the preponderating Penrose majority in
the House. As for the Penrose people,
from their viewpoint, there was only
one of two things to do, choke it off
in committee or kick it to death pub
licly in the House. They chose the for
mer.
When, having passed the Senate, it
came over to the House the bill was re-
ferred to the committee on municipal
corporations and by it committed into
the hands of three astute gentlemen to
act as exccutioncrs. Being Penrosc ad-
hcrents, these gentlemen had about as
much love for the Wares and all their
works as could be represented by u
cipher.
Once in the hands of this subcommit-
tee, the Salus bill was apparently mum
bercd among the things that were. But
the Wares never lost sight of it. The
bill had been in committee five weeks,
and the suspicious silence OF the Ware
leaders should have been danger sig =
nal to their opponents. In canning the
Philadelphia Transit fund bill the Pen
rose people were playing directly into
the hands of the Ware leaders. The
bill might easily have been disposed of
in some other way.
Charter Out of Way
Thus it came about that the Salus bill
was apparently overlooked until last

THE PROBLEM OF GETTING COM
MISSION Statesmen TO STICK
A Happy Solution to a Perplexing
Problem

A T. THE tenth session of the new
the Glider Automobile Company was
present.
He explained methods of production
and answered a number of technical
questions. Then we had two sales dem
onstrations by some of the new fellows.
They were mighty interesting, espe-
cialy one in which one of the women
acted as saeswoman. She was clever
and tactful. and by skillful questions
eventually put the buyer in position
where he had to buy or go back on
what he had said.
They all appreciated it and ap-
plauded her good work.
Then Odd as district manager, told
the nine people that he would be ready
for them to start work in one week $
time; if necessary they could take two
weeks in which to make arrangements
to leave their present employers.
Songs were sung and jokes were
cracked. Duke spoke for about five
minutes. Odd told them that he hoped
the new and old statesmen and the sales
women would consider themselves one
big family. One of the old men-'Jim, p"
as a matter of fact-then said that ION
behalf of the older statesmen he well
coined the new members to the great
est little concern in the world, the
{ Glider Automobile Company"
There was emphatic applause at
that, of course.
When quiet was restored he went on
again:
"You are, of course, only pledged to
come here twice more for instruction.
but l would be glad to have you come
every evening if possible. During that
time Mr.. Doliber and I would like to
explain fully how we handle orders and
how we want reports made out and such
like"
Cheers were given Doliber and me
for the training we had given and al
together jolly evening was spent.
After the crowd dispersed Duke and
went to his room and had hot milk
and crackers.
"Well, Peter, I think our work is
done"
I was silent for a minute. ! had en-
joyed the work and entered into 1t with
so much enthusiasm that our quarters
in New York seemed like dream. Then
/ asked slowly:
SIS the general manager, Mr.. Brain
ard, satisfied that Doliber can carry on
the work of hiring and training men
and women to our-I mean your
plan?"
"Our is right, Peter" laughed Duke.
"Yes, he feels he'll do it."
"What does Feather say?" next
asked.
Feather? He's back at his old Job
