Denver Employees
Pay Themselves
Take Out Wages Before Turn
ing in Fares

Denver, Colo, August 16-Nine
hundred men employed by the Denver
Tramway company have never receiv-
ed pay check or pay envelope from
the corporation although many Of
them have worked for it for years
They are their own paymasters.
The method by which the men are
paid is claimed by the officials of the
company to be in use nowhere else in
America. 1t has been in vogue here
for 80 years, however, and both Off
cials and employees are wel satisfied
with it. Thre times the men have
voted almost unanimously against any
shange in the system.
The 500 who enjoy the distinction
of warking for wages without receiv-
ing pay envelopes are mOtormen and
conductors and they simply pay them
selves at the end Of each days work
out OF the amount collected during
their time on duty. Before turning in
his receipts for the day, each conduc-
tor pays himself and his motorman
their wages. The conductors are aided
in making their calculations by cards
furnished them by the company which
shows the amount due the employee
for any number of hours and minutes.
The system has many advantages,
according to Frederick w. Hid, gen
eral manager of the company. 1t
makes the garniSheeing Of a mans
wages difficult. 1t also means that the
men always have money in their pock-
cts, according to Mr. Hid. The com
staff which would be impossible were
the men yaid weekly or bi-weekly by
check of pay envelope, says Mr.. Hid
who adds, however, that the company
loses about 800 per year in interest
it otherwise would receive on its pay
roll from the banks.

"A LEAGUE or APPRECIATION

A League of Appreciation has been
suggested by Franklin ,rIane as de-
sirable aGition to the many organiza-
tlons which the American public de-
lights 10 indulge.
The idea was not suggested to Mr..
Lane. apparently, by lacks in his own
experience, for ne says the public has
dealt kindly with him personally. But
he knows that the public man in gen
oral rcaps more criticism than praise,
and quotes as ar Example the words
OF n retiring mayor OF New York city
who said that for whatever he had
done well in public Office he had never
got word Of thanks, but for. what
ever he had done i'll, or was thought to
have done III, ne received no end OF
reproaches
So. Mr.. Lane asks. "Where is our
League OF Appreciation? The point
Is well taken. If tho public would bc
as generous with it's praises Of it's SER
wants as II Is ready with criticism, this
would be the greatest possible incentive
TO work for high character.
When fault is TO DO found, some
body raises the slogan. ,"Speak or
write to your congressman about IT,"
Why not keep rs well Informed of the
eaf st
successes. or the men in any branch
of public l!fe. and speak and write
generously Of these? Such apprecia
tiop would encourage better publio
service an dwould give more point 10

Salvation Army is Now Called

Industrial Homes See No More

abled Only

Chicago, August 16-Demand for
private rooms with sunshine and hot
and cold water, has suppianted that
for for a dime flop" among wayfar-
ing working men according to the OBJ
servations of the Salvation army.
Lieutenant Colonel Emil Marcus
son, head of the Industrial Department
of the Army for the states west of the
Mississippi said today:
THE day of the dormitory or, more
accurately, the flop house" has
passed. The kind of men who used
TO come to us, seeking free beds or
glad to get them for q dime, now ask
for private rooms. Since prohibition
became effective, / have closed several
of our, working mems hotels, including
one in Chicago and another in Kansas
City.
There is real need for good mod
ern hotels for men at reasonable prices
and those which we have are run
along such lines. Our Working Mems
Palace in Chicago has 571 beds. Three
years ago, we would have found ten or
twelve men in the Palace with bank
accounts. Last month there were 312
men in that hotel who carried bank
books.
AS for the Industrial homes, they
used to contain many young men who
ceased To be producers and who had
to be made over, sometimes by a long
and painstaking process, into good cit
iZens and wage earuers. Today there
is hardly an ablebodjed man in any
industrial home in the United States.
THE men who are there ar, nearly
all permanently disabled to some de-
gree, or they are convalescents from
hospitals who are unable to do an or
dinary days work. These men are
not only able to take care of them
selves but evn to save little from
their earnings
There Is room in every Industrial
home. The Chicago home is not half
full. That is why the Salvation Army
is able this year, through its home SER
vice program, to extend an offer of the
facilities of these homes to every
small community in the vest

China says one enthusiastic travel

The use OF public highways is so,
free and unrestricted that is is. not

There is freedom in sickness. Any

falls sick OF smallpox. typhus or
otheE infectious ailment, his friends
and nelghbors are at liberty to crowd
into the patients room by day and

spread the Infection.
A similar freedom is found even in
death. When man dies who has
