Wise Advice for Employees.

Keep,s if possible, your work done
far enough ahead so that you can afford
to take few days off it, because Of
a slight illness you need the rest that
will prevent it's becoming a serious
one. Gain among your fellows and
with your employer reputation for
steadiness and competence that will
insure your Job during lull in bust
ness which necessitates the laying of
Of part Of the force. Remember that
while it is important to save money
IT. is equally important to save energy
and capacity, both Of which have Il
money value. Dissipation, careless
living, inattention to your work, all
cut down your factor Of safety, and
make it more difficult for you to
weather storm.--John Blake, in Chi:
cago Daily News.

TRUTH ABOUT AVERAGE MAN
Not Bad Fellow At Heart, and Really
Is at Least Entitled to
Toieration.

The average man is not a bad fellow
when you come to know him. You have
to make his acquaintance If you are
not to hold, yourself alo0f from this hu-
man, interdependent world, remarks a
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger. He
constitutes a majority. 1t is by his
vote that candidates are set up and
issues determined and business gov
erned and charities supported and
plays patronized. There is a great
deal Of money in pleasing the aver
age man. Moreover, the level Of his
tastes is rising. though pessimists re-
fuse to see it or to say so. He is ca
pable Of education and he has travelled
far since his training began.
He needn't always be given all that
he asks for; sometimes he makes mis-
takes, and sometimes he wants what
isn't good for him. Sometimes he
loses his head, and in an incendialy
or inebrate temper, loses that which
cooler judgment in calmer hour leads
him to worry for. But on the whole
he is strangely reasonable and patient
and SeIf-controlled. It is touching to
ti,.t; how often he Is doing the best
he can, according to the light he has.
He serves the world far better than
some eccentric and unconventional
1nortals who sneer ut him for following
q dull, Unconditional routine.
Leaders of men have learned to deal
with the average man, to talk his Ian
guage and to understand his ways.
They have taught the rank and ME
to discover a latent capacity ana TO
reveal a strength hidden and unsus'
pected. They have had faith in f'the
general good sense and honest inten'
tons of mankind" They have gen.
timely loved their fellows and their
sympathy has been real and manifest
Neither in war nor in peace Is VIC
tory to be won unless the captains put
their confidence in a host.

Of writing many notes there is no
end, apparently, in the Irish affair.
De Valera wants the proposed confer
nee with the British cabinet, hut he
wants it on his own terms-that the
Irish delegates enter it as representa-
tives of a sovereign state. From this
attitude he dare not back down, for
his own "oficial" status depends on
his firmness. Lloyd George is equal
ly intent in denying this demand, and
is fully supported by the cabinet,
whose members returned to Scotland
where the premier was somewhat I'M
der the weather at Gairloch. In n
of his latest notes De Valera suggested
that Britain and Ireland conclude a
treaty of accommodation and asso-
c~iation," expressing the belief that this
would end the dispute forever and en-
able the two nations to settle down in
peace.

The British official announcement.
several weeks ago, that the Moslem
revolt on the Malabar coast of India
had been suppressed was premature.
The trouble is about as acute as ever
the rebels control large districts and.
except where troops are stationed. the

not safe. The British authorities in
India have obtained a document call

The latest war to break out In this
peaceful world is between Albania and
Serbia, and the immediate objective is
possession of a zone twenty miles long
and eight deep. The Serb commander
on the frontier ordered the Albanians
to e~vacuate six towns in that territory,
and tw%enty-four hours later began
hostilities. Bishop San Noli, Albanian
delegate to the League of Nations, re-
ported the affair to that body, and
later it was secretly considered by the
council of the league. The Serb dele
gate was quoted as saying Serbia
would not permit the league to intrude
into the Albanian question; that the
supreme council of the allies must fix
the frontiers of Albania and thus Jugo-
slavia would be protected and guar
anteed by Great Britain and France.
Though the actual war in this case
may be comparatively triiing, the mat
ter is fraught with serious complica-
tons. Serbia, it is said, plans to cut
through to the Adriatic by way of
Tirana, splitting Albania in two, and
hopes eventually to absorb the north
ern half of that country. Greece is
credited with an ambition to grab the
lower half. Italy stands ready to
seize the naval base and port of Va
Iona, which would make the Adriatic
an Italian lake, and this is vigorously
opposed by Great Britain.
