Wouldn't II be nice IL we could

us? That lis, IL we are interested
in improving ourselves.
This Is what our friends see In
some Of us: Impatience, irrtabil-

snobbishneAs. Seifiahnsss. timidity,
fear. envy, Jealousy. hatred and
anger. Right now you are angry.
II you are the average woman. be.
cause you KNOW you are not
guilty Of these things.
But haven't we all fallen short
at some time or another? We can
help ourselves by admitting our
faults and starting 70 correct
them. ...
OF course we all have many
good traits. but the first step TO
Improvement is TO admit our
shortcomings.
We have all heard II said of a
friend. ~ she would only learn

her with Mid gloves"
Good health IL the best single
guarantee Of a good personality,
Plenty OF rest. relaxation and
fresh air are far more desirable
than irritability, anxiety or just
plain grouchiness.
Goodness, patience, courage. In
'itiative and ambition are very de-
nlrable traits 10 possess.
Now all we have 10 do II prac-
tice forgetting our bad traits and
remake our personality, OF course
Il can't be done In day, but we
can try. In time we will be proud
that we tried.

He taught the Indians many
things such as cultivation of the

also convinced them to cease

anything, he taught them how to

1t is noteworthy that a Palestin-
ian or Egyptian would be familiar
with the usefulness of the cactus
i. Hence the story that Quetza-

The end of legendary Quetza-

The
Rambler
The Private Life
OF an Economist
By JACK JONAS

Washington is q place
where the right combination
can be parlayed into a real
deal.
There was a fellow who
worked here for the State De-
partment, an economist in
more ways than one. When
he wasn't puzzling over the
economies of foreign lands,
he directed his talents toward
his personal life.
For example, he had an
economic theory about street.
cars, a theory never even
mentioned when the Senate
had all its hearings about
the transit problem here. He
held that it wasn't really
necessary to pay out a part
of his hard-earned stipened
Just to ride a streetcar, If it
was worked right.
The way he put it into prac-
tice was to board streetcarS
only at regular transfer
points. He figured that
standing around for no longer
than maybe 10 minutes was
enough, In that time, someone
getting of a streetcar would
drop transfer, or throw one
away.

Speech Class Urged
For D. c. Teachers
Meeting Is Set
To Discuss
Sloppy Talk

Washington's public schools
may start a special speech-in-
provement course for teachers.
DR.. Walter E. Hager, president
of District Teachers College.
disclosed today he has asked
permission to set up an after
school teachers speech class.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing has scheduled a meeting to
consider the speech problem.
and an aide said the Teachers,
College proposal presumablyswill
be taken up.
DR.. Corning two weeks ago
told the city's principals he had
received complaints of sloppy
speech" on the part of individ-
ual teachers, and called for i'm
provement. The superintendent
said yesterday he hoped an in
service speech-training program
might be launched.
Stresses Importance
DR.. Hager, who said the teach.
ers' college has strict speech re-
quirementS for its own students,
called the need for work with
teachers highly important.
I'VE don't let anyone eseduatgN
who doesn't have acceptable
speech" he said, but he added
that some of the city's present
teachers don't meet such high
standards.
DR.. Hager tied part of the
problem to Indignation. While
the former Wilson Teachers COL
lege, for white students, intro.
duced required speech courses 10
years ago, no such courses were
offered at Miner College, for
Negro students, he said. The two
colleges were merged last year.

course was sought even before

here. Many older teachers never
took formal speech courses, he
noted.
One school source said most Of
the city'S teachers could profit
from a speech-refresher course.
One Of the problems, Mr.. Hoff-
mann said, is Washington's own
particular accent, which he de-
scribed as "a polyglot, neither

Pearl Harbor
Anniversary
Noted Here
Adm. HiIIenpoetter
Stresses Cost of
Being Surprised

Three volleys of rifle fire and
the sound of Taps" today rolled
across the nearby slopes of the
Potomac River to remind the
Nation Of Pearl Harbor and the
catastrophe consequences of
military unpreparedneSs.
i Ceremonies at the Two Jima
Memorial marked the 18th an
niversary of the "day that will
live in infamy."
Vice Admiral r. H. Hillenkoet-
ter, Naval Inspector General,
undersigned the vivid message.
ON December 7. 1941. the ad-
miral was executive officer on
the West Virginia when the Jap
anese sneak attack bombs drove
that proud battlewagon to the
bottom of battleship row.
Cost Of Surprise
II learned from the closest
possible personal experience the
terrible cost of being caught by
surprise" asserted the admiral,
wounded when the West Virginia
was struck.
That there is need for con-
slant military preparedness "has
been demonstrated and redemon-
strated many times in recent
years." he said.
Korea, the Tachen Islands,
Indo-C China and the Middle East
have shown clearly that we can
mot relax our preparedness" Ad-
miral Hillenkoetter continued.
Though the occurrence at
Pearl Harbor Is years ago was
dire and catastrophe, we did
derive one very valuable precept
from that day: Never again will
we be found so thoroughly sur
prised as we were is years ago
this morning.
Was Aboard Utah
Another Pearl Harbor survivor
present for the ceremonies was
Glenn Trotter of 1852 South
Capitol terrace S.W. Mr.. Trot-
ter was a fire controlman third
class aboard the battleship Utah
when she went down in the at
tack.
The program sponsored an
Inually by Amvets also featured
a combined battalion represent
ing all the armed services which
served as honor guard and which
passed in review for Admiral Hill
lenkoetter, AmvetS National
Commander Dominick L. Strads
and honor guests.
The only note which raised the
question of awareness, if moi
preparedness, was the fact that
scarcely more than 200 civilian
spectators turned out for the pro-
ceedings.

WHEN THE TIME for the
sale rolled around, people
flocked to the economists
house, already rubbing their
collective hands in anticipa-
ton.
Some of the stuff looked
pretty shoddy and worn. 1t
had, after all, been through
a lot.
But you could hear the

well, that's his tough luck.
You can't let sentiment inter-
fere with a bargain"
This thing and that went,
with surprising rapidity, and
the economist was busy max
ing sales. 1t was like bargain
day at the department store,
with people pushing and
showing and vying for the
items
Some went away with sad
looks, disappointed because
something they'd wanted had
gone to somebody else before
they could get to it.
When the bargain hunters
had departed. the economist,
standing in his bare house
with q happy smile on his
face, counted up to more than
5000.

persons with sideline occupa-
tons, and the proposed regula-
tons would rule these out if the
income from such occupations
was less than $500 a year.
Tentative Rules
Explaining the proposed regu-
lations, Mr.. Martin said: From
the standpoint of sensible adj
ministration, public opinion and
congressional reaction. we have
drafted tentative ground rules
which we. the staff, think make
good sense"
Also, he declared, there are no
plans to prosecute or penalize
anybody who fails to take out a
license for lack of information
or misunderstanding.
And. Mr.. Martin stressed,
there is no truth to reports that
ministers. priests and rabbis are
subject to the license law be-
cause OF the fees they earn in
lceremonials such as weddings.
Mr.. Martin said the question
Of licensing insurance men will
have to be decided on an .indi-
vidual basis in many cases, since
some operate as employes-and
therefore are exempt-and others
act as independent contractors
EmplOye Defined
The proposed regulations care
fully defined employees as those
whose employer has the legal
right to control both the method
and result of the services per.
formed. The form of compensa.
ton, whether salary. commission
or salary and commission, is i'm.
material for this purpose.
Mr.. Martin said some 1900
persons already have taken out
the licenses. while many others
have returned QUESTIONABLE,
contending they are not subject
to the license law.
He said his Office is preparing
a new QUESTIONABLE comprehen'
Sive enough to let his staff make
a quick decision on individual
cases. The new QUESTIONABLE
he said. will be sent to any per.
sons who have asked whether
they are liable and to thost
'Iabout whom any question exists
