Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

It wasn't hard to find the
man who had put in the ad.
He was hard at it, with three
other men, building an automo-
bile camp beside a new high
way extension. He didn't look
in the least like a ''bloated capi-
talist." He was a shabby,
bent, middle-aged American
evidently tired and nagged by
the difficulties of licking a
raw crew into shape. When I
told him about the letters, he
snorted-looked m a d-t h e n
said this
"Yes, I suppose it does make
them sore to think of taking
less. than regular wages, but
why blame me? I'm not re-
sponsible just because things
have taken a shift. It's as
hard on me as it is on them.
They spent a lot of time work
ing themselves up to $9-Weu,
I spent a lot of time, too, work
ing up this little contracting
business I got.
A Lasting Change
And now here we are, with
the prices on everything chang
ing. Some folks call it depres-
sion. Think We'll get over it..
Personally, I think it means a
lasting change all along the line.
But whether it's here for keeps
or not-this much is sure g.
we're all in the same boat.
II can't ask as much for my
jobs as I used to. Then why
should they expect as much for
their labor? If I give them the
regular old wages, I'll have to
quit-that's all. And a lot Of
businesses have had to quit,
just on that account. But if
I can get men to work for 81,
why, I can keep going-and so
can they. Isn't that better than
trying to hold up the old wage
schedule and having to quit?
I'm not trying to gouge 'em.
I'm just trying to keep things
going until we all know where
we are"
A sensible and fair enough
answer. And yet

Let Them Think!

Let Them Think!
AS head of department do
you stifle the originality of
those under you?
Do you make it necessary for
each one in place where he
might use creative genius to fol-
low a straight, prescribed course
of your own making?
No two persons work alike, be-
cause they don't think alike.
Therefore when an employe
must become a replica of the
man over him, he loses the initi-
ative and power he might other
wise possess.
He is not himself and he
can't be the other person in
production.
Men have different methods
of arriving at a given result.
Thinking persons have estab-
lished avenues through which
they can best reach a certain
destination.
To be hampered and confined
to set rules in calling that is
not purely mechanical is to de-
stroy a certain efficiency that is
desirable.
Mr.. Manager, perhaps that is
why you don't get the best out
of your men?
You want to dictate each
move, where, when and how.
In their efforts, your help are
paying more attention to the
fulfilling of your dictation than
they are to the common sense
the finished product.
Directions should be few and
fundamental rather than spe-
cific.
Every employe should be per-
mitted to do some thinking and
planning.

means more than a temporary
shrinkage of pay envelopes. It
means that something is hap

For the good? Or the bad?

facts. Judge for yourself.
A certain man inserted the
following notice in the want

"CarpenterS-5-rOugh work;

BY the next morning, "a let
ters commenting on that ad
had arrived at this department.
The writer's were all indignant
and voiced much the same argu-
ment. Something should be
done about an offer like that!
That man was taking advan-
tage of the workers misfor-
tune to grind them down to
slave wages. Who ever heard
of skilled carpenters working
for 81 a day? The union
wage (in the State in which
this ad appeared was SO a
day. It took a man years of
hard work, as an apprentice, to
put that price on his work.
And then some bloated CAPT.

years count for nothing, just
because this winter had put
men in aStight hole and their
families were starving. A man
like that was no better than a
stick-up gangster.
Reason for Anger
Angry letters. And, after
watching the breadlineS this
winter, one couldn't help feel

their anger. Seeing their life's

in the same general plane as
that of the earth's orbit, the
ecliptic.

known to Laplace, revolve about
their respective planets in this
same counter-clockwise direction
as the planets themselves ro-

Of Saturn, a cosmic residue of
a former stage in the evolu-

thrown off by revolving masses,
become planets.
Many discoveries made since
Laplace's time refute his theory.
Dynamics now teaches that
material scattered widely in a
ring will never by it's own
gravitation gather itself to-
gether into a planet. Four
satellites Of Uranus are found
to be going the wrong way to
suit Laplace. One Of the two
inner moons of Mars is re-
volving about the planet faster
than the planet rotates upon
it's axis; and this won't suit
Laplace. Satellites of Jupiter
and even minor planets go the
wrong way round; and even
the orbits of many small
planets have their planes too
badly tilted to suit Laplace.

Shorter Hours For
Shop Employees

Editor, Times:
The Government employees
have succeeded in getting a
five-and-one-half day a week.
What about the poor store
clerks who work eight hours a
day, and are docked for every
hour they lose?
Their wages are very small,
from $40 to $3.50 a week. No
sick, and in many places no
annual leave is given.
This is the Capital of the
nation, and it appears to be the
only city where the stores re-
main open until s o'clock each
day for the benefit of the Gov
ernment clerks. Much has been
done to relieve the hardshipS
of the Government employees
but nothing is ever said or lit
tie done toward tightening the
burden of the overworked store
employees.
I have noticed many editor
ials in The Times pleading the
cause for the Government
clerks, but I do not recollect
ever having seen anything ap-
pearing in your paper sponsor
ing shorter hours, and more
pay for the store clerks.

The history OF science Is q
history of comprehensive ana
plausible generations. After the
generalization, deca ! e S. ana
sometimes centuries are con-
suned in working out the de-
tails and consequences OF the
generalization or comprenenc.
sive theory. In the course OF
time, it may be, new pheno-
mena of nature are discovered
unknown to the original pro-
pounder of the theory, which
do not conform to the theory
and cannot be made to fit into
it. Two avenues are then open
to science; either to modify the
theory in such a way as to in
clude all the original facts EN-"
braced by the theory, END the
new facts which do not con-
form to it; or else, to scrap
the theory and replace It with
an entirely new and different
theory.
No cosmogony, or theory of
the beginning and course OF
evolution of the cosmos, has
proved entirely satisfactory.
The most successful ever de-
vised was that advanced by
Pierre Simon Laplace, which
held sway as the "nebular hy-
pothesis" until quite recent
years. The tendency among
astronomers is to reject it in
favor of a new theory ad-
vanced by Chamberlin and
Moulton under the name Of
the "planetesimal hypothesis" >"
with certain m d Fl C a tions
known as the tidal theory"
put forward by Darwin, JEFF
freys and Jeans.
Features of the Theory
What are the grounds for
the rejection of the famous
"nebular hypothesis" which
held the field for so long, and
had come to be accepted al
most as scientific gospel?" To
understand the hitch, we shall
set down the fundamental fea-
lures of the nebular hypothe-
sis, as outlined by Harlan True
Stetson in the excellent work,

lowing astronomical facts are

Editor, Times:
The press of this date seems

men, Daniel Willard. The out

and toward whom the work
men feel as a father. The one
man who every workman on
his railroad when speaking Of
him is boastful to the extent
that II am blest in being

in the golden rule. He is one
of the few who harkens to
the command Of being his

My thought is that Mr..

say in private as to the
affiliation of a labor organiza-

Marriage as a Speculation
"Why I Never Married" is
the caption over a current
series of confessions. Any
woman could answer that with
out a moments hesitation.
When a man or woman stays
single it is always for a good,
big reason. But if somebody
should ask why we DID marry,
lots of women would have to
stop and think a long time be-
fore replying. Our reasons are
so hazy and frivolous, these
days.
Once, there was no question
about it. If you didn't marry,
you were a failure in the eyes
Of the world and a bitter dis
appointment to the family.
LaurelS were no substitute for
orange blossoms; and a we'd
ding ring was a greater prize
than a college degree or a
loving cup.
But all that is OUT-as
quaint as a joke about a horse
and buggy! Girls, as well as
young men, are beginning to
look upon marriage as a gamble
rather than as goal. And a
husband is regarded as a specu-
lation rather than as life's
greatest necessity.
In the sweet old days, when
every married man was a HUS-
BAND and never forgot it, mar
riage was a feather in your
cap. But, in these days, when
SO many husbands are merely
married bachelors. it is just as
apt to be a tack in the shoe.
