He will not leave. He loves the place
and the company.
What to do?
Well, there is an old gag" worked
in many an ef1ce, but probably few
visitors ever have heard of it.
Unless, that is, they have worked 1t
themselves upon occasion.
We are talking, of course, Of the man
in of1ice without secretarial service
In order to get rid Of his unwelcome
guest of the moment he sometimes has
recourse to the following procedure:
Leaving his room for o moment, on
Of course, he does, he also speaks to an
associate a few well-chosen words.
He then returns to his desk.
Now what was it you were saying,
Mr.. Hokum?" he asks.
Mr.. Hokum Is willing to oblige.
He has been obliging for half an hour
and from the appearance of things he
still will be at it half hour hence.
Just then the telephone rings.
"You will excuse .me?" asks the kindly
man at desk.
Certainly" beams the other. He has

You want to see me right away?"
asks the man on the phone. why, Of
course"
Placing the receiver back on the hook,
he turns to the guest.
"I am sorry, but will have to go into
another part of the building. You are
at liberty to wait for me, OF course, but
may be a long time"
He leaves at once.
And that's the way it is worked.

The dog-in- the -manger attitude of
some men at desk is not to be praised.
It is not good business nor plain
everyday courtesy.
Still it does get things done and it
has that in its favor, if nothing more.
There is a mean, however, between
sullenly refusing to look up, unless
forced to, and the too pleasant greeting
of the always polite man.
No doubt 1t is fortunate for the world
that there are a great many Of the
latter, men everywhere who permit
themselves to be interfered with, in their
proper business, simply because they are
too polite to protest against such inter-
ference.
Many Of these know that certain per-
sons simply make good thing" out
of them by stopping to chat when a
blind man could see that they are busy.
1t is much to the credit of men at
desks that most of them are willing to
be courteous, even at their own expense.
Often the busiest people take time
out" for others when they ought not to
do so. They do it, however, because it
is the courteous thing to do.
They believe in everyday courtesy and
refuse to permit circumstances to make
them any other way.
Time praises them, because in the
end politeness and courtesy to others
is not wasted. 1t pays real dividends.

Urges Airways and Not
Subways for the Capital

To the Editor of The Star:
Why not an airways system of trans
portation for the Capital of the Nation?
This is the air age and in building in the
air you have the cosmic forces working
with YOU Have your landing places on
top of your tall buildings. Why is it that
humans will not think and work with
supreme energy? How much easier
everything would move along If we
humans worked with the movements of
the planets in our solar system. Discard
the idea of q subway under the Capital
Of the Nation. No one wants to be
underground, especially in this air age.
And what folly to suggest subway Just

to be there the next seven years!

 Hits and lO-O ShutOut
By LAWTON CARVER United Press Staff Corresponder

 New York, April 26-(UP)z-- Some of the major leagues out standing contenders for batting leadership today viewed averages that took a sharp drop yesterday in six outstanding pitching per. formances, four of them in the Na- tional league.
 John Babich, starting his first full season in the big show, tied the best of 1895 pitching with a one-hit game that gave Brooklyn to 0 victory over the Phillies.
 Maslin's single in the eighth was the only safety the former ace of the Missions Pacific coast league club allowed.
 The only other one-hitter of the season was pitched by Cy Blanton for the Pirates, but two others threatened.
 Wonderful:
 Lefty Vernon Wiltshire, 22 year old Athletics rookie, held the Sem ators to two hits as the As won a 10 to shutout. Singles by Sing ton and Lary were theonly hits off Wiltshire, while the As topped 15-hit splurge by grouping eight runs the third. Most of the rest of the days best pitching cropped out in the National league, one game developed into ahurling duel that snapped off the batters with eight hits for both sides as Roy Parmalee held the Braves to three hits and won to 1 for the Giants.
 Ben Cantwell gave the Giants only five hits in seven innings and Benton gave up none in the lasf two rounds, but Nell Ott's homer in the fourth with one on won for the Giants, and Wally Berger's cir. suit smash in the seventh gave Boston its only run.
 Ben Frey of Cincinnati held Pittsburg to 6 to o shutout by scattering six hits, emerging from holes on three Red double plays and getting some batting support from Kampouris, who drove in three runs and scored three. The Reds made nine hits off Hoyt and Osborne.
 Daffy Drubbcd
 Paul Dean went in as relief pitcher for the Cards and was charged with 2 to 5 defeat ad- ministered by the Cubs. Both sides hit freely against an assortment of pitchers, Hartnett's double In the eighth off Dean bringing the Cubs in. Klein homered with two on in the fifth.
 The Yankees made F hits while Broaca was hurling seven hit game, second best performance III the American league for the day, to. beat the Red Sox, 12 to 4. and permit Cleveland, winner over. St Louis, z to 6, to climb into first | place.
 Hal Trosky's homer with one on in the seventh gave the Indians the | victory.
 The White Sox piled up nine hits and as many runs on Schoolboy Rowe in four innings, chased him to the showers and went on to 9 to 8 victory over the Tigers who have won only two games out Of nine.
