DO YOU KNOW WHAT
TEAM WORK MEANS?

Il don't see why I should be ex-
pected to help out in the art goods
department during the lunch hour
of other girls. 1 wasn't hired to sell
art goods; I'm in the notions" said
Miss Winchell, saleswoman, in an ag-
grieved tone.
That's what 1 think. They tell US
we ought to send customers to the
hosiery counter after they buy gloves
from u.s." remarked Miss Hastings.
Seems to me we ought to build the
business of our own department. in
stead of worrying about the hosiery
business"
Both young women. II questioned
about their loyalty to the store
would have affirmed it unqualifiediy.
Yet as l heard them, 1 wondered if
they knew how disloyal and how mar
row in their views they really were.
Have you ever felt as did these two
young women-that you are working
for a particular department and that
it is loyalty to do all you can for
your own section and no other?
If you have ever had that view, or
if you have 1t now, you do not know
what teamwork means. and you do
not know how to cooperate.
When you come down to facts, for
whom are you working? for the con-
Germ that pays your salary. If that
is the case, your loyal endeavor
should be to do everything possible
to further the business of your con-
Germ as a whole-not of ne particular
section. / realize that there is often
rivalry and some feeling between
members of departments, but to share
that comes from taking narrow
view of things. You should work for
Germ as whole-not of one particular
section. Unless you realize the value
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1923-06-09

Of teamwork-of every one in con-
Germ pulling in one direction to attain
success, you will never have the
broad vision Of business nor the MOD
ern business ideals that make for
success. Being petty and narrow
about working for one particular DE :
partment limits your vision and
means that you are not a big enough
person to cast aside narrow preJu-
dices and rvalries and really CO.
operate.
All business today is based on co..
operation. 1t is the combined EFFORT
Of many-not the work of each indi-
vidual-that insures success of bus
iress concerns or of armies. You, al an
individual. may regard yourself as
all-important. but just think OF your
self S one link in big chain OF
workers, pulling toward one goal
and you will see the value OF CO.
operation.
Don't be SO small-minded, girls
that YOU don't want to work for any
other department but your own.
After all, concern that pays your
salary has a right to use your serv-
ices in any department 1t sees mt. Be
big and broad-and understand the
meaning of business teamwork.

HONOLULU TO
WAR ON HEN
SLACKERS'

49, ONOLULU. - Hens of the
IT, barnyard variety would
{" seem to be more tempera-
mental on these islands than else
where. Once in a while, when
the mood strikes them, they lay
an egg or so. AS a result, island
eggs, fresh eggs, as distinguished
from the cold storage variety i'm
ported from the mainland, sell
for almost their weight in gold,
whether they are worth it or not.
The University of Hawaii has
an agricultural department which
as a whole has a well-developed
bump Of curiosity. The curiosity
this year took the form of an in
clination to learn why Ha-
waiian hen is temperamental.' An
egg-layipg contest was inaugu-
rated and is now in progress.
Hens from all over the island
have been entered in the con-
test, which will run for a full
year. The biddies are kept in
specially constructed pens in the
agricultural experiment station at
the university. In order to
equalize the race all are being
fed the same food and kept under
the same conditions.
Next year the islanders hope
the close of the contest will show
owners of hens how they can in
duce the layers to increase their
output.
