Such popularity potions aren't a
new idea. The witch doctors of saw
age tribes in various parts of the
world have been peddling such
things for years. Their customers
apparently believe in them, too, be-
cause the witch doctors keep their
jobs-and their heads.
But unfortunately, we young mod
erns don't know any witch doctors.
A lot of us would like to get hold
of popularity prescription, but no.
body seems to have the formula.
So we 60 along, wondering why we
don't click" hoping for the magic
draft or the mystic word that will
make everybody like US.
There Is Formula
For Popularity.
But, oddly enough, there is a
formula which comes pretty close to
being just what the doctor ordered,
as far as insuring popularity is con-
cerned. It's so simple that most of
us never think of it. Yet its very
simplicity makes it possible for
everybody to us it. Here it is-and
you can put that 70 cents right
back in your pocket:
IF you want people to like you,
make them feel important, desir-
able, appreciated
That statement can be backed up
with lot of very sound reasoning
based on what psychologists know
about human beings and what
makes them tick. But let's look at
couple of examples.
Gene would like to be popular,
but people just don't like him. It's
strange, too, because hes brainy
and good looking. He dresses well.
and he's a track letter man in his
high school.
But other fellows don't enjoy his
company because he has a superior
attitude toward them. If they miss
an algebra problem he points out
how easy it is, implying that only
stupe could tumble it. If he wins
the 220 he gloats, if he loses he is
grudging in his praise of the win
ner. His conversation is witty. but
his cracks are always aimed at
somebody's weak spot.
Girls Don't Like
This Attitude.
He doesn't go over with girls.
either. Every date is merely an
opportunity for Gene to glorify
Gene. He talks about himself con-
stantly. He spends money freely
but showily The girl is merely a
background against which he can
preen himself
Nobody, fellow or girl, enjoys be-
ing with him. because he makes
his companions feel unimportant
He is always building himself up
and tearing them down by COM

Ill at ease, dissatisfied, resentful.
Ruth, on the other hand, enjoys
degree of popularity which is
puzzllng to a lot of people. She
isn't particularly good looking, and
she hasn't closet full of clothes.
shes no glamour girl, and nobody
ever accused her of being a master
mind. Yet she's almost universally
liked by other girls. and she has
more dates than history exam.
Ruth Is genuinely, sincerely and
vitality interested in other people.
If Sally appears in new dress.
Ruth is sure to notice it and to
make an intelligent comment upon
1t. There's no envy in her admira-
ton. She shares Sally's pleasure in
the dress-and Sally loves her for it.
If Bob Cor Ben or Bib calls her
Tor a date, Ruth'S voice contains
an unmistakable thrill of pleasure
as she accepts. Bob gets kick out
OF that. Then on the date itself
Ruth makes Bob feel that he's quite
fellow simply by having a grand
time and being frankly appreciative
of the attention he is showing her.
She makes Bob feel important. And
he's eager to see her again to get
more OF the same pleasant medi-
cine.
Ruth uses our popularity prescrip-
tlon-and Gene doesn't. 1t isn't
just an act with Ruth, either. It's
a vital, living expression of her
deep and genuine liking for other
people. It's habit, way of think
ing and acting, an attitude that is
as much a part of Ruth's person.
allty as her voice or her smile. And
it's an attitude that comes as close
to magic formula for popularity
as anything can.
One of these days Gene will get
wise, too. He'll stop thinking
about himself all the time. He'll
become interested in other people
He'll stop tearing them down or
using their weaknesses to boost his
own self-esteem. He'll begin to
show them that he thinks they are
important and interesting. And
then they'll like him, as they now
like Ruth.

The Maryland Police Association in
quarterly convention yesterday went
on record as favoring legislation
which would make pedestrians re-
sponsible for accidents if jaywalk-
ing.
The resolution was submitted on
the contention that many persons
are injured because they violate
pedestrian regulations and ignore
pedestrian lanes in crossing streets.

which urged that all law enforce
ment officers be paid regular salaries

The resolution was offered~ by

arrests made.

Thomas Optimistic
For Action on
Labor Act
More Than 100 Witnesses
Desire to Tell What
Is Wrong With Law
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Unlike other members of the
Senate Labor Committee, Chairman
Thomas said today he still held hope
of action at this session of Congress
on amendments to the National
Labor Relations Act.
The chief difficulty, he said, is that
more than 100 witnesses still want
to tell the committee what is wrong
with the act and its administration.
A subcommittee yesterday heard
two styled former Strike-breakers
express the view that two provisions
of the La Toilette bill designed to
curb oppressive labor practices would
have little effect on strike breaking
agencies.
These provisions would outlaw
labor espionage reports, written or
verbal, and make it unlawful for the
employer at plant where a strike
was in progress to pay replacement
workers higher wages than the
strikers had been getting.
The witnesses. C. M. Red Kuhl
of Youngstown, Ohio, and Paul Meg
CART of Cleveland, said a strike
breakers job consisted principally
of discrediting strikers, disrupting
unions and other activities on which
no reports were needed.
Strikebreakers' chief compensa-
ton, he added. came from thievery
in the factories where they worked,
with apparently full knowledge of
the companies, who wrote off the
losses as part of the cost Of break
ing the strikes Kuhl said that dur
ing a New Orleans car strike the
strikebreakers kept all the fares they
collected.

Bill Asks Department
Of Public Health

Creation OF a Federal Department
OF Public Health as an independent
agency and the establishment of a
United States Medical and Surgical
College in the District is proposed
in bill introduced today by Char
man May of the House Military Al
fairs Committee.
The primary purpose is to provide
therapeutic aid for the INDECENT and
unemployed needy, to enable the
lower income group to buy suitable
health insurance, and to coordinate
all public health services in one in
dependent agency with an ade-
quately trained personnel.
Chairman May emphasized that
this measure would redeem a Demo-
cratic platform pledge in 1886 to
coordinate all governmental agen-
cies when found to be feasible and
necessary for efficiency and economy
and to promote and secure most
favorable health legislation and to
extend the program of social well
fare.
The proposed medical and surgical
college would be established to in
sure well-trained medical-surgical
public health personnel for the
Army, Navy and public health serv-
ices. 1t carries with it declaration
OF policy by Congress not to grant
any financial aid to any State or
other political subdivision or to any
public or private institution for re-
search work in relation to medical
science or public health other than
under supervision of the proposed
institute. This institute would be
under control of board of regents
consisting of the surgeons general Of
the Navy. Army and Public Health
Service, and the dean of the insti-
tute. The dean would be elected for
term of seven years at a salary Of
$4,000 per year.
