While shopping in q store recent ly the Observer heard a clerk brinl to the attention of an older em should be corrected. The reply was Let the boss take care of it. H. gets the profits. let him take tn' headaches, too
 unfortunately for all concerned this attitude is too common in busi ness life. IL is the rust on the wheel. of progress and does more to retarC success than any other factor,
 Letting the boss take the head aches is popular indoor sport Some employees work harder dodg. ing mental processes than they would if they took the shorter but harder cross cut in solving prob lem and used their brains, Evasiof of responsibility is not confined tc reckless automobile drivers. The fel' low who would howl loudest or Saturday if the boss could not dis up the payroll spends a large part of his time passing headaches along 10 his employer.
 No man ever became really great in industry or business without tax ing the headaches and getting rld of some honest to goodness sweat The boss like the fellow who uses his head. That's what he pays him for Headaches can be turned f1ntc cash but the average employe does n't realize ii. X few aches in the head may result in few extra dol lars in the pay envelope. The man who is working for another can make up his mind to one thing-Ii he doesn't take some of the head aches he cant have any Of the pro fits. Many employers are only toe willing to pass along some of thell gains to a man who will show real continuous interest in his work and in promoting his employers busi- ness. That's the kind of men em' plovers are looking for. If they get them they consider themselves for
 unate and often show their appre- citation.
 Headaches and sweat-tWo Of the ingredients in the description Of sue cess.
 Patrolmen who were becoming discouraged because cf the lenlency shown "cop baiters' by the courts oajned much satisfaction this week when Judge filling sent youthful iisturber who fought with police man to jail. Members of the force were dispirited because in seFeraI recent instances fines instead of iail sentences had been imposed on men who attacked policemen. They now believe that they can clean out this type of thug If the judges will stand behind them and make it a rule to send offenders 10 jail.
 In nearly all industrial cities like New Britain there is an element composed of young men aid old boys who decline to work and whose chief delight it is to make smart remarks when policemen pass by Older patrolmen do not take them seriously, unless they become offen- siye in their language, but the vourger members of the force arc apt to lose patience and resent their greetings. There is nothing i'm proper in this, in the Observer opinion. The police should use a firm hand and take into custody any curbstone habitutes who ln- duge in offensive epithels directed at the men in uniform.
 Within the past few weeks. there have been instances of policemen being painfully scratched and beaten while making arrests. Their as- sailants have escaped with fines in police court. Ii is only natural for the policemen to feel that the courts do not appreciate the gravity of the situation and to take a dislike for their duties.
 It IS possible that jail sentences would not cure the evil but it would check it. Hard boiled citi- zens, like hard boiled eggs, arc yellow inside and they try to avoid temporary lodgment in the county institution at Hartford. Judicial severity in a few cases would make "cop baiters' think twice before they indulged in their favorite pastime.
