THE HELPER HAS
EIGHTH BIRTHDAY
Church and Social Service Organ
Grew Because it Helped
Others, Says Editor.

THE HELPER, local church and
social service publication, has just
passed its eighth birthday. Editor
Thomas R. Morgan is receiving many
congratulations upon the remarkable
growth and success of his paper
which has in truth grown from a tiny
infant to a healthy, robust eight-year-
old. Herewith is reproduced fac
simile of the first HELPER, issued
March %, 1915. As can be seen it
was then only about calling card
size. The present size of the paper
is. ten inches by three columns.
Editor Morgan attributes the
growth Of the paper TO the policy Of
printing bright, cheerful news, and
the gospel of helpfulness. -. q
"THE HELPER believes that it
has started and kept alive spirit
that is the surest means to group
progress-the "helper spirit" Mr..
Morgan said. "It has always be-
5ieved that the good that people do
should be noticed in preference to
the evil and that everyone should be
encouraged to help the other fellow
along the road. As result of this
preaching, the Helper movement has
reached out to many of our biggest
men and corporation in st. Paul and
given them a new conception of their
colored population. From st. Paul it
has spread to many other cities. In
it's ninth year and all the other years
THE HELPER will continue to pub
ish the doctrine of helpful co-opera-
ton"
The Helper movement was started
18 years ago with the motto, "Be a
Helper" The first officers are still
in office: Thomas R. Morgan, presi-
dent: S. Ed. Hall, vice president, and
o. C. Hall, secretary. Headquarters
are in the Hall Bros. barbershop in
the Pittsburgh building.

Ethics of Jesus Held
insufficient Now
(Crusader Service.)

New York, April 6.-In his closing
address before the Sunday. evening
forum at the Etheical Culture Meet
ing House yesterday Alfred w. Mar
tin discussed what he called "The
Insufficiency of the Ethics of Jesus" /"
"As moral teacher" he said,
"Jesus confined himself to the ethics
of personal life, for the excellent rea-
son that in Judea in his day personal
ethics was the paramount issue. So
cial and international ethics, there
fore, were none of his concern, and
the fact explains why the world is
still drifting on such issues as the
spiritual significance of marriage and
the ethics of divorce.
at is safe to say that if the scope
Of Jesus teaching had included these
problems, our civilization would be
further ahead than it is. For moral
and spiritual clairvoyance Jesus had
a distinct and exalted genius second

As the rehabilitation work of the

cases involving peculiar difficulties
naturally arose. There were men who

to acquire sufficient skill to be able to

termed problem cases.. They are

The most prolific source of such
cases is men of little education, who
have les than an average education
Such men often aspire to employ

ORCHARD aAN GARDEN NOTES
april 8 to 15.)

(AprlI Co 10.
Plant two or three dozen or more
gladioli blubs this spring.
Lettus, radish, opions, spinach and
parsnips may be planteG-early. The
ground should be easily worked and
in good condition before planting.
A few good hand tools, such as
hand seeders and cultivators, make
garden work easy. Plant in long
rows in wei prepared soil.
Don't be in a hurry to uncover
Strawberries and perennials. Leave a
part of the cover on as long as pos
sible.
Seeds may be planted in sheltered
part of the garden for transplanting
later, as soon as the soil can be easily
worked.
Many gardeners and fruit growers
could easily increase their sales dur
ing the summer by a little careful
advertising. Try it, it's worth while.
: Vegetables have greater food
value than many people think. A
garden of ten or dozen kinds should
add pleasing variety to the table all
summer. Plan and .splant for all
years use.
Be sure your vegetable and flower
seeds are of good quality. It costs
no more to raise good varieties than
poor, and there is lot more pleasure
in it.
I The home flower garden should not
be neglected. Cut flowers will prove
worth while for home decoration all
summer. A few perennials should be
planted. Annuals give quick returns
and liberal plantings Of favorites
should be made University Farm,

What's in it, officer?"
The officer replied that he did

''Since the bottle Is very ma

necessary that we become familiar

DR.. William c. Fowler, District
Health Officer, has found 1t i'm
possible within the past three years

LOCATES
employees.
IN Dc.
Over 80 Per Cent VIII Be.
Listed by Sept. 1-Slight
Delay Encountered.

More than so per cent Of the
ALLEGATIONS will be returned by
the Personnel Classification Board
to the departments by September
1, officials Of the board an
nounced today. Some delays have
been encountered which probably
will hold up approximately 20
per cent Of the ALLEGATIONS for q
short time.
Anxiety by Employees.
1t is expected. however, that all
of the ALLEGATIONS will be in the hands
of the department in ample time for
all the estimates to be presented to
the budget bureau not later than
September Is.
Chairman Bailey of the board
again emphasized the fact today that
the tentative ALLEGATIONS all will go
through on schedule time.
In order to correct misapprehen.
sions existing among Federal en-
ployes, officials of the board called
clerical, fiscal and administrative
grades offer Just as high financia!
inducements as do the scientific and
professional grades under the new
classification law.
There is great anxiety on the part
of certain employees to have their
type of work placed in the scientific
or professional class rather than in
the clerical or administrative.
1t was pointed out today that
there are no higher rewards for the
efficient worker in the scientific or
professional grades of the Govern
ment service than in the others.
AS matter Of fact promotion in
the clerical and administrative work
is easier to obtain than in the
scientific or professional grades.
Salaries Often Overlap. =
Salaries in the administrative
grade overlap to a marked extent
and 1t is often possible under them
to grant an employee a deserved in
crease in salary by a slight change
in the character Of his work. These
changes are not so easily made in
the scientific and professional
grades however and therefore pro-
motion is often much slower in
coming to the efficient employee.
This attitude will be taken by the
Personnel Board with regard to pro-
test on so-called improper classifi-
cations coming from employee groups
which desire professional rating.
This question is regarded as funda.
mental in the problems Of classifi.
cation that will arise as soon az
the tentative ALLEGATIONS are out of
the way.
