"Saxophone English" is criticized
by teacher of expression who nat
urally objects to such compressed ut
terances as "Whadja say" and
'Watcha got?" But, even so, it is
rash for him to say that Americans
are destroying the English language
The manner of talk in England and
America few generations ago is ap-
proximately preserved in many an
isolated district nowadays, and it is
not admirable. The average Ameri-

1t is Rhoda, the graceful Greek name,
which has completely lost Its identity

The name signifies Rose" 1t Is taken
from the Greek word for the flower.
It was apparently transplanted In

to have arisen from the Latin "hros." "

been taken from the flower. Indeed,
most of the derivatives Of the femi-

come from this source.
Thus Rhoda Is almost unique in her

never suffered contraction.
The ruby is Rhoda's talismanic gem.

IGNORING
LabOr's Good Will Costly
FannOn Tells Employers

Baltimore. - Employers in this
country are paying heavy cost for
their unsympathetic attitude toward
labor, said S. F. Fannon in an ad-
dress before the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' Association.
The employers are losing 25 cents
on every dollar because of an absence
of good will between the two forces
and the employers are almost entirely
responsible for this condition, said Mr..
Fannon.
The tendency of American industry
in recent years, he said, has been away
from sympathetic understanding of
the working man. Much thought, said
the speaker, has been given to new
methods of production, to cost finding,
to stopping leaks, to inventions and
other factors in industry, but the av-
erage employer -neglects to study the
human factor, where the greatest leak
is apt to occur.
The remedy for these conditions,
said Mr.. Fannon, is education and a
bridging of the gulf between employer
and employe This remedy will lead
to better working conditions, better
understanding on both sides and a
closer human relationship which will
make for economies and increased pro.
-duction.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES;
DON'T BE "COPY-CAT"

INITIATING Is poor policy. Yet on
\ every hand we find people living,
dressing and amusing themselves the
way others do for no particular reason
other than, perhaps, to satisfy their
desire not to permit anyone to get
ahead of them.
Probably nothing proves greater
obstruction to the progress of the
world than the folly Of Initiating. Ger
tainly the desire so to do results In
a great amount Of unhappinsss to men
and women everywhere.
The only real advancement In any
community or for the public at large
must come through people doing new
things or old things In different ways.
Every important advance, with prob
ably few exceptions. has come to In
diyiduals and nations as result Of
men or women taking new paths in
order to accomplish something worth
while for themselves and their fellows
Because they cannot live In houses
as fine as others, cannot wear as fine
clothes and jewels and cannot .dupli-
cate their nsighbors' motors, large,
unfortunate class find little Joy In
living Others work and growl all
along their pathways because they
spend too much In order to initiate
their fellow men.
No individual ever stands out from
his fellows unless he does something
valuable which others cannot or are
too lazy to do. 1t, therefore, Is not
difficult to understand why the few
who occupy places Of real honor are
so few. Nor lis 1t beyond understand
Ing that so many seek high places and
success In vain, because they either
do not try to distinguish themselves
by doing one important act which
others fail to accomplish, or else aim
no higher than others.
When one tries to initiate he is
more likely to make a miserable fail
ure than to succeed.
Muskrats initiate the beavers In
housebuilding In the wilds along Lake
Superior, but they remain muskrats
just the same.

EXCESS PROFITS
Dropped BY Congress To
Benefit Wealthy

Washington.-When congress re-
pealed the excess-profits tax in 1921
and substituted a uniform profits tax
of 121a per cent, this played into the
hands of big business, declared Con-
gressman Jacobstein in urging a grad
suated corporation income tax.
is there any reason why business
corporation earning 10 per cent on it's
invested capital should pay 1919 per
cent rate on its profits, while cor
poration earning 100 per cent rate of
profits is paying the same rate of
taxes, namely, 1914 per cent said
the congressman.
The speaker said the recent stock
dividend decision by the supreme court
"is an additional reason why we ought
to capture some of these abnormal
profits"
The decision permits corporations to
pass on to their wealthy stockholders
large profits in such way as to en-
able them to escape the tax
"The corporations that issue stock
dividends are likely to be those that
have earned and are earning high
rates of profits" said Mr. -Jaeobstein
Corporations that have hidder
their real profits, and have not beer
taxed on their undistributed profits

wealth in such form as to escape the
tax which was originally intended tt

WANT BOARD ABOL-
ISHED

Washington Abolition of the rail-

the senate interstate commerce COM

ganized railroad employees.
President Robertson, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen, told the
committee that the "uselessness of the
railroad labor board has been shown
by the increasing number of violations
by the railroads of it's decisions"
The brotherhood executive declared
shat more than 200 decisions have
been violated by the railroads, in sew
eral instances with the sanction of
