Old Age Specter

One morning-and it hadn't
been many months before
Henry had heard himself re-
ferred to as "the old man"
It had been something of a
shock at first because Henry
was by no means an old man.
He was only so years of age,
and he was still the most
dependable clerk in the entire
organization. Old man, indeed!
AS he thought it over, how
ever, Henry began to smile to
himself. The old man." 1t
wasn't a bad title when you
got to thinking about it. 1t
had something of an affection
ate ring to it. Then, too. it
meant that the office realized
that he was past the follies
of youth-and that he was
the ideal. middle-aged, conSer-
vative worker Not bad. Not
bad at all
But now everything was diff
ferent. Terribly different.
Henry reached his tiny apart
ment and threw himself on the
bed. He twisted and he turned.
No use fooling himself now.
Those experts would have little
use for a timid old soul such
as he. Impressed clothes. Un-
kempt hair. serva tive
methods. And-worst Of all
an old man.
Henry clenched his fists.
For the first time in his life
he was actually fighting for
something. Somewhere, some
how, he must find some way
of beating this thing that was
out to crush him. 1t was
absurd for him to subscribe
to the belief that that he was
an old man. He Wasn't-and

Henry Is Worried

Before going on, let's take a.
short glance at Henry's back
ground. Henry's great fault was
that he was far too conserva-
tive. Did you ever meet one of
those birds who lean back and
say with sigh: "Ah, if I had
only taken one little risk among
my many chances, what
happy man I'd be today?"
Certainly you have. Well, that
was Henry. With the exception
of the fact that Henry was
too conservative even to make
such a statement.
The mans parents had been
extremely conservative, and
Henry was All only son. If that
last statement sounds strange,
please blame it on the heat.
In school, he was a model
youth. Dull-but model. While
the other kids were playing,
Henry was reading. He plod-
ded through college without re-
aliZing that there might be
something in collegiate life in
addition to study.
When he graduated, he
wanted nothing flighty for a
career. He answered an adver-
tisement that had been inserted
by an old and sturdy manufac-
turing company. They placed
him in the clerical department
and there he remained. He
was in his proper groove;
slow, methodical, conservative
groove.
The years marched by. Time
after time, during his term OF
employment, far less talented
men passed him and entered
executive positions. There wasn't
a doubt in thc world that he
understood the business better
than these other men-but
Henry never talked about it.
AS he himself could have told
you, he was earning a decent
salary and leading a decent
life. Could anyone ask for

Efficiency Fear
Henry coughed. He sum-
moned the boy
James" he said, Ell
happened to overhear a por-
ton of your conversation, al
though 1 hasten to assure you
that 1 was not eavesdropping.
When you spoke about eff
cheney men, you-er-you were
joking, were you not?"
Yes, that was Henry's usual
line of lingo. 1t was like
him to call the office boy
James when everybody else
called him Jimmy. 1t was like
him to use a type of speech
that was pedantic and stilted.
The boy was talking again.
Hell, no, Henry. I wasn't
kidding. It's strictly on the
up and up. Two efficiency
birds will show up the first
thing in the morning. The

there'll be plenty of folks fired

Is out.
Hope you amt one of them,
Henry, old boy. And that goes
for me, too"
Henry walked home that
night. 1t was almost five miles
from the office to his home,
but he walked the distance
and he could have gone on
much further. For the mans
mind was in a turmoil. A
great fear was lurking there
now; the fear that he would
be thrown out of employment.
When the experts began to
chop, surely the older men
would go first. And Henry

the office the next morning
Henry found the two efficiency
experts already on the job. He
said nothing; just walked to
his desk with a trace Of q
smile. Three or four times
during the morning he softly
whistled the chorus of Life Is
Just a Bowl of Cherries"-and
those who heard him looked on
in amazement. Henry whiS-
tling! 1t was unbelievable.
But the big shock was re-
served for a later hour. For
the first time in the 20 years
he had been with the firm,
Henry took two hours for lunch.
And when he returned, it was
a miracle that the entire Of
flee force didn't collapse in a
faint.
For there stood Henry in a
pair of cream-colored trousers,
a sporty blue coat, a pair Of
suede shoes and a light red tie.
His hair was slicked back, and
he tossed off the choice aroma
of walking barber shop. He
stepped to his desk with a
springy tread-and winked at

SIDESHOW FOR

NEW YORK. Jan. 4. (U.P) - The
CulbertSon-Lenz contract bri d 6 e
match, is becoming a sideshow Of
dowagcrs and a. vista of boiled
shirts.
While Sidney Lenz and Com
mander Winfield Liggett, Jr,, were
chopping 3385 points off the COM
manding lead established by Ely
and Josephine Culbertson, last
nights session turned into such a
swirl of high society folks that a
squad of subway guards was need
ed to keep everybody standing up.
The Culbertsons' lead still stands
at 1886 points, with only 81 rub
bcrs to 60. But they were not
worried by the loss, despite the
many "ohs' and abs in the COR
ridor, press room and behind the
peep screen in the playing room.
And the size of those 1882 dow
ayers is something to startle you.

The Champ has been declared
one of the outstanding pictures of

that it is entitled to the distinction.
