YOUR WORK

RY LAZINESS, procrastination, or
~ by pretending to be stupider than
you are, you can get quite good deal
of your work done for you-for
while.
II the man above you is quick and
competent, he will frequently get so
dlsgusted with you that he will snatch
a Job out Of your hands, and do 1t him
self.
No competent executive will do that,
but you can count all the competent
executives Of your acquaintance on
the fingers of one hand.
II will save you good deal OF trou-
BILE to have the hard job taken away
from you. You can devote your time
to doing the easy jobs at your leisure,
and in your own way.
You will probably congratulate
yourself on having boss that is so
skillful-so much abler than you--that
he can do all the hard work.
But the congratulation will be short
lived. In about years time you will
discover that you can't do anything but
the easy jobs-which are the poorly
paid ones, because you never gave your
mind any exercise doing the hard ones.
All the opportunities for growth and
for progress were in those Jobs that
were taken out Of your hands. Maybe
the boss who took 'em away from you
didn't need the mental exercise, but
the point is that he got II, and you
didn't. BY letting him take 1t away
you got just as much out of the game
as a ball player would whose captain
played his position every time there
was critical stage in the game.
No matter what kind of work you
have, a time is coming when 1t Is going
to become suddenly difficult. The I'M
portance of certain task will increase
tremendously owing to unexpected cir.
cumstances.
That is the time rnat is going to take
your measure. If you tackle that
harder job and go through with 1t, the
chances are that you will do II well
It Is presumed that you have the train
ing.
If you stand aside and let the man
above you step in, you might as well
make up your mind that you are going
to work for the same or less wages fol
the rest OF your days.
For you have repudiated the chance
to grow. You have proved yourself
coward.
Some day we may write about th'
boss who deprives himself of compe
tent help by insisting on doing every
body's work for them. But today W.
are writing about you.
II you are In the habit Of standing
back and asking for assistance ever
time an unusually hard Job come
along, get out of 1t. You will becom
an assistance-asker all your life. As
sistance-askers sometimes get assist
ance, but they never get responsibility
or good pay, or respect, or anything
else that makes life worth the while.

GARAGE OWNERS
DISREGARD Law
Secretary Emmerson Says Cars
Brought in for Repairs Are
Not Registered.
INCREASING NUMBER or CARS
Legislature Finds II Difficult to Keep
Pace With Conditions - Bull
letins Would Assist In
Finding Stolen Autos.

Few public garages are complying
with the law requiring the registra-
tion of ali automobiles brought in for
storage or repairs, Secretary Of State
Emmerson Qllinois) declares.
The legislature. Secretary Emmer-
son asserted, is finding difficulty In
keeping pace with conditions brought
about by the increasing number of
automobiles and the garage registra-
ton law was passed as an intended
aid TO the recovery of stolen cars
twenty-five years ago, the secretary
pointed out, there were four automo-
biles In the United States. Today the
number is something like 10,5O0,OOO
Pass Mark Last Year.
"In Illinois," he said, "our hard
road system is predicated upon the ex-
pectation of continued prosperity for
the automobile trade. In 1917, when
the SG0,OOO0OO bond issue was adopt
ed, careful estimates were made of a
probable automotlye future. 1t was
estimated that the saturation point
would be 6OOOOO cars and that TINS
point would be reached in 1924. We
passed this mark last year and Will
exceed it by 100000 this year.
"Qf all the automobile laws the one
most generally ignored is that requir-
Ing garage owners to keep register
of the numbers of all automobiles
brought into the garage
"If II is a good law 1t should be OBJ
served and II 1t is not a good law II
should be repealed.
"The purpose Of the law was to as
slst In finding stolen automobiles.
II am required, under an act Of the
last general assembly. to issue week
ly bulletin, giving the numbers Of al
stolen automobiles which are reported
TO me by the police officers and sherins
in various sections Of the state. These
bulletins are sent to all police officers
and sheriffs and If each garage kept
register Of cars brought in for repairs
or storage II would greatly aid In find
ing the missing automobiles.
