THE ROCKING CHAIR.

The rocking chair was an American
invention and it has always been a
peculiarly American. institution. II
was unknown in Europe until neal
the .close of the World War, when it
was introduced for the use Of conva.
lescents in American army hospitals
1t soon spread to the hospitals of the
allies and then among the civilian
population, and now the people are
said to be delighted with it and are
wondering how they got along with.
out it for SO long.
The war was a terrible thing but
We have not yet been convinced that
it was fought in vain. It had some
compensations at any rate, not the
least of which was the introduction
Of the American rocking chair to
millions who had never known it; and
for this one thing perhaps millions
who are yet unborn will some day
rise up and call US blessed-if not
US, the rocking chair.

OUR SLOVENLY SPEECH.

These directions came with a sani-
tary nursing bottle:
"When the baby is through with
the bottle it should be taken apart
and soaked in boiling water, washed
thoroughly and then put away in a
clean place."
This is absurd. Of course one knows
that it is the bottle, and not the baby,
that is to be taken apart and soaked
in boiling water, but our common
sense teaches US that rather than the
wording of the directions for using.
But we meet up with equally slov-
enly language in ordinary converse
tion every day. A great many people
who ought TO know better use wretch
ed grammar habitually, and the ten
dency in this direction seems to be
a minor offense. ..A:.> ...
It is just as easy t. be correct in
speech as it is to be 1Movenly. Then
why not be correct? Say what you
mean, even if you do not always mean
what you say.

More RELIGION NEEDED

New York, July ,1o.-President
Harding and se-President Coolidge
sent messages to the sixth worlds
Christian Endeaver convention, ex-
pressing the idea that the world needs
more religion to cure its ills.

that the world so greatly needs in

solution.
"These are days when we need tt
reinforce our ideas. We need tx
make them the realities Of every-da!
life. There is no surer method of &C
complishing this than through tn
recognition of our common brother

learned few, but now with the spread
of education and the diffusion OF
knowledge they are within the reaach
of all.
It is now generally recognized that
success consists in what one puts into
life rather than in what one gets out
of it. In other words, success is ser;
vice and service is success. The man
who renders the best service achieves
the greatest success, no matter what
his work or station.
And men have found, and are will
ing to share the secret with others,
that happiness lies in the kind of life
that. one lives rather than where one
lives. One may be just as happy in a
hut on a farm or in a cottage on a
back street in small town as in a
mansion in a great city. We find hap
piness with US, if we find it at all.
Happiness comes from what we our
selves do and think; not from what
others do or think.
These are the two great secrets of
life, and they are closely bound to-
gether: Happiness rarely if ever
comes until after success-the sue
cess Of f-servics. If we want to be hap
py we must first be of service.
There are other secrets of life, of
course, but these two are the great
est and the most sought after. And
they are also the most easily obtain
ed.

men ,firemen and switchmen in a

agreed that out of these conferences
would come the final decision as to
whether a general walkout Of rail
employees would materialize.
In the conference with the labor
board rested the possibility of the
big five" being persuaded to cancel
their order for a walkout, while in
the meetings of the eleven unions,
which actually started today, was to
be decided whether these organiza-
tions, holding the balance of man
power through numbering three
fourths of the nearly 100000 rail
workers in their membership, would
join the big five" If they walked
out October 80, as planned.

was suspended an elk's head, point
ing to the four corners of the hall.
The whole thing was decorated in
purple and white bunting. In each
end of the hall and focused on the
decoration, was suspended a loco

being shaded with purple SO as to
throw off a purple effect. The dec

Big Corporation Considers
Publicity Important Item

The Monitor" trade journal of
the Mountain States Telephone &
company, published by
employees of the company at Denver,
and one of the classiest trade
papers in existence, carries a very
unique story in the October number
wherein the heads of the various de-
partments of the big corporation are
interviewed by the author of the
story Betty Devine, who put this
question to the department heads:
why is yours the most important
department with the telephone COM
pany?"
The following department heads
were interviewed, and each gave a
comprehensive idea Of why he con
sidered his department the most
important:
j.. E. Macdonald. secretary and
treasurer.
Walter F. Brown. general traffic
manager.
Roderick Reid. general auditor.
N. o. Pierce, general plant manag
er.
H. E.. McAfee. general commercial
manager.
Elmer Brock. assistant genera
counsel.
Jack Greenawalt. manager of pub
licity.
Jack Greenawalt heads the publ
city for the big corporation and thi
is what Jack" says: This Is a.
age OF publicity. No business enter
prise can hope to win place in IN
public mind without enjoying som
method or methods of calling itsel
constantly to the attention of tn
public. II must tell the superio
merits of its wares, Of its policies
its ideals and OF the peculiar chaI
acter of its service. Unless that
done its business stagnates by reaso
OF public indifference.
