GIVE HER A CHANCE.

DR.. Ida e. Nahm, who has the rep
utation of being the best woman
executive in New York City," gave
recently as her secret in getting along
with women this answer:
"Cive every one a chance. When
large body of us are working to-
gether a woman may make sug-
gestion that on the face of it seems
worthless. Don't kill every bit of
enthusiasm in her by telling or show
ing her that you think so.
Give her a chance. Let her ex-
plain il. Every one has some good
in her, not only in a moral. but in
an industrial or commercial sense
Every one can do something we'll
II is the business of the director of
their energies to find out what that
is. The good is there. If l do not
find it, it is my own fault.
when a woman has done some
thing we'll, praise the work. That is
a mistake that male executives make
in dealing with women and men, too.
They take it for granted that all
work will be done we'll, and save
their speech for rcbuke. That is es-
sentially. fundamentally wrong. If
you praise a piece OF good work,
that good work will be followed by
more. Never fail to speak the kind
word. 1t always pays. Men execu-
1tives should remember that employees
by their disaffection can wreck firm.
Happy employees mean good work.
Never spare the kind word. 1t is
an investment in future efficiency.
8 Did you ever stop to realize that
Just the ability to get along with
other women is one of the best assets
you car cultivate, best merely from
the mcrcenary point Of view if you
have to look at things that way.
And this characteristic depends more
upon just plain garden variety of eff
fort and everyday trying, and less
upon natural-born talent than most
OF the characteristics that spell sue
cess for a woman.
More and more in business the
woman who can get along with other
women, the woman executive, the
woman overseer is in demand More
business mon, merchants, and manu-
facturers arc realizing that a woman
if she is the right woman-is the
bsSt one to handle large numbers of
other women; that :he is better able
to understand them, better able to
give them the encouragement that
will mean increased results aad bet
ter able to mcte out the disapproval
that will mean improvement.
In every department store, in every
factory. in every large school, in
every big organization, every club,
whatever its object. in every large
office there is a place for the wom-
ar9 who can gain distinction for the
trait of getting along with other girls
and women. If you don't see any
other way to improve your chances
of success start in right now devel-
oping your faculties for getting
along with the other members of
your sex.

HELYAR TO GRADE

The board of governors of the local
league concluded Il contract yesterday
afternoon with James Z. HeIyar to
grade, roll and otherwise prepare the

fer use by the league. Mr.. Helyar
will have it ready for the first game
Saturday afternoon at O'Clock.
The ground is hard, and with proper
attention will make very fast infeId
The outfeld on the fair grounds Is by
no means bad and men who have
played en- the island and have been
getting practice this spring on the fair
grounds say that they can cover much
more ground on the latter place be-
cause it is harder and that hard hit
balls roll there as they do not on the
softer outfcld on the island
With the certainty that there is to
be local league baseball and the ap-
parent interest that is being taken in
the project, not only by those who are
to play but by many others, the board
of governors believes it viii be the
proper thing to take further steps to
improve baseball conditions on the
fair grounds and will do so as fast as
circumstances warrant.

There may be bright and numerous
rays of hope for the Braves in reeol-

Just how long the Federal league will
last is one of the puzzles that is con-
fronting fans and club owners in or
ganiZed baseball.
The losses incurred by the new
league this season are SO enormous that
it must be keeping some one decidedly
busy making both ends meet. In Bal
timore the situation is really desperate
and it would not be at all surprising if
the club were taken away from that
city and placed elsewhere in the hope
of cutting down the losses. SO weak
is the attendance in Baltimore now
that the club is losing money hand over
fist. This same condition exists in
Newark and Buffalo, while Brooklyn
is ~not- breaking even sandg the clubs
in st. Louis and Kansas City are
among the losers. Chicago is not do
ing more than breaking even. Just
where all the money is coming from
to square these losses is a mystery.
Angels are not so plentiful now as they
used to be.
