Ex-service men who have been
wondering why their compensation

Director in Charge of Finance of
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
in Washington, d. c. One is al
most prompted to believe he does,

Washington Doesn't Care.
With Bill Hart at The B. Will
Rogers at The Lyric and Buck
Jones at The Pastime, the dyed-in-
the-wool movie fan will be kept as

Eddy was q Conner in the Rail-
way Business with the Private Car
and Vas Sub Boss almost within
his grasp when Five Doctors ex-
amined him.
When Eddy came to, he was on
his way to California with a pretty
nurse, but Eddy was too sick. He
mended Some in the Balmy Cline
but not at the Ratio of his Ex-
penditures.

amined him Again.

Eddy had always been too busy
to read Upton Sinclair. SO he be-
lleved Everything he saw in the
Newspapers.
He turned to the Want Ads and
saw where a Great Future awaited
him in the Selling Game.
Eddy got the Job at Twelve Dol
lars a Week to start. and he started
Right Then.
Eddy sent in an Order the First
Day and the Boss tainted.
It was Midsummer and Busi-
ness was Punk. but Eddy was Too
Green to know 1t. so he kept on
Hitting the Ball.
Eddy's First Trip on the Road
was his Introduction to the Day
Coach, but he sold the Newsboy a
Clean Collar and called the Ride
Huge Success.
When he returned to the House
in Two Weeks, even the Boss said
II hadS been a Triumphant Tour,
and ordered the Bookkeeper to get
some Larger Pay Envelopes for
Eddy's Salary.
The other Boys stood around
and wondered nUW JHuNJ uih II,
never realizing that Eddy did it
by not standing around.
Eddy kept his Shoes shined and
his mind open for the Main Chance.
He delivered what he Sold and had
no Lost Motion making Adjust
ments.
He knew the Slow Payers were
Grit in the Bearings. so he Laid
Off. At the End of the First Year
Eddy got Honorable Mention.
( The Next Time the Boys were
called together Eddy was tied for
First Place.
After that His Name was en-
graved on the Topmost Rung.
The subject of Eddy's Speech at
the Annual Banquet was HAPPY
Is The Man Who Has Found His
Work." and Eddy was All Smiles.
