Other Questions Discussed.

Other sections of the convention took
up the subjects Of export control. rails
ing of national revenue by taxation
and bond issues and foreign trade prob
lens.
The next bond issue may fail, said
Prof. w. \. Scott of the University of
Wisconsin. because Of the failure Of
people. generally to realize their part
Of the governments financial RESPONSE
bility and the inability Of the banks to
take war bonds heavily and meet the
needs of industrial expansion at the
same time.
The banks. Prof Scott said. are
pressed TO the limit of their resources
to provide money TO establish and run
industrial concerns the war has pro-
duced. This. he said, puts the big share
/ of the burden on the rank and file of
people.
The section which discussed EXPORT
control recommended that the govern
ment be urged to maintain enough
tonnage in the South American trade

Distribute Output.
LABOR IS ASKED TO HELP

ATLANTIC CITY, \. J.. September 2l.
Government price fixing of all essen
tial products, not only in sales to the
government, but to the public as well,
was recommended in resolutions adopted
today at the closing session of the war
convention of American business men.
The convention advocated Legislative
creation of a general government pur-
chasing department, which, in addition
to fixing prices, would have power to dis
tribute the output of industries in a
manner most necessary to the conduct
of the war.

Attitude Toward Labor.

The attitude of business toward labor
was defined in resolutions recommends
ing that labor standards remain un-
changed and that a labor adjustment
board be named to handle all major dis
putes. The declaration was made for
industry that it indorse a policy of no
lockouts or strikes while differences
were before the board and labor was
urged to take a similar stand.
A general declaration of the policy
business will pursue toward the gov
ernment and its war needs set forth
that 'undismayed at the prospect Of
great taxes facing the consumption of
its accumulated savings, American
business. without hesitation. pladges to
the government its full and unqualified
support in prosecution of the war until
Prussianism is utterly destroyed This
convention will dedicate to the nation
every facility it has developed and every
financial resource at it's command on
such terms and under such conditions as
our government shall determine TO De

ut is the spirit of American bust
ness" said the resolutions. that how
ever fundamental may be the change
in the relation of government to bust
ness. the government should have the
power during the period of the war to
control prices and the distribution of
production for public and private needs
to whatever extent may be necessary
for our great national purpose"
The purchasing department proposed
would absorb The. present war indus
tries board and the functions of the di-
rector OF priority. The present power
of the government TO control priority
of shipment would be extended to in
clude authority to direct priority Of
manufacture. sale and distribution. All
buying now done by various bureaus OF
the War and Navy departments would
be centered in the new board.
The convention recommended assist
ing the government in making pur-
chaseS through the formation of a
general committee of industry. repre-
senting all branches of business. which
would aid the purchasing department
in apportioning orders. This committee
would handle much of the work now

Daily Talks By Mary Pick ford
PEOPLE WE LIKE.

Il like her. She is so simple and
unassuming." 1 heard somebody say
about a girl in the studio. And
she's always willing 10 help the
other fellow"
Wouldn't that set YOU thinking?
Most Of US. when asked. offhand,
what we think are likable Qualities
IN people, would mention charm,
cleverness, wit, capability. beauty,
good taste-almOst anything except
the qualities specified in the girl 1
have mentioned.
Haven't you often heard people
say that they liked a girl because
she dressed in such good taste That
fact pleased our own sense OF taste
and we took it for granted that the
girl would prove pleasing in other
respects.
That is why I was so struck by
the comment l quoted. IL explained
exactly why all Of us liked the girl
IL described, and ! realized how
much it meant to be simple and
unassuming in ones ways and al
ways ready TO help the other fell
low The girl who represented
these things stood for the traits of
character back Of them; sincerity,
neutrality-suspicious.. not desiring TO
appear richer or finer than other
people. or even as clever or distin-
guished as she might be. herself.
She filled her niche in life without
arrogance and without calling at
tentiOn 10 either her fine work or
fine qualities in comparison with
those of others. 1t is taken for
granted that her word would be
good because she has always been
sincere. Her simplicity attracted
most, not only because Of what it
signified but because that lovely
characteristic is not so common.
Then. too, her willingness to help
the other fellow" implied so much
kindness, unselfishness, and sweet
ness Of disposition. One who is al
ways willing to help others never
wants for friends; kindness is
magnet that always attracts others,
and the person who is rarely kind
and really sympathetic is always
beloved. Love is like sunshine to
a flower. People thrive on it, Many
have claimed that continual
thoughts of affection really inspire
health and happiness in the one to-
wards whom they are directed
I have noticed a look of quiet
content on the faces OF people who
give and receive kindly and affec-
tionate thoughts and actions. and
il seems TO me so worth while TO
win that contentment of spirit by
merely exercising the quality Of
kindness. You will find that kid
ness is like the wonderful orchid
Gamma, with its gorgeous cOlors-ths
more II is cultivated the larger il
grows and the more abundant are
its blossoms. There isn't anything
so easy TO cultivate as a spirit of
kindness, and il is one of the most

PART-TNnE WORK.

The time was not long ago when
the woman that might stay at home
and not earn money, who went forth
as a bread winner was occasionally
accused Of taking the bread out Of
the mouths Of those who needed it.
But in these war days there is more
worl; than there are workers TO do
il and many important industries are
actually crippled for the lack of
workers. In a single manufactUr-
ing town l know of there is need for
many. many hundred more women
workers. There is an important sur
gical dressing mandatory where
really necessary instruments might
be made but are not for lack of
women workers. In the same town
the labor shortage hinders the out.
put Of an important hosiery plant
and only the enormous wages offer
ed secures enough workers for one
or two other important plants. II
is q we'll known fact that one of
the elements that is most trouble
some to department stores-and will
be 81 increasingly as the Christmas
rlsh dCvelOpS-is a shortage Of
labor.
Therefore il must be that there
is no danger Of harming any one
if YOU decide 10 go outside Of your
home 20 make a little extra money
now. The chances are that You will
be in a small measure actually re-
;ieving conditions by increasing the
labor market. If in former years
you might be criticised for seeking
work outside Of your home you need
feel that no longer for IL has become
the fashion here as well as abroad

paying assets in life-we always
reap an interest on the investment.
1 suppose you know that one OF
the VOWS taken 0y the Boy Scouts
Is TO perform at least one act OF
kindness every day, and some other
organizations have taken the same
pledge. Just the mere fact that this
obligation must be kept in mind
develops a habit of gracious cour-
tesy toward others and an impulse
to do what is right and helpful.
The impulse grows in one until
courtesy and kindness becomes
habits, for the 'act" specified in
the pledge means anything at all
that is kind, such as a pleasant
smile and word in the right place;
giving up ones seat in the car 10
lady or to the aged; helping some
one across the street-in fact. keep
ing ones eyes open for oppOrtuni-
ties of giving help.
And the way in which one does
these things counts for so much.
We'd all like 10 have it said of US
that we are simple and unassum
ing" in our generosities and atten-
tiOnS 10 others.

The Housewives Economy Calendar

for every woman who can to take
upon herself some useful work.
II you are actually in need of a
little more money-and who is not
in these days when the price of
every commodity has advanced so
much take an inventory of your
neighborhood and see what it offers
in the way of gainful employment
at part time. For if you are a house
wife you will not want 10 be away
from home more than half a day at
a time.
In the first place many Of the
stores have room for inexperienced
part time salespersons. The work
is interesting for variety's sake at
any lSte and as a rule employers
are very considerate 10 workers who
come in this way. If you have been
long at the helm Of the household
ship CT state you will be glad TO get
a chance to see the work from an
other point Of view for little while,
and il will be OF real benefit TO you.
Many factories have home work
for women workers more or less
expert. 1t does not pay enormously
we'll but il is worth while TO many
women who must remain at home.
In 1oing il you may feel that you
are helping the industrial situation
as we'll as making a little extra
money for yourself. Look through
the help wanted part Of your paper
and see what there is there that you
could do. Even if you do really be-
lieve that woman's place is the home
and the home only you must admit
that circumstances are such now
that any woman might do a little
work outside her home without de
tracing from her dignity or charm.
