Do Clothes Make the Man?

IT'S an interesting question
Would the King of England still be
L every inch king if he wore overalls and
smoked clay pipe'
Would J. P. Morgan with a patch in his
trousers be as great power in finance he is
in perfectly fitted suit?
In 1905 President G.. Stanley Hall of Clark
University sent out series of questions to 40
young people.
1t would pay every young man in business to
write these questions down and answer them
himself by recalling his own experience.
Question was:

they could hang onto the job as long
as they didn't get drunk and disOr-

their vest buttons and throw out
their chests so far they could almost
climb up and sit on their own chests.
And, gee whiz, how awful respecta-

must know yourself, Judge, that it's
qwfulIy tiresOme to get respectable
all of a sudden and have to stay that
way. When I begin to feel respecta-
BILE I get suspicious of myself and
have to do something rough to save
my character. But with lawyers, I
suppose it's different. When they
become federal judges they fell that
they have to be respectable and

For years, Judge, I've had hank

(CouAe,). AS long as the Chairman of the
Committee has directed the telegram to
the Council, it means Members of the
Council, if it was meant otherwise the tele-
gram would have been sent to Government.
The Chairman (SlGkemdan) would put it
to vote if the delegates should be both of
Members and outside of the Council.
lst Member for Frederiksted Town
(Coute1) did not consider this quite clear.
it should be put whether exclusively of
Members of the Council.
The Chairman (Stohemana) put to vote,
limiting the choice to Members of the

(Mersoin). The telegram says, there has
been expressed a wish by some Members
of asking for delegates, the Majority of the
Committee has decided to follow the wish
OF these Members. I don't think we should
take the vote before we had the Delegates.
4th Member for Christiansted Country
District (Schmte9eloo) I understood the
matter was to be settled tonight?
3rd Member for Christiansted Town

appoint some men, since they home have

this proposal, the delegates will do no
harm.

Gil?
The Chairman (Statemann). Yes.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Town
(Couter). We are now coming to q deci-
sion; there is no necessity of sending dele
gates, if the question is sale. There is only
one argument, if the Islands should not
be sold, then the Delegates must impress
them home of the necessity of the greatest
possible help.
4th Member for Christiansted Country
District (Schmiegeloo( am pretty sure, if
the Delegates speak the truth, we will be
sold pretty soon.
The Chairman (Stakemann). I will now
put the question of sending Delegates to
