"John wasn't a bad fellow, either. He worked in the round house of the Union Pacific in Cheyenne. I was a boilermaker’s helper. John and I lived together, good friends, you know. But he fell in love with Alexandra. too. "We didn't, say anything about it. We just fought for her quietly. But more and more she got to liking John. That made me jealous, you bet.

And then I try some other place, but always, I feci I have no business with happiness after taking this life away from my little one "I come here three days ago to go to a cooking school.

Penny a Day Gives Andrews Way to Garner $8,000,000 Each Year

People Are Weight-Con-scious. Multi-Millionaire Finds, to His Profit. BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS VFA Service Writer NEW YORK. July 19.—Looking :.ftcr the pennies has made the milliens fake care of themselves, and also of Archie M. Andrews. He’s the daddy of these trick scales that weigh you and tell your fortune for the expenditure of one copper. Believe it or not. these machines garner five tons of pennies a day, ar.d in one year they made $8,000,000 for Andrews, who now is workins; on anew type of machine which lie believes will make even more. "Tne smaller the unit of sale, the greater the profits.” he explains. "That's where the 5 and 10-cent stores have been so smart. No one misses a penny nowadays, and we are a weight-conscious people. Getting on the scales daily is a habit like eating or sleeping. I think the craze for dieting has something to do with it, but from a check-up we made we found that men are just as interested in their weight as women, though they may not be so intent on changing it.” Operates on a Large Scale Scales are only one of the many activities of Andrews, who is one of the most colorful and adventur-ous-minded multi-millionaires in the country. He is president of three big corporations, including one that is manufacturing anew, frontwheel drive for automobiles, soon to be placed on the market. He is a director in five other powerful organizations. It is Andrews’ boast that he never has had a salary, and that he never had any help from anybody. He always worked for himself, and his rule for success is this: Not of Retiring Nature "Get something you know about and believe in. and then build it up.” That has been his system—to take over small companies and build them into large and profitable organizations. In a life of conspicuous industrial successes, Andrews has made just one failure —that was when he tried to retire. Veteran Chess Editor Dead By rnitrd Priss NEW YORK.

“Everything is luck." insists A. M. Andrews, upper right, multi-millicn-aire financier whose weighing machines alone, of all his many interests, make $8,000,000 a ‘year for him.

The fourth largest in the world, it is used by Andrew’s to commute to and from his office.

LEFT-HANDED TRAIT FOUND TO BE INHERITED Two of Four Children of Southpaw Parents Show' Characteristics. By Science Scrcice LOS ANGELES, July 19.—Leflhandedness is an inheritable characteristic, and not merely a chance acquisition, according to Prof. Catherine Beers of the University of Southern California. * Zoology students working with Miss Beers have been studying lefthandedness for two years, and tracing its occurrence in families of the past three generations. Out of 1,398 individuals the students found that 12.3 per cent were left-handed. When the families of these 12.3 per cent were investigated, left-hand-edness was found to occur in about 25 per cent of the number. There is a two-in-five chance that the children of left-handed parents will show' this characteristic, the students found.
