The G. F. L. was mistaken.
And soon the "Reds" found out
that the organized idleness Of these

alarming consequences as those of
the proletarian strikes. Society had,
perhaps, more need of engineers

An Epiitaph
RIENDS have asked me to
n write an epitaph on the
IL Careless Employee.
The Carelnss En,nlo,,o.

The Careless Employee is
always with us, hence this epitaph
must be written while the subject
still lives, still walks in freedom
while the don't give-a- darn member
OF the organization is alive and yet
is as dead as yesterday-as dead as
the leaves on a painted canvas.
The Careless Employee has danced
down the ages with his blindfolded
eyes-has come up through centuries
and is to-day we'll developed prod
uct.
Goods marked incorrectly, tele-
phone calls answered impolitely,
bookkeepers making mistakes and
elevator boys being careless!
In industry there are $4,000 limbs
lost every year and this is six times
the number of amputations among
American soldiers during one year of
the war. Somebody is certainly
careless
would rather I've n henhouse
and be compelled to claw and paw
for position on the roosting pole
at night than have a careless en-
ployee in my organization and be
compelled to continue his or her
employment.
Mr.. Manager, have you given
thought to the idea of educating
and encouraging employees to be
more mindful, more thoughtful,
less careless?
AS managers we all know that
we cannot knock, kick or cuff CO.
operators into line. But we can
show them the way, and then. if
they refuse to 90 the wav. we can
read them out of the way with this
thought:
Carelessness is either disinterest
Of the heart or disqualification Of
the head.
Take your choice.
And now for the epitaph to pin
on the wall:
The human that is careless is as
impossible as mending a broken
bell; as impractical as to attempt
to satisfy hungry lion with a
club sandwich; as impotent as the
dead past, and as inefficient as a
safety razor at negro ball.-van

however, he is certain to find only

"HE situation Of the bourgeois
had become intolerable. One
must have lived at the be-
ginning Of the twentieth
century to realize the exact condi-
tions Of existence imposed upon the
middle classes.
One asks ones self to-day how
these unfortunate middle classes
could for so many years put up
with such painful lot--and one
understands why the sheep became
all at once enraged.
Toward 1925, he who said
"bourgeois" said "pariah"
The bourgeois paid all the taxes.
For him there was no "eight-hour
day.; he had to work like q convict
in order to carry on his business.
While innumerable social
laws protected the proletarian and
slowly transformed him into q privi-
legged citizen, an nristocrat, the
bourgeois, unprotected, knew all the
anxieties of the struggle for exist
cnce.
Property, dismantled by a thou
sand assaults, was, in the hands of
the bourgeois, but vague assign
ment. controlled by an ever more
socialized state. Incomes were
swallowed up by taxes resembling
actual contiscations; inheritances
were so heavily taxed that they had
for the heirs a purely sentimental
value.
The bourgeois, ground down, op-
pressed and, in addition, scoffed at,
occupied the last place in that
modern society that had been
created by his ancestors.
Let us, according to authentic
documents, retrace the picture Of
day of a bourgeois Of Paris at the
beginning of the twentieth century.

M made the task Of finding a
social equivalent for the sa-
loon one of the problems Of the
day. In this connection the follow
ing article by Robert Dell, for years
Paris correspondent Of "The Man
chester Guardian" published in
recent issue of that newspaper, is
Of interest. Mr.. Dell explains the
peculiarly French, or rather Cont
mental, institution Of the cafe, which
must not by any means be con-
fused with what Americans COM
monty understand by that name.
AS the article points out, the
French, or Continental, cafe has
nothing in common with the Eng
lish public house or American
saloon, but is the development Of
the old English coffee house, and,
largely speaking, the Continental
substitute for the present English
club. Mr.. Dell writes:
"Clubs are not popular in France
and probably never will be. Nearly
all Partisan clubs, even the most re-
spectacle, derive a great part of
their income from the organization
of gambling and are chiefly used by
the members who gamble-the other
members frequent them very little.
I have friends in Paris who belong to
two or three clubs and rarely enter
any of them. So generally is it ac-
cepted that clubs exist principally for
gambling that there is a tax of 40
per cent on club subscriptions, which
makes it impossible for any club to
exist without making money from
the gaming tables, unless, indeed. it
gets around the law. That can be
done, and is done in case that |
know, by forming an association to
which all members Of the club are
obliged to belong and making the as
sociation subscription several times
larger than that of the club. In the
case in point the subscription to the
association is 100 francs year and
that to the club only 20 francs, so
that the tax payable on each mem
Der is only eight francs a year,
whereas if the club had subscrip-
ton of 120 francs it would be 48
francs.
THE chief reason, no doubt, why
Frenchmen do not care for clubs is
that the cafe in French life takes
the place of the club for the great
majority of men. The French
bourgeolse who follow the strict
bourgeois tradition are more exclu-
slve than we are in their home life.
IN the sense that they open their
doors less readily to persons OUT iae
thelr own family, which includes
cousins to the seventh degree. This
IS not because they are inhospitable.
but because the home in France is a
sacred precinct which must be
guarded against intruders.. But. on
the other hand, Frenchmen find clubs
too exclusive and prefer the more
democratic institution of the cafe.
1T is quite a mistake to suppose
that Frenchmen as rule spend a
great deal of time in cafes. | know
many Frenchmen who never enter
them, and most men in France use
a cafe no more, perhaps rather less
than an Englishman uses his club.
Naturally, bachelors go to cafes
more than married men, and there
is small minority of men who al
most live in cafes, but the habit is
not generally approved. The typ
