PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has
boss; name: Chandler.
Chandler is the only person
who dares break in on White
House conferences. Supreme
Court, taxes, the budget, the
farm situation, the threat Of war
- all are discussed while Chand-
ler occupies an important place
in the group.
She is three years old, the
daughter of Elliott; she comes up
from Texas occasionally on
visit. Looks like Alice in Wonder
land and is adored by the whole
household. Has little to say, but
strong opinions. Asked by Mrs.
Roosevelt what she wanted for
her birthday, she answered imme-
diately, "A big rocking horse -
maybe two rocking horses -
with a blanket
She got both the blanket and
the horse, and named the horse
"Ginger. On a trip she per-
suaded her father to stop in one of
his busy hours and send the cook
in Texas a telegram reminding
her to put the blanket on Ginger
that night.
Chandler arrived at the White
House one day in the midst of an
important discussion on national
problems. The door of the Presi-
dents study was ajar. She walked
in, put her cheek against his and
said, 'My grandpa" and then
climbed onto his lap.
No one has stopped her at
tendance at national meetings.
She never speaks at them or
talks about them afterwards.

mended Ida Rockwell for the
- position of Section Head. 1t
meant an increase to SIS a
week for Miss Rockwell. The following
Friday a memorandum came back
from the Personnel Office: miss
Green is being transferred to your
Division as Section Head. Miss Rock
wells present personality rating, es-
pecially in Tact and 'Co-operation,'
makes her appointment impossible ac-
cording to the rules of this Office"
That was that. Ida Rockwelps oppor-
tunity to rise from the ranks was gone.
Her next chance - when?
Behind these facts lay a trite little
drama of Office jealousy, the sort of
thing that happens everywhere, six
days a week. Ida had done splendid
work for years, advancing slowly but
surely. Then another girl had been
promoted, apparently out of turn, to
be the Chiefs assistant Ida became
intensely jealous. She resented the
other girls authority and made petty
trouble for her whenever she could.
She left undone certain work which
might technically be classified as the
other girls duty, thereby upsetting
the teamwork of the office. She made
under-cover attacks in the form of
gossip. In short, her stupid jealousy
changed her from an eager, co-opera-
tive worker to sour, stand -ofish
troublemaker.
Ida was the only one to suffer. The
fruits of long, faithful years were lost
with her drop in personnel rating.
Jealousy, like any virulent germ, is
something you cannot afford to enter
tain. If your system is ripe for infection
the resulting disease may prove ex-
tremely serious.

Try Living
een-eyed goddess is dangerous mistress
by WILLIAM MOULTON MARSTON

''In the first place." | told him, "the
man who got the job may not be nearly
as brainless as you think. The chances
are he makes himself useful to the boss
in many legitimate ways besides acting
as his stooge. The fact that he did get
the job and you didn't is proof in itself
that his technique is superior to yours
in that particular situation. You'll get
nowhere by denying the fact. You
may get somewhere by studying your
rivals methods with an attitude of
friendly admiration for his success.
"In the second place, if you've got
to get sore about the injustice of it,
direct your soreness at the boss, who is
really responsible, not at the employee.
State your protest like man and get it
out Of your system, even if you are
fired in consequence. The best job in
the world isn't worth a continually
repressed hatred of the people you
work with"
Jealous people are always relieving
their repressed bitterness by knocking
those whom they secretly believe to be
more successful than themselves. But
it is one of the cardinal rules of good
salesmanship never to disparage rivals.
When a salesman breaks this rule it
doesn't take an exceptionally intelli
gent buyer to perceive that he is
motivated by jealousy.
When you're close to the end of
race and you see your rival fash by
you into the lead, it is sometimes diff
cult to control your feelings. The
Green-Eyed Goddess whispers that the
other fellow won on a foul. If you lis
ten, she will weave convincing tale of
malice and intrigue - for jealousy is
an alluring jade.
But if you remember in time that
the Green-Eyed One is vampire,
feeding only on her followers, you will
brush the emotional mists from your
eyes, set your jaw, congratulate your
rival on his success - and 60 on lioing.

Oc1AvUs Roy COHEN sold his
first story in 1913. Since then he
has written thirty-seven books,
thirty-6ve motion pictures, FIVE
plays and hundreds of short
stories. He is said to have had
more short stories published than
any other living author.
He loves tennis, bridge and
dancing, his partner on the dance
floor usually being his attractive
wife, 1nez.
Cohen has taught the nation to
say "Bummingham," but he
spends most of his time now in
New York. Besides his stories of
Florian Slappey, he has written
six books around the genial detec-
tive Jim Hardy. Two of his most
recent novels, "Scarlet Woman"
and transient Lady," have been
of serious nature, and are re-
garded by many as the finest
things he has written. Coming
soon in THIS WEEK:

n YOUTH in his teens named
Grover Jones trekked to Cali

came carpenters assistant in a
studio. That was 1913. He got
promoted, and soon found HIM
self building stories instead of
gilt sets. By 1925 he was ace
scenarist of a big studio.
Being an ambidextrous sort of
person, he decided to enter the
magazine field. And not content
with furnishing fiction and articles
to national periodicals, he started
a small magazine himself, as sort
of busman's holiday.
Despite his success, he has no
superior feelings about his art.
It's just a good, honest, efficient
art. When he was asked recently
to write a story for a picture
tobe called "Fifty-second Street"
he answered straight to the
point: "Sure, I'll do it; but
wh<r< IS Fifty-second Street"
Mr.. Jones may not know his
Fifty-second Street, but we can
guarantee you that he knows his
way about among the most CLAM

When a man becomes indiffer-

long, to say nothing of his home,
his wife and his children.
Sometimes such a man has a
lucid interval and pulls up before
the gutter gets him. But again, it's
a case of down, down, down.
While everyone will sympathize
with a sorely tried wife's tempta-

get her troubles, it's a time for her
to cling to the straight and narrow

"The Chameleon"-You are the
one to be pleased about your hair,
so if you feel you would like to
change the color of it every time
you change your costume, that is
really your own affair. You have
already had my advice and the
advice Of your hairdresser, as you
say she told you never to bleach
or dye it again. You may have
unusual hair, but I have never
known anyone whose hair would
endure the drastic treatment of a
change Of dye or bleach every
day, or when the costume is
changed.
When hair has become dry and
harsh from too frequent changes
of coloring, it is advisable to cut
off the dry ends and then give
the hair oil treatments. Persons
such as actresses who are before
the public find it necessary to
cover the short hair with a wig
until the hair grows out in its
natural color.
There is no reason why you
should wear gray hair If you dis
like it, provided the dye is not In
furious to you. However, there
must be some reason for the hair
dresser advising you to let your
hair alone and never use bleach
or dye again.

it, if in their Judgment it is advis

Beauty Advice

A s you probably know,
"A Good Housekeeping Maga.
zine has a Beauty Clinic, "
which works somewhat in the
manner of their famous "Insti-
tute," in recommending prod
ucts, and giving advice. Ruth
Murrin, beauty editor, has
many helpful suggestions in
each issue, and this month we
find her devoting some time
to creams for the neck. With
low-cut gowns coming back for
evening, it's most essential that
throat and neck appearance
should be good. She says that
eff you have a red triangle at
the base of your throat, or if
your neck is rough and lined,
use plenty of rich cream at
night. Massage it in thor
oughly with the palm of your
hands, sweeping upward to-
ward the jaw, then toward the
back. Slap under the chin with
the back of your hand and
knead upward along the
muscle that extends from your
shoulder up toward the ear.
The cream and massage both
help to keep your neck firm
and unwrinkled."
