To get down to persons some of

of people know him better as James

through that gained the right to a
membership in the longshorerlen's

There Is M surface indication by
which you can always tell 4 novice
from a professional, and that is in
not learning how TO be joshed and
take a joke in public. When I see
a bank clerk flying of the handle
and inditing an indignant letter
over his signature over something
not concerning himself at oil I feel
like telling him two things. One Is
that he is holding down a position
delicate enough from: every angle of
itself and that h might sometime
have troubles OF his own. Therefore
leave other peoples troubles strictly
alone Above all don't make that
fatal mistake of losing your temper.
That looks bad in n bank CLERK as
