L08 ANGELES GREATEST TPHK only thing; we know Southern California is that no more njipropriitte stiij.'ft for it could have been found than in Los Angeles Comity. There are more half-linked cnltists, lonjr-haired freaks, and plain "nuts" of the orehard-rmi variety, fifty miles from the city hall of Los Angeles than anywhere else on the surface of this terrestrial globe. In such an atmosphere the lunatic fringe can't fall but reach its maximum fruition. We don't care where the radical faddist miiy be born or where he or she may live, it requires no passes of the hand, or mystic, crystal gazing to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that eventually that particular astral body will find its physical orbit within the generous boundaries of the "Citv of Angels." T1TRRE they go. And there they stay. Whether they believe in the "Hoyal Arms of the fireiit Kleven" uncooked al falfa, baring the feel or laying on of bauds, if they are only crazy enough to be headed for the padded cell anywhere else, they land and forever after thrive in the city and county of Los Angeles. Some peoplo wonder why the energlie and far-sighted hum dingers pi' Los Angeles make no effort to discourage this mi gration. The answer is not difficult to find. If all the individ uals of strange, weird and lop-sided mentalities now within the gates or headed in that direction were eliminated, Los Angeles instead of surpassing San l'Yaucisco in population would have difficulty in keeping abreast of Santa Cruz. As Count Keyzerling receully staled, Los Angeles is the liiost, "unreal" city in Christendom. It, is. And thai, perhaps is one of tho reasons why so many of us like to go there I f . ' NO AGE LIMIT FOR ACHIEVEMENT A FEW weeks ago a well known Eastern educator, in em phasizing the importance of curly training, mnde the state ment that the individual's niche in life is determined at the ag'! of forty. Je further claimed that the sort of education re ceived in adolescence was the most important single factor in the Quality of success achieved. We fear the speaker failetl to recall the facts in the lives of two of America's greatest heroes, Ahniham Lincoln and If. S. Grant. In their fortieth year both of these men not only re garded themselves ns failure, hut TMIIS is particularly true of had tried the nriiiv and fulled. Ife liml Irieil fai'minc niwl failed. He had tried business, little better than a tramp wilh und family kept from absolute year, from his two brothers, who lena" that "Useless" was n better name for the future Presi dent of the United Slates than Less than n year later Grant Union Itrmy, four yeurs later was Commander in Chief of the federal force, and seven yeurs later was elected President, by an electoral landslide that remained a record until 1923. ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S situation at forty was less hopeless. But, on his fortieth birthday he confided to his law part ner, William Henry llerndon, that, war had killed him politically; he and until he was forty-five ho took no part in polities, and only eked out bare livelihood as n lawyer on the circuit. As far ns nny niche iu life was concerned, Grunt end Lin coln were at. forty doomed to poverty and obscurity. Then the tide turned. Some will enll it Kate. (Ithors, Luck. I'erhaps it wns n combination of both, but the determining factor, no doubt, was tho fact that, in spite of appearances, they both had underneath the elements of character which, with tho proper cireiinistanees, produce greatness. , THE point we wish to make, is this. There is no age limit to either achievement or greatness. De Morgan wrote his first novel after he was seventy. At twenty-five Napoleon was n failure, at thirty-nix he ruled Europe, at fifty he was beaten by a "contemptible drill sergeant" mid died friendless and alone in exile. Education is imporlanl, but character is more important, -anil circumstances, acting upon the hitter, may de termine that niche iu life, at almost any time between birth an I the grave.

KM i - - t r TI1K CLOCK'S ItKQUEST lty Mary Cniliiiin ISontier ICvei-y evening the little "black clock took John and Peggy for ad ventures. Every evening he turn ed the time backwards oc for wards, to any time at all except the ordinary time. The little binck clock was thankful, indeed, that he had ac cepted the magic given him some time betore wnich had given him i tile power to turn himself to any time he wanted. He could go back one day or hundreds of days, or he could go forward. But as far as the rest of the world was concerned he wns al ways 7 o'clock. That had been the j time when he hnd stopped yenm ago when he had accepted th. much mure exciting life of being any time he chose. John, who was 8, and his sister, Peggy, who was 5, had been in vited by the clock to shuro' his secret and to share his magic, "We have big plans ahead," tho little black clock told them,, as -t hoy started out that evening. "Hut Ilefore we go I have one re quest to make." The. little black clock certalnls had plenty of mng:c. tor ho coilld add hours, too. Even though the children went with him on adven tures he saw to" it that they did not lose any of their sleep, for it they were gone for hours he was able to give them four extra hours of sleep when they got back to bed again. He didn't do this by having them sleep Inte In the morning. Oh, no. Ho s:mply added the hours to one of the others so that they didn't lose any sleep, and yet the regular tinlo was not upset.
