THE HIGHEST-SALARIE WOMAN

THE HIGHEST-SALARIED WOMAN
NTO Minneapolis there the other day
a woman, still young, who is known to the
United States and the world as the nations
best-pad woman and one of group of the five
best-paid women in the world.
Her story is full of drama and interest," of
faith in other human beings and understand
ing of their traits and tendences-such know
ledge as enabled her to increase her income
from starvation wages" on a desoate New
England farm to it's present six-figure efficien-
cy
The woman is Mrs. E. B. Green now vice
president and organizer of commercial firm in
New Haven, Connecticut. Seventeen years ago
she and her permanently invalided husband and
their tiny daughter saw their small income be-
come smaller, knew that the husband was never
going to be any better, knew that the problem
of the family's future finances rested on the
young wifes shoulders.
She did what many another woman has done
in her position-took up craftsmanship. Rather
she "canvassed", going from house to house.
From this she passed to executive positions in
the firm and later became its organizer. Now
she travels ten months each year going from
Maine to California to meet the 1000 people
whom she has brought into the organization.
Also she goes abroad to visit the branch houses
in England, Scotland and Ireland
In the meantime in her comfortable home
back east, surrounded by every luxury, are the
invalid husband and the daughter, now young
woman.
These are the things one woman has done,
without training, without any background except
that she was born of a fine Virginia family which
bestowed upon her the invaluable gift of charm,
culture and courage plus more than an average
quantity of good looks and personality. With
these she faced the world, always prodded
ward by the many tined fork which Necessity
held at her back.
Now with success achieved Mrs Green,
with utter lack of self consciousness insists
that any average woman can do what she has
done if she sets to work seriously in her effort
to meet the business world on it's own terms To
help these women out of her own experience she
has evolved creed and has given these Ten
Commandments to those who would follow her.
Forget you're woman. Don't weep
sulk when you criticized, demand
leniency on the ground of sex.
Learn all there is to know about your
job. Nothing will take the place of informa-
ton.
Discard fear Self-consciouness is fatal.
Be dependable in emergencies.
Be punctual. Men expect women to be
late and so are predsposed in favor of pune
tuaty.
Don't let your social or family life in
terfere with your job. Men place their bust
ness first and we have to compete with them.
Don't argue. Learn to yield point to
gain point. Small quarres result in ir-
ritation that may work against you in
crisis.
Cultivate imagination that sees past
the present moment. Plan far ahead.
Remember that human beings are hun
CRY for sympathy and kindness.
Don't leave your job to go in business
for yourself unless you are sure of your ex-
perience and your backing.
TEARS! SENTIMENTAL TEARS!
There must have been lot of moisture
around the court room in Chicago where the
prosecuting attorney broke down and cried and
refused to go ahead with the prosecution of
Arthur Falk, who, while intoxicated, murdered
his with shotgun three months ago. A
jury, the members all crying, acquitted the
murderer in five minutes. The Judge and others
