DOROTHY DIX TALKS
LEARN To BE EfrIclent, chris.
By DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

Learn To Be Efficient, Girls.
Thousands of young women are
starting out this fall in the trade or
profession by which they expect to
earn their own bread and butter.
1 salute them as comrades. and I
congratulate them. for the feeling OF
independence that pervades a
woman's breast when she realizes that
she has the strength to stand alone on
her own feet and take care of her
self. is the most soul-satisfyiDg emo
ton that she will ever know.
But I wish I could say one word
that would penetrate thru the fluffy
brown and black, and gold hair mats
over the ears of all Of these little
sisters who are starting out along the
road that have travelled so long and
whose difficulties know 50 well. And
that would be efficiency.
Take that word for you motto, girls.
1t is the open sesame" that will open
the door of big opportunities for you.
1t is the magic word that will bring
success If you keep it forever in youP
minds.
whether you will earn merely bread
and butter. or will make jam, and pie,
and angels food. 1t is not a ques-
ton of the kind of work you go into.
girls. It's the quality Of the work that
you do upon which~your success de-
ponds.
The lowest rungs of every ladder
are cheap seats. The topmost rungs
are the places that command high
| prices. In every occupation in the
world from the lowest 70 the highest.
from being scrub woman to being
president. there are little thin pay en-
| velopes, and big fat pay envelopes
and the little thin pay envelopes go to
the incompetent workers. and the big
fat pay envelopes go to the efficient
| workers. It's up to you to decide in
\ which class you are going to qualify,
and how much money you are going
| to receive.
DID you ever think of this; that
you have to work just about as hard.
and as many hours a day, to earn a
little money as you do to earn a lot
of money? Think 1t over and you will
| see that it is true.
The cook who knows so little about
cooking thet she has never learned
bread that IL not a first aid to the
undertaken, and who cannot cook a
roast without getting 1t overdone or
| underdone. has to work just as many
hours day, and just hard for IS
or $40 week as the chef does for
hotels in New York gets $4,000 a
year for spending only four hours n
day at his Job.
The poor dressmaker who puts
gowns together hit-or-miss, and who
has to be forever taking things out.
and putting them in, that she has
slap dashed together and gotten
| wrong, has to toll ten times as hard
for few dollars as the competent
dressnaker does for many dollars.

This strange custom Is also followed
by the state department, in which not
only the secretary. but all of the as
sistant secretaries. leave their life-size
ikenesses on the walls of their offices
One third assistant secretary of state
who held his job only three weeks
nonetheless improved the opportunity
to beautify the place with his portrait.
Some CT these official lkenesses are
very good and some are not, for the
American government supports no
court artist. but has its great men
painted on contract. In some cases
evidently the best bid has won out
rather than the best artist: but all
of the portraits are very impressive.
and that is the only thing necessary,
