A SERMONET FOR WORKERS

! lFor the News" by II ] Hapgood.l
When an employer appreciates the
value Of capable employees and knows
how to secure them he has only begun
to solve the employment problem COM
petent men will be worth no more to
him than men OF mediocre ability un-
less he knows how to use them. TO be
really successful, he must know how
to get the best possible results out OF
every man in his employ and to re-
tain those who make good.
Andrew Carnegie puts this matter
well when he says that his success Is
due not only to his surrounding himself
with clever men, but also to his know
ing how to use their brains to the
best advantage The history of his
career knows that he rarely failed to
retain the man who proved valuable
Many employers adopt the dangerous
theory that there are many capable
men in the world, and that special ef-
fort TO retain their employees is not
worth while. Following out this Idea.

positions during the past few years
have been filled by a surprisingly large
number OF high-grade men, and 1t is
still able to attract such men by large
salaries. 1t hardly seems possible, how
ever, that men can give their best ef-

terms of their predecessors have been
and know that they themselves will be

there was an cutlery. The whole work
was denounced as immoral an insult to
religion and the Church. In fact. so
loud were the thunderings from the

and decided not to risk failure, for it
was clear that faithful churchmen ana
churchwomen would feel called on to
stay away, But at the last moment
word arrived from headquarters at the
Vatican that the ban had been removed.

are:

III. q. Hunting reports in the Technical
World Magazine how an Italian engineer
named Caminada has undertaken to trans
pert freight across the Alps from Genoa
TO Basel by novel system of water tubes
linking the Mediterranean with the Baltic
and North seas. The tubes are to be
constructed in pairs parallel at inclines
corresponding to the natural contour of
the land with open water levels at con-
venient intervals. Water derived from
the mountain streams and lakes will be
used to fill the tubes while gates at each
water level SO control the inflow and out
flow that while the water is rising as one
of the parallel tubes is filling up the other
tube is emptying into it. Thus a boat hoat-
ed into the upper end of one of the tubes
passes down the incline to the lower end,
as the water level falls and at the same
time this water, let into the twin tube
may lift another boat from the lower end
of the incline to the higher. The boat,
both in rising and descending, is kept at
a proper depth of water by two running
sheaves, placed upon the prov and below
the stern respectively, which will guide
the boat on its way with two rails fixed
longitudinally on top and bottom of the
lock. springs being provided to avoid
shocks
