MUST SUPERVISE WORK

,Shake-up Puts KIan '0n
Top Of World

Without a word of protest,
Detective Captain Jerry Kin
ney today dug in to do two jobs
instead Of one, the result of
efficiency moves" Of city coun-
Gil and the board of safety.
City council having abolished the
post Of supervisor Of detectives in
order to unhorse Michael ]. Glenn,
who held the job, the safety board
late Tuesday reduced Glenn to a
detective and directed Kinney to re-
main as captain and take over the
supervisors duties.
Kinney, recognized as one OF the
best detectives In the country, did
not talk about his situation, but
his friends at police headquarters
pointed out that the change means
this:
AS captain. Kinney on a schedule
Of approximately eleven hours day
divides with a lieutenant the duty
of directly supervising the men in
the field. Work of the department
has increased five-fold In the last
five years, records show.
Plenty for Supervisor
Under the old arrangement the
supervisor generally directed the de-
partment, personally took command
Of important investigations. cor
responded with other cities on inn
portant cases. kept in touch with
every case by checking detectives
reports. sat in on questioning Of
prisoners and generally found plenty
to do.
Now Kinney not only must handle
these duties, but also the highly i'm
portant detail work Of the captain.
The board of safety has named no
additional ranking officer to take
over part of these duties. explaining
that the budget does not permit the
salary.
Kinney also faces the worry OF
having lost two of his best detec-
tives and the necessity of training n
number of green men as result of
the efficiency shake-up by the board
Tuesday.

IF it isn't an Eastman il isn't a
Kodak" Here is a slogan we all know.
Eastman was not the inventor OF
photographic merely invented q
million uses for it. Then he told us
of those uses and how they would
make us happier. He went a step
further and coined a word which
never before had been known in the
fields Of photography and called his
little picture-taking boxes "kodaks."
The word doesn't mean anything of il
self-it wasn't in existence until East
man caused it to be born. But it has
come to almost entirely take the place
of the word camera. We don't take
our cameras with us on a vacation
jaunt-we take cur kodaks. Eastman
sold the American public on the idea
of recording and visualizing memories.
Surely, he has built tremendous or
ganization and great fortune out of
it-but it was service TO us--a bust
ness servicevelse he would not and
coud not have prospered thus.

When We stop to analyze the reasons
these names are well known to us, we
find that it is not because of the
wealth possessed by the owners of the
names-but rather because that
wealth came into being as a result of
a direct service-a business service to
the people.
This is something worth mulling
over as We are in the making Of our
plans for the new year.

What Makes Names Great?
AS We Investigate Bit We Find That We Know the
Names of Wealthy Men, Not Because of
Their Money, But Because of Service
By ELWOOD LLOYD

There are about dozen names of
American men with whom nearly all
of us are acquainted. Men nationally
outstanding. Most often when we hea :
these names We think of them as rep
resenting men Of great wealth, ana
perhaps We arc prone to envy them
the possibilities their wealth holds.
But We seldom stop TO realize that the
names of these men are familiar to us
all not because of their wealth, but
because of the service they have rcn-
dered to us as nation.
Probably Of al these spames that of
Edison is the one most familiar. We
know him rs great inventor-al-
though it is true that the present gen.
Grafton of youngsters have not heard
as much about Edison as the previous
one. We know him 10 have been in
strumental in the discovery and devel-
opment Of such important utilities as
the electric light. monograph, motion
picture, telephone. telegraph and the
electric railway.
/, While it is by no means certain
that the thought OF great wealth was
the ambition or incentive which
caused Edison to devote many weary
hours of research and toll TO the de
velopment of these things, yet it is
true that their development has con-
tributed largely TO his store of this
worlds gpdS. However, the important
thing about Edison and his inventions
and developments is not so much in
the things themselves as it is in the
fact that he had the genius as bust
ness man TO get them into use so all
of us might have advantage of them.
Had he not possessed this genius he
would not have been such benefactor
TO the people of this and all other
countries, although he might have
been just as successful as an inventor.
When we hear the name of Gillette
We think of safety razors-and the
wealth these little shaving implements
have piled up for the man. But, on the
other hand. Gillette was not the in
ventor of the first safety razor-he

1t was the last but one of Sandy's
encounters with her husband-the last
but for the one CHASTITY finish.
Her father said no more. Yet she
was allowed subtly to feel that they
all thought her callous and her grief
feigned. She had played the traitor
she had refused what was in a man
aer her mothers dying wish.
She ignored this attitude, taking
refuge in her old brazen indifference.
But she was crushed.
The whole house had an empty,
desolate air. With Isabel gone. there
seemed no reason for keeping the big.
roomy old place-no reason for serv-
