Lines In Exhortation

Are you patiently attemptlng-as the poets
hint you should
To do the little homely tasks, the work of
common days?
Are you trying to be helpful, and perform
some humble good?
Are you asking when the faithful little
pIoddcr gets raise?
The Boss. who's not promoting you,
Perhaps is merely coating you
BY quoting you some tripe about how
patience gets the pelf:
But do not let that twaddle
Sink too far into your noddle.
For there is no Boss nor God II
Lift finger to enrich you till you
ask it for yourself.
For it's not the little trivial things that hap
pen day by day.
The homely, humble. helpful tasks we
hear so much about
II isn't all these picayunes that matter, let
me say
It's the BIG things Bosses look for when
the plums are counted out.
Just study heavy hauling, for
That's what the times are calling for:
BY falling for the minor stuff you
show yourself simp.
If you don't want to get sacked or
Trudee along like some old tractor
Why not be a real factor?
WHY not take a chance and make a
hop and try to be Blimp?
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE. ;
A girl delegate at the convention OF the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks in Cincinnati
has protested vigorously against the use of
the term "brotherhood' for organizations
that have feminine members.
We also have been up against this problem
and have solved IL to our satisfaction. The
long. mooted organization of Chatting Dish
contributors is to be known as the Human
hood of Chatting Dish Veterans. In re-
sponse to many inquiries, we wish to pro-
nulgate the news that no pensions will be
maid until after thirty years of active service.
A.. Human beings are of two classes. There
are those who, when they have to wait in the
crowd at the back of a movie theatre until
there are vacant seats, eagerly crane their
necks TO see the last of the speeding film.
And there are the others who resolutely
avert their eyes. so as not to spoil the effect
of the picture when they can see IT entire.

Washington. May II.

WHILE Judge Isaac johnson. of Delaware
w county. and William W. Matos. Of
Swarthmore. with the backing Of Governor
Sproul. Attorney General Schaffer and other
prominent men. have been arranging tes-
timonial to Samuel NJ. Nauclain in appre-
citation of his services to the United States
and her allies during the war. 1t Is pleasing
to note the tribute paid TO the retiring presi
dent of the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Alba
II. johnson. whom Mr.. Nauclain has been
elected to succeed. by his associates Of the
Five O'Clock Club of Philadelphia. 1t was
late in the evening when Mr.. johnson arose
to speak. but what he had to say brought to
instant attention the distinguished guests
who had been enjoying the evening under the
guidance of DIR. Hobart a. Hare. the club
president. 1T is the first day in forty three
years said Mr.. Johnson. THAT / have
been free from my duties in connection with
the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Then he
told the interesting story of the father who
had preceded him as an empoye of the Bald
win Company. after my fathers death"
he continued II summed up courage to ap-
pear in person before the late John II. Con-
verse to ask for the position of clerk. Mr..
Converse looked me over and seemed to think
| was too big boy for the job, I turned
away sadly, when some one who knew my
father said That's Sam Johnson's boy
whereupon Mr.. Converse called me back and
said. We have a vacancy here which you
may fiji. - Mr.. Johnson's recital of the
development of the works during the next
forty three years constituted n chapter in
the history Of Philadelphia which might bear
printing in full. 1t was a story of the city's
advertisement throughout the world by one
of its own institutions, like unto which no
other in the United States may attain. As
to the future. Mr.. johnson told the Five
o'Clockcrs he intended to devote himself to
civic work, less cxacting. perhaps. than that
which had occupied the major portion of his
life.

dramatic utterance on the part Of William

planning just what the remark was.
The other evening we saw movie Of Mr..
Daniels meeting the famous French leader,
General Mangin, somewhere along the
Rhine. Poor Josephus had savage time.
Plainly he had no French. and it looked as
though Mangin had no English. They shook
hands. First Josephus took Mangin's right
hand and they both smiled radiantly at
each other. Then some one must have told
them to face the camera, for they skipped
around amably. Mangn then took both Of
Josephus's hands and bowed low with great
grace. Josephus got stage fright Two or
three times he leaned in mute agony toward
the French general as though yearning to say
something. His face was contorted with un-
expressed friendliness. General Mangins
eloquent features blossomed into a whimsical
grin. Josephus was in torment. His lips
trembled as though he was about to cry mis-
eraby Parley 600 French! He tottered
hOpelessly. We thought he was about to
make the supreme sacrifice and embrace his
ally, when the film was cut off.

THE Gridiron Club of Washington has a
l. national reputation because of the celeb
rity of the guests it is better able to gather
about its board than any other dining club
of the kind. It's dinners are much like those
of the Clover and Five O'clock Clubs Of
Philadelphia. It's proceedings. however.
have become much more formal than those Of
the Philadelphia organizations. As with other
famous dining clubs, almost everything de-
ponds upon the daptabiity Of the presiding
officer. The Glover Club gained its high rep
utation for wit largely through the excep
tiOnal versatility of Moses p. Handy, who
was as well known in Washington as he was
in Philadelphia. Two other presidents have
helped to sustain the Clover Clubs reputa-
ton, the late Colonel Alexander X. Mcclure
and the present president, the efcrvesceut
OK Governor William NJ. Bum. The Five
O'clock Club early adopted the rule of chang
ing presidents annually. but it had some
markably able ones, including Henry J. Nc
tarthy. James Pollock. George s. Graham,
James NJ Beck and the late Mayor Charles
+. Warwick. But this year. partly because
the war upset the festivities of the club, DR..
Hobart A. Hare was re elected president. In
Doctor Hare the club has made a find. He
is widely informed and knows public men,
His introductions are quick. sharp and grace
full. and he has proved himself to be an ex-
ceptionally dexterous buffer for the shafts
of wit that sometimes shoot chairward from
every side Of the board.

L of Colonel Jacob +. Hyneman. who has
been fighting for years to obtain recognition
on the Gettysburg battlefield for the United
States Veteran Signal Corps Association.
Civil War Division. Colonel Jake has told
the story to so many members of Congress in
Washington that no one can forget the
heroic services rendered by these advance
agents Of victory in the struggles of the
Civil War. There are mighty few of the
signal corps left. but the survivors at last
achieved on their own account a tablet on
Little Round Top which will be lasting
memorial of the gallant services they rem
dcred to their country. Colonel Edward II.
Haskell, of Boston. was chairman of the
Getty ysburg memorial committee, of which
Colonel Hyneman was a member. DR.. Fred
W. Owen. of Morristown, \. j., is vice
president Of the association. The late Su-
pcrior Court Judge John J. Wickham. of

have gIoried in the triumph of the signal
corps survivors had he been privileged to be
with them, for he was one of them.
