There is one wa1'to be great, that iste

re too sensitive to ask.
I Before the ears can be attuned tt
the harmonies of the Master they mus

cism. This does not apply to thick
skinned people, whose hides are i'm
pervious darts, but to people who
have trained in a spiritual way. Be-
fore the tongue can speak the beaute-
GUS truth it must have lost the power
to wound. Before we can do service
which will make us loved and indis

merge self. Before we are ready tt
occupy the seat of the good, we mus
be able to do deeds in the dark and tt
dumb people. Before we are truly
good we must be able to see goodness
| in every man.
Those who would lead want to leaG
the elite, but the great leaders have
been willing to lead the nondescript
to be friends of the lowly, they
learned to submerge the feeling OF
superiority, if they ever felt it. Few
people deeply desire to be of service
what the most of us do is to wish
that we were in certain positions

SHOWING WAYS HILLMAN'S
TREAT SoME"EMPLOYES
Some more light on the way Hill
mans treat employees came yester-
day when Henrietta Green, 761 N.
Dearborn aV., complained to The
Day Book. If what Mrs. Green says
is true, Hillman's hands its workers
bum deals.
Mrs. Green worked there three
months, she says, after she left Man
dePs for HiIlman's because the hours
were shorter there, although pay
was less. She was hired to teach
customers, how to work fancy goods.
When a patron. bought materials in
Hillmah's she was entitled to les
sons free.
Last Wednesday evening S. M.
Hit, manager, called Mrs. Green to
his off1ce, she says. He simply told
her she was fired.
She tells what followed like this:
''I asked him why 1 was dis
charged. He said, None of your
business 1 told him it was my bust
ness and CnaL ne coulQnC IRE his
workers just as he pleased without
telling them why.
HE asked me for my time card
and 1 refused to give it to him until
he paid me, for thought it was my
only protection against him.
'T called him a dirty slave driver.
He answered that if didn't give him
the time card he would have me ar
rested. Then he called a couple Of
detectives. I dared him to have me
arrested and told him would tell all
about conditions in his store if he
did. l was not arrested and they
paid me what had coming.
