THESE BOSSES, * THEY'RE HUMAN SORT OF FOLKS ‘Senator’ Taggart Is One of the Polished Kind, Writer Says, By HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer rr-fl EW YORK, July 9.—PoliI j tica] bosses are human sort I I of folks, despite all the mean things that are said about them. Doubtless it is the human element in their composition that wins them the following which enables them to Le bosses. For the successful boss rules through loyal adulation of his henchmen rather than fear. Take George Brennan, czar 't the rampant Democracy of Chicago. big - bodied, big - fisted, stomping about on his wooden leg. might double for a piratical John Silver. His bushy eyebrows have a way of cocking themselves slantwise that alone is "quite terrifying. And his voice, swelling from his barrel-like chest, rumbles like the wrath of Jehovah. ALL of which fits into a proper picture of a political boss. r_J But there is a benignant, pairnal, kindly-side to Brennan that .uite belies his title and his looks. One of his yoyung ward workers in an outlying district of Chicago, who had been doing heroic work for the organization in a subordinate capacity until a few years ago, found this out quite to his surprise. He had his eyes on the position of ward leader which he felt he had won by his efforts. So he mustered up courage to go and tell Brennan about it. Brennan listened without a word,

his hands clasped across his stomach. his teeth clamped In the butt of a black cigar, his eyebrows cocked at their most disconcerting angle. When the budding politician had finished, Brennan grunted and sat silent, puffing clouds of thick smoke. “So you want to be ward boss, eh? Nothing doing!” The young man started to protest but was stopped by a thundering “Shut up!” “No, I'll not make you a ward

boss!” Brennan shouted. "I should say not.” “I'm going to send you to Congress.” And he did. boss is Tom Taggart of Indiana. Tom is more polished In appearance and method than Brennan. He is more of the diplomat and less of the bulldozer. Having been, by appointment, In

The human element is the biggest element in big business. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was one of the first to give recognition to the welfare and rights of those who go to make up the personnel of its organization. This Company frankly states that a large measure of its success in business is due to the fact that it has considered the human element first. This applies to its relations with consumers, competitors, stockholders and employes. No organization in the oil industry, which is an industry of specialization, can efficiently serve the public without a trained and loyal body of workers. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) over a long period of years has built up a great organization of highly trained employes. These people are not regarded as cogs in a big machine. They are treated as human beings coworkers with the Board of Directors in rendering an essential service to the thirty million people of the Middle West To relieve employes of worry,*to enable them to give all their thought to their duties, and to stimulate their loyalty and interest, this Company has put into effect a number of plans. The last of these to be made effective is known as the “Employes’ Death Benefits Plan,” under wliicn this Company will pay to dependents of employes, upon the death of the latter, a sum of money ranging from $500.00, after one year of service, to $2,000.00, after ten years of service. This money will be paid wholly by the Company, irrespective of the position of the worker, and without expense to him. In dealing with the public, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) keeps ever in the foreground the fact that in the last analysis it is dealing with men and women. Whether these men and women are inside or outside the organization makes no difference—they must be considered as the human, the only necessary part of industry. You can’t keep human nature out of business, and the bigger the business, the greater the need for proper consideration of that human element which is so important a part of it. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has converted this human element into an asset to the public, by giving the utmost stimulus to those qualities of the worker which make for loyal and intelligent service.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

the United States Senate for a time, Tom acquired the dignified title of “Senator,” which he still wears. "Senator” Taggart, you will notice, sounds much more genteel thah “Boss” Brenaan. In addition to being the political boss of Hoosier Democrats, Tom is a hotel keeper. In fact, being a hotel 'keeper probah’y enabled him to become boss. For Tom's old Grand Hotel in Indianapolis, and his resort hotel at French Lick, being favorite foregathering places for politicians, first enabled Tom to get a peep at how the political wheels went round and to try his hand at spinning them occasionally. OWN at French Lick Springs, j ) Tom's hotel is surrounded by i.— sp cious grounds, and folks of wealt'i and fashion go there to play golf and drink mineral water. Tom maintains several families of tame squirrels. “To keep the nuts away,’' he exrlains. One millionaire visitor, who coaxed one of these pets within reach, thought it a good joke to give it a rap with his cane. When Taggart neard -of it he was furious. He ordered the guest away and warned him never to come back. Refusing all apologies, he gave the fellow a lecture that should have been preserved as a classic for the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

How to Care ]L for it y BY E.M.SCOTT

Glistening Body Finish Easily Preserved With Proper Care.

• When you bought your car, one of the greatest factors In Influencing you was the general finish and appearance of the car. You not only want a car to take you where you want to go, but you want a car you can take pride In owning. There is no doubt whatever you get a great deal more pleasure when driving a car that has a fresh glistening body than you do when driving one that looks old and dulL The question is, how long can the finish of the average car be kept shining and bright? The answer is, it depends entirely on the treatment it receives. The finest body finish can be ruined in a very short time by carelessness or improper treatment, while with proper care it will last for at least one year and perhaps two. \ If your car needs washing and polishing up. here’s the way to go about it. If you-are going to wash it out in the open and the sun is very warm, select a spot somewhere in the shade. If you attempt to

the water strikes the body with any great fe-ce, it simply drives tie mud and dirt into the varnish and permanently dulls the finish. In washing, allow the water to flow on gently over the body, at the same time sponging softly in straight lines to and fro. Never sponge with a circular motion, for if thereany grit in the sponge the circular motion will cause scratches that will show up badly. When you use straight to and fro motions, if there are any scratches they will not show so much. After you have sponged over the whole car, gently hose It all over to remove any dirt or grit that may remain. A word about sponges. Use TWO of them and get them as large as possible. Use one for the body exclusively and the other uso only for the wheels and chassis. The sponge used on the body must be kept

absolutely free from grease, oil, kerosene or gasoline, of rlmse tils will dissolve or soft' n the finish and for this reason must be kept off sponges and chamois. If the body has uny mud on it. remove It as soon as possible. 'l'here are two very good reasons why mud must not be loft to dry on the varnish First, because there is always a certain amount of time and ammonia in mud that will eat into varnish and spot it. ‘Jocond, you liable to scratch tne finish unless you are very careful when removing it. The best way to remove mud Is to play the hose on it gently and allow

the mud to float off. Do not get impatient and try to rub the mud off with the sponge before it is softened. After hosing and sponging, finish off by drying with a large chamois skin. It is a good idea to have a bucket of clean water beside you into

or kerosene in the water to remove the grease or oil from the wheeia and chassis, but be very careful indeed not to use the sponge you use on the body to sponge the wheels. NEXT WEEK—KEEPING < I.OTH OR I .FATHER UPHOLSTERY IN GOOD CONDITION. Copyright. 1924, by the S. N. L. Technical Syndicate

FISH YANKS FISHERMAN Eighteen-Pounder Pulls Man From Jetty Into Sea. By Timet Special CAPE MAY. N. J., July 9.—Joseph Hand, known hereabouts as "Truthful Pike," was yanked from a stone jetty at the entrance to Cape Cod harbor by an eighteen pound weakfish which took his hook. Quite undaunted. Hand clamped his teeth on the line and started to swim to the jetty. He is a strong swimmer, but so was the weakflsh. Four times the great fish pulled Hand back into the water, just as he was clambering out upon the slippery rocks, and the determined fisherman was In danger of being drowned when fishermen in a motor boat saw his plight and went to his assistance. Afterw landing his fish, the twen-ty-fourth he had caught during the day, Hand shouldered his catch and trudged to the market. His fish weighed 159 pounds and he sold them for SSB.

wash out in the hot sun, the water dries off before you have a chance to use the chamois, with the result that the finish has a fine collection of streaky marks. For the same reason, it is a wise plan never to wash your car directly after a long run on a very warm day when the body is warm—give it a chance to cool off. If you have a nice shady spot, let’s start. Before you turn on the water, remove the nozzle from the hose, so that the water will flow without any force behind it. Neglect of this little point haa ruined the finish on thousands of cars. When
