Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

But take q tip from me, part
ner-don't do it. Don't quit on
yourself like that?
Depression? Sure we have
it. And you can't prevent it.
Times like this are bound to
hit us every now and then.
Conditions like this are beyond
our control. But your own con-
dition isn't beyond your con-
troll.
Suppose the market did go
blooey - suppose they did sell
short-you needn't sell yourself
short.
You're just one big asset
always. Whether times are good
or bad, you have just one as
set you can bank on-one COM
modify you can trade with
that asset is yourself.
Wheat and cotton and coal
and steel-they go UP or down
1t won't matter much, a $ long as
you keep yourself at par. For
sooner or later. you'll get your
stride again. There's something
in you that will actually create
prosperity for you, II you'll keep
it functioning.
Demand Good Luck
Think good luck-get yourself
ready for good luck-expect and
demand good luck, and you'll
get it.
But once let your value flop
In your own eyes, and you're
done for.
Go around wearing dirty XII
monos flappety shoes let the
dirty dishes pile in the sink and
the bed lie unmade in a sour
room-and life will treat you as
you're treating yourself. A down
at-the-heel body means q down.
at-the-heel soul. And down-at-
the-heel soul has the market val
ue Of garbage.
Don't do it, partner. Buck up
and clean up.
Suppose life has two-timed
you? All the more reason for
not two-timing yourself!

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland.

regards every girl in the office
as an amusement or a conquest,
is rare these days; and as much
out of the picture as crocheted
tides and comic valentines.
The modern Don Juan does
his philandering after office
hours, keeps his business and
his romances as distinctly sepa-
rated as his shoes and his col
lars, and often makes the hard
est-boiled boss.
This is very hard on the
brave young girl who has come
to the big city, all prepared to
"resiSt temptation"-and finds
no temptations" to RESIST!
The ideal boss is the man
who UNDERSTANDS women.
Who neither regards the woman
in his office as a machine, nor
looks upon her as a sentimental
possibility.
The man who KNOWS the
female of the species, and can
distinguish between the loyalty
of the faithful worker, and the
clever tricks Of the office cutie.
And the ideal business girl is
the one who understands MEN,
and knows how to make them
LIKE her and respect her,
without resorting to flattery or
turning on the "seX-appeal."
Getting along with the men
in the office, without either
stopping over Sentimentally, or
growing prim and hard-boiled,
Is the feat of a modern business
woman'S life. But, success in
this means success in business.

POt-HOoks and Petting
The hardest task of a busi-
ness girls life is to make the
men LIKE her.
I don't mean to make them
love her. Or fall for her. Or
flirt with her. It's easy enough
to make a man love you, if you
have youth and pep and use
the right lipstick and wear the
right clothes.
:. It is far easier for a man to
love a woman than it is for
him to like her. Because he
can love her casually or
blindly; but he has to like her
sincerely-and with his eyes
wide open.
He can love her as he would
the office kitten; or admire
her as he admires the Persian
rugs on the floor or any other
office decoration. But when a
man likes a woman, he has to
IKE her as a human being;
and that's the hardest thing
for any man to do.
The day has passed, when
every girl looked upon the
office door as the door to
romance, or adventure or matri.
mony. There are still some
girls who mix pot-hooks with
petting. But to the average
girl, the kind of Boss" who
punctuates his business letters
with sweet nothings, and ex-
poets to pat the hand that
holds the fountain-pen, is more
Of an affliction than a tempta-
ton.
Besides, the Lothario-B Boss who

A Crime Deterrent
"Crime is best checked by
teaching children kindness to
animals" states James p.
Briggs, president. I'm a town
near London, humane educa-
ton of children has proved a
solution for evil tendencies. Out
of 2.000 graduates, there has
been not one act of criminal
offence. Kindness to animals
should be taught in all schools.
In a States a law already re-
quires teachers to devote 80
minutes a week to this subject.
In Chicago an order has been
issued by the Board Of Educa-
ton compelling teachers to de-
vote 80 minutes a day to hu-
name education. A bill is now
pending in Congress requiring
that humane education be an
integral part of the curriculum
in all public schools.
wholesale breeding Of ami
mails should be prevented. Chill
dren should be encouraged to
take the non-pedigreed dogs
and cats into their homes and
realize that their hearts are
just as loyal as the 'fancier va
rieties, instead of considering
them so much vermin. Then
there would be fewer derelictS."
Rather than give useless and
extravagant presents to wealthy
friends, let all who can, join
and help support the Humane

Publicity Dodges and
Gate Receipts

Editor, The Times:
It's peculiar, isn't 1t, the
lengths to which certain per-
sons and organizations will go
in an effort to gain publicity
and gate receipts?
I do not mean, Of course, to
make any particular illusions
to local activities or to cast any
reflections on the practices
which have been inaugurated by
members Of Washington insti.
tutionS, only certain such meth
ods have come to my attention
recently, and your column
seems to offer the most ap-
propriate place to air my COM
plant.
Certain movie houses seem
to make a habit of declaring
that their pictures are for
adults only" Censors assert
that children shall not be per-
mitted to view the productions
in question because Of the deli
cacy of the subject matter,
which, in some way, may at.
feet the morals Of our hopeful
rising generation.
These practices may, as I de-
clared before, insure more pc
cuniary results for the theater
concerned, but it leaves a bad
impression, and it's bad busi'
ness, considering that the pic
lures themselves very often be-
lie the imposing and slightly
salaciouS advertising.

ONCE-OVERS
Praise

What do you say when
someone comes to you with a
story about another which reg.
listers the highest praise?
Are you glad to know that
this person has merited the
good opinion of others or do
you at once get In a little dig
which dulls the luster attrib-
uted to him or to her?
There are some folk who
can't stand it to know that
unalloyed credit Is given an.

happens to be.
They never think about how
they feel to be knocked every
time a bit Of goodwill was
voiced in their behalf.
Perhaps they have never
done anything to merit ap-
proval.

other when others are saying
good things savorS too much
Of an envious spirit.
OF course there are some
persons who are so fulsom0 in
their expressions Of praise Of
those they admire that they do
actually Antagonize those who
hear.
But you ought to be able
to hear a lot Of good things
said Of your friend, and even
of your enemy, without spoil
ing it by a mean, counteract-
ing jab which only lowers your
self in the estimation Of those
who hear you.

Mrs. Pinchot Tells Club
OF Her 7-Month Cruise

The seven-month cruise In the South
Seas by former Gov Pinchot and fam
lily last year was graphically sketched
by Mrs Pinchot yesterday to a house
crowded to the stairway at the Con-
gressional Club.
The boat, the Mary Plncnoc. named
for Mr.. PinchotS mother, was a small,
well built schooner, with both sails and
engines and carrying a company and
crew Of 81 persons, including three SCI
entists. The seaworthiness of the boat
was well tried when they were caught
on the reefs and thought the bottom
had gone out over a sharp-filled ocean.
But the boat righted itself and the
damage was repaired. After cruising
about the Caribbean Sea they went
through the Panama Canal and stopped
first at the romantic Cocos Islands, then
reputed for the buried treasure of pi-
rates. Then to the weird Galapagos,
where they secured tortoise and iguanas
then to the Marquesas, 1900 miles
| farther west. which is beautiful island.
Here they found most interesting bird
life.
The pictures showed Mrs. Pinchot
feeding bits Of fish on the end of
stick to the frigate birds and coaxing
others to her lap. She showed the
queer dlpaJrOSS IN tnelr 'nupJlal Qar1ce
and flocks of whirling terves.
| In the Tuamotu Islands, on coral
atolls, they found complete change of
fauna
One of the most thrilling pictures
showed Mrs. Pinchot going down in a
diving helmet to see the coral forma
tions. There is very little vegetation
on any of these islands. as they are
mostly of volcanic origin and in many
places no fresh water within miles
They found the animals quite tame on
some of the islands seldom visited by
the killing white man.
Mrs. Pinchot is picturesque figure
and an easy speaker and her pictures
sensed the dramatic moments and
elected warm applause
