The Indian cup belongs to the

"kinfolks" this one has to do some-
thing to keep up with them. So 1t
has-with its leaves, and it is in them
we find the interesting story.
These leaves grow opposite and are
united at their base, where they form
a cup. The lower leaves are very
large, with coarse teeth and narrowed
into margined petioles. The stems
and leaves are filled with resinous
juice for which the Indians had many
uses.
The cup plant is thrifty about her
water supply. She is often q home
steader on the dry prairie and needs
to conserve all the moisture she can.
So the cup-shaped leaves form q res,

excess moisture to the roots.
With this collected water. the plant
often finds itself with several. II not q
dozen insects that have departed this
lie and are now in the cup. This
condition sometimes has q very dif-
ferent result from that which belongs
in the life story Of the cup plant. For
some birds, learning Of the state OF
affairs, visit the flower and often feast
on the seeds matured by the plant for
future cup plants, and also some feast
on the insects.
The flowers are yellow and numer-

| suggest that employees be given the
right to look at the doctors certifi-
Gates of their employers.) l don't re-
quire my boss to be Olympic-team
material. or even an "ex-athlete." l
ask that he be reasonably fit, as the
life insurance companies measure fit
ness. The more power man has, the
more far-reaching are the effects of his
illnesses. l have seen good businesses
wrecked by dyspepsia.
FlRMNESs: My boss should hold me
responsible for whdt I hare to do: b"t he
should not interfere in its doing. If he's
indifferent, where are: the mutual
stimulus that should be part of our
relationship, the incentive of merited
praise, the spur of deserved blame'
And if my boss makes me do in his
way what l ought to be allowed to do
in my own way - what will become
of my self-reliance?
FAIRNESS: A mans religion is his
own affair; and realize I'm starting
something when l talk about that side
of the life of the man work for. Never
theless, will 60 on record as stating
that like my livelihood to be in the
hands of man who has some religious
affiliation. Perhaps this world is all
there is to our existence; but l think
our life here is only part of the story.
At any rate, if my boss can hare q better
guide than the Golden Rule, ii hasn't
been called to my attention.
This means that want my boss to
be fair - to know capacity when he
sees it - to recognize loyalty when he
meets it. If he's that sort of person,
he won't play favorites - even in my
case. So, may not get ahead as fast
as the next fellow. But what sort OF
worker would be if were unwilling
to take my chances on that?
There are exceptions to all rules.
Neither traffic cop nor psyche
analyst can be sure of what man is
going to do. But, if my boss is sub
stantially the man I've described -
then. on balance, he's all right by me.
I'll work for him and feel, in working
for him, that I'm getting somewhere.
and helping him to get somewhere in
his business
And it's all to the good, if my boss
also has:
The sense of humor, which lightens
the days labor - for sometimes it's
long.
The ability to give brief and clear
instructions - for the factor of error
is always with us.
The hearty handshake and robust
spirits which communicate courage -
for, now and then, need lift just as
he does.

AM one of those employees who has
always been in daily contact with
the man | work for I've given,
therefore, a good deal of thought
to the sort of man l want to work for:
AGE: My boss shouldn't be too old
for his job If he's that old, he's out OF
step with life. whether he knows it or
not. Above all - when it comes to the
daily, run-of-the-mill work - he must
be able to take it and like it.
Ifhe's too young, on the other hand.
he hasn't had time to learn his busi-
ness. The job will probably run him.
instead of his running the job. He will
tend to mistrust his own judgments -
even, perhaps, when he thinks I'm
pretty good.
PHYSIQUE: My boss shouldn't be
too fat. Excessive avoirdupois may
mean there is something wrong with
one or more of the glands, which regu-
late personality as we'll as weight. HIS
character. along Wiih his corpus. may
bulge in the wrong places. There's as
much to the tradition of certain regl-
ments of the British Army that the
colonel must be thin and no officer
fatter than his colonel, as there is to
the popular belief that fat men are
good-natured and broad-minded.
He shouldn't be too thin, either -
or too tall, or too short If he is, you
can be pretty sure that he has often
envied better-proportioned men. And,
envy, at the root of mans character,
is as dangerous as dynamite.
HOME LIFE: My boss should be
habbily married. If he isn't, he's apt to
have completes, and show the effect
of Illustrations - throw his weight
about the Office, either because he
can't shift his position freely at home
or because he's formed the habit of
asserting himself in the domestic
circle and forgets to lower his voice
when he comes to business.
Bachelors, divorced men and widow
ers are sometimes as difficult to work
for as unhappily-married men. They
seldom have the proper sense OF pro-
portion about their jobs. They blow
hot and cold. Without warning. they
make the office their home - with all
that this means to those who have to
stick around as long as they do. Again.
they try to do their business on the
golf course.
And | want the man work for to
have children. All fathers are brothers
under the skin. Same things to worry
about and to stick out their chests
over! Children, Furthermore, have
habit of emphasizing "home truths
until they sink in; and the better the
man | work for knows himself, the
better I'm pleased.
HEALTH: My boss should be in good

And do people up here know about
