BUSINESS WOMEN
TAKE KEEN INTEREST IN WORK

may be bad and office STATS cut down,
but she is fixture.
Too many girls work merely for the sal
airy at the end of the week. This spirit
never tends to increase of pay. because
work done in this way is half-hearted: 1t
is she who labors regardless of pay, In a
mea sure, who gets raise"
AS an evidence of her interest she ar
rives at the Office on time and does not
leave promptly at the closing hour. 1t Is
not that she has been told to stay late.
Such a request would be superfiuous
There is work to be done and she wishes
to stay until it is finished. This does not
mean necessarily that she likes work for
works sake but she does like results.
and these are to be had only by labor.
1t isn't easy to work in this way. but
few results that are worth while can be
days. and even weeks, when a girl who
will think she is getting no return; that
her employer neither notices nor cares
about her work. At other times she will
feel that the more she does the more is
expected of her, and then will come one
glorious moment when she is made to re-
aliZe that her worth is known.
When she least expects it there will be
responsibility put upon her which shows
her intelligence and honesty have been
seen. or her pay will be raised or she is
given a special holiday. II is impossible
to tell how the reward will come but it
almost invariably does. In the rare cases
where she gets no recognition she has
the inner consciousness of having done
the best she can, and that is great moral
stimulus.

If a girl expects to succeed in business
she must work hard-do more than she
was engaged for-because If she takes the
attitude that she wasn't employed to do
thus and So and rebels, she speedily be-
comes her own worst enemy. 1t isn't
half so much the amount of labor that
she puts out as the spirit which goes with
it. and if she works cheerfully, showing
herself not afraid of doing too much. she
will usually gain the benefit of extra labor
in an increased salary or an advancement
in position.
Truth is the girl who accomplishes re-
suits is the one who regards her employ
er's interests as her own. They very 1T

Contrary to this theory. an employer

RECIPES FOR PREPARING
GOOD TOOTH POWDERS

1t is possible to use tooth powder that is
too active to benefit the teeth because of
the strong bleaching ingredient contained
Consequently it is better to select mild

Before ana'yzing cleansing powders and
washes attention should be given to the
selection of brushes. 1t is better to have
one which is too small than one over
large. because I'm the former case all the
teeth will be gone over. when a brush
that is too big cannot reach those in the
back of the jaw. This is fact worth re-
Numbering
Bristes of uniform length are not as eff

is never" the slightest doubt about the
front teeth being thoroughly ceansed but
only a brush i'll which the bristles are
longer at the tip than in the middle will
reach into every crevice and crack at the
back The ideal brush is narrow and
slightly curved, or has bristles shorter in
the middle than at either end.
MI brushes should be soaked over night
before first using. For in this way the
bristles are frightened.

ROAD SYSTEMS FOR
NATIONAL FORESTS

The Office of public roads of the de-
partment of agriculture is to cooperate
with the forest service in drawing up
plans for comprehensive systems of
roads and trails on national forests
For the last two years congress has
provided funds for permanent improve
ments on national forests, and large
part of the money thus available has
been and is being used for road and
trail bnilding. The amount is too
small, however, In comparison with the
total area of the forests to make pos
sible more than very small begin
ming. With thicker settlement and in
creasing use of the forests, good roads
will become more and more crying
necessity.
The object of securing the help of
the Office OF good roads is to make the
work take the nne that will not merely
serve temporary convenience, but also
so count for most in theend. By
building each year with reference to :,
carefully worked-out plan the danger
of indirected effort will be avoided
During the present summer an en-
gineer of the Office of roads will go
over the ground on several of the for
ests, and draw up plans which win be
submitted to the forester, and will
serve to guide subsequent work. Where
the roads planned cannot be bull
trails WILL so far as possible, be made
to follow the courses laid out. with the
expectation that later they will be
converted into roads.
The roads, trails, telephone lines and
fire line already constructed on nation.

both in the work of fire protection an |
in servis he convenience of rtc
public. The further this work c;n be
carried the greater will be IL useful
