NEEDED.

Every once in a while some nation
produces a man who stands head and
shoulders above his fellows. Every
decade, America produces a financial
giant or an Industrial wizard, who, by
his impelling example forces the trend
Of the nations business in some GER
tain direction. Michigan today has
such a man.
By supplying one of the nations
wants and at a figure none but he
could set, he has built himself for
tune. BY setting a wage scale higher
than any other employer of men in
the country. he has built up an organ
ization which aids him in producing
results along the line he desires. Last,
but not least, by the efficient use of
the printed word, he has built himself
a reputation which has made of him
an authority along his particular line.
When federal probes and regula-
tons galore failed to bring down to
earth and the reach of the common
people, the necessities of life. he at
one fell swoop slashed off one-third
4the price of his product, and in so
doing declared that not his wage
earners but the machinery in his
plants. must stand the brunt of en-
deavor to keep the figures on his
ledger from being written in red. He
declares there is no longer any need
for war prices and proves it. Despite
the fact that he already has more
orders than he can fill he is cutting
his price and already not onIe the
manufacturers in his own line but
those in others and the great mer-
chants of the country are running to
cover, announcing similar cuts.
OF course, a decline in general
price was due. OF course. the cost
OF living had reached a peak and could
not stay at their former altitude much
longer. but this one man was the first
to announce the decline on his special
product. Maybe the others would
have made similar announcements. or
their own, later on, but would they
have made as large cuts as they were
forced to make when this one man
took matters in his own hands?
Such arbitrary and mandatory
action on the part Of one lone figure

Daily Talk
A BABY IN THE HOUSE.

I dined with two friends of mine
recently. They had a new little baby
in their home. And it WAS a home
because the baby was there.
1 watched the mother pet and fon-
die the tiny bundle of pink and gold.
She told me that she had no idea that
she would love it so. But told her
that that was why babies came-to
let mothers know HOW a baby could
be loved
Love really doesn't get a good start
until it has a baby to pat and pet.
With a baby in the house, every
thing takes upon itself new life and
change. Unselfishness breaks out and
a new meaning is given to happiness
For even when dark days come and
when the bottom seems to have fallen
out Of everything, If a baby's cry can
be heard, or baby's smile be seen

NOTHING TO LAUGH AT.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.


'Tain't nuthin' to laff at as can see;
II you'd ben stung by humble bee,
An your nose was swelled an it smarteo,
too,
You wouldn't want people to laff at you.
If YOU mad Il lump that wuz full Of fire
Like you'd been touched by red hot wire
An your nose spread ont like load Of hay
You wouldn't want strangers who come
To ask you to let EN- see the place
An laff at you right before your face.
what's funny about 1t, I'd like to know .
1t isn't d joke to be huFted SOL
An how wuz / ever on earth to tell
AT the pretty flower which 1 stopped to
smell
In our backyard wuz the very one
Which a bee wuz busily working on?
An JUS as I got my nose down there
He lifted his foot an kicked for fair
An he planted his stinger right into me,
But it's nothin' to laff at as l can see-
let out a yell an Nav came out
To see what the trouble was all about
She says from my shrek she wuz sure
Had been struck by a motor car passin' by
But when she found what the matter wuz
She LATED jus like ever body does
An she made me stand while she poked
To pull this turrible stfnger out.
An my Pa Isffed, too, when he looked at
me.
nv Nav put witch hazel on the spot
To take down the sweIlin' but it has not.
It seems TO git bigger as times go by
An I can't see good ont o this one eye
An it hurts clean down to my very toes
Whenever I've got to blow my nose.
An all 1 can say is when this gifts well
There amt any flowers AT III stoop 70

while you are taking your tub. You
will never regret it. Another nata-
torial marvel is She May Have Seen
Better Days ELG1E.
Sir-Memory, delving into the lu-
gubriouS or pre-jazz PERIOD brings
forth the following gem:
"a passing policeman
Found little child;
She walked beside him,
Dried her tears and smiled.
Said he to her kindly,
Now you must not cry,
] will find your mamma
For you by and by.
"At the station when he
Asked her for her name,
And she answered Jennie
Which made him exclaim:
Now of your mother
1 have found a trace,
Your little features
Bring back her sweet face.
You were but babe in arms
When your mother left me
Left me at home, deserted, alone,
And took you,
My child.
Away
Suggestion: mo Mother to Guide
! Her" D. NJ
Sir-Here's what I remember OF 1t.
I had been thinking about sending
it in:
''She may have seen better dnys
Once upon time;
She may have seen better days
Tho by the wayside she fell,
She may yet mend her ways;
Some poor old mother Is waiting for her
Who has seen better days"
That WAS one grand lyric. We used
to sing it down in Baltimore and put
in all of the barber-shop chords The
close harmony on the last two lines
was overpowering. r. T. B. .
The Hon. Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter met in New York Saturday,
and the public prints are illumined
with pictures of the fraternal greet
ing. But the contemptuous leer on
Hon. Dempsey's face indicates that he
still has his opinion of fellow work
man who will desert his mother in
time of war to fight in battle.
Another subscriber has complained
that the column is too long. We yield
temporarily to public opinion.

in our nations complex system of in
dustry, cannot but incur the enmity
of other lords of business. That this
one man has been the but of jokes
and bitter derisio1 for years; that he
has even been dragged into the mire
of political calumny, and that even his
own family has not been respected by
his enemies, only shows how strong
"a man he is, and what power he
wields.
His power has not been abused.
He has welded it for the common
good, refusing to align himself with
those who would mulct the purchaser
of every cent possible, and at the same
time underpay their employees as much
as they dare without harming their
own business. Socialists and Labor
ties have long abused capital as being
an oppressor. Here is one man, a mill
lionaire. one Of the country's greatest
capitalists. who has proven himself
a Socialist of the ultra type, a friend
of labor and a ruler in his domain
with human sympathy for the lowest
and no regard for the greedy oppres-
sor. All hail to the new era.

well. never mind. the sun has only hid
behind the cloud for little while!
Fortunate, indeed. are they who
have been blessed with the gift of a
baby.
Heaven is where babies are. And
God walks around in the hearts OF
those who have babies-or who love
them.
Responsibility in the world really
has its beginning behind the birth of
a babyi
The good in men and women crys-
talizes the moment a baby's eyes are
met. All evil is made good then. And
everything is glad. For what can with
stand the kicking of ten tiny toes?
A baby in the house makes every
difference in the World-for "of such
is the Kingdom Of Heaven!"

Dorothy Dix Talks
BY DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Wrieev.


Well, the first item in it perhaps is
cheertulness. Nobody loves a crouch,
or pines for the society of one. We
nave got sorrows of our own, and we
IKE 10 have people about US who turn
bright, brave face towards life in
stead of looking like the day of doom.
Maybe you have little enough to grin
over, sister, but try smiling at life
You will get better results.
II you have a dark and sulen ma
lure' and are given to dwelling on
your wrongs. take a course of liver
medicine. 1t will change your whole
outlook on humanity and the world
IN general. Morbidness is mostly liver
INSTEAD of sensitivenesS of soul, any
way. OF course, it requires real hero
orgies of self pity. It's like quitting
the dope habit, but it will pay in the
end.
After cheerfulness, the next item in
an agreeable personality is self con-
troll whose other name is amiability.
Don't regard every criticism of your
work as q. deadly insult. If you have
made mistake, apologize for it and
tell your boss that it shall not occur
again. Be big enough to accept sug-
gestions, and lust enough to permit
your employer to have his own work
done in his own way.
And If your superior IS sometimes
unjust in his fault-finding, make al
loWance for his nerves, and instead of
flaring up in a rage. say the kind word
that turns away wrath.
The third item in an agreeable per-
Sonallty is the lack of egotism. 1t is
self concett that makes people shy and
dlfrldent, and grumpy, and hard to get
along with. It's because YOU feel in
your secret soul that you haven't got
your just deserts in not being a mill
lionaireSs, with everybody kow-towing
to you and burning incense before you
that keeps you always on the lookout
to see if somebody else is preferred
before you in the office, and that fills
you with suspicion and envy, and spite
and all uncharitableness Cut that
out. Quit thinking about yourself.
Turn your mind on other people and
other interests. and you will find that
instead Of repulsing people, you will
/ draw them to you, and that somehow
your luck will change.
| The fourth and most important
thing in acquiring a pleasing person
atty. tho is just humanneSs. The fra
ternal spirit, the brotherhood and sis
Iterhood of man. Cultivate that Re
member to compliment for it the per-
son who does a piece of good work.
! say a word Of sympathy, or congratu-
llation to those about you when some
sorrow or joy comes to them. Help
some beginner with her work. Make
everyone who comes near you feel that
that somehow the world is a better
place because you live in 1t.
After all, when We analyze what we
call an agreeable personality, it is very
ing the golden rule put into action
treating others as we would like TO be
treated.
That IS why it makes such a hit
with US We like the results. no mat
ter how we practice it ourselves.

as he spoke, and his face white and
and rather stern.
Carol Terhune was very beautiful as
she looked at the man beside her. Her
hand touched his for a moment-just
the ghost of contact.
81 think I am the happiest woman
on EARTH" she whispered. If she had
anything further to say. it was lost
drowned by the beating of Roderick
Sears's heart against her own.
