A stage director. well known to
Washington play-goers, said recently:
The trouble today is that the public
knows too much about the private lives
of actors and actresses. There is no
longer any mystery about the stage
and its people. and this has been an
unfortunate thing for the profession.
We have gone so far as to reveal the
mechanics Of the theater. We have
observed this tendency in motion pic

of a few years ago. Naturally. the
mystery no longer intrigues the play

BY GUSTAVE GEIGES
President American Federation of
Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers
There is no better way Of educat-
ing oneself in the practical problems
of psychology, sociology, economics,
publicity, public speaking and host
of other subjects than to engage in
real work of organization. An intel
ligently conducted agitation for i'm
proved conditions and better relations
in industry is the most effective form
of mass education we can engage In
today.
Our principal job first, last and all
the time is to organize the morgan
ized. Practically everything we do is,
or should be, means to that end.
We must put new fire and zeal into
this work, because each year we see
more clearly that the only practical
possibility we have of meeting the
newer problems of large scale produc
tion is through complete organization
of all key industries.
We can not master the problems of
the replacement Of workers by ma
chinery unless we have organization.
We cannot do anything useful about
the problem of unemployment, season
al unemployment, child labor, night
work and the danger of southern COM
petition.

THE MAN WHO TRIES

1t is not only pleasure to meet
men who try, but it is also absolute
encouragement.
We come in contact occasionally
with men who are enthusiastic; men
who are endeavoring to inspire 9th
ers with the feeling which animates
them. These men (call them what
you may) are doing world of good.
And why?
Because they are seeking to accom-
plish something, seeking success and
using their best efforts to that end.
They do not always succeed but
they never lose heart. Persistency is
their watchword and success is their
aim.
And what is success?
Success is the realization of some
thing done, of effort that has received
its reward, Of results that speak for
themselves.
Success should not be the goal for
the few but of the many.
Men succeed first by having an OBJ
ject in view and then going after and
getting that object.
BY trying, by making an effort, by
making many efforts, results are ac-
complished. By giving the best that
is in you trial and by making that
trial a success.
Therefore, the man who tries de-
serves credit. Give it to him and go
and do likewise.
