Poverty In Limousines

More than 80 years ago the original "Coxey's army"
wendell its footsore way to Washington. Now another
army led by Coxey is in the act Of descending upon
the national capital. But the army Of 1929 Is alto
gether unlike its weird predecessor except in weird
ideals. The army Of the nineties was q weary and
hungry horde Of tatterdemalions making progress
washington-ward by blstered feet and dirty box cars,
whereas the present movement Is conducted by limou-
sine and trucks with army tents and a fairly well
filled commissary.
The difference between the two armies separated In
time by the third Of a century accentuates the differ
ence Of early nineties and this year Of grace. Poverty
and unemployment were widespread when Coxey and
his lieutenants stepped upon the capitol grass and
we're conveyed 70 a capital city Jail. But poverty
~gesturing from a limousine is unimpressive. There Is
no national unemployment now and no widespread
manifestation Of poverty. In the present crazy drive
across the Appalachans there is none Of the grim
ness that suggested tragedy when the march Of the
nlneties was under way.

We are beginning to appreciate

Is the diet.

Atlantic City Of noted physicians
interested in tuberculosis cited the
fact that there had been a great in

It is their belief. also. that many
other constitutional disturbances

The Once Over
GETTING THE OFFICE FORCE BACK TO WORK
BY Il. Z. PHILLIPS

GEIIiNG IhE OFFICE FORCE BACK TO WORK
Sir: AS q business man employing a large number
Of stenographers, I am very much puzzled by their
inefficiency following summer vacations. They are
l~istless. indolent and preoccupied. Ny company IS
four weeks behind in its correspondence. Rebuking
the help doesn't seem to do any good. What would
you suggest? ANXIOUS MERCHANT.
Ans-Your complaint is a common one in most
business houses during early September. The girls
are having difficulty readjusting themselves 10 nard
work after the summer freedom. Many of them spent
the last two weeks Of August at the shore, and much
tact is required to get them back into the indoor mood.
They cannot be driven or bullied. 1t takes tact and
study.
First Of all, you should realize that a young woman
who has had a long vacation at the shore is most I'M
comfortable in the clothes usually associated with Of
flee work. She should be allowed, for the first three
weeks in September at least. to do her work in D
bathing suit. Let her change to swimming attire as
soon as she comes to the office and you viii note an
immediate change in her attitude toward the lob.
II you. when debating letters. would wear your bath
ing suit. too. and strum q ukelele between letters 1t
would help.
It is also a good idea to have a little beach sand
1.-TWO or three barrels will suffice) dumped in a corner
of the office so the stenographers can play in it in
leisure moments. This sand should be fairly clean
~N "%A~f 1&@ AZ WNA+A " WIA W tA4OW III q Z
clam shells. caroline cans and pieces of broken glass
FOR the sake Of realism.
Every office. too. should have ice cream cones and
hot dogs for the help and distribute them every hour
or so. Until a stenographer has completely readjust-
ed herself it is unwise to expect her to take more than
ten or a dozen letters without time out for a hot dog,
q cone or some pop rorn.
If real efficiency is desired it is not a bad idea to
put a canoe In the office and let the stenographer
take her letters sitting in this. You will be surprised
to see what a difference this will make in the mental
attitude Of a working girl who has just come back
from = wonderful vacation.
After ten days or two weeks the beach sand can
be withdrawn so gradually that she will not miss II.
Next it can be suggested gently that as it Is getting
cool she should cease tipping in her bathing suit.
Then, when she appears to have become fairly well
readjusted, the canoe may some morning be whisked
away. 1t should then be safe to suggest that the
forget all about the vacation resort stuff and get down
10 FERROUS work.

 Not Sure of Results
 Those in the plane in flight could not be sure today that they had spotted any more ruins hitherto un- known to science, although pr. A. V. Kidder, head Of the archaeology ical department of Carnegie institute said there were indications at places these might exist. These places were photographed and plotted on maps.
 The plane flew over several of the cities at which excavations have been in progress. At Chichen Itza the explorers saw two massive ruins bordered on twin pools of deep green water. The temple of war riors excavation of the Carnegie in- stitution was nearly snow white, with its columns in the form of teathered serpents.
 There is a gray pyramid here ex- cavated by the Mexican government, reaching 150 feet toward the sky and surmounted by majestic temple, the details Of which were revealed clearly in bright morning sun.

 Looking For Ruins of Old Cities
Pilots Plane Skilfully in Green Water-Aigaors Flee in Terror-Second Days Flight Reveals Nothing

Belize, British Honduras, Oct. 8 Pt-Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, in search of ancient Maya ruins, yesterday brought his giant plane down with rare skill in the midst of the Yucatan jungle on small green watered pool.
 The colonel and his bride inflated a rubber boat, and, chopping their way through reeds and underbrush with machetes, made their way to shore, where they looked for ruins, and relics of the lost Maya civiliza- ton.
 Alligators Stay Away
 Alligators, with which the lake was infested, kept at respectful distance. On the way back from d hill he had searched to the plane, Colonel Lindbergh spotted one slip ping away, apparently much fright ened at the man-made bird which had dropped down upon its lair.
 While they were ashore Mrs. Lindbergh served her husband. the two scientists who were with them, and the planes radio operator. with a typical field lunch, consisting Of raisins, bananas, and crackers. They remarked they had been so en- grossed in their search for ruins they had forgotten to eat.
 The landing, which was near the banks of lake de Chichen Anaba, Quintana Roo, was without success. The party found neither ruins nor human habitation, nor signs of life other than the wild life usual in the Yucatan jungles. The jungle stop was made at noon, while the party was en route from Merida, Yucatan,
