WANTED ONLY MINOR CHANGE

Youth Had No Desire to Interfere With the Existing Chronological System, Only— Ten p. m. There was a lot to do at the office, and, despite the lateness of the hour, the staff still at work. The head of the firm Rooked sternly at the joung man over his gold-rimmed glasses. Then: “So you’ve a complaint to make, have you?” he asked fiercely. “Not exactly a complaint, sir,” said the other, “but there’s just one little matter about which I should like to speak to you.” “I gave you more money the other day,” growled the chief. “What’s it you want this time? Shorter hours — eh?” “Oh, no—no sir! Ido not feel it incumbent on me, I /issure you, in any way to tamper with our present quite excellent chronological system. For my part, I am perfectly content that the hours should retain their present length. All I wish is— er—fewer of them as applied to my dally period of work.” —Houston Post
