5-Be prompt. Being fifteen min
utes late may seem d small matter TO
you but when you multiply it by a.
hundred girls who are fifteen min
utes late getting to work it loses a
lot of valuable time for an office. A
big business man told me not long ago
that he estimated it cost him ten
thousand dollars year tie have the
girls in his office powder their noses
every morning. Be on time in the
morning. but don't leave of an eve
ming until you have finished your job.
You may do a little work for which
you are not paid at the moment but
later on you will be rewarded with
interest.
6-Don't work with one eye on your
job and the other eye on the altar
Most girls never think it worth while
to go at their work seriously because
they are expecting to get married.
That is mistake. In these days hus-
bands are getting to be rarities, and
1t is by no means certain that every
young woman will get one. If she
doesn't she has lost out both ways.
Therefore, do your work as if you
were goinsto make a life Of it. Then,
if the man comes along, it is all right,
and if he doesn't come along, it is
also all right because you have some
thing interesting to do, and can pro-
vide your own bread and butter quite
to do.
Don't be a semi-inva1id. Don't
always be having headaches and
nerves, and telephoning down to the
office that you can't come because
you have this or that petty i'll. Keep
well, and strong and husky so you
are physically equal to your job. You
know very well that you can do this
If you want to, because most of the
tim e( when you wake up with a head
ache it's because you have eaten i'm
prudently or slept with the windows
closed, and you can generally trace
that tired feeling to having danced too
much the night before. Don't give up
every time you don't feel fit. Half
the time you can work off a trifling
aiIment.
| & s-Don't flirt and vamp in bust
ness hours.
Don't use the office telephone
for your own personal affairs and
don't permit your family or friends
to telephone you while you are at
work. Nothing SO exasperates bust
ness man as to have someone fail to
bet him on an important matter be-
cause Mamie or Sadie is cumming up
the wire spooning over it with her
beau. And don't gossip with your
chum while you are on duty. The
girl who has to be torn away from
telling Geraldine about what a per-
fectly grand time she had at the par
ty last night, and what she said. and
he said, every time a customer APP
years is never the girl who is slated
for promotion.
10-Learn self control. Check your
feelings in the cloak room when you
| arrive in the morning and don't take
them out again until you put on your
hat when you leave in the evening.
Don't be on the look out for Sights.
Don't fight and don't weep.
A cheerful. aniahle nerSOnalitV Is
one of the greatest assets that any
girl can have in business. and many
fault is overlooked in the one who
has the ability to get along peaceably
with her fellow workers.
These tips will point the way for
any girl to SUCCESS. - = 2

Judging by the pertinacity with
which the striking shopmen are fight
ing to regain the seniority rights lost
by going on strike, it might seem that
the forfeiture of some vastly import
ant right is concerned and the public
Bfobably has received the impression
that the forfeiture OF accumulated
pension privileges is involved, On
most, if not all railroads the seniority
rights and pension privileges are en-
tirely separate matters. Pension rights
depend upon the number of years of
service whether continuous or not
aeniorityg rights depend upon contin-
nous service. Aside from the injus-
tice involved in the violation of con-
tracts entered into by the railroads
with their present employees and the
punishment to these men for refusing
TO quit the service according to the
strike order, it appears that the issue
Involved is hardly worth consideration.
AS a matter of fact, the real issue is
control, not seniority 1t is the ques-
ton of whether or not the job still be-
longs to a man who refuses to work at
il, And this issue did not appear in
the mems demands at the time the
strike was called.

that has existed between Senator

been compromised. The colonel dis

Labor organizations at various
points are urging the American Fed
Grafton to call a general strike for the
purpose of forcing the railroads to ac-
cede to the demands of the shopmen.
They seem to overlook the fact that If
everybody stop work, the roads will
not need any shopmen. There will be
nothing to haul.

lngly lively. In support Of the charge
that the chief law Onicer had knowing
ly appointed unit persons to office the
case of william J. Burns, whom he

ton. was cited. Letters from Chief
Justice Taft written when he was
President and from George W. Wicker

general, strongly condemning the ac.
lions of Burns In the Oregon land
fraud cases, were read into the record.
Samuel Gompers' secretary testified
that he called the letters to the atten
ton Of Mr.. Daugherty before Burns
was appointed. Next day Senator
Johnson OF California took the stand
and testified that he recommended the
appointment of Burns and that ION a
question of veraclty between Wicker
sham and Burns, I'd take Burns" In
his own behalf Burns swore the Wick
ersham letter was "a tissue Of false
hoods" He said Gompers had hound
ed him ever since he caught the Nc.

ers, hearing the prisoners were about
