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

You must keep in good physical con-
dition If you want success. You need
proper rest, enough sleep and healthful
food. You need exercise in the open
air. Keeping fit is part of the price
you must pay for success.
A number of girls regard an office as
a sort of matrimonial bureau. Their
first idea is to be fascinating TO the
male element. But If that Is what you
are after, don't say you want success
in your business, and don't be sur
prised If you see other girls who do
want success get advancement while
you stay put.
Success is big thing. The success
full woman is not afraid of losing her
job. She knows that her work is so
good that an employer will be lucky
to get her, or that. If she is In bust
ness for herself, she is SURE of results
But success Is not an accident.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"GUILLoTINE."

A CCORDING to history as II
"A is popularity accepted. the
instrument by which criminals
are automatically beheaded was
invented by Joseph Ignace Gull
lotine, who was also the first vic
tim of the machine. Outside of
the fact that Doctor Guillotine
neither invented the apparatus
nor persisted by it, the general
impression of the matter is fair
ly correct.
The original model for the
guillotine was constructed by a
German piano-maker named
Schmitt. under the direction of
Doctor Louis, a French surgeon,
who in turn obtained his idea
from the manaja, a somewhat
similar instrument which had
been used in the Latin countries
for centuries. At first, the in
vention was known as the
'LOuison," but, owing to the fact
that Doctor Guillotine waged
ceaseless warfare upon the bar
barities of the rack and the
wheel and continually urged the
adoption Of this more humane
method Of inflicting death penal
ty. his name was indelibly as
ISOLATED with it. On March 25,
1892. the national assembly
passed the resolution recon-
mending the use of the machine
In all French prisons and 1t was
publicly used a month later In
the beheading Of prisoner
named Pelissier.
Far from perishing by the in
vention, which, despite his pro-
tests, was called by his name,
Doctor Guillotine died In his
bed In 1S14-having achieved a
vicarious fame which he did not
desire and to which he was not
entitled.

DO YOU WANT SUCCESS?

no YOU want to make a success Of

that second to having a good
time? Don't complain If you can't
have both. The girl who runs around

1t well. Her mind is not clear, her body
Is not alert. She is tired.
Are you willing to do the uninterest-

job has its grind side. But to succeed
you must make that grind worth while
by doing it well. 1t is part Of the price

Thomas Riggs The cannon is displayed on the grounds near the governors office.
 A letter just received from Maj Gen. c. c. Williams, chief of ordinance gives the history of the trophy as fol, lows: .
 "Gun No. 1882 was one of the first shipped to Mehun ordnance shops in France by ordnance representatives ir the field. It was captured by the 11th infantry, fifth division, regula, army, in the Dun-Murveaux action o1 the Meuse-Agonne offensive. Col. R. C. Peck was in command of the regi- ment and the gun was captured near La Maisonette farm.
 "The capture of such places as Liny Devant, Dun, Fontaine and Murveaux by the American army laid the Ger man railroad lines open to American artillery fire and not only cut into the supplies being shipped to the left of the German lines but endangered the German armies holding lower Alsace.
 "Too much credit cannot be given to the 11th infantry of the regular fifth division, who from November 6 to November 8, took besides numerous prisoners, six pieces of artillery, three anti tank rifles, 150 machine guns, and vast quantities of ammunition and supplies. This gun is one of the six captured.
