Fallacy About Gals

Writing in Personnel Admins
tration," official organ for the So
ciety Of Personnel Administration,
Richard w. Cooper presents an
extensive analysis of leave as re-
ported by an unnamed agency
which is probably Agriculture
First is that the most important
influence on the amount of leave
taken per employe is salary
Second is that women take ap-
proximately the same amount of
sick leave as men-if compared
with the latter on the same sal
ary levels-thus blasting a gener-
ally believed fallacy In the
matter of total sick leave women
were found to take 8.4 days an
nually as compared to 4.8 days by
men. but further study showed
that men at the $1.260 and 81 800
levels took more leave than the
women in the same grades
And it is pointed out that most
women are in the lower grades
hence they are charged with tax
ing more leave when an entire
office is considered.

MASKING the Masher

Both were clerking in the same
section of AAA, but he was I'm
able to make any impression on
his dream girl. He wined her,
dined her, and even became a jit-
terbug for sweet loves sake, but
still could not become her "one
and only. Finally, in despera-
ton, he played his ace card by
advising her that he had talked
it over with his dad, an Aggie
minor mogul, and that unless She
melted she'd have no job. :.
Climax: After the sting and sore
ness left his Redeemed cheek he
became very docile and now has
ceased the pursuit.
