Did you ever see a sensitive plant?
1t is very lovely when ii is trailing, in
all its exquisite tracery of pink bios
SONS and delicate vine, along a wood
land road. But touch it rudeIy and all
it's beauty is lost, for at once it seems
to shrivel before ones eyes and all Of
the daintiness is merged into a green
string of vegetation which has lost its
chief charm-itS exquisite detail.
Many girls are very much like this
sensitive plant. They are very dainty
and lovely until they are rudely touch
ed by the world, and then suddenly
they seem to lose all of their dainty
feminine charm and to become very
commonplace members of society
manners and lose their attractive per-
sonality, which once made them
sought after.
In the Business World.
1t is a pity for any one ever to be-
come hardened TO the rude knocks of
a busy world But it is a still greater
pity fer any one to acquire brlstles in
stead of blossoms. For few people like
a prickly disposition any more than
they do a prickly flower.
Some girls, after they have tlced
the world for awhile and have become

but go about like the tabled Irishman
who was so belligerent that he was al
ways daring somebody to knock the
chip off his shoulder, which he had
placed there for that very purpose:
The busy world has little time or
inclination for the girl who goes about
with a chip on her shoulder, always
looking for trouble. There is a quaint
bold nursery saying (which advises.
Never trouble trouble till trouble
troubles you," and another one which
says, Don't go out of your way to
hunt trouble"
But a great many girls. especially
those just starting out in business, do
this very thing. Having led more Or
less sheltered lives, they are unused
to the ways of the world and are con-
stantly taking offense at occurrences
which are of no Importance.
Men and women in business and
especially at this period-when COM
mercial life is in state of reorgania-
tion-tave not the thought for many
of the small amenities of life.

are probably so engrossed with cares

BUSINESS WORLD HAS LITTLE
TIME FOR SENSITIVE PLANT

States entered the war that they have
not considered many things which
might have engaged their attention at
a time when the business situation
was less serious
young girl who had had little
business experience and who. having
had a good high school education and
/ training in a business college. had Sc
cured a responsible position with Il
large firm, was much offended because
she said those with whom she was
constantly thrown in contact We're
rude in their manner.
On being questioned as to the rude
ness of which she complained she said
that many of the employees did not re-
spond to her morning greeting and
that the head of the firm was churlish
when she took dictation. AS an evil
dence of this churliShneSS she cited
that the head of the firm was churlish
when she did not understand him.
Now all of this was ridiculous. Even
il her associates and her employer had
been rude, she should have kept her
own counsel. For any one who enters
the business world must make up her
mind that there will be many occur
rences which will not be pleasant. The
probability was that her associates did
not hear her lOw-spoken greeting, and
if her employer raised his voice. he
did so in order that she might eaten

Different Standards.
Women who enter the business
world should remember that the same

not fitting that they should. People
do not have time for the same cour-

IMPROVEMENT
in BUILDING
IS GENERAL

On the basis of the money value of
contracts let during the month of Feb
ruary. blu -lding and construction work
rapidly is approaching the normal for
this season of the year. A memoran-
dunn for the Economics section Of the
Division of Public Works and Con-
struction Development has been made
public by the L. S. Department of La
Dor, in which the February figures are
compared with those of pre-war years.
The statement is as follows:
For some months previous to No
vember. 1913, the total money value
Of building and engineering contracts
awarded was about the same as for
the corresponding months of the two
previous years and larger than for the
same months in the years 1914 and
1915.
Reducing the money values for the
years 1914 to 1917 to present costs. the
1918 amounts were about equal to the
average for the previous four years.
1t must be remembered, however. that
one third of the contracts awarded
during the year 1918 were for govern
ment work.
Expressed in million dollars. the
money cost of construction in Novem-
Der for the years 1914 to 1918 was as
follows: 1914, 46; 1915. So; 1916, 122:
1917. "a; 1918, 1870. Reducing these
figures to the basis of 1918 prices, and
expressing in the nearest millions. they
appear as follows: 1914, IS: 1915, 1876;
1916, 1863: 1917, 1903; average for the
four years. 100. Since the amount for
1918 was 1870 million dollars, 1t is evil
dent that, with government work IN
cluded undoubtedly to quite an extent,
it was about the normal amodnt.
"In December, the hesitation follow
ing the signing of the armistice and
the exception of falling prices began
to be felt. The actual figures for De-
cember for the years under considera-
ton were: 1914. AZ (million); 1915,
So; 1915, 113: 1917, 81; 1918. 81. Re-
duced to 1918 prices, the four preced-
ing years appear as follows: 1914, 90;
1915, 1877: 1916, 81; 1917. 1O3: average
for four years 113 million. The amount
for 1918 was 81 million or fifty per
cent of this average.
The January figures of the actual
contracts awarded are, 1915, 43; 1916,
So: 1917, 81; 1918, 1852. Reduced to the
basis of 1918 or present prices, these
appear to be: 1915, g.: 1915. 81 Il;
1917. 105: 1918. 152; average for the
four years 100. The amount for Janu-
ary. 1919, was 81 million dollars, still
about fifty per cent of the average
The actual money values OF con-
tracts awarded during the month OF
February were: 1915, 40: 1915, 90;
1917, 95; 1918. 14T. Reduced to the
1918 or present basis of prices. these
are as follows: 1915, rs: 1915, 30;
1917, 10; 1918, 147; average for the
four years, 100. AS the amount Tor
February, 1919. was e5 million dollars.
it appears that this was 80 per cent
of the average for the four preceding
years.
IF we include 1913 and 1914, with
actual amounts of 20 millions and 80
millions respectively G03 and 90 when
reduced to basis of present prices) the
average for years becomes sS millions
and the present February IS about %
per cent of this average.

GOODWIN'S WEEKLY
PRAISES G. 7. ODELL,
Praises His Untiring Efforts in the
w. S. s. Campaigns

Not enough has been said in praise
of the efforts of George T. Odell as
State Director of the w. S. s.. All
over the land the camgaign in behalf
of the w. S. s. proved to be one Of
the most difficult Of undertakings.
Why this should be is almost mex
plicable in view of the inducements
offered by the government to float
this form Of loan. 1t was an invest
ment almost without equal in the
long history of war loans.
The selling Of w. S. S. as it trans
PRED, was big task everywhere. No
where was it performed more worth
lily or more successfully than in Utah
under the direction of Mr.. Odell and
his associate, James w. Collins.
Although one of the busiest men
in the state as general manager OF
the Consolidated Wagon ond Machine
Co., Mr.. Odell willingly augmented
his labors to serve the government
in it's hours of crises. He made many
trips into the state to organize the
work and to use his great influence
to promote the sales. 1t was his mar
velous energy and tenacity which
brought such notable results despite
the many difficulties.
We are justified in assuming that
it is this character Of persistency in
the pursuit of an object once set as
goal which has brought Mr.. Odell
such success as a business man. II
doubtless had something 70 do with
his selection as state director of the
w. S. S. Campaign.
1t is the distinction of Mr.. Odell
that coming from this country a pooi
lad from England, he has worked his
way up from the humble position OF
a freight conductor to the genera
managership of the largest retail i'm
plement company in the world. Tit
