ARMY OFFICERS WANT
TO SHED UNIFORMS

"Now that the war is over, permit
us to wear civilian clothes again when
we are not on duty" is the plea of
several thousand officers of the army,
navy and marine corps in Washington
and elsewhere who are required to
wear their uniforms at all times.
The officers feel, since hostilities
have ceased, that there is no reason
why they should be required to wear
the uniform at all while on duty in
offices and other places away from
troops. The question was carried to
the White House, the Importance OF
any change being regarded as re-
quiring a decision from the Presi-
dent, but the verdict was reached not
to order any amendment to the rule
until peace is formally declared to
exist. Doubtless the President evil
IDENTIFY took the ground that a change
of this character in the meantime
would create the impression that
the war emergency had passed.

How to Control Others.
BY ROGER BABsON.

At the head of one department in
our business is a man who often
loses his temper. Ordinarily we
would not keep such a man. Temper
is the one thing no one can afford
to lose. When 1 get cross it always
hurts me more than it does anyone
else. 1t is the same with everyone.
If this foreman were not so very
good in other ways, we would not
keep him.. Unfortunately, red hair
pep. and hot temper usually go to-
gether. This red-headed fellow has
so much pep that we keep him even
though he does get cross oftener
than he should.
Most of the men and women in
my Office are afraid of this red
headed foreman. They simply fee
when he gets cross. Some start in
to argue with him and answer him
back. This only makes things
worse. They then both get more
and more irritated.
But there is a little girl in the
departmeRS~who neither runs away
nor answers back. Unconsciously
she Is real psychologist. She uses
Qne of the basic principles of leader
ship. She is a real executive. When
the foreman starts in to scold her
she simply changes the subject un-
til he gets cooled off. She gently
asks him some question, such as:
How is the weather Is it get
ting cooler?" or
How many are working here
now? Someone asked me the other
day and I could not tell; but 1 said
you would know"
Such questions always take the
forepan's mind off his troubles. AZ
ter he has answered the question, he
has forgotten what he was cross
about. The girl tells me that she
learned the trick from her mother,
who had seven children.
She had a wise mother!
Said she
When mother wanted my BROTH
ers to quit crying or quarreling
about something. she never told
them so. but would change their
thought by talking about something
else. I simply try the same plan

The urgent need not only for a
more careful but a more scientific
handling of government moneys
was demonstrated'.i in the years i'm
mediately preceding the world war.
During the war. while the whole
country was engaged in an orgy of
spending. this need was lost sight
of. 1t is more urgent now than
ever, and unless a change in policy
is effected. national bankruptcy
will be the alternative. We can
not go along throwing money about
carelessly in the future as we have
done in the past.
President Taft saw the way the
wind was blowing and appointed a
commission on efficiency and econ
omy to make suggestions for a
change. This commission reported,
but Congress, never in a mood to
listen to reform unless it has to.
needed no urging to ignore the re-
port.
The Democratic party at its con-
vention in 1912 pledged itself not
only to tariff reform, but to fiscal
economy. And after winning the
election the Democrats proceeded to
forget their economy pledge just
as any party would have done, and
as every party has done in the past.
when it is. to party interest to
forget.
From One to Twenty Billions.
Back in Mckinley's time we had
our first billion-dollar Congress.
The country was amazed. In Will
sons first term we had our first
.billion-dollar year, and we proceed

twenty-billion year. 1t will be i'm
possible to revert now, either to q
billion-dollar Congress. which ap-
propriated for two years, or to a
billion-dollar year, for the interest
on our war debt alone is greater
than a billion annually.
