 Steel Institute
By Associated Press

New York, May 26.-Elbert H. Gary. an his address as president of the American Iron and steel institute, in session at Hotel Commodore today, ladvocated that Congress take the l4ariff out of politics; that 1t play mo favorites in its tendency to rega- hate things; that 1t substitute sales Itax for the income tax; and that IL dorget the soldier bonus until the mation is less severely burdened fi- financially. As for the business future )of America, MT. Gary described him- self as still an optimist."
 In the iron and steel industry, he Isaid, "the profits are not satisfactory. but few. if any ought to be doing business at loss"
 "Pity the blind, deaf and foolish pessimist of the United States" hs advised members of the institution.
 The tariff question, he declared, should be delegated for investigation ro commission of well-paid, high minded, intelligent, competent and non- partisan appointees, authorized to ascertain and communicate the facts ana figures. Inelr reports Snould, be frequent, so, that if deemed neces- sary, a change in, or amendment to the tariff laws could be made at any time Congress is in session."
 Revision of tariff laws Is Ian inter , mittent disease' which "seems to be an important political question, though it ought not to be-" he as- serted.
 In plea for impartial govern
 
 taken, he insisted that all lines and departments of economic activity of similar importance should be sub- teeted to the same treatment.o

Most of "us girls" sometime or other have picked out 8 type of girl we'd love to be like.
 Maybe she's had blond or red hair; maybe her eyes have been blue, green, or speckied; maybe she was the most fashionable creature that 8 cameraman on Broadway could pos sibly snap. We have adored her.
 But 1t has not been for those things. It was because
 She had personality that reached out and engulfed you; made you watch her; made your heart greet hers in each little childlike catch of her breath, and. like small bandit, forced 1t to stop for beat or two sometimes quite painfully.
 Hers has been a humor that made you give up and luxuriate in the de- light of laughter, and hers an artis- try to select merry things every where: to turn even drab experiences into delectable reeitals and enter tainments of pure delight.
 Girls Always
 Her personality, unselfishly, did not seek the slightest thing from you, but gave and gave of itself elessly-flinging out it's charm to hii AhO WOAlu dS 6lotiOu6ty ds h PCA fumed, star-eyed magnolia blossom
 Such dispositions usually are daunt- less. They are unafraid. They know from somewhere that the queen can do no wrong and that what they may say or do is right. And you sit and adore. and feel to your fingertips what a clumsy and inconsequential being you are.
 70. love me too, you little thing you feel like saying. "If you do not. l will be sad And forgive me If l am not worth it-for all of us cannot be fairy souls like youp' And if the queen senses this, she does love you, too--and this sort of compensates you for myriad heart , aches that life brings along.
 Just such a beautiful, fairy-like girl found this week. I stumbled upon her by accident, and when I met her nobody needed to tell me a single reason why she has been a successful business woman of Bir- mingham.
 Failure Impossible
 It would be just as impossible for her not to succeed at anything she undertook as for @ bird not to sing its heart out on the topmost limb on day when the sun was yellow, the skies a floating mass of stately. snow-white ships. and the winds tossing the branches just enough to rock the baby birds to sleep.
 Just as nearly as ever I can shall tell you all about her.
 Her name Is Mrs. Myrtle Rayfield Milner. and while she has been In business only about four years and Is exceedingly young. her salary has always been almost twice as much as that made by other young women of her age. She could just about get job anywhere she sought It.
 However. she Is so exceedingly modest, 1t was difficult to get an interview with her at all She could think of so many more others more worth while than shei
 The reason for her success Is that she has given to her tasks every ounce of energy she possessed--and when she closed her books at night there was always the sigh that she could not have done better.
 For she has looked upon her work as small general-in-chie might, and attacked her problems and over come them to the degree that she Is one of the most level-headed, com n1on-sensed and dependable young women in this town. Her judgment

Is very excellent
 An expert bookkeeper. she has sue cessfully filled four kinds of jobs. Beginning her work with the Burnett Cigar people, she went then with the Haverty Furniture company, and later to E. E. Forbes. where she not only had charge of the books but did a great deal of special work for that organization.
 She has never made change ex- cept in the hope that she might be able to do better things and be of greater service.
 At Birmingham Trust
 Nowadays she is tucked away at the Birmingham Trust x Savings company--has just gone to work and she wants to rise and have real future there if she can earn 1t for herself. Her fingers confide this to the inanimate accounts she posts every day, and, like soldiers, she Is making these accounts stand to place that they may bear record that she does not slight even the weakest. smallest of them!
 Mrs. Milner has already done fine things as a young business woman. Still yesterday she said
 "Oh, you don't know how I do want to do really worthwhile thingsi When l was a little girl I think my most terrible yearning was to be one of those scintillant. pirouetting toe dancers who rides the pure white horse at circus:- and even yet the memory of those sensations gives me a thrill. But after I grew up and went to work, that ideal changed to a regular prayer and effort that my work might be done so well that would not be ashamed of it, and that If had to be judged by it after a while 1t could sort of bear witness that had not shirked

Each Days Work For you know that it's our daily work that must count for us after \ while, and we have only moment by moment to set our stakes. If we plant them carefully and right. they must lead us out eventually to big climax of soul and ideals. if nothing else.
 If they never bring us to world fame or high position, what weihave tried to do has made us better citi- zens of the world, and greater beings within ourselves For there Is no limit to the greatness we can accom- plish for our souls!"
 Mrs. Milner says that success is kindness, being accurate and pune tual, and becoming absorbed In the interest of your employer.
 She Is not the kind of business woman who wears a pencil behind her ear. dresses In manly garb. or affects business-like or bored ex- pression.
 She is just herself, and all girl. solicitous to help folks out with their problems. If you are ugly yourself. she keeps tryst with her soul and Is as dauntless1y sweet as though you were the one to be adored instead of her. If you are unkind, she did not notice 1t. If there Is work to do. she stays by 1t, sometimes so long that her shoulders droop and she becomes almost bit too tired. Mrs Mabel Ford Leake told me the latter
