Thomas E. Wilson, the Chicago packer, says in the August American Magazine: “The higher up he is,.the more dependent an executive becomes on those under him. The real success of an executive, it seems to me. rests on his ability to promote wisely, and at the same time to keep the force working in harmony and contentment. A little jealousy here and there in an organization can ruin its efficiency. I have known men who had enouglt general grasp of things to have in, de great departing t managers, only they could not get on harmoniously w'th about them. If a man can’t get along pleasantly with his associates, he cannot successfully handle a force of men. I never like to promote a man to a responsible place if he has failed o work in hearty co-operation witli the men alongside of him. When you hear men say of their boss: "He is a good fellow to work for,’ you may know he is a successful executive.” The department of commerce announces that Mr. Stanley H. Rose, of the export department of the Barber Asphalt Company, of Philadelphia, has resigned his position to take charge of the New York branch office of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. This office will be of special importance in (he Departments work of licensing exports under toe

Espionage Act, as most of the applications for licenses from the New York district will he received at the local office and certain classes of licenses will be issued there without consulting Washington. Mr. Rose has had previous experience as manager of the New York office and lias served the bureau in various other capacities in the past. He will enter upon his new duties Monday . Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor of the Woman’s Home Companion, says in the August issue: “The summer girl loves to show her colors. Look at her and you know it/ She i« collecting patriotic hat bands: '.he newest shows the American eagle. “Gay colored organdie collars are trimmed with rows of Valenciennes edging, or with organdie flutings bought by the yard. “The bathing suit sash is something to marvel at. It comes in all colors and is rubber and. impractical as it may seem, it is hand-painted. Odd rubber bathing cape match the sashes. Such a set gives a last year’s bathing suit a this year’s look. “A revival to take notice of is the return of the stock and jabot. The smartest are net and filet lace. The jabot which is very full is also used without the stock. This fall it is the two fabric gown that will be favored—not only for the sake of economy but for that of style. 1‘ or early fall wear, gingham will be seen in combination with chiffon taffeta. Odd. isn’t it? Checked gingham forms the trimming on plain taffeti. Thomas E. Wilson, the Chicago packer, has written an article for The American Magazine in which he gi/es some of the experiences he has had as head of large companies. He says in the August issue: “Am employer should be slower to fire a man titan to hire him. To refuse to employ a man probably does him no great harm, hut to discharge him may leave a permanent imprint on his He may regard himself as having been tried and found wanting a failure. I would seldom fire a man for a single mistake. Many men are stronger for having once made a blunder. \h'y have profited by it and are resolved that nothing like ever occur again. I should much prefer to have a man make mistakes—as long as he isn't a repester—than to make excuses A little excuse is a dangerous thing. It is a habit that grows on one. A man gets to depend on excuses for careless work instead of striving to do the work properly. The fellow who never has an excuse, even for poor work. shows that he is striving to do right and has at. least a clear conscience.”

KNOW HOW TO COOK. Lafayette, Ind., July 17—(Special to Daily Democrat I—"To bo an efl(iont home maker you must know your job," according to G. 1 Christie, superintendent nt the extension de partment of Purdue university, “It is not only uecenaary for the housewife to know the nutritive values of the different food products (ilid how to combine these into a ladanted ration for her family, but she |nust also know how to substitute the less expensive diets for the expensive ones when necessity arises,” Mr. Christie continues. "The present shortage of the potato supply and the high prices make it necessary for many families to substitute other foods in its stead. "The chief food constituent of potatoes is starch. Therefore, in selecting substitutes for potatoes, starch foods must he chosen. Potatoes also contain very valuable mineral matter, not commonly found in other starchy foods, so potato substitutes must be supplemented with an abundance of green vegetables or other foods which supply mineral matter. “Sweet potatoes are valuable as a source of starch, so they should be served instead of, rather than with Irish potatoes as is so commonly done. "Rice has a very high percentage of starch and may be used as a substitute for potatoes if care is tahen to supply mineral matter in which the rice is lacking. Rice is mild in flavor and may be combined with many other foods of more pronounced flavor. Rice is a cheaper source of starch than potatoes at the present price. “Other cereals and cereal products also may be used in place of potatoes. Many of them have added value because they contain protein, the tissue building food, as wefl as starch. “Hominy should be soaked in warm water several hours before it is put over the fire, it requires long cooking. The use of a fireless cooker or a double boiler does away with the constant attention which is necessary when it is cooked over the direct flame. It may be cooked in quantities greater than needed for a single meal, stored in a cold place and served in several different ways. “Macaroni and spaghetti are starchy foods and dishes made from either are served in place of potatoes. If they are carefully and thoroughly cooked they are pleasing in appearance and palatable. They should be cooked in rapid boiling salted water until tender, then drained and rinsed in cold water. This keeps the pieces from becoming mushy and sticking together. They may be .used interchangeably in recipes for they differ in form rather than in content.” o - DEMOCRAT WANT ADS PAY BIG.

GREENS AND SUMMER SQUASH. There are a number of wild and cultivated greens which may be canned and utilized for total during the winter months, says today's bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which is co-oi>era-ting with this newspaper in a campaign to induce the housewives of the country to conserve the food. Among the greens available at this time ire Marsh Marigold, Bokeweed Sprouts. Smartweed, Pepper Cress, Lanib'squarter, Sour Dock and Pasley (purslane.) These greens should be sorted carefully to free (ffini from all foreign matter and dry or dead leaves, th n gashed in cold water. Greens should be blanched for fifteen minutes in steam and then plunged for an instant into cold water. A good way to this is to use a wire crate or a cheesecloth bag. After blanching and colddipping, cut greens into desired length and pack tightly into jars, adding ono level teaspoonful of salt to each quart.
