Tell The Boss If You Have Any
 Grievance
By RUTH LEIGH

By RUTH LEIGH GETTING in the waiting room of a
 large publishing concern recently,
 I heard a young woman, possibly a stenographer, come out and whisper to the telephone operator.
 Did you get raise, too?'
 T did-not" Scornfully.
 Me either. But Humphrey got one And Miss Willis, too. Beats me why Miss Humphreys entitled to. raise coming late every morning"
 "Oh, well, you know how Mir. Man. ners is. Thinks she's wonderful be- cause she works late. Anyhow, think this is one of the most miserly con. cerns I ever worked for"
 You're right" agreed the stenog.

 The things can neither hear nor

 nose like that Reddy Fox has, or Old Man Coyote, or Lightfoot. the Deer, or Buster Brown, or Paddy the Beaver. When Paddy swan out from his house in his pond deep in the Green Forest the night that Peter Rab- bit had gone over there he just hap pened to start straight for the place where Peter was sitting on the bank. He didn't know that Peter was there, and he wasn't thinking of Peter as he swan toward the shore. He wasn't thinking of any one in particular. The Black Shadows lay very deep on the shore and Paddy's eyes were not strong enough to see into them. He knew this, and he didn't strain them trying to see. But as he swan his ears were very wide open and his nose was very busy. Yes, sir, Paddy's nose was very busy.
 You see, Paddy the Beaver. is one of those who believes absolutely in

rapher. Manners has a funny way of giving raises, think"
 And so the conversation went. It was extremely audible, and I could not help overhearing. As listened, it oc- cured to me this sort of talk was prob- ably going on, will go on and has gone on in almost every large concern in the city.
 Whenever two employees get together, their favorite indoor pastime seems to be to criticise the boss, pan the job, and abuse the company for which they are working. Perhaps you were en- gagged in following this indoor sport today.
 Let me give one suggestion about this, girls. If you have a kick, if you're not satisfied with your concern, or the boss, or your job-don't sneak around corners and tell it to the folks in the office. Do it in the honest, broad minded way. Either go and tell the truth to the boss, or quit your job.
 To me, one of the most serious mis- takes any one in business can make is to complain about things without be- ing above-board enough to tell them to the proper person. If you don't like the man you're working for, get another

together. More than this, he knew what each sound meant, and to know what sound means is quite as impor- tant as to hear a sound.
 So as he swan toward where Peter Rabbit was hiding and keeping per fectly still he heard nothing to make him even suspect that any one was here. His ears told him everything that ears could tell. But Paddy didn't trust to his ears alone, All the time he was swimming his nose was busy testing the air for all the faint smells that wandering little Night Freezes brought out from the shore. Presently as he drew near the bank his nose was tickled with just the faintest of smells. Your nose or mine wouldn't have smell- ed it at all. Paddy stopped swimming for just a second and tested the air very carefully. Then he grinned, and at once swan on toward the bank. He knew that some one was on the bank and he knew just who that some one was. His nose told him.
 Peter Rabbit is sitting up there somewhere" thought he. Il suspect that he has seen me already and is planning to scare me-" Paddy chuck led and turned so as to follow that faint smell. As he drew in to the bank that smell was stronger. That wonderful nose of his told him exactly1 where it came from. He couldn't see Peter be- cause it was too dark. Besides, Peter was hiding behind a little hemlock tree. He couldn't hear Peter because Peter didn't make even the teeniest, weeniest sound. But he didn't need to either see or hear Peter to know he was there, and exactly where he was. So the instant after he had climbed out on the bank he quite took Peters breath away by saying, Hello Peter Rabbit" Qa
 It took away Peter's breath and it upset his plan to have fun with Paddy by giving him a scare. Is it any won- der that almost the first thing Peter did was to ask how Paddy had known that he was there? You see, Peter wasn't we'll enough acquainted with Paddy to know what wonderful nose he has. Had Reddy Fox or Granny Fox or Old Man Coyote found him he would have guessed right away how they had done it.
 Paddy laughed and then he told Pe- ter about his wonderful nose and how he depended on it to keep him safe. Peter told Paddy all about his sickness and all the nice things that had hap pened. Then addy told Peter all the news of that part of the Green Forest, how Mir. Quack had wholly recovered and was as we'll and strong as ever, and how far nothing had happened to any of the little Quacks, although Hooty the Owl tried every night to catch one of them.
 ''There he is now!" exclaimed Pad dy. 'I must give the Quacks warn ing" Sure enough, a big shadow swept silently over the pond. It was Hooty the Owl. Paddy slipped down to the water. Slap! His broad tail struck the water like the report of a pistol "They will know what that means" chuckled Paddy as he came back to join Peter.

 Army officials Tn Washington admit they are puzzled. At the most all Moore could gain is the price of nights lodg- ing, one meal and possibly transporta- tion from one place in a corps area to another. Major B. NJ. Bailey, a staff of ficer at Governors Island, said that Moore had laid himself open to court martial on two charges fraudulent en- listment and desertion. Conviction on either of these charges carries a penalty of two years Imprisonment.
 'AThe only solution can offer" Major Bailey said, ''is that the man has a mania for enlistment"
 Moore was first shown on army rec ords as enlisting at Fort Slocum, N. Y., November 2, 1917. Since then he has used many names to elude the watch fitness of the recruiting officers, but his identity has become knowns by com parison of the fngerprint records. Ac- cording to these records he enlisted at Columbus Barracks, O., December 4, 1923, under the name of William E. Moore. Then December 28 he used the name of Joseph Toolan to enlist at the recruiting station in Washington. Janu- ary 2 he appeared at Albany, N. Y.,

That BoY Of Yours


 EET DON'T pretend to understand SS my boy any more," said the Quer-
 Ous Woman, swaying in the hammock on her pretty veranda.
 Her mother looked politely interested. Her husband scowled a little savagely into his book.
 Albert used to be the dearest little boy and we had no trouble with him at all. But since he started to school really, mother, it is so trying to bring up a boy. He brings the most dreadful boys home from school with him"
 "You haven't tried very hard to un- derstand the bOy,"' said Albert's father suddenly. '"He's just like other boys. He has no brothers or sisters so nat urally he chums with the boys in his class. They are all right"
 "All right! They are dreadfulf There they come now"
 And with a protesting little shriek Albert's mother called, Don't jump over that hedge, boys. Please try to walk nicely up the path instead of scramb- ling across the lawn and spelling all the pansy beds"
 Albert and his little friend landed in a breathless heap at the veranda steps. They wore bathing suits and mud was drying on their bare feet.
 "Where are your clothes? What a filthy condition your feek are in, Al bert. Take them off tke clean steps this instant"
 Albert looked a little sullen as he started around to the back door with his friend. "It's clean mud, mother" he told her, i've can wash it off with the hose"
 Followed by a chorus of Albert ! don't bother cook for anything to eat" Don't use the embroidered towels in the bathroom" Don't forget to wipe yo6r feet carefully before you go up- stairs," etc., the boys disappeared.
 Albert's mother went into the house. The boys were teasing the cook for bread and jam. WhereupOn they were scolded once more an dtold that it was only three hours since lunch time.

boss. But don't sneak around corners and criticise him.
 If you expected a raise and didn't get it, don't voice. your grievance to seemingly sympathetic co-workers. Either go to the head of the concern and ask in polite, sincere way wheth- CT or not you are entitled to an in crease, or keep quiet about the whole matter.
 And if some one else wants to pour similar troubles in your ear, and tell you about grievances against the boss or the company, make an excuse and get away.
 It's bad business-this gossiping and listening to business gossip.

On BasebalI Players Wives

HAVE been reading magazine ar- ticle entitled Players Wives Lose
 Remnants" A pennant, for the benefit of those who are not as wise as am dumb in the ways of baseball, is a prize symbolical of championship. From the title of the magazine article, consequently, you will understand the enofmity of the indictment which has been drawn against the wives of some baseball players. This is a thing we should inquire into.
 The magazine article declares that Fifty per cent at least of wrecked bus mess partnerships are due to the wives of the partners. In professional base ball, where the influence of wives is acutely and directly observable, man. agers say the wives of players break up more teams than any other influ- ence. Most managers oppose players wives travelling with the club and ob- ject to players telling their business to their wives. They declare woman in her jealousy and loyalty for her husc band often ruins his career"
 The only wives of ball players I know are Mrs. Babe" Ruth, Mrs. Bullet Joe" Bush, who comes from Brainerd, Minn., and Mrs. Waite Hoyt. met them quite casually. They did not appear to be wives who would cost their player-husbands any pennants at all. Indeed the New York Yankees, the team on which their husbands play, has won three pennants in a row and is now engaged in an effort to win the fOurth-something which am told has never been done by any baseball team before. My impression was that Mrs. Ruth, Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Hoyt were wholly conscious of their inability to do these things on the baseball field for which their husbands are so we'll known. 1 don't think any of these ladies ever hit a home run.
 Why shift the responsibility for the loss of pennant to the wives of the players? It occurs to me that this is more in the nature of an alibi for the shortcomings of the players themselves. We women are perfectly willing to act as shock disorders and even make ex- cuses for the shortcomings of those in whom we are most interested. But I do not see why all the sins and failures of man, business or social or domestic, should be charged to us.
 Eve has been blamed for a great deal but she was not the wife of a ball player. It seems to me that those who criticize the wives of baseball players as well as other wives for the failures of their husbands should draw the es- sence out of the purpose of baseball and all sports. The rules of good spoFtsmahship should apply to criti- cism.
