NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
IN THE OFFICE.

THERE Is no better way to waste
l. your time than to work in an
office where there Is friction between
the employees.
The root Of the evil Is generally
poor organization. If you are given
orders by someone whom you do not
recognize as your superior, you are
likely to get huffy. You don't carry
out the orders as you should. The
work of the Office suffers.
Every office should have an under
standing as to the rating Of each en-
ployee If you give orders there must
be no mistake In your right. If you
take orders you should understand
that the person giving them has the
authority
If the office Is small it Is easy for
the head to give instructions on this
point If it is large it is better to
have a chart showing the exact posi-
tion Of each member of the force.
But there are other sources of fric-
ton. A habit of fault finding and criti-
cism is an excellent medium for fric-
ton. Don't fall into the habit Of
critlcising your superiors. 1t is a
schoolgirl trick. The entire atmos-
phere of an office can be poisoned by
it,
If you are working in an office that
is a hotbed of this sort Of thing, get
out of ii. You will do better to take
chance, even to accept a lower sal
airy, where the spirit of the employees
is friendly, and the whole Office force
works together. You will do better
work, stand more chance of promotion,
and your character will not suffer.

LYRICS OFLIFE
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
THE LITTLE GODS.

is MAN all error, God all truth2
L l sometimes wonder. Why does
God
Put noble hearts In coats uncouth
And silken raiment on a clod?
Rags for the innocent to wear
And for the jade the satin shawl
/ see such error everywhere
/ sometimes wonder, after all.
And yet l do not wonder long:
This topsy-turvy is not His
The world of right, the world Of wrong,
The same today and ever Is.
If sin wears satin, virtue rags,
'Tis not Gods fault-it Is because
We sit upon our money-bags
And dare to change Gods very laws.
Our little time we play the lord,
Forgetting God, ourselves are gods,
And virtue punish, sin reward,
While judgment slumbers, justice
mods.
And then some day a mighty hand
Shall sweep us from our stolen
throne
No little gods shall rule the land,
But God shall rule, and men atone.
The little gods are many--lust,
Extravaganza and idleness,
And greed that bathes itself i'm dust,
And fiippant speech, immodest dress ;
The little gods shall rule awhile
Their little women, little men,
And then the Only God will smile
And set the world to rights again.

i playing cards-if you know and
follow one, you will be successful in
playing the game for which those rules
apply; but, you won't, unless you
follow the other set of rules, be at all
sure of finding partners to play with.
For most Of us can forgive indiffer-
ent playing better than we can forgive
the inconsiderate or ill-bred player, no
matter how skillful he or she may be
at tthe game.
SO bear this in mind if you wish
to be the popular card-player. Unless
someone has requested you to give
instructions in the game and asked
you for criticism, avoid the post
mortem. After the game is over do
not turn to your partner and say /:
"Why didn't you return my lead In
the fourth hand round?" or Didn't
you see by my discard that l was
strong In clubs? Why didn't you play
them?" The answer to these ques-
tions usually is that the player didnt t
play the game as well as might be,
but most players don't like to be
forced to admit it. Nor do they like
to start an argument by asserting that
what they did play was better SO make
up your mind that when a hand is
played, 1t is played. Don't bore those
who are playing with you by telling
them what a remarkable hand you had
after the hand is played. If they have
been watching the cards, they have
seen that 1t was remarkable, but, any
way, they won't be interested in hear
ing about it afterwards.
Don't complain of your bad luck.
When you do that the inference al
ways is that you ascribe your poor sue
cess to your cards and your OPP
ponents success merely to his good
luck and not to his good playing. Yet
there are persons who always, unless
winning, assure us that they are hav-
ing all the bad hands and that they
play very much better when the cards
favor them.
And here Is an important don't"
Don't sulk If you don't win. If you
are one Of those persons who cannot
enjoy a game without winning, you
ought to put yourself on the list Of
those who do not play, for, somehow,
when you show that you are not a
good loser, you reveal something in
your character that no one can ad-
mire. There is nothing so indicative
Of the truly well-bred person, as the
ability to take defeat, whether in cards
or in the affairs Of business and social
activity. The poor loser we always
put down as being no thoroughbred.
If you do not play a game fairly
well, do not accept an invitation to
play with others who probably play
better. If you see that you will be
comforting a kindness by playing
when, perhaps, they need you to make
up game, tell them quite frankly
that you play indifferently. If, after
you have made this announcement, you
are severely criticized by one of the
players for some mistake I'm the cards,
you are quite justified i'm withdrawing
from the game, quite amicably, of
course, after you have played several
hands around. You should not make
1t appear that you have been offended,
but may conveniently seek some ex-
cuse for dropping out.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

custom prevalent among
Roman builders, that is precise

In ancient Rome wOrkmen fire.
quently took short cuts and
skimped their labors, it being a
common practice for marble
workers to apply a piece of wax
to a Clipped part of the stone
in order to conceal the defect
made by too hasty or too care
less stroke. When the sun
melted the wax, the defect in
the statue or column or pedestal
would be at once apparent.
Meanwhile, however, the laborer
had been paid and the purchaser
would find himself with a dam
aged article on his hands.
In time, the words "sine

appear in building agreements,
thus stipulating that the work
would be carried out by skilled
workmen and completed without
the use of camouflage. Gradu-

free from defects, who were
genuine and who might be
safely trusted. In English,
therefore, all that Is expressed

REV. f. C. PRETTYMAN
REPLIES TO Mr.. BAYARD
So Does Wayne B. Wheeler, the
National Counsel for the
Dry Forces.

Rev Il. c. Pfettyman, district super
intendent of the Anti Saloon League. to-
day issued a statement In reply TO the
letter sent him n few days ago by
Thomas +. Bayard, Democratic nominee
for mayor. Mr.. Bayard's letter was in
reply to one written him by Mr.. Pretty
man. Wayne b. Wheeler. national
counsel for the Anti-Saloon League,
also issued statement on Mr.. Bayard
letter. Mr.. Prettyman's letter follows
l reafffrm: "Should this organization
succeed in having the volstead Law re-
pealed. anyone who should sell intoxi-
eating liquors for beverage purposes,
would be just as guilty OF a crime
against the fundamental law OF our
country as though the Volstead Act mas
not been repealed. the only difference
would be that there would be no law py
which these criminals could be punisheu.
They would be violating the isth
Amendment to. the Constitution, put
could not be punished for doing 80.
Mr.. Bayard says he does not see how
this is pertinent to the election OF
mayor in the city of Wilmington. me
voIstead Act confers upon the mayor
of a municipality the power, should ne
receive complaint that Intoxicating
liquors are manufactured. sold or trans
ported by anyone. to issue a warrant
for his arrest and have the party SO
violating the law brought before MIN
for examination. IL the mayor finds the
charge sustained by the evidence ne
can hind the accused over to the federai
grand Jury or place him in jail In ne-
fault of bail to await the action OF said
grand Jury. IL can easily be seen from
this that the attitude of a candidate Tor
mayor of the city of Wilmington on pro-
hibftion is of vital importance.
We reaffirm that the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment Is
irving to nullify the 18th Amendment
and since it has been done, it can be
done again.
Mr.. Bayard does not seein to be well
informed concerning the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment.
He said he has never seen his name on
their literature, or in their advertise
ments. nor does he seem to be well IN
formed as to their program. yet he
admits that he is a member of this
organization and wherever they have
held meetings or formed State organi-
cations they have used his name as a
nationally prominent member. And SC
long as he is a member, be becomes
a party TO their program.
In a letter to Mr.. Bayard / quoted
a statement made by the president oi
the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, where he said that once
this act (the volstead law) has beer
repealed the prohibition amendment
win be nuIlified since there viii be nd
/ law for its enforcement"
Mr. Bayard says that such a state
| naent is silly. because the 18th Amend
| rnent says Congress shall pass neces
/ sary legislation for its enforcement III
| SAYS this is mandatory. He quote
| from Section 9 of this Amendment whicl

CAPTAIN "COMES BACK"
S. M. Denny of Penn's Grove,
Retired Years Ago, Builds
New Boat.

Penn's Grove, N. j., May 27.-Captain
Samuel NJ Denny, nearly so years old,
and who retired three years ago after
seventy years on the river, has decided
to get back in the game. 1t is said that he
has owned and operated more boats on

by this weather-wrinkled master of river
craft. Captain Denny's latest craft is
having the finishing touches put ON it at
Lodges shipyard at Paulsboro. 1t is a
small river freighter, 100 feet long and
with a cargo capacity of $50 tons The
new boat is expected to take to the water
early in June. 1t will be named the
Samuel NJ Denny.
This new vessel will have an oil-burn-
ing engine, the first craft of such modern
construction among the score of boats,
from tugs to large freighters, that the old
captain has run on the river since he
became master of his first vessel in 1856.
No steamboat captain on the Della
ware is better known than Captain
Denny. For many years he was familiar
figure along the river wharves at Philadel-
phia when he ran his shad and freight
boats. Some of the boats which he has
owned and navigated include the tug
Annie Nj. Wood, his first craft after his
return from the war; Atlas, j. p. White,
James McFadden, Stella, Cynthia, all tug
boats. and the freighters Greenwich,
Bridgeton, Sara j. Fleming, Elizabeth
Vansciver, Endeavor, Poconoket, Ad-
miral, William Mumsen, Denny Brothers,
