FACTS ABOUT "LABOR TURN.
OVER"

When business concern has to
keep letting help go and hiring new
workers, its rate of labor turn
over" is said to be fast When the
new faces keep coming into a shop
or store, there is something wrong
somewhere.
The constant changing of help is
expensive. Employment managers
of corporations estimate the loss in
cident to taking ON a new worker,
as a heavy lost. The new man has
to be trained, so that his work is not
valuable for time. 1t takes the
time of someone to show him how
to work, he delays the labor of 9TH
ers, he may spoil a good deal of ma
terial. So the idea is often empha-
sized, that it is much better to make
a special effort to train and educate
an unsatisfactory employee, than to
let him go and try some new one
who may be no better.
In some stores one sees new faces
constantly coming in. 1t is some
times hard to sell whether the trou-
BILE is with the management or with
the help. The owners and manag-
ers may lack patience and fairness.
One would think that recently, when
there has been much unemployment,
such changes were not usually due
TO the success of the workers in Sc
curing better jobs. ''sasazszs4S
In the great majority or cases,
such labor turnover is apparently
due to the failure of people3t6 make
good. There are a great many who
10 not like to work. They do not
throw themselves heartily Into their
jobs. They do not seem to have the
interest of their employer at heart
They don't care whether he makes a
success of his business or mot. Eff
forts to train and educate such a
person are futile. tii,.
After the boss has talked and talk
ed to such a one, he concludes that |
it is defective material, that will be
no help in his business. So he makes |
a change, and the tedious process be-
gins all over again. This is a world
of real work, and there is not much
place in it for those who lack am
bitiOn, energy, and reasonable in
telligence.

GLORIFIED PUPILS

Proud parents nave been gather
ing in schools in Delaware as the
term closes, to attend various exhi-
bitions illustrating the years work.
Their faces shine as they see their
offspring march into the school
rooms, the girls glorified in scrump-
tious new dresses, the boys some
what awkward in the austere sever
ity of their exhibition day clothes.
There is reason for pride, since
the young folks of today are quick
thinkers. They know more of life
than their parents did at their age,
sometimes they know too much of
things not learned in school. But
they are climbing up the hill of
knowledge, and making progress.
The most vital lessons taught in
the schools can not be revealed in
any recitations or songs. The chill
dren will forget the rules and facts.
But if they have been taught to be
good little citizens, to be honest
and truthful, stamp has been
moulded upon them more valuable
than book learning.

THE BEST MOVIES

An unfortunate thing happens in
many cities, when some fine movie
picture, produced under high stand
ards of dramatic and pictorial art,
fails to draw as much patronage as
some less desirable film. Managers
of picture theatres regret such a re-
suit, as they like to obtain good
patronage for the best type of pic
lures. But if such pictures are not
well patronized, it seems inevitable
that less desirable kinds will be
shown
Moving pictures have a profound
influence over the country People
tbrOng into the picture theatres, and
if certain set of ideas is promi-
nent in these films, many people will
acquire them.
Assailing undesirable pictures
sometimes does more harm than
good, by advertising them, so that
many morbid curiosity seekers turn
out to be thrilled by their question:
able suggestions. When the people
decline to patrouize an undesirable
picture, the most effective form of
censorship takes effect.
People who cherish high stand
ards can do much to encourage the
best pictures, if they would take
more pains to patronize films of that
character. They remark that fire.
quently they do not know which are
the pictures of the best type. A SER
vice is therefore rendered when or
ganizations and groups of discrimi-
mating people take pains to spread
the word around in advance that
such and such pictures soon to be
shown are clean and wholesome and
helpful.
Churches could do more to help
on the production of the best pic
lures, by permitting notices of such
films to be posted on their bulletin
boards, and otherwise commencing
them. Women's clubs have done
much recently to spread such infor-
nation. The pictures are precisely
what the people demand. If they
want good films, they will get them.
And a picture can be fine and thrill /
ing, without descending 10 coarse
ness or yuigarity.

THE MARCH OF IMPROVEMENT

People who moved away from
communities i'll Delaware 10 or Is
years ago, and who return at the
present time, almost invariably re-
mark on the improved appearance of
these towns. They note that the
homes are better maintained, there
is less disorder, there are not so
many decadent and dilapidated look
ing dwellings.
In spite of all ugly spots found
here and there, people constantly go
ahead to a higher standard. The
young people have good clothes, and
they want their home place to be
well dressed too. They feel out of
place in a disorderly looking neigh
borhoOd. So if we want to keep up
with the times, and look as if we
were on earth, we shall all join in
the march of improvement, and this
applies to farm homes.

WHAT AID VALOREM MEANS

An ad valorem duty is a duty
levied on imported merchandise ae-
cording to it's value. This does not
mean, as great many Americans
are frequently led to believe, that
the ad Valorem duties in the Ameri-
can tariff law are levied on the re-
tail value or the price they pay for
imported merchandise in the stores.
Suppose, for example, a pair of
CzechOslOvakian shoes sold at re-
tail in this country for $500. These
shoes are dutiable at 20 per cent
not 20 per cent on the value of the
shoes in this country, So, but 20 per
cent ON the value of these shoes in
Czechoslovakia, which would be
nearer 81 than SO, making the duty
about 20 or 25 cents. And so it is
with ali but very few of the ad
valorem duties in the American
tariff law; they are levied on the
foreign value of imported merchan-
disc which is only a fraction of the
price the consumer pays in the
store

Sunday School Presents
Pageant, "GOd'S Garden"
The annual Children's Day pro-

a pageant at the M. P. church Sun
day evening. Through the courtesy
of the M. E. church they closed their
church and allowed their members
to attend the exercises. With the
combined congregations the church
was nearly filled when the program
started at 7:45 p. m. Mrs. Alice N.

THE "HIGH COST, ROAD WASTE |

THE "HIGH COST" ROAD WASTE
The need for scientific investiga-
ton of possible road materials by
any state or county planning high
way developments, cannot be over
emphasized.
political roads" have cost mil
lions of dollars. Roads that do not
serve sufficient people to justify
themselves, road of inferior con-
struction that require excessive up
keep costs, high-type roads costing
80 or 40 thousand dollars mile
where a $5,OOO-a-mile road would
do-few states have escaped such
waste.
At present, with the farm-to-mar-
ket road movement receiving more
than ordinary support, it should be
the aim of every community to de-
mand the utmost return for every
dollar spent. In recent years water
proof surfacing materials have been
perfected to use on local road bases,
that give remarkably good, year
round service at an amazingly low
cost. Modern construction methods
and economy in secondary road
building should make it possible to
provide almost all rural areas con-
tinuous year-round contact with the
outside world in the comparatively
near future.
The taxpayers must give this sub
ject intelligent consideration.

ONE of the surprising results of
the recent business depression, is
the way the trade of many big re-
tail concerns has held up, showing
much less recession than the gen.
eral falling run of business. Some
concerns have done a heavier bust
ness than in any previous year.
There is just one explanation of
this remarkable phenomenon, and
that is that concerns of this type
have usually done very large
amount of advertising. They have
fought the lack of confidence with
the message of publicity. They
have shown people by quotations of
prices, that merchandise can be had
at very low rates now. They are
amply retarded for their enterprise
and faith. If all retail concerns had
done that, the business depression
would have been much less severe.

THEY JUST CAN'T LEARN

that they learned nothing good and

OLYMPIC TRYOUTS
DUE TO Be MOVED
Seem Sure to Be Held on
Coast, but Not in Stadium
at Los Angeles.
n TEw YORK, June 19.-It has

N YEW YORK, June 13-It has
~ been learned, on good authority,
that the 1882 American Olyln-
pic track and field tryouts
must be held elsewhere than in the
olympic Stadium in Los Angeles July
Is and 16, 1882.
There are two objections, either sufl-
cient to cause a change in the site:
First The stadium in which Olympic
games are staged must be closed and
turned over to the inspectors of the
International Federation two weeks be-
fore the start of the OlympicS. That
date would be July l6, 1882.
Second Members of the committee
handling the games in Los Angeles next
year feel that it is unsportSmanltke for
the American athletes to compete in
the stadium prior to the Olympic games,
as that would give the American team
considerable advantage in becoming
accustomed to the track and field
Los Angeles and the Olympic
Stadium We're selected by the olympic
Tracl; and Field Committee at lis meet
rg in Chicago May Is. 1t was the
aim of the committee to have the try
outs on the coast so that the athletes
would be aCclimated.
Therefore If change is to be made
it is likely the trycutS will be awarded
to San Francisco, Palo Alto Chome OF
Stanford University or Pasadena. The
latter is nearest the Olympic site and
it would appear, has the best chance to
land.
