HE is THE BEST MAN
WHO SERVES BEST

The flush times did more than make
money plentiful and business good.
Perhaps its worst effect was that it
made contemplate fools of tens Of
thousands of people who serve the
public, people who make their daily
bread serving the public.
The bank clerk, the street car con-
ductor,- the railroad ticket agent, the
waiter and a host of others that
might be named, are there to serve
people who are buying something
from them, or paying them money or,
indeed, lending them money. Yet the
instances are myriad where such ser
wants of the public treat the people
especially the mass of the people
with offensive impotence, disrespect
and very often brutality.
When, these days. there is rush at
ticket office window, at a particr-
lar sales counter, in street car, there
you will as often as not find peevish
attendant, talking snappishly or in
sultingly, refusing to explain intelli-
gently, or treating with scant cour-
tesy the very people who are waiting
to hand their good money over to him.
!. Can you beat it?
Where are their brains? Do they
not realize that the very presence Of
the crowds at their windows or theil
counters means business for theil
employer-that it means the salvation
of their own jobs? Can't they under
stand that the rush is such a gooc
thing for them personally that the!
ought to beam instead of scowl ovel
it?
1t is an old story that courtesy
brings trade. And row that the cas-.
days have gone and competition rule
again, the snappish server of the pub
lie probably wonders why he is out o
job while the man who was pleasan
and courteous through it all, is hang
ing on at the old stand.
Let not the snappish clerk think HI
he is even moral. Real service is tn
highest morality. We all serve
from the highest to the lowest. Lool
up his business or private life and yo'
will find that no man is so rich or 81
Independent that he doesn't serv
somebody. It is the way of hunanit.
yesterday and forever. He VIII
serves best is the best man. Conse
quently, those whose practice is +
serve pevishly and Extensively ar
cheap specimens Of mankind.
Don't forget that fact the next tim
you are treated like an insect at =
ticket office window.

Ellsworth Horney made a new
seasons record In the High schoo
Division Of the Turkey League being
conducted at the Y. M. c. A., when
he ran the three potato race in 14.4

BY virtue OF his victory in the po-
tato race. Harvey regained third

Backstein and Bardo are still
holding FIRST and second places re-

BALDWIN WORKERS
OPPOSE WAGE CUT

CHESTER, Pa, Dec. 14.-Sixty or
more men of the Eddystone plant of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works
threw down their tools and walked
out Of the plant yesterday rather
than accept another reduction in
wages. The shops affected were the
mold, wheel and boiler sections.
where skilled labor is employed, and
all were touched by the official
pruning knife, which has been ac-
tive for three months. While the
parings were comparatively small
there were men. who, checking up
the aggregate Of their lost earning
power, discovered they were short as
much as $3.50 a day.
The average worker makes about
two or three days a week, owing tc
the present condition of the plant.
Scores of men who have toiled at
the local industry for a number of
years have left the locality, while
others who made as much as 65
cents an hour during the war now
are acting. as railroad watchmen for
SIS a week.

Milan We appointed manager TO
act in McBride's absence. He made
a most remarkable showing Und r
his direction, the Washington club
won eleven straight games. That
run Of victories causes lot Of the
experts to consider the team pen
nant contender.
1t Is a rather unusual fact that
the day Mcbride returned the win
ming streak was broken.
Mcbride gave great promise in his
first year as a big Lacquer. However,
his health has been so shaken by
the injury that he has decided to re-
tire from active work, temporarily,
at least.
Milan, who never gave much
thought to managing a ball club,
now has such an ambition. This is
the way he put it to me one day.
"Yes, ! would like to get another
chance at managing a big league
club. l would like to see whether or
not winning those eleven straight

DEFIANCE NIINSTRELS
READY FOR CURTAIN

"The Carnival Fakers," which
adorns the Defiance minstrels' pro-
gram as Act III. should prove a
humdinger Of a number.
This comedy act should prove TO
be very amusing. as the cast Is COM
posed Of a trio OF Wilmington's we'll
known amateur funmaking expo
nents, which include Francis Zip"
Hanley, well-known ball player;
Ralph Raymond, Delaware's welter-
weight boxing champ. The third
member OF the cast is none other
than Johnny Molloy. one OF the Mol
10y brothers and one OF the leading
baritone vocalists OF the city. This
act should be filled with much
mirth making. as the entire trio pos
sesses the natural comedy talent.
The Diamond State Four also oc-
cupies a conspicuous number on the
program. This quartet, beside oblig-
ing with several vocal numbers, will
produce a sketch OF its own entitled
''The Bellhops' Haven.
Another feature that should ap-
peal TO the lovers OF vocal music
will be the singing OF "O'er the Bill
lowy Ocean," by James Reilly. Mr..
Reilly, one OF the leading bass solo
lists in the city.
The troupe held a rehearsal last
night and Director Sullivan issued
the final instructions for the show
When the troupe makes its initial
bow in the footlight circles of Will
mington on Friday night at the New
Century Club, it should by far ex-
ceed any other amateur perform
ance given in the city.

Mcbride, as was his custom, was
batting the ball to his infelders.
Another Washington player standing
nearby was hitting fly balls to the
outhelders.
In this connection I might say
that / have often wondered why so
few players are injured, while the
final practice Of the day Is engaged
in. Usually a half dozen balls are
being thrown about in reckless
manner.
Earl Smith, playing the outfleld.
after catching a fly ball, returned It
TO the plate. Smith has a good arm
and cut the ball loose. Instead Of
going to the player who was batting
the fly balls, it struck a rough spot,
took a freakish bound and hit Nc
Bride on the side OF the face.
The ball struck just below the eye
and to the side OF the nose. II in
fiicted a bad cut. and later paralyzed
that side Of the face. as well as
playing havoc with McBride's nerv-
Gus system. Mcbride was taken to a

shopping, great care should be
taken to avoid colds that are
