THE MAN WHO FAILS.

The man who fails is the sort of chap
who is always looking around for snap;
Who neglects his work to regard the clock,
Who never misses chance to knock.
He is grouchy and slow when work begins,
When it's time to quit, he jokes and grins
He's always as busy as busy can be,
When he thinks the boss is around to see
He believes that "pull" is the only way
By which he can ever draw bigger pay;
And he sulks and grows when he sees his plan
Unset by the "push" of another man.
He's nthe job when he draws his pay,
That done, he soldiers his time away;
While the men who tackle their jobs with vim
Keep pushing and climbing ahead of him.
For the man who fails has himself to blame,
If he wastes his chances and misses his aim;
He'd win, if he'd use his hands and wits,
The man who fails is the man who quits.

SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland

Consider the comedy of the sum-
mer hotel, my daughter, for it is bet
ter than refined vaudeville and more
spicy than roof garden revue.
Behold the young man arriveth on
Monday. The damsels take notice,
but are not excited.
His motor car arriveth on Wednes-
day. The damsels are WILD tc meet
him!
The nice-looking youth cometh,
towing matron beside him. The
damsels yawn nightly, saying, "Oh,
fudgew
The clerk ,keere.h them, saying
go to 1t is only his sister" The
damsels grasp their powder puffs and
depart in search of their curling
tongs.
The tennis champion appeareth, wear
ing white flannels. A poodle that
hath just been washed were not more
dazzling. The damsels whisper
among themselves, saying, "Oh, how
fascinatingw
The clerk dasheth their hopes, say
ing, HE is married" And when next
he approached them the damsels are
exceeding bored.
One bellboy cometh and another
goeth, and always after the Satur-
day tipl &
One waiter departeth and another
appeareth in his place, and to remem-
Der their names leadeth unto brain
flag,
One man cometh and another goeth
but the Eligible Thing despaireth al
ways on the Monday morning train.
The college boy cometh, and his
ways are fresher than asparagus and
harder to endure than a new towel.
The seasoned bachelor cometh, and
his compliments are staler than last
years song and less convincing than
canned vegetables.
Sunburn shall pass away and
freckles be removed with lemon juice
but how shall the piazza bore be
pried away from his seat between the
beauty and the Titan widow?
The new damsel arriveth, and she
is fairer than a face powder adver-
tisement. Yet the other damsels shy
not, neither do they tremble. But
when the GRASS WIDOW appeareth
the piazza chairs are pulled away and
the hammers come forth from their
hiding places.
One week day is like unto another
week day. but Saturday arriveth and
the husband co1eth down and the CO.
quettish matron pulleth on her we'd
ding ring and stitch beside him.
erily, verify, the mysteries Of the
summer hotel are not all in the hash
neither is its spiciness confined to the
pudding, and the Chicken croquette'
is not its only bluff
Selah.

FEW WORDS FROM A BUSINESS MAN TO
BUSINESS MEN.
Charles r. Barrett.


The CITY editor of the Los Angeles Examiner sent a
reporter to interview the head of business firm which
is making great success with its trade in South America
China and India.
The reporter got three minutes of the mans time and
column story
Into that three minutes and that column crowded
good deal of worthwhile information and sound advice
The soundest of the advice was this WHEN THERE
is A BIG Using TO GO AFTER AND YOU CAN'T
co YOURSELF, SEND A BETTER MAN"
One of the great mistakes of business is trying to
money Trying to make a cheap do good mans
job.
Many a sale has been lost; many profit has been
thrown away because the sent to do the job wasn't
as big as the job required.
In the ordinary walks of life you hire man to do
something because of one of two Either you
do not want to do it yourself the do better
than you can.
The man you pay to cobbe your shoes is better shoe
maker than you are.
The man who paints your house is better painter.
The who drives your automobile is better driver
Why, then should you hire to do business for
you who knows less about it than you do?
This does not mean that young men should not be
taken IN and trained in your business That
sity But ore of New Yorks best known business men
coined for himself and his associates this advice: You
must suit the to the job not the job to the man."
The Los Angeles merchant right and he has proved
It by his success when he said "When there is big
thing to go after and you can't go yourself send better
man."

THE NEXT CENSUS
Work to Be Done by Soldiers Sailors
and Marines Wherever Possible.

Honorably discharged soldiers, sail
ors or marines will be employed as
far as possible by the government in
taking the 1920 census. The United
States civil service commission has
ISSUED the following call to the war
department:
Nearly 10000 persons will be en-
gagged in the work of collecting the
facts and figures about Uncle Sans
gigantic family after January .. 1920,
as that is the date set for beginning
the enumeration of the population of
the United States. In this project
nearly $4,000 workers win be engaged
in field work while the balance win
comprise the Washington office force
where the tabulation. classification
and statistical work will be done
from the information secured from
representatives of the census bureau
in the field. IA
In this, as In every other govern.
ment activity, soldiers, sailors and
marines win be given preference in
appointments. This is accomplished
by giving all service men preference
on the eligible list Of the civil service
register. The majority of the appoint
ments of the census bureau are gov
erned by the civil service rules and
regulations, and the civil service com
missioner announces an examination
for census bureau clerks on October
Is and November L.
This is made possible as result Of
the veteran preference bill recently
passed by Congress, which gives pre-
cedence in original appointments In
clerical and other positions in the
executive branch of the government
in the District of Columbia
and elsewhere to honorably dis
charged service men, or their widows,
and TO the wives of injured soldiers
sailors or marines who themselves
are not qualified, but whose wives are.
The office of the assistant to the
secretary of war has issued this hui
letin:
"EX-service men who desire such
appointments should make inquiry
at the local board of examiners of the
civil service in their city, where full
Information will be obtained. There
