A member of an J old and distinguished Carolina fami ' j ly, she was a daughter of the late I Dr. Henry Woodt'in, and a niece of j the late Nicholas Woodfin, of Ashe 1 ville.

It 'sounded like a pretty broad .statement, but as I trH>d to analyze it 1 caime to the con - elusion that he was right. Most ptioplu won't agree, lyeaniv most people are not satisfied with what they have made of their live*, and imagine that if they had "got tin breaks" their careers would somehow have been diffeiftnjt. Hilt, looking baek ait the failures as well as th sueceses among men I have known for years, I think the professor was right The failures failed because they did not make tlu; necessary effort to attain' the goal of their ambitions, the successes succeeded btecause they put all they had in them into the job To the failures theirsuccessos seemed to have been easily achieved, but only the man who has succeeded knows how much harder he has worked than did the man who failed. WORDS .... how many How many words does it take to ex press oneSi self clearly in the English language? Shakespeare used more than 35,00 different words in his writings. Some years ago a student of such things reported that the av erage uneducated man used not mor. than 700 different words. Some sav age tribes have vocabularies of only 300 words. Tn the effort to compile a diction ary of English for use in the educa-. tion of persons speaking other lan guages, the faculty of New York University has come to the conclusion that not more than 900 words are really noedrd to carry on all ordi nary conversations. That does not in clude technical terms, of course. Too many persons have a tendency to- use unusual words where ordinary ones will answer as well or bettor. Sometimes I think the world would understnnd itself better if notiody were allowed to use more than 000 words, and those wore so clearly de fined that jvobody could inisunder stand their meaning. WEATHER down East The month of February, 1934, was the most severe winter month in tin Eastern United States since the win t?r of 1777-78 when Washington's arvny was camped at Valley Forge and nearly froze to death. There hav ? been heavier snows, but not in con motion with snob low temperatures. At my farm there was at one time three feet level depth of snow, with drifts as high as 20 feet, and the thermometer 35 degrees below zero! Folks who were certain that the Gulf Stream had changed its course ant! made the Atlantic ('oast promi nent iy warmer are trying other guess es now to account for the cold weath er. Noth'ng gives most people m/>r< pleasure than to try their hands at weather forecasting. And nothing is more futile than long-range weather predictions, INSULATION1 . ... new method As everybody knows, the trouble with most houses is that they let t/>o much heat out through the roofs and walls in winter and let in too much heat thiough the samcs routes in the summer. There are many ways of in sulating an ordinary house, some more expensive' than others, but* all ex pensive. Now the discovery has been made that sheet-aluminum, less than 1-100 of an inch thick, will insulate against penetration of heat as well as 20 inches of concrete or 12 of brick The discovery was made when u young man tried wrapping (Vgarottes intended for export to Africa in al uminum foil, and found that was the only protection against tropical heat It has been tried on many houses and it works perfectly -and costs almost nothing, those who arc experimenting with it say. That is only one of many new in ventions which will make the new homes of the fnture more comfort able and economical to run. OBSOLESCENCE Interpreted Owen D. Young has brought into public notice a word that is not giv en enough consideration when p<*opl< discuss the replacement of men by ma chines.

There is no danger of the world be coming ovf rerowded with the goods of man's production, so long as sci entire research continues to find new machines or methods which will per forin the same functions better, or do. new things that no marine has ever done before. Siome people thought there wore enough automobiles in the world when Ford finished making his fifteen-mil lionth "Model T". But where arc the model T's now? They have been re placed by better cars, which in turn will be replaced by still better ears. Let someone invent anything which ?will do any job twice as well as ex isting machines and coat half as moafc and every machine of the old type to
