"Fun in Work"
Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. is a wealthy and energetic 27-year-old who has reported news for Publisher Hearst's newspapers, built up a news service of his own, built up three successful tabloid dailies in California and Florida. He has a considerable patrimony but may justly boast that his success is due not solely to that but to his name and his not inconsiderable journalistic talent.
Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. is not modest. Boast he does, in his editorial columns, in his very news columns. Last week he made his way into other news columns. He was in Baltimore being treated for an infected jaw, which he told the newspapermen was a result of gassing in the War. The jaw did not prevent him from announcing:
"Of all the boys with whom I have associated, I suppose I am the only one who has found fun in work. They lounge in clubs, play polo and think me a dub, I suppose, for working."
