Human Kindness in Business
[From the Transmitter.l

Risking the danger of being
classed with the sentimental sisters
and oily-voiced brothers who talk
tiringly of sunshine and joy, and pat
you on the back while doing it, we
are going to. use our back cover
space this month to remind you
again that there is human kindness
in business and warm, red, human
blood in the veins of corporation
people.
A case in point. A charity worker
appealed for aid in behalf of the
family of a former employe who
died several years ago. Although the
company had already done its full
share, several officials contributed to
a fund and allowed a notice of the
facts in the case to be given to the
employees in the department and
division in which the deceased work
ed. There was no demand or ap-
peal. merely a statement of the facts
and a paragraph to the effect that
if anybody felt like contributing ten
cents or a quarter it would be re-
ceived and forwarded.
Did they respond? They did
and right onbly. Is there human
kindness in business? It's our guess
that there is, at least, in the busi-
ness conducted by the c. and P.
Again: An employees child had
to be taken to the hospital at once.
The mans boss was in an important
conference at the time, but as soon
as he heard of it he said: Let me
run over there in my car and get
him." And he did.
Here's another case of which we
Just heard. Somewhere in a nearby
state is a former telephone man,

telephone official who calls on that

The HoodOO That Won
[From the Erie Dispatch. ]


In the general chorus of praise for
the famous seaplane NC-4, first air
craft to cross the Atlantic, most
people have overlooked or forgotten
the fact that the NC-4 was a hoo
doc ship"
The New York recalls the strik-
ing series of mishaps that gave her
that evil reputation. She had sc
much difficulty in getting her full
complement of machinery that she
had no time for the desired test
flights. She was nearly destroyed
by fire before leaving Rockaway or
the first lap of her journey. AT
the very start, her engineer had his
right hand cut off by propeller. On
the first LEG" she was forced down
by engine trouble off Cape Cod
Trailing after her sister planes, she
was held up by bad weather at
Chatham, Mass, and at Halifax. She
was so slow in arriving at Trepasses
that the NC-1 and NC-3 had already
started, though they were obliged
that time to turn back.
And yet the "hoodoo ship" was
the only one that reached the Azores
in good condition, and went on to
Portugal and England, finishing heI
pioneer trip in a blaze of glory.
It is often so with reputed hoo
docs, whether in aviation or naviga-
ton or business life or anywhere
else. Many man who has been
known as a veritable hoodoo has
made good at length-precisely. be,
cause he refused to believe himself
dogged by inevitable bad luck. Such
cases are little noticed because wher
the failure becomes a success 1t Is
so easily forgotten that he was ever
considered a failure.
The logical conclusion seems to be
that "hoodoos" are generally psyche
logical. They exist only when the
people most concerned think they
exist. Lieutenant Read and his crew
fatty refused to consider their craft
a hoodoo, and therefore she turned
out a winner.

The Suffrage Amendment
tFrom the Kansas City star.l

tFrom the Kansas City Star.1
The triumph of the suffrage
amendment in the Senate yesterday
does not give the women of the
United States the ballot. The states
must ratify the action before The
victory is complete. But the adop-
ton of the amendment in the Sem
ate, following it's adoption in the
House, is the prize for which the
women Of the country have fought
for fifty years. 1t places the seal of
national approval upon the move
ment. 1t brings the goal of final
victory in sight and hastens the day
of universal suffrage in America.
Twenty eight states already have
granted women the right of suffrage,
either in full or in a limited meas
ure. 1t is practically. certain that
no state in which the women exer-
else any degree of suffrage will re-
fuse to ratify the amendment. With
the women voting either for state or
national tickets the politicians will
be slow to refuse further recognition
to them. For the ratification of the
amendment only eight states are
needed in addition to the twenty
eight now granting suffrage, and the
action of Congress in adopting the
amendment will add great weight in
swinging the other states into line
for it's ratification.
The opponents of women suffrage
had as we'll hang their harps upon
the willows. 1t requires no pro-
phetic vision to understand the
meaning of the vote in. the Senate
yesterday.

all the pride of home ownership. :.
And that is the pride that's felt
by the thousand owners OF the
homes of city streets, or the little

It's the pride of proprietorship-
Hfe's happiness summed up In a

that awakens interest everywhere

youth looking providently to the
