HAS new YORK AHEART
~ SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

There was $500, 900 received in en-
trance fees for the prize, fight for
the poor children's milk fund. also
the Park avenue fair for crippled
children netted over 100000, making
nearly half million. dollars in the
interest of necesitous Riddles, Sc
cured in les than week.
And yet there are hundreds of
people who call the metropolis the
"heartless" city. There are cynics
who viii say that the prize fight was
avenue affair was also of similar
nature.
1t Is true that many people who
went to both of these affairs might
have gone had they been arranged
for pleasure only, but it is beyond
cavil that the majority of the people
in purchasing a ticket or entering
into the spirit Of these movements
went there with the added incentive
of doing their bit of good.
We hear so much about this city

yond measure to know how whole

As stated many times in. these col

Another instance that came to me
only recently from a similar section
OF the city was that of an old couple
life partners. who had gotten down
in the scale of dcstitution and dis
tress owing to their age and it look
ed as though their humble home
would need to be broken up and both
sent to different institutions and thus
separated in their declining years.
They had struggled along on al
most nothing in order not to beg. but
finally the battle was too great. Some
kind person who had lived near them
for years made the appeal to few
people, telling how they have been
with us and given US friendship and
aided US when they could, and now
they are down and out"
Soon there was a fund raised suffi-
Client to meet their needs. at least for
two or three years, and it was given
to them in such gracious spirit that
they were not made to feel they were
receiving aims. and this Is the high
est form OF charity. Very easy en-
ployment was found for the old man.

WHEN YOU ASK FOR
RAISE IN SALARY

Il know I'm worth more than the
salary I'm receiving, and the only
way | can get an increase is to ask
for it. My company is what is
known as tight" IT would. never
give raise voluntarily" This is an
excert from letter received the
other day-and it is typical of doz-
ems of letters l receive each week.
This seems to be rather common
situation, girls, and perhaps we had
better we to the bottom of it. To
begin with, how do you know you
Most of us think we are, but are We?
1t is important not to haXe eXXag-
gerated an idea of the value of your
services. Just because you have
been with a concern three or five or
ten years does not always mean that
you are entitled to an increase Of
salary as the years pass. You might
think that firms pay more on the
basis of time, but it is on the basis
of value of services which they pay.
Possibly you're not worth any mare
than the salary you are getting. Did
you ever stop to think of that?
You know, all employers are not
blind, tight" and stupid. 1t is quite
possible that some of them realize
when worker is worth more and
pay it. Perhaps the reason why
you haven't been getting an increase
is because your employer does not
think your services are worth any
more than what he is paying you for
them.
Let us assume that you are worth
Ia hos
does not recognize that by an APP
pirate increase. What then? The
only obvious step is to go directly
to him and ask for the increase. But
there are two ways of doing this:
You can go to your boss in right
eously indignant tone and complain
that you are no receiving enough
salary. You can present the case to
him on the basis of moral obligation
on their part. That. however, is not
the way to do it. Concerns regard
their employees from an economical
viewpoint
If you feel conscientiously that you
should be receiving an increase in
salary, it is possible to, present your
case to pour employer in a frank.
dignified, intelligent way Explain
why you are worth more. I've been
1iere three years and have had only
one increase" is no reason, girls. AS
Il said before, mere length of employ
ment means nothing unless you have
made your services more valuable
during that time. When you ask for
the increase. explain to your EN-
ployer exactly what work you are
doing; perhaps he has overlooked
some. Have you been faithful? Con-
scientious? Loyal? 1t is not merely
enough. however, to tell him those
things; you must show them every
single day, week in and week out.
so that he. himself, realizes the
truth of what you are saying.
Frankly, girls. l don't think that
half of us who think we're worth
more than we're getting, really are.
Certainly, not all employers are
slave-drivers and some must realize
your worth. 1t isn't fcir to assume,
therefore. that sometimes. these in
jured workers aren't worth any
more than they're getting?

Patent Situation

Fourwheel brakes have been in existence for about
twenty years. during which time thousands of patents
have been taken out in Europe and the United States
many of which have expired and is very doubtful if
there any basic patents preventing the use of
four-,vheel brakes.
