TOO MUCM PROFANITY
So 49, ! !. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

TOO often cussing is taken as a
i matter of course. Men in high
positions are frequently expert in the
use Of profane words, and the iniiu-
ence of bad language has bad effect
on both the old and the young.
Much effort is being made 10 in
crease the use of better English, and
along with this propaganda IL would
be well TO preach considerable against
the use of bad language.
Directly cussing, unless the name of
the Master is taken in vain, may cause
no great damage. But indirectly IL does
much harm. When the little folk hear
their parents swearing, their respect
for their elders is either lessened or
else the youngsters begin using 1t
themselves as q matter of course. Not
fnfrequently we hear little Shavers-
hardly able 10 speak plainly, using
language which would put many men
and women TO shame
Pike county, Kentucky, recently
honored the memory of its oldest citi-
zen. Jesse Il. Osborne. Much was said
In praise of this departed citizen, who
crossed the bar at the age of ninety
two years, and no louder praise was
heard than of his reputation for never
having permitted a profane word TO
pass from his lips.
Judging from this event, one might
assume that profanity is the rule rather
than the exception. If this Is the case,
isn't it about time to call halt? The
old remedy, considered quite effective
for curing profane habits. was TO wash
the boys mouth with soap. But, from
our observation, we are inclined to be-
lieve that it would be unfair to use
such remedy TO stop youths from
cussing. The cause too frequently
rests with the parents who worry and
complain because their offspring are
devilish and almost beyond their con-
troll. A general mouth-washing Of the
elders probably would have greater
effect.
Profane language is not beautiful.
II does no good. 1t may be the step
ping stone TO lives of crime which end
in prison cells. For once the bars are
lowered against small wrongs. the big
ger wrongs are certain to be lurking
near and crawl into ones life.
Less profanity would add to the Joy
of the world.

Uncommon
Sense JOHN % i' BIAKI
MOST MEN LABELED

EXECUTIVES who make q serious
- study of choosing men for posi-
tions have little difficulty in doing so.
Most men are labeled. Whether
they know ii or not, their ability will
usually come out in a short CONVERSE
ton about the job they have applied
for.
Inability shows itself in the same
way.
The applicant may make every eff
fort to prove that he can hold Job,
but if he can't hold il an able choOser
of men will find it out before he is
hired.
The competent man may be shy; he
may lack the instinct of putting his
beet foot forward: he may be a poor
self-boOster. awkward in expression.
Yet the label is there, and the execu-
tive who has studied men can read 1t.
In the same way the competent
business man can tell the nature Of
the man he is about TO do business
with. He may judge by trick Of
facial expression, by a careless word
or hasty opinion. by a tendency TO
boast. or refusal to boast, but he
can tell.
Mistakes happen, Of course. But
they do not happen so often when the
direct method of judging men is en-
ployed, as when the method is in
direct
Many men of only average ability
can answer questiOnnaires. Few can
talk with "a shrewd prospective en-
pl0yer without disclosing to a very
large degree their un6tness for the
job.
Don't be afraid to wear your label.
1t is there anyway. II will be more
than you can manage to conceal II.
If il is a poor label, you can make
it. better. But you cannot make it bet
ter by any conversational fights that
are not backed up by solid ability.
1t may be that the American people
like to be humbugged, but the Ameri-
can employer cannot afford to be
bumbugged, and he seldom is.
If he is a bad judge of men, he is
able TO hire a good judge, and he
abides by that judges decisions.
You must stand or fall by the label
you wear. All you can do about 1t is
TO make that label as good as pos
sible, and by hard work TO exchange
It for a better one just as soon as pos
sible.
And the very best label is the way
you do your work, not the way that
you talk about il.

THE RIGHT THING

RIGHT TINE
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
WHEN VISITING

WHEN you are the visitor, you
Wv might think all your response
bilities would end, SO far as the
financial end of things is concerned.
For it is without doubt the duty or
privilege Of the host and hostess-it
depends on them which they consider
ito pay your expenses while you are
their guest. That is to say. besides pro-
viding you with board and lodging
they plan and pay for your entertain
ment.
However, there is nobody so often
sive as q stingy or selfish guest. The
attitude OF taking all and giving moth
ing is one that everybody, and perhaps
guests more than anybody else, should
avoid Though. of course, you accept
the gift of hospitality from your host
and hostess in accepting their invita-
ton, don't he greedy about il.
For one thing. If you make a long
visit, by all means suggest some sort
of treat" or your own. You may in
vite your hostess. if you are woman,
or your host and hostess. if you are
ficious about it. Don't upset their
plans And be careful not To do Il in
such a way that you viii seem to be
planning diversion because you are
bored with their plans. But in Il tact
full way invite them to be your guests
for enc afternoon or evening.
Then there is the matter of candy. II
is always a Thoughtful thing of the
guest TO keep the family supplied IN
candy-that is TO say, to keep them
supplied in Il limited way. If there
are children who are allowed to eat
candy. rs there are even in this en-
lightened day, give them box of
candy. Get box of your hostess
favOrite chocolates. And if there are
young girls in the family remember
that they, too, viii be delighted to re-
ceive some sweetmeats from you.

YOUNG WOMAN
IN DEATH CAR

Coroner Bullock. at the inquest
held last night on the death Of
George Taylor. Negro. highwayman
who was shot by Patrolman Nell
willie r. Apsley. Sunday night. as
he attempted for the second time
to hold up a taxicab along the
Causeway. declared that Attorney
General Townsend has frequently
pursued a course that has seriously
obstructed the administration OF the
CoroDer's office" and has failed TO
cooperate with the Coroner in the
investigation of cases coming before
the Coroner's jury" The remarks
were occasioned by the reputed
failure of the Attorney General to
turn over TO the Coroner the revolv-
err used by George Taylor, the Ne
gro. who was killed. Testimony
was offered at the inquest
that the negro had twice tried to fire
a S2-calibre revolver which he had
leveled at the head OF Harry e. Scott,
driver OF the taxicab. but that the
weapon had failed to explode.
The members of the jury asked
the coroner II he had the weapon
to offer as evidence. The coroner
stated that the weapon had not been
turned over to him by the Attorney
General, whom he understood had

Patrolmnn Apsley was asked II he
had the weapon with him and re-
piled that he had not. The officer
said that "he had been told to turn

end and had done So"
You had no business to turn the
revolver over to the AttorDey-Gen-
eral," Coroner Bullock stated. "It
should be here TO be offered in evil |
dence at this inquest" the coroner
added. It was here the coroner said |
that the Attorney-General had re-
peatedly failed to cooperate with
him, resulting in serious obstruction
10 the conduct OF his office.
Members OF the coroner's jury
voiced like opposition to the al
eged failure of the Attorney-General

ler.
The Jury commended Patrolman
Apsley for his action in shooting
he Negro as a fearless perform
lnce of his duty"

hat he did not wish to kill the
negro, but he had aimed to hit him
N the shoulder. The position of

for his fearlessness in the perform

Although the investigation is clos

cerned, Attorney General Townsend
II was said this morning, is still con-
sidering the case and may hand the
matter over to the grand jury Tor
further inquiry.
An additional fact brought to
light last night was that a young
woman under IS years OF age, was
in the taxicab.
The young woman, Rosalie Ham
mond, 10s East Fifth street, who
is said TO have been in the taxicao
with the policeman at the time OF
the shooting Of the Negro was
witness at the inquest last night. Her
evidence corroborated that of Scott
and Apsley.
The reason assigned for the pres
ence of the young woman in the tax
cab at that hour of the night and in
hat lonesome locality, is that she
was "a friend of the taxicab driver
md was simply out for a ride"
When the first attempt was made
o hold up the car and Scott hur-
'iedly secured an officer, the young
woman remained in the car with the
and was a witness TO the
hooting.

Before a large and interested
gathering including many who an
swered the call OF their alma mater,
the Wilmington High School football
squad went through one OF their best
practices held yet, at the Baynard
Stadium yesterday afternoon. To
show those along the side lines what
they can do, the Varsity scored 26
points against Assistant Coach Bob
Foulk's scrub aggregation, which
also accounted for touchdown.
At one time the Varsity scored a
touchdown in three minutes. using
three plays. Puss Milikin registered
two counters and johnson, who was
tried at half, kicked the two points
after touchdown.
But behind these scores stand two
stars who contributed nearly all the

them to score four times. They are
