Why Lost
My Job
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
Cannot Satisfy Their Employers

l believe my fate is not unlike that
of thousands of other workers who
daily lose their places for reasons they
do not know, and probably would not
believe. When their last pay envelope
comes along 1t is usually. Your serv-
ices no longer required" II the truth
were known, the reason for their UNI
cermonious removal would probably
be that their usefulness was DESTROYED
because of some mental worry, bodily
ailment or general indisposition. These
things, as we all know. are the most
fruitful causes of failure in all walks
of life. The battle of Waterloo was
lost because of a headache. In this
quick age our minds must be clear,
rapid, active and free from outside in
fuence or worry, or else we go down
to failure with the throng OF "foaters"
who go from one place of employment
to another. giving no satisfaction to
others or to themselves, constantly
growing older and less useful, with no
ambition, no will power. and no hope,
Every man requires from every other
man the best that is in him. But no
man can use or get the best that is in
himself until he is first free from all
fretful indispositions and worries.
That was my trouble. ] was full OF
troubles. That's why I lost my job.

New York, May 6.-(SpeciaL )-George M. Conan, the actor author, has come out with a ringing denunciation of tn eatrical men who dignify vice in pub lfc performance and who pander to de- prayed taste. As 1t is an able presenta- ton of the situation think it worthy of reproduction. MT. Cohan says:
 "The theater is a business, safe, a sane and legitimate business, when followed in a dignified way. True, 1t Is only of late years that it has been rec ognized as such, but for a hundred years the standard of the drama has steadily progressed, It's moral atmos
 phere improved, and from being pointed at as clowns and mountebanks, as the people of the playhouse were classified a century ago, the stage today IS rec ognized as a powerful factor Tn the worlds education and advancement.
 Isn't it pity, then, to see the heater degenerated? Isn't 1t a disgrace and a damnable blot on the memory of the earnest men who have gone before and the upright ones who remain, and who, by exercising their sense of right and wrong, good and evil, and their choice of the virtuous and decent thorough fare, have conscientiously travelled a clean path and blazed a taintless trail for their posterity? Isn't it a disgrace to have left an inheritance of this vital value to the world, only to have it ret rograded and the records besmirched 3 oefouled by band of human bug
 ..ds, who, under the cloak of the play house, play upon the sensualities of the public who support it? Tenanting the Estage with the foul filthiness of unex- lpurgated foreign farces or the equally unclean vaporings of native authors,
