EGO GOOD FOR YOUNG MAN, CLASS IS TOLD Better Than Inferiority Complex, Says Illinois Bell Chief. Bv United Preen CHICAGO, June 13.—It’s far better for a young man starting out in the world to have an exaggerated ego than an inferiority complex, Bernard Edward Sunny, chairman of the board of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company, advised the graduating class of the Armour Institute of Technology. "If I had to choose between a young man of extraordinary ego and one with an inferiority complex, I should choose the former,” Sunny told the class Thursday night. “While aggressiveness and conceit may be unpleasant, the aggressive man is likely to make others think. Napoleon and Roosevelt were examples of the egoist. One would not have become emperor of France and the other would not have built the Panama canal if they had been timorous.

Dr. Wolf said that when he was at Ziongrad last week a band of peasants approached the prefect of the town and asked that they be allowed to plunder the shops for twenty-four hours to allay their hunger. “We have reached the twelfth hour,” Dr. Wolf cried. “The country is imperriled.” Count Hunyadyi said many respectable peasants had told him that if the present situation continues they will march on Budapest and begin a peasant revolution.
