And of this never for moment
doubt that the man who success
fully manages a great railroad,
bank, factory or other enterprise,
is one who neither listens to nor
bears tales to any person of what
this one says or does. He treats
all with courtesy and fairness,
and like the great and loving Ex-
ecutive. when his generals were
accused, deducts 70 per cent from
every accusation and throws the
remainder in the wastebasket.

there are always some who are
full of plots and of schemes for
more pay, shorter hours or ia
vors generally, They scheme to
have one foreman bounced" in
order to have another man. who
will help their cause, put in
charge.
Should success follow their eff
forts, and the old foreman be re-
placed, the first move of the new
man will probably be to dis
charge the conspirators who
helped him.
Men who consplre and plot,
and who lend ready ear to the
idea of strike, are marked on
every time book for dismissal
when the hour is ripe. And when
ever you find a man who spends
half of his time looking for a Job
you can rest assured that he is
one who carries d large cargo of

You can never stand in with
the boss by telling him of those
who are laggards. The only way
you can win his favor is bv set

No man can ever succeed who
hopes to get better position by
defaming or dragging down the
reputation of another. There is
but one way to win, and that is to
do your work we'll and speak i'll
of no one, not even as a matter of
truth. ANY other course leads to
fears. tears. woeful waste of life
force and oblivion.
There is only one way to win
the favor OF good men, and there
is only one way you can secure
the smile of success. and that Is
to do your work as we'll as YOU
can and speak i'll Of no one.

NEW NUMBERS FOR HOUSES.

EDITOR The Georgian:
The street numbering plan,

strangers in the city. l approve
of the general idea of using de-
fined east, west, north and south
lines to divide the city and the
inauguration of the 100-to the
block or centenary system of
numbers. but your plan leaves
room for considerable confusion
because of the use of imaginary
lines from the Pryor street engine
house to the State Capitol at Cap
itol avenue and from Edgewood
avenue at Five Points to West
Hunter street beyond the Ter
minal Station.

to let the line from north to south

WOMEN DEFEND
THEIR STATUS IN

Reply to Barclay ]. Doyle S
Statement That They Are
Not as Useful as Men in
the Selling of Goods.

Salesgirls. saleswomen. sufragists are
rallying today to the defense of their sex,
which was severely criticized by Barclay
]. Doyle, of the Keystone Publishing
Company, in his speech yesterday at the
weekly meeting of the Walnut Street
Business Association, at the st. James.
Mr. Doyle told his audience that the
wise merchant employed men, that
women we're antagonized by salespeople
of their own sex. and that men in gen.
eral did not care to deal with women.
Employ statesmen and not sales
women" was his advice in a nutshell.
More than so per cent OF the sales made
in Philadelphia stores. he said were made
by the customers themselves; they pick
out what they want and the clerk makes
out the sales slip.

Most Of the customers at this store are

to make dress for u woman before she
will make up her mind"
Miss Doyle head of the shirtwaist de-
partment, who said she was no relation
to Barclay j. Doyle, explained, neverthe-
less. that she could recommend him any
number of good saleswomen. women
make just as good salespeople as men,"
she said, "and in many cases they are
better and more suited for the business"
"Saleswomen may be Indifferent at
times" said Mrs. George A. Piersol, chair
man of the Woman Suffrage Party County
Committee. but don't you think sales
men are just as much so? II girls lack
interest in their work, IL Is often be-
cause they are not properly fed and prop
erly paid. To work intelligently at least
substantial food is required. Raise wo-
mems wages and you have the solution
of the problem.
"As for employing men instead OF
women. It is all very we'll for some oc-
cupations. Women can't sell ice and de-
liver II, but, on the other hand, for
you know are not only necessity, but
a great help. / know any number OF

Miss Florence 2. Pelrce, secretary OF
the Consumers League of Eastern Penn

"Women know what other women
want" she said "and. in most cases,
women have excellent taste. A sales
advice is of the greatest as
sistance.
There are more than 200 900 women en-
ployed in this city and 10000 of them are
saleswomen. The comparison with the
number of men employed is not dis
paraging. Women are being employed
more than ever before, and the idea that
men can be employed in their places is,
