HOPELESS LAGGARDS

MOST men are irritated by driv-
49, ing boss. 1t is natural to want to
take your time-to do things in our
own way.
The man who stands at our elbow,
always urging us to speed up, annoys
Us. We resent his nagging. We feel
that we could do much better Il we
we're left alone.
But you will notice. IL you are OBJ
serving. that the boss doesn't waste
much time urging hopeless iaggards
to work faster.
The reason ne keeps after you Is
because he has found out that you are
capable of speed. And If he can get
1t out Of you, thereby teaching you to
get it out of yourself, he has done you
1 service.
Nobody hurries turtle. 1t would
be utterly useless to do so. The turtle
Is utterly Indifferent as to whether he
ever gets anywhere or not. He speeds
up only when falling off log into the
water, and then only when he fancies
his life is in danger.
You ought to be complimented by the

demand that you do more. 1t shows
that there is something In you worth
cultivating. Attention from the man
higher up Is a good thing. He wouldn't
bestow it on you If you weren't worth
1t.
In these modern days speed in bust
ness is absolutely requisite. The
leisurely methods Of fifty years ago
would drive any firm into bankruptcy.
do IT NOW" Is posted in most on
ces. and for excellent reasons. Only by
hurrying the work along can the inertia
OF the average business Office be over
come.
Only by knowing that you have got
to get things done in time can you es-
cape the habit of procrastination, the
most vicious and persistent that you
can acquire.
Be cheerful when you are asked to
accelerate little. With practice you
can learn to do 1t without being told.
And when you can work rapidly and
skillfully, you will soon begin to pull
far ahead Of the other starters In the
particular race you are engaged In.

for the New York Giants this year. To
Jackson perhaps, more than any other
player on the club, should go the honor
Of keeping the Giants In the race.
When Dave Bancroft, star shortstop
Of the Giants, was forced out Of the
lineup for over two months because OF
illness. 1t was figured the Giants were
out Of 1t. No position Is harder to fill.
TO ask some youngster to plug up the
gap made by the departure Of star
like Bancroft from the lineup seemed
to be asking too much.
jackson stepped right In and filed
the bill, despite the fact that he has
had only about years experience In
professional ball. While he didn't do az
Bancroft would have done, still he
played great game for an untried re-
cruit

pinch certainly bears out the nice
things that Jennings says about him.

IF l MIGHT ASK
BY GRACE E. HALL

IF might ask OF God one priceless
= gift
To bless my life and make It
strong and fine,
To help me from the chaos ever sift
Those things which are immortal
and divine;
II it were granted that one blessing
fall
Upon my earthly path. my JOY In
creasing,
I'd ask a broader charity towards all,
And In mankind tender faith un-
ceasing.
If might plead second time. and
gain
The favor that craved all else
above,
I'd ask the power to soothe another's
pain,
And warm some hopeless heart with
human love;
Then, when these gifts had both been
granted me,
And God the last and choicest one
was sending.
I'd ask once more--still broader char
ity.
And in my fellow-men faith un-
ending.

Something to
Think AbOut
RUNNING TIDES
By +. Il. WALKER

WHERE the oceans, seas and riv-
- ers are, where happiness dwells,
where progress wends its way among
the nations, the tides are running day
and night In perfect harmony with the
mysterious force which is prompting.
swaying, driving and compelling every
animate creature to action.
Slowly we learn that these unfore-
seen tides which seem SO Irresistible,
so destructive to our fondest dreams
and aspirations, can pc made sub
servient to our wishes, and how by
stroke or two we may swim strongly
with their currents and reach our
goal.
To some of us the very thought Of
the constant motion Of these tides
suggests that they are opposing us,
seeking to sweep us under, when In
reality they are intended to develop
our prowess to keep our heads above
the waters and carry US safely on to
our destination in spite Of ourselves.
We balk at doing this or that be-
cause of opposition! We lack the cour-
age to breast the flood. In moment
of despair we feel that it is preferable
to destroy our ambitions and forget
them than 1t Is to make the fight.
1t Is pleasanter to sit by the fire
and picture castles in the air than 1t
is to erect them on a substantial foun-
dalton. And frequently, while we are
thus idly dreaming, the tides pick us
up and whirl us of to some destitute
island. If In our temporary isolation
we regain our senses and see our
selves as we really are, we summon
our spiritual and physical strength
and strike out boldly for the main
land.
Whatever our sensations may have
been in the grip Of such emotions, If
we have within us the right qualities,
we are likely later In our careers to
become more earnest, capable and pa
tent.

The United States Department OF

The old egotism, narrow selflshness
and churlish temper, which were pull
ing us down beneath the waters, have
scurried away.
We have become more charitable,
more neighborly, more inclined to pull
with the tides than to oppose them
when opposition Is Of no avail. We
need cheerfully the advice Of our su-
periors instead Of rejecting 1t with
ugly words Of protestation or rising
up In rebellion against well-meant au-
thorlty.
And this is as 1t should be. The
secret Of success Is to know when to
buffet the tides and when to float com
placently with them.

being made to hand Americas

was fortunate enough to secure the
services Of one of the most famous
batters and fielders known in base
balI-this being made possible only
because of his being barred from

1t will be recalled that about
three years ago. Joe Jackson. to-

Weaver, Rosenberg and several
other Chicago White SoX players
were suspended, and later eXpell-
ed from organized baseball, after
being accused of having thrown

Being indicted by a Cook county
grand jury, the accused players
were tried on charges of criminal
conspiracy, but these charges were
not sustained, and Jackson is now
suing the Chicago Baseball club
for 100000 for alleged damages
sustained because of his expulsion
