BUSINESS MEN WANT MUCH
Some Qualities That Applicant for 4
Job Had to Show in Char
acter Test.

A New Yorker who, for reasons OF
delicacy, must be nameless, was re-
Gently gratified with tempting offer
of employment.
The firm which sought his services
required from him a scientific char
acter reading by an expert. He was
referred to a local psycho-analyst re-
tanned by the concern.
The expert rated him high on latent
ability, but deficient in the essential
business qualities of "self-esteem and
selfishness."
He did not get the job, says Les
lies. Sorry" he was told, but your
character shows there isn't enough
iron In your makeup"
Ho, for the good old days when a
mean man was still an "ornery cuss"
and generosity was yet respectable.
Time was when a mans kindness rec
commended him for a job and gave
him reasonable hopes Of advancement.
Now, growing number Of employers
insist that his worth be weighed in
advance with a pair Of apothecary's
scales and gagged with machinist's
micrometer. And woe to him If the
acute psycho-detective discerns in him
a tendency to meekness or human
sympathy! He suffers the besetting
business vices Of mOdesty and unset
fishneSs!
How deeply, we wonder, have the
doctrines of these latter-day prophets
penetrated the collective BUSINESS
mind of the country at large! Must the
model citizen who listens dutifully on
a Sunday morning to sermon on the
brotherhood of man hurry home to
learned treatise on how to despise his
nelghbOr?

patrons to see that to spend money
and time in making an inviting
and cheerful school is one of the
best investments possible, not
only to insure higher degree Of
success in their own work
through the inspiration to attain
reasonable degree of education
that pleasant surroundings give
to children, even more than to
older people, but they also render
an inestimable service to the
community by means of the ex-
ample set by the school and the
lessons given to the children in
cleanliness and other virtues
which constitute effective preven-
tives of fire.
In relation to the suggestion
for a general cleanup of the rural
schools during the early fall, it is
suggested that this work be done
on Monday, October 10, National
Fire Prevention Day, as set by
the President of the United
States, and on which day the
Maryland Fire Prevention Com
mittee has planned for demon
strations and cleanup movements
in every city and town of the
State. The residents of the towns
and surrounding territory are,
therefore, urged to gather at their
respective school locations on
that day and aid in not only clean
ing the school buildings of all
rubbish that tends to present a
fire danger, but to remove all
grass. underground and leaves
from around the school struct-
ures.

OrioIn of the Guinea.

coined unit Of barter in England
known as the guinea" which is ah-

Now, the pound Is 20 shillings and the

Frost Service For
Fruit Growers
Possibility

Inauguration of frost service
for fruit and berry growers Of the
Willamette Valley, similar to that
furnished during the spring frost
months to the fruit men of the
Rogue River valley and other
fruit sections Of the Pacific coast,
is being considered by the govern
ment and the service may be Of
fered for the first time next year,
according to F. D. Young, meteor
ologist in charge of the federal
frost service in Oregon, Washing
ton and California.
Mr.. Young was in Salem Sat-
urday investigating the need and
feasibility of establishing the
service here. He said that the
establishment of the service to
cover this section of the state
would depend to a great extent
upon the interest in such a serv-
ice shown by the fruitmen. If the
growers evidence a desire for the
service and show that they will
make use of the service by equip
ping themselves to "fire" smudge
pots when warnings of impending
frosts are given and thereby pro-
tect the fruit, Mr. Young said the
service would likely be tried out
here.
The service consists of careful
survey of the district covered to
determine the temperatures at
which frost damage occurs, and
to furnish growers with warn
ings when such temperatures are
in prospect. The service in this
district would probably extend
from about the first Of April tc
the middle of May each year.
Previous to his appointment as
director of the frost service on the
Pacific Coast recently, Mr.. Young
was frost service expert In the
Rogue River Valley, where the
service has been in operation fol
several years.
"In the Rogue river valley prev
ious to the installation OF tht
! frost service said Mr.. Young
1.-The growers used to fire" wheI
the temperature fell to 32 de-
grees. AS the result of our sur
vey it was determined that the
fruit was-not damaged by tenn
peratures above 27 or 2S degrees
and the growers were saved thous-
ands of dollars annually by tht
elimination of unnecessary fir
ing"
Fruit growers generally. ac
cording to Mr.. Young, do no
realize the damage done by from
in many cases. Damage to crop
is often attributed to other cause
when frosts are responsible, h'
says. Lack of proper polinization
