SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT

BY F. A. WALKER

1t and none to keep it going.
All it requires is desire to make
people happy and a determination to
make the desire a working reality.
1t is strange thing that we seem
more willing always to spread the un-
pleasant news than the pleasant.
The rumor that Jack has lost his
job gets twice as prompt circulation
as the fact that Jill has received
promotion. l wonder why?
We can pass along so many help
full things. Encouragement Enthusi-
asm. Appreciation. sympathy. Ev-
eryone of them without penny of
cost, but so full of the profit of salts
faction, if We do 1t with a generous
spirit.
The parable of the two debtors has
always seemed TO me one of the most
vivid of the Illustrations by which
Jesus taught his great truths. You
will find the story in the latter part
of the eighteenth chapter of St.
Matthew.
The trouble with the servant of the
king was that he did not pass along
to the man who owed him the char
liable treatment which his master had
shown in forgiving him the debt ne
owed.
If you have something good, some.
thing helpful, something that will make
another happier pass it along. 1t IS
a profitable proceeding.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
EQUAL PAY

THERE is one big issue to settle in
i the world of business and labor,
the issue of equal pay for equal work.
Evidences of injustice are found
everywhere. One woman held posi-
ton in college for which she was
paid 81 800 a year. She resigned be-
cause she needed a higher salary; a
man took the position. He gets sal
ary of 5000. The United States gov
ernment also pays women less than
men in many positions.
There are several reasons for this
state of affairs. The fact that women
were not voters is one Of them. That
will now cease to be deterrent.
Then, women do not insist on being
justly remunerated. Women are still
new In business. 1t is something of
a wonder to them that they are con-
sidered worth q salary at all. They ac-
cept what is offered, and make no
kick when 1t is less than their brother
gets for a similar position.
Then, unfortunately, women often
do not give as good an account of
themselves as men. Many women do
as well as men, a few do better, but
many do not do a, well. 1t is these
who make it possible to exploit the
rest.
1t lies with women, finally, as to
whether or not they shall receive equal
pay. 1t should be demanded by every
woman. Also, the inning of women
for earning living must be improved.

tered.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
~AssAssIN."

TN 1890 there was founded in
i Asia a secret society known
as the "Fedavis" or Devoted
Ones" the members of which
were pledged to implicit blind
obedience to the orders Of their
superiors, no matter what di-
rection these orders might take.
Hassan ben Sabbah, the Per-
sian, who founded the dreaded
order, was extremely explicit in
the rules he laid down for the
government of the organization,
which was partly religious and
partly secular in nature. The
members of the lower sections
of the society were kept in total
ignorance of the teachings and
aims of the body to which they
belonged, and it was impressed
upon them that unfailing obe-
dience was their only key to
success in this life and happi-
ness in the. next.
In order to give them a fore
taste of the joys which were In
store for them, provided they
followed instructions, Hassan
ben Sabbah directed that they
be given q specified ration OF
hashish, or hemp-n narcotic
which produced effects an
alogous to those resulting from
the use of opium-and from this
practice the members of the So
ciety became known as has
hashin or hemp-eaters. Euro
peans slightly altered the word
to assassin" and applied 1t to
anyone guilty of murder, this
crime being a favorite among
the Fedavis.
