ing The lead Of the Reds and White Sox,
naturally are favorable TO them, since
another game was Topped from the few
remaining 10 be played in either league,
with The leaders margins unaltered.
An important series opens in Chicago
today, with The White SoX opposed TO
the Yanks. Followers Of the game see
in this series The last hope Of the Yanks
10 reinstalc themselves as real factors
in the race.
George Sisler was Carl Mays oppo-
nent yesterday in the daily battle. The

intervention by Umpire Moriarity.
The Reds again came from behind,
beating The Braves. Eller being badly

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS
~ DOROTHY DIX
By DOROTHY DIX.
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRIT
CCopynsht 1873. syndictel

Mr. John Robert Gregg-the
man who put the extra short in
shorthand-was asked TO address
the graduating class of the secre-
tarial course OF the Central Y. W.
C. A. in New York. Wishing TO
give these girls some really help
full advice, Mr.. Gregg asked a
number OF business men with whom
he habitually lunches what he
should say.
IF you had a daughter in that
class, and she was just starting out
to make her way in the world, what
counsel would you give her" he
asked.
The first man said. Tell these
girls that the inherited housekeep-
ing instinct of woman for order
illness is infinitely valuable in
business. and to develop that TO its
highest power.
Believe me the feminine faculty
for remembering is just as valu-
able in an ONCE as IL is in the
home, and my own secretary adds
immensely to my comfort and eff
cheney by keeping my Office and
papers in apple pie order. and call
ing my attention to my appoint
ments."
The next man said, BE sure to
tell the girls to dress in a bust
nesslike manner. Tell them not to
wear peek-a-boo waists, and high
heeled shoes. and not to be ex-
travagant with paint and powder.
For a girl TO come to work in
a low necked gown with a camou-
fiaged complexion. and loaded down
with 5ewelry shows she lacks
judgment, and that her mind is on
having a good time instead OF get
ting on in her profession"
The Washington herald., 1919-06-23

Another man said. Tell them that
nothing is more important than
that they should give absolute
loyalty to their employers, and
keep close mouth about once
matters. 1t is because women chat
ter too much that many men are
afraid to have them in confidential
positions. Why, not long ago in
going down in an elevator / heard
a stenographer give away a really
vital piece of information concerns
ing big deal that her employer is
trying to put over. and she did Il
without any idea that she was
committing the unforsivable sin in
business"

Soon Uncle wiggily was at the hol-
low stump school. The old rat gentle

doors, but he waited until peetie
could run in and get his stick.
Then. just as the puppy dog was
