j. Stackhouse, General Store
keeper, Reading, Pa, of the Reading
Railroad, who has employed tens OF
thousands of young men during his
long career with the railroad.
Mr.. Stackhouse says: There are
several reasons for beginners or
young men losing their first job.
First-Lack of sense of RESPONSE
bility.
Second - Unwillingness to work
hard.
Third-Lack of thoroughness.
Fourth-False notions about salary
and promotions.
Fifth-Lack of principle and sense
of loyalty.
The above are five of the reasons
why possible 80 per cent of our be-
ginners lose their first job.
Lack Of sense Of responsibility is
shown by neglect to work, failure to
put the most important things first
and the expression in general, az
should worry" attitude.
Unwillingness to work hard ia
shown by being late to work, stretch
ing the lunch hour and stealing few
minutes at the beginning and end of
day, watching the clock and wasting
time by social conversation and tele-
phone calls during the business hours.
Lack of thoroughness is indicated
most frequently by unwillingness to
begin at the bottom and to go through
.drudgery Of mastering each step be-
fore going ahead
False notions about salary and pro-
motions. The real secret of promo
ton lies in constantly doing more
than you are paid to do. The salary
will follow.
Lack of principle and sense of
loyalty is shown by concealment of
mistakes, untruthfulness and constant
making Of excuses and the failure to
realize that your employers interest
deserves consideration, that his inter-
est is yours, and at all times to act
as though he were your friend rather
than an enemy.

In the entire country there are few
women draughtsmen, to say nothing
of locomotive draughtsmen. Miss
Minna D. Deturck is the exception
to the rule. She is employed by the
Reading Railroad in the great car
shops at Reading, and daily is en-
gagged in working on locomotive draw
ings.
For years Miss Deturck has special
lied in tracing intricate machinery
and now devotes her entire time to
locomotives. She frequently works
for months upon the designs Of an
engine and is regarded as one of the
most accurate tracers in the country.
An error of line might cost the
company large sum of money or be
Of serious consequence. She is EN-.
ployed by I. A. Seiders, superinten-
dent of motor power and rolling
equipment of the Reading.

Joseph H. Auchenbach, a grade
crossing watchman of the Reading
Railroad at Palmyra, a small town
near Harrisburg, has the distinction
of being one of the champion en-
broidery artists in the country.
In 1907 Auchenbach was injured,
and while recuperating, took up en-
broidery as a pastime. He became
so proficient that the women of the
community visit him to learn the lat
est stitches, and for his amusement,
he stitches the most elaborate pieces
of fancy work. Experts say his work
is as delicate as many of the natives
of the Madeira Islands. He makes
his own designs and color schemes.

"Men IKE tnat.~ she said, "are
above the law. But they're not
above the lawless!
Then suddenly he became aware
that she was crying-crying softly TO
herself. Wondering. he took one hand
from the steering wheel and laid it
gently over hers: but she drew her
hand away.
He slowed down and brought the
roadster to halt
"When." he demanded, shall | see
you?"
"One never knows" She had
opened the door and was stepping
down. "If ! need you. I'll call your
office"
