TOYS of Past ACES.

The earliest toys of the ancients
which have been recovered and pre-
served are those of the Egyptians.
One of the most interesting of these
is the figure of what looks like a ram
crudely carved in stone, with six per-
fectly formed cloth sacks piled on its
back as load. The sacks are filled
with sand. The toy was found dur
ing an excavation by party sent out
by the Metropolitan Museum of Art at
Hukes-dair-el-Bahri. 1t is a relic Of
the Eleventh Dynasty, about 2160 B.
c. Another find, of the Twelfth
Dynasty, about 1873 b. c., consists Of
chree very crude dolls. All are Of
wood. fiat. thin and of the most SIM
pie design, merely suggesting the out

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
WOMEN IN BANKS
Ry JESSIE ROBERTS

TINE big banks and trust companies
i are beginning to put women into
important positions. And the girl just
out of college who is looking for a
job may find it well worth her while
to interview a banker as to getting a
start. She will have to begin at the
bottom, but she stands an excellent
chance to get well up to the top.
Take the case of a woman who has
recently been made assistant secre-
.tary TO the New York Trust company.
Her special work will be TO assist the
clients of the company to prepare their
personal budgets, and to advise mi
nors in the charge of the company
how best to manage their allowances.
There is a real opportunity for women
who are capable of it TO do very valu-
able and well-paid work in this line.
Another woman is employed by the
Guaranty Trust company in the ca
pacity of bond salesman. She is as yet
one of the very few women who are
making q success in this business, but
her opinion is that it is work wom-
en- can do well.
Any girl who has leaning toward
finance will be wise to specialize in
some good school. She is advised to
take a job in some financial house at
the same time that she is taking her
course at night school. Her job will
probably be a small one, but 1t win

Something to
Think about
THE JOB AND THE MAN
ByF. A. Walker
BYE. A. Walker

~ NE of the greatest troubles with
" the average man is that he does
not get excited frequently enough.
Excitement is only MULTIPLIED
ENTHUSIASM.
The man who lacks enthusiasm
doesn't get far, whatever road he trav-
els.
One of the chief faults of a snail is
that it never has the sensation of ex-
element
1t crawls along in a seemingly aim
less fashion, and having reached the
nowhere for which it was headed, it
stops to contemplate its effectiveness.
Nobody is ever interested in a snail,
and only the dullard copies him.
If you want to see enthusiasm and
excitement in animal life, watch an
ant. Everything interests him. Every
thing has a meaning for him. Every
thing he sees or feels is a matter of
investigation and study.
He is excited all the time and ac-
composites something every minute.

THE GLORY OF LABOR IS IT'S

THE GLORY OF LABOR IS IT'S
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
The real wages of work is the salts
faction of production.
The man who makes a machine Of
himself, who finds no interest and no
basis of enthusiasm in his daily task
is little better than the OK.
There IS no labor so mental and no
task so hard that ii has not in it II
reason for enthusiasm.
The scrub woman whose knees are
calIouSed and whose arms ache from
her lOwly labOrS may still find dis
tinct pleasure and an actual enthuSi-
assn when she sees the gliStening
cleanliness accomplished by her hands
The teamster can be enthusiastic
about his horses and his wagon. The
Office boy can get excited about the
rush of business where he is employed.
Everybody has some reason to get en-
thusiastic and excited about their
work. If they have no reason they
are either following the wrong vOca-
ton or they are looking on the world
and its doings with distorted vision.
If your present work doesn't en-
thuse you. if you cannot get excited
and happy about it, find something
else to do. Get another job. Find
something that will stir you up and
rouse your mind and hurry your fingers
and leave you, when the day is done,
anxious for tomorrow and the bigger
accomplishment that it will make pos
sible.

FOR PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.
Senator Johnson VIII Push Fight For
Federal Law to Govern IL.

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator John
son of California issued a statement
yesterday forcasting his intention of
pushing forwad his project for a Fed
eral Presidential primary law, but
recognizing the opposition to be met in
the effort.
''Progressivism has not passed. GER
tain Progressives have" Senator John
son said. THE limelight ProgTessives
who were more interested in office than
in policies have wanted their horrible
past fogotten. and have endeavored to
atone by out-regularing regularity. But
progressivism is yet enshrined in the
hearts of the people.
Reaction is on today. We witness
the assault all along the line upon the
direct primary. If this succeeds there is
little that exploiting privilege has 10
fear from public officials.
The bitter. concerted movement
against labor is the accompaniment Of
the endeavor TO take from all the voters
the right Of nominating their public ser
wants. To prevent the elimination OF the
direct primary and the destruction or
modification of that which has added TO
the common welfare is work ahead for
Progressives, and this work will be
cone by the rank and file without. and,
if necessary. in spite of, progressivisnl' s
leaders"
