Rules for Office
Behavior

Remember that good manners
and courtesy mark a persons true
character in a business office as
truly as they do at a dinner party"
"Be sparing in the exercise of
your charm. Most bosses prefer to
pick their own charmers-after
business hours"
Don't strive for too striking col
or combinations in your office ap-
parel. Unless you have a very ex-
tensive wardrobe your confreres
will become all too familiar with
the rotation of costumes"
Don't be a telephone chatterer.
Personal conversation in an office
should be kept brief and subdued.
Bill collectors and beaux should get
the same irnpersonal attention from
nine until FIVE"
Smoking during working hours
is usually INDUCED in only by execu-
tives."
Don't take out your bad temper
on the switchboard operator, she
can't talk back, and may have had
bad night, too"
"The person who makes a phone
call should end the conversation.
She is also the one to call back if
the telephone conversation is dis
connected"
"An personal belongings such as
makeup kits, compacts, etc., should
be kept out of sight. Do your touch
ing up in the powder room"
eff you are in dignified Office
never appear without stockings. It
is not only bad form but your legs
look better when cladi"
Don't keep other employees from
doing their work by telling them
about your personal doings. Night
before "reminiscences are for lunch
time chatter"
''The top of your desk should con-
tain only the essentials for ones i'm
mediate work. Cluttered desks
speak of sloppy work"

Heflin Defeated
BY New Dealer
In Alabama Vote

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, (CNA)
Former Senator Tom Heflin, no.
torious Negro-hater, went down to
defeat in Alabama's Senatorial
primary this week. Heflin was APP
parently defeated 2 to 1 by Lis
ter Hill, former U. S. Represent
alive, and New Deal supporter.
Helm had opposed many New
Deal measures, and his defeat is
interpreted here as indicating wide
spread support by the masses of
workers and farmers and sections
of the middle class for President
Roosevelt's policies.
Hill had the support of both the
CLIO and the A F of L and of the
State Board of the Farmers I'm
ion, Railroad Brotherhood, the
Farm Bureau organization, and
many Negro organizations.
While the total State vote was
a light one, the issues of the fight
to fill Supreme Court Justice HUI
go Blacks Senate seat were sharp
ly outlined by both candidates. Hill
pledged himself to support the
New Deal and specifically the
Wages and Hours bill as well as
judiciary reform.
Heflin, known throughout the
South as a bigoted tool of the
plantation owners, had opposed
both the Wages and Hours Bill
and the court reform program.
Even the white farmers, whom he
counted on especially, remembered
that during his 80 years in Con-
gress as a Representative and a
Senator, he had introduced only
one piece of legislation, a proc
lamation of Mothers Day, and had
opposed many bills designed to aid
them.
Hills flat refusal to support the
Federal Anti-Lynching Bill in Con-
gress brought sharp criticism from
both white and Negro sections of
the population. The Right to Vote
Club of Birmingham protested his
stand on the Anti-Lynching Bill,
but advised him of their endorse
ment on the basis of his general
progressive character.

of the theatre.
Mrs. Almond went to the the

Mrs. Audrey Tilden and took seats
on the main floor which under the
jim-crow practices of the theatre
is reserved for white patrons only
When they ignored an order by
white usher to move to the jim

ticket taker to assist her. He
threatened and abused the two wo-

dislocated her shoulder joint.

The Washington
Browns Leases
Yakima Park

Edward Porter, sponsor of the
Washington Browns baseball team,
has leased the Yakima high school
athletic field for the playing sea-
son of 1888 for the purpose of in
viting all good semi-pro clubs to
come and play them at home.
Who are the Washington
Browns? The Browns are an ag-
gregation of baseball players that
formally played ball for the Piney-
woods school OF Mississippi under
the name of the st. Louis Blues.
They are recognized as one of
the best semi-pro clubs on the road
and since they have been taken
over by Mr.. Porter, they have
made a wonderful showing in the
Northwest.
Porter hopes to have an even
stronger team this year than last
year, realizing that, to take the
place of the Yakima Indians he
will have to make a real ball team
out of the Browns.
When the Browns are not play
ing at home, they hope to keep
busy playing other towns in the
Northwest, states manager Porter
who further states that under the
superb pitching of Bill Yates, Earl
Woodson, and Lefty Taylor, and
the colorful catching of Joe Cas-
ton, and the sensational Unfolding
of Sherman Davis and B. F. Trim
BILE, the great outfielding of Frank
Mcintosh, and Steel Arm Davis
they will be hard to beat.
They defeated such teams as

John Tucker House of Davids, the
Renton Miners, who are the cham
pions of the Northwest League for
the year 1887.

in a date between engagements,
thereby making it possible for the
citizens of the Northwest to have
the pleasure of dancing to his
famed music.
Seldom is il possible to secure
the services of famous orchestras,
the sponsors who went out of their
way to make this date possible are
to be commended. In the regular
bulletin issued by the Trianon Ball

Fletcher surrounded himself by

through their recent nightly broad

the famed Grand Terrace in Chica-
CO. Nightly during the past year
the "Sepia King of Swing" and his
orchestra have played to a turn

this popular leader has grown by
leaps and bounds.
The excellence of Henderson's
music is so well known there is no
need for further elaboration. He is
graduate of Atlantic University
He studied chemistry in New York
and then took up music as a pro-
fession, playing piano in a ma
tionally popular band.
When the vogue for swing music
came in, Henderson almost over
