Lindbergh's Flying Commission.

When Charles A. Lindbergh made
his extraordinary flight across the
Atlantic last May and was received
with acclaim by the French people,
feted and honored in that country, in
England. in Belgium and in his own
land upon his return, he was beset
with proposals Of business nature,
any one Of which If accepted would
have made him a great fortune. He
could have capitalized his exploit and
his fame at a high figure. He chose,
however, to invest his prestige in the
cause Of aviation. Upon his return
home he was engaged by the Daniel
Guggenheim Fund for the promotion
Of aeronautics to make a tour of the
country by air in the interest Of a
better national understanding of the
advantages OF aerial transport and
the problems that are to be solved in
its advancement. He made that tour
with remarkable precision Of sched-
ule, and was seen and heard by mil.
lions of people. The country's interest
in him was manifested at every point
Of contact. 1t was then expected upon
the completion of his aerial tour that
he would go into some business en-
terprise connected with aviation. But
it Is now announced that he has been
engaged by the Guggenheim Fund for
an indefinite time to continue the work
Of promoting the interests of aviation
without relation to any commercial
enterprise. He has. as it were, a fly.
ing commission without limit or re.
striction. lie is to use his own judg.
ment as TO what he shall do and when.
He may fly in demonstration or he
may talk in exposition or he may dc
both.
This is a striking demonstration OF
the confidence shown by the trustees
OF the Guggenheim Fund in Lind
bergh's capacity and in his judgment
| He has amply demonstrated both, and
this expression of faith in him is fully
justified.

They will be sitting in the same old
| inclosure five years from now, curslne
| the fate which keeps them down, and
privately berating their employers.
Yet. perhaps, the following incident
may explain to every one else-al'
| though it never will to them-why
some men never get ahead.
They were four boys sitting in the
messengers booth in a great estab'
| lishment. They were terribly busy
discussing men and affairs, principally
themselves and their own, of course.
A visitor came up to a man stand
ing at one side talking to another
and asked where he might find Mr.. SO
and-So.
Turning to one of the messengers,
the man said, "Will one of you please
take this gentleman to Mr.. So-and'
So?"
The four remained seated. the older
one finally deigning to state, You
can find him down the hall. room No.
%" The visitor disappeared befOr e
the other gentleman could recover
from his astonishment.
The point is that not one of these
boys realized that he had been dis
courteous to a guest of the establish
ment, that he not only had failed in
a simple duty of hospitality, but that
he had given bad impression to the
visitor OF the whole works.
X X X X
Not realizing, such an employe
must pay the price, and he usually
does, much to his amaZement and re-
sentiment.
1t takes a boy of unusual intelli
gence to understand, as if by instinct
that failure to be universally cour'
teous in business hurts himself most
of all.
Men commonly enter the work-a day
world to do what is called make a
living" The suppostion is that in bet
terng themselves they will better the
firm, contribute SO much to it's vel
fare.
Thus every worker finds himself
involved in a twofold forward march,
his individual progress in line with the
progress of his firm. The one is in
separable from the other. AS the
firm goes ahead he will go ahead-if
he has the stuff in him.
Perhaps the first requisite in almost
any business to be found in a city is
ordinary politeness. This is the oil of
commerce, which not only makes sell
ing easier but more profitable, since it
helps take the normal friction out of
work and pleases the customer. 1t
helps sell him, which is most to the
point.
Yet it is amazing what a huge num-
ber of young men and women entering
business, no matter in what line, fail
to understand this primary require
ment of contact with the public.
1t Is an astounding fact that VIII
Hays, when he became Postmaster
General, was able to preach ordinary
courtesy Of postal employees to patrons
as a new doctrine. There always were,
Of course, thousands of such workers
who never failed to have a smile for
the patrons Of Uncle Sans greatest
business establishment. Carriers were
famous for their cordial good humor.
There were also, however. as the
shrewd Mr.. Hays unerringly de-
duced. many grouchy individuals who
handed out stamps with frown or in
other ways failed to grasp the fact
that unvarying courtesy in dealing
with the public not only is beneficial
to the business, in that it pleases the
customer and makes him buy, but that
it also Is beneficial to the employe
himself.

Rumanian Ceremony
Parallels Bible Scene
To the Editor of The Star:

October 25 having been the birth
day of the young ruler of Rumania,
and recalling the recent ceremony
proclaiming him King, we are re-
minded of a scene in the Bible which
seems an interesting parallel
And the guard stood round about
the king -. and put the crown
upon him and gave him the testi-
mony: and they made him king and
anOinted him, and they clapped their
hands and said, God save the king
Tor Let the king liveD And
the king stood by a pillar, as the GUS
tom was, and the princes and trum-
peters by the king, and all the people
of the land rejoiced And the
captains and the guard and all the
people brought down the king from
the house of the Lord and
came to the kings house; and he sat
on the throne of the kings. And all
the people of the land rejoiced and
the city was quiet.
Seven years old was Jehoash when
he began to reign."-II Kings, XII.
And we hope these words in the
next chapter are prophetic: "And he
reigned 40 years, and he did that
which was right in the sight of the
Lord all his days" G. HI. HICKS.
