargon that he recently declared: "It is not what we eat that counts, but what we assimilate. Sargon helps us get more good out of our food, thus aiding the natural build ing up of enduring strength, firmer flesh, calmer nerves, improved brain power and a sense of physical well being. You eat with a keen appe tite, sleep with a new peaceful soundness and wake up with a feel ing of renewed strength and ener- gy." While those who actually benefit from the use of Sargon marvel at the results of this triumphant com pound, only the trained physicians who have been retained to examine the formula can understand why Sargon is now considered one of the great outstanding health giving remedies of the age.
