THE GIRL WHO IS IN
LOVE WITH HER BOSS

Don't think l am exagGerating one
bit when | say frankly that about
one out of every five girls in offices
today is in love with her boss This
is not sensational statement but
an actual fact.
Business girls aren't very confiden-
tial on this point as rule. but one
has merely to observe and to listen to
know the truth. And that is the
truth. There's too much of that sill
illness. girls. because the fact is you're
not in love with your boss at all.
You're just romanticizing a situation.
Because YOU and he work side by
side every day, six days a week, that
propinquity does create a certain
amount of good fellowship and
friendliness, particularly if he en-
courages it. And. before you know
tic and start to idealize the man And
you think you're in love with him.
He may be the wrong type of man
and encourage 1t. You cant be a
constant reader of newspaper col
umns today without realizing how
often this happens and how seriC us
the consequences can be
Its bigger than | am says one
girl. II didn't want to fall in love
with him, but it just happened"
Shucks-just because you work
side by side with man, and be-
hours day constantly at his best
before business associates, or at
tempting to be at his best, you are
impressed with him. The chances
are YOU don't or can't know the man
at all
OF course, 1t is difficult to gen.
eralize about particular situations of
this kind. but | think ! am safe in
saying that a great many girls read
meanings into remarks made by en-
ployqrs, and build up lima ginary sit
uations about that man that would
surprise even him.
Don't be silly about this whole
business. If you're going to work
side by side with a business man
every day, be businesslike yourself.
and don't get personal about little
remarks. If he gets personal, don't
encourage him.
The minute you create the situa-
tioD of being in love with your boss
girls. your chances for advancement
in your work, for improving yourself
are slipping. You may think they're
strengthening, but they're not, be-
cause you are dividing your interests
and energies. You cant concentrate
your mind on making a success of
your job and at the same time ro-
manticize about your boss. Business
success is too serious and cold
blooded propo sition.

Old Forts of
Historic Value Are
Purchased by State
From United States

Several old forts and military res
ervations located in different parts
Of the State, which have lost their
value for military purposes but re-
tain a value and interest as historic
points. have recently been purchased
by the State of Maine from the
United States, the purchases being
made by order of the governor and
council and paid for from the State
contingent fund.
At the last session Of the governor
and council an order was passed
providing for the purchase of two
fort reservations and two small
Islands at a total cost Of $S125. AS
the result the State will soon re-
ceive the deeds for Fort Baldwin
located near Popham Beach, 1f
miles from Bath: Fort McClary
which was sub-post of Fort Con-
stitution. three and a half miles
and the Sugarloaf Islands at the
mouth of the Kennebec river. The
north and south Sugarloaf Islands
were both bought for the sum OF
$50, while $500 was paid for Fort
McClary, and $4,000 for Folt Bald
win.
Provision for the purchase OF
Fort Edgecomb at Edgecomb, Fort
st. George at st. George, Fort Ma
chias at Machiasport, and Fort
Knox near Bucksport, was made in
an order passed by the governor
and council at a previous session
The cost to the State was as fol-
lows: Fort Edgecomb, S501; Fort
-Machias. 500; Fort st. George
$3.50; and Fort Knox 1921.
Thus for the sum of a little less
than $1,000 the State Of Maine
becomes the possessor of property
the historic value of which is diff
ficult to estimate. It is understood
that the purchase of these pieces OF
property at the prices stipulated re.
quired immediate action on the part
of the State. thus it was impossible
to wait until the next Legislature
convened. For this reason actor
was taken at once by the governor
and council and payment was made
from the State contingent fund. The
deeds for the property are signed by

Weeks.
The sale of this property by the
United States Is in line with the pol
Icy which 1t is carrying out of dis
posing of certain old forts and res
ervations, the military value of
which has gone but which would
be of historic value to the states. The
property purchased by this State
will probably be used as public res
ervations.
One of the best known Of the old
forts in Maine is Fort Knox, opposite
the town of Bpcksport. This was
built previous to the War of 1872
and garrison of troops was main
tanned there during that war. The
fort was also garrisoned during the
Spanish-American War. A little
later caretaker was appointed to
look after the property, but after
a few years the caretaker was with
drawn.
Each Of the military reservations
taken over by the State has par
ticular interest as a landmark in its
respective locality. They will be
welcome additions to the States
property.
