and roughly, but he made the job

omnibus lines should be encouraged

Four nations are racing to reach
the North Pole. ~MacMillon hopes
to arrive first with the American
flag and his two airships.
Anyhow, whatever happens in
this race, the United States
reached the Pole first.
AS to owning" that territory,
there need be no quarrel. There Is
oil there, within the Arctic. The
Rockefellers have actually proved
it and produced it, although they
do not mean to bring it out.
And as the Pole shifts, the diff
ferent stars one after another be-
come our Northern star, which is
not at all "fixed and unchanging."
Today's Polar lands will lose their
carpet of ice, men will live there,
on fertile fields, and polar night"
will be located elsewhere.
But what, by that time, will
have become of the nations now
claiming Polar lands? They will
have vanished more completely
than the % separate kingdoms
that met the Conqueror when ne
landed in Britain. -,
And what we call civilization will
then be part of a disagreeable past,
studied, as we now study the Bush
man, African pygmies, and the
+'head hunters" of Borneo.
Man by nature delights in
struggle. At Columbia, South
Carolina, beside the railroad track,
four barefoot colored boys from
fifteen to six years OF. age called
out, "Thrown nickel in the air
and We'll fight for it."
The suggestion that tne smallest
boy would have little chance found
no favor. All four boys were dis
appointed when each received his
nickel without a struggle: Even
the smallest boy said, eyes, SIR,
we'd rather fight for it."
There is a moral for employers.
Give your men on salary a
chance to make something extra
by fighting" for extra business
and extra profit. Only profit
sharing gets the best out of man.
A salary, no matter how big, seems
like an insult after few months.
The French declare the election

always in such good health I was wor-

Speaking of FORM" said Ruddy, 're-

1 told him he could see there was
sense to all of them, and he under

"Of course he could see that l had

little bit like a pug nose. He could
tell that my tail feathers were very
pointed and thin and that they were
very stiff and smart in appearance.

cents per hour and rs cents for any
additional part of an hour for each

sons. Guides must conduct all parties
to both floors; to the senate wing;
lower floor, through the crypt; to the
house gallery, and back to rotunda,
from which all parties will start
8. For school organiza tiOns, 5 cents
each person per hour or additional part

There are now Il guides, one of
them a woman recently appointed.
Most of these guides were appointed
many years ago. Benjamin ]. Cady,
chief guide, has been there 40 years,
Albert Daugherty % years, and Ed
ward Ernst, 20 years. Cady does no
guiding. He is director and cashier.
The other 13 guides turn in to him
every night the authorized fees; he
divides them and gets so cents extra.
The guides do not turn in their tips.
In 1923 the authorized fees collected
by 13 guides totaled $30,92765, and
$50, 1920 in 1924 by IA guides. This
indicates a 20 per cent increase in
business. The probable total of fees
and tips is over $50,00O
Few Visitors Escape.
In addition there are at least six
capitol books" on sale at prices rang
ing from $3.50 to % cents. The guides
urge the purchase of these and get
commissions averaging about Is cents.
Mr.. Taylor says these books are writ
ten to sell, and thinks they have little
or no historical value Moreover, the
bOc>S-selling practice appears to have
come into existence without legal au
thority. In addition there is a profit
able sale of postcards.
1t should here be noted that Mr.
Taylor emphasizes the fact that he is
attacking the guide system, not the
personnel of the guides. He thinks
they are all good men. He says they
are doing only what they are allowed
to do by the official rules and customs
long In force And of course a visitor
can get into the building and go about
without employing guide; there must
be more than a million visitors a year
nowadays. Nevertheless, as Mr.. Tay-
lor says, the guides after all these
years, have got the guiding business
to a fine art:
The people must enter at one of
three doors, the door on the house
side, the door on the senate side, or
the door in the center of the build
ing The custom is that when people
enter any one of those three doors
they are met at the door by a very
courteous and suave guide, looking i'm
posing and wearing an officers suit
and cap and a large official badge.
The guide politely says, do you de-
sire to see the capitol building?" OF
course, they very naturally answer
yes" They do not come here to have
their fortunes told; they come to see
the capitol. The guide then says
