HOW TO KEEP YOUR RESOLUTION.

n S the new year approaches. it might be well fCI
folks to take stock of the resolutions they made
at the beginning of this year-Gand most Of them prob
ably will discover deficit
In most cases the books simply won't balance. IL
the average life resolutions broken far exceed resou
tons kept Resolution i, the most perishable flower
of human character. Its cultivation is the most diff
cult of enterprises.
It's easier to wink at ones faults than to fight them
off; to compromise rather than to insist on the strict
letter of the new year contract one makes with ones
self.
A man, making business agreement with another
demands strict Interpretation of every comma period
and semicolon. But he j, much easier with himself.
Conscience says: But you promised me faithfully
The man answers: oh WE'LL what's the differ
cnce2'-and breaks the contract with conscience.
The trouble is The average resolution is a sort Of
secret treaty. If resolutions were open covenants
openly arrived a.. more resolutions would be kept;
One man realized this. So whenever he decided
10 make resolution he told his wife about it. And
what his conscience could not compel him to do, pride
would not permit him to evade. He didn't want hi
wife to think him a weakling.
Others might copy his example

An appropriate answer to the question Senator
Edge yesterday put to Vice President Morrow. OF
the National Coal association, when lie wanted to
know why the coak operators could not organize
now to prevent coal shortages they did during
the war would have been to read to him the state
mcnt in the coal production report OF the Geolog'
ical Survey last week which called attention to the
fact that the mines now producing as much
coal as they dd during the war when zonipg, ter
minal pools and other devices of the Fuel admin
lstration were in effect. Coal production depends
upon transportation and transportation for some
time has been more nearly satisfactory than at any
time since long before this country entered the
war. But the Calder committee is doing its best
TO prevent congress and the public from finding
that out.

right after the call, but offerings were

SHIPPING BOARD is
TO BE CONTINUED
Story OF Movement Afoot TO Abolish
Body Is Ridiculed in Washington.
fRy GEORGE =. MANNING.)

Washington, Oct 25.-If there is
any movement afoot in Washington
or anywhere else to abolish the United
States Shipping Board, officials of
that governmental body who are most
concerned, profess to know absolutely
nothing about such a report. They rid
icule the story and say that there has
been no Indication from any source
whatever of such a contemplated step
on the part of congress or any other
agency.
Shipping Board officials point to the
fact that at the last session OF con-
gress an amendment to the original
act creating that body was passed, set
ting forth further duties of those con-
nected with the board in the handling
of the government ships and in the
efforts made to build up our merchant
marine. If it was contemplated to
scrap" the board, it was pointed out,
congress would not have wasted its
time in trying to perfect legislation for
the better and more economical con-
duct of its operations.
The government OF the United
States has already invested approxi-
mately $4,000, 100000 in ships now I'M
der operation by the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. In addition to this, Uncle
Sam has invested in what is known
as surplus maintenance under the con-
troll Of the Shipping Board probably
$4,000, 100000 more. The Shipping
Boards one aim at this particular time
is to do everything in its power to
build up the United States merchant
marine. Whether the ships under it's
within the next year or within the
next ten years does no concern the of
ficials at this juncture.
Acting under the law Of congress-"
said an official of the board today,
I'VE are endeavoring to build up a
trade on the seas between the United
States and those countries with whom
we have but comparatively little COM
mercial intercourse. If we can estab- |
Gsh new sea lanes through which |
trade between this country and other |
nations can be created and enhanced, |
we feel that we are doing our duty I'M
der the law which provides for the
of the u. S. Shipping
Board. Of course, if congress should |
see fit to provide that the ships being |
operated by the government, as we'll as |
the equipment now in the hands of the |
board should be disposed of within e |
certain period, there is nothing that |
we could do but submit. But the de- |
mand for an efficient merchant mar me |

WORKING BOYS GYM
CLASS Is STARTED
Y. M. c. A. Offers Athletic Courses
for Boys Two Evenings Each Week.

Yesterday evening at 6:15 the work
ing boys gym class met for the first
time this year with George Bryan
the boys secretary, in charge. There
were about a dozen boys in the class
and they all had "jim dandy good
time. Mr.. Bryan is very much in
terested in work of this kind and he
hopes that large number of working
boys in the city will get into this
class.
1t will be splendid opportunity for
a boy to get some systematic train
ing on the gym floor as well as TO
enjoy such games as basketball and
indoor baseball If there is any boy
who will be interested in this work he
is urged TO see Mr. Bryan at the Y.
M. G. A. any time and get enrolled
for work.
The hour is set for 6:15 so as TO
give boy time to get from his gym
class to night school as several of the
boys in this class are in the Y. NJ. c.

with the fact that trade with the va
rious countries will have to be de-
veloped in one way or another, make
it very doubtful whether we will cease
to function within the very near fu-
ture"
1t was further pointed out in this
connection that under the Jones act
passed at the last session of congress.
the Shipping Board is empowered to
take control on January l, next. of
all government docks, warehouses and
other marine transportation facilities
not exempted by special orders of the
president of the United States. Within
the last few days the president issued
an executive order exempting certain
piers at Hoboken, N. J., owned by the
North German Lloyd and the Ham
burg American Steamship lines from
the control of the shipping board, but
this order it was declared. did not
mean that all control Of such equip
ment is to be taken out of the hands
of the shipping board.
The American people, it was said at
Shipping Board headquarters today, do
not care about the methods adopted to
bring about increased foreign com
merce with foreign countries, whether
it is carried in government owned
ships or under private operation. But
there is a demand, and the demand is
universal, that now is the time for this
country to step in and build up a mer-
chant marine that will be a credit to
the American flag

SHOWS ADVANCES
Hope of British Settlement Sends
Futures Climbing Strongly.

New York, Oct 25.-There was a
further advance in the cotton market
owing to reports of firmer spot sit

weather over the greater part of the
belt and the appearance of a more
active trading demand The latter was
accompanied by reports that domes-

feature late in the day was the rela-

Securing and Training Skilled Workers

All telephone employees are skilled

They are taught, trained and given practi-
cal experience by the Company.
The Company maintains schools to teach
and train new employees, paying them while
In the schools.
Telephone service can not be furnished
without this training and experience.
Prior to the war the Company had sufi-
Gent number of skilled workers.
Approximately two thousand Of our en-
ployees, most of them highly trained technical
expert workers, went into the army and as
ISOLATED war work.
Many others went into other enterprises.
Few returned to our service. Most of them
found employment In unregulated private
businesses whose profits are not restricted.
The Company lost their services when
most needed, and the time and money spent In
making them skilled workers.
When the property was returned TO the
Company on August |, 1919, after one year
of government possession and operation:.
Forces were depleted In numbers
The morale was upset; and
There was general mental unrest.
Immediate steps were taken to cure these
vital defects
Training schools were enlarged and addi-
tional schools established.
An organized, intensive canvass was made
throughout this, and other states. for addi-
tional workers
This cost money, time and effort.
1t was necessary undertaking, which has
become a permanent part of our organization.
A larger number of workers are employed
today than ever before. Applications for work
approximate normal times The schools are
full, but time Is required for training and ex-
perience
We maintained an adequate and efficient
force IN the past; we shall do so In the future.
The morale of an organization is even more
important than its number Efficient service
requires high morale among those who fur
nish it.
Many of our employees have spent their
lives In the service of the Company. They
