HERE’S SOMETHING THAT COSTS NOTHING, BUT PAYS BIG

Politeness Give-Take Problem—Employers Place Pay Envelope Value on Courtesy, Good Will. By Martha Lee Politeness, like kindness, is a give and take quality. People are likely to be polite to us, if we are polite to them. In business it’s the greatest of assets and if employers really undcrstoo dits worth, they’d place a pay-envelope value on courtesy. It’s one of the most important elements in building that “good will” that they talk so much about.

In common, every day living it’s a sort of “oil-of-gladness” that makes the wheels of rough experience slide merrily along. It costs nothing. Too bad we don’t always recognize how much good we could do in this world by simply being polite. Fellow Employe Rude Dear Martha Lee: Don't you think it 1. a trial to have to work with people vho are disagreeable and rude and seem In take pleasure in saying things that hurt your feelings? I have a good paying position, but there is a woman who has worked here for about nineteen years wl\o is a perfect misery. She supervises my work. She is very efficient and valuable no doubt, but because she thinks I am getting ahead (I think she fears my progress) she throws every stumbling block in my way. 1 am thinking of ohanging my position because of her. The other girls hate her. MADELINE. You’ll never have a better chance to prove some things to yourself and to do some real good than you have right now, Madeline. I’d he willing to bet that right there in that woman you have a creature who is unhappy and disappointed in life. Just to prove that you’re bigger than you’ve thought yourself, resolve to break the ice of this woman’s manner. Don’t talk about her to the others and see if you can’t reach her by making her feel that you don’t resent her ugly manner. Then watch that manner change. Try this.

Inconvenience? Yes; But Never Pain Menstruation is Nature—but menstrual pain is NOT natural, and not necessary. Science has conquered the painful part. In a harmless—yes, healthful—little tablet called midol. Midol is a more remarkable means of relieving such pain that even a habit-forming drug. It acts directly on the organs affected by menstruation, and relief comes in five to seven minutes.* Don’t have another day of forced quiet, of pain, low spirits or even discomfort! Midol is effective twelve hours or more. Yet it does not depress the heart, is not narcotic, and is utterly harmless. All druggists, fiO cents, in thin aluminum box that fits the smallest purse.

Says She Hasn’t ‘lt’ Dear Martha Lee: I am a young girl twenty-one years old. I am considered very good looking and am welt liked by girls of my acquaintance, but for some reason I am unable to attract any of the opposite sex. I try to be sociable and a good sport, but my efforts seem in vain. Evidently I lack “It" that they speak of in the movies. Can you help me with any suggestion? E. ;j. It is evident that you draw a line of sharp distinction between your girl friends and young men. The latter are only human beings you know and if you will think of them, as just people and be as natural and friendly as with your girl friends, they will respond. So many girls become self conscious and put on an air of artificiality when young a man approaches. Shall She Write Him? Dear Martha Lee: I have refused to marry the that I love because of my age. However, I sincerely care for him and I know he cares for me. For about four or five weeks now he has been working at nights and I haven’t heard from him. I am leaving In about two weeks for California and I can’t make up my mind whether I should write to him or not. It all depends on you. WORRIED. Why shouldn’t you write him, when you are going on this extended trip? Under the circumstances, I think you might ask him to make a little farewell call before you leave the city. “Rose Marie” says that the young man sne goes with constantly breaks dates with her. She cares greatly for him and always forgives him. “Rose Marie,” make him understand that you simply will not continue to forgive this rudeness. Ho does it because he knows he can.

OFFICE HOLDERS INCREASE Percentage of Women in Public Office Growing Rapidly. Timet Washington Bureau. tStt Jseto York Arrnur Washington, May IV. —Women are slowly and surely advancing on the goal of public office. Since 1925 women office holders have increased about 12-4 per cent, in the United States. These figures are estimated from a survey made by the National League of Women Voters in Minnesota, Connecticut, Ohio, Alabama, Washington, Kansas and Wisconsin. The figures show that women are invading the field of county and municipal office most rapidly. And they are not being content with the more logical careers of school superintendent, county clerk, or county treasurer. There are seven women sheriffs in the seven States studied, one of them In Ohio, three in Wisconsin and three in Kansas.- Wisconsin had a woman district attorney a year ago, too. There are 634 women holding office ! n five of the seven States covered by the report, for which totals

legislative bodies. Altogether twelve are serving in upper houses of various States and 110 in lower houses. And most of them are in the conservative east. Seven women, altogether, have been elected to Congress and three of them are now serving. About twenty-five women are holding important Federal positions by appointment. / But aa a voter, woman has not yet learned to take full advantage of her opportunities, the league finds. The league’s statistics show that the percentage of women who use their vote is lower than that of men. The study showed, too, that: The head of the family holds the best record as a voter. Next come the son and daughter, and last the wife. Persons belonging to the middlea#ted group have the largest voting percentage; those of the youngest group the lowest. The better the education, the tylgher the voting percentage of the group. A survey of several elections showed that it is only a small percentage of eligible voters who fail entirely to use their vote, although not all voters vote at every election.

CYNICS OF SIXTEEN DO NOT KNOW SIMPLE JOYS Mrs. Ferguson Says Sophisticated Children Think Life Was Made for Joy-Riding and Playing at Love.

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson A letter, printed recently in a national magazine, signed “SubDeb,” announces that the writer is soon to go upon the great adventure, to make the last gesture and commit suicide right off, because she is bored with living and can see no reason to go on. Well, probably the world will be just as well off without her. These people who are so blase at sixteen that they figure they have experienced all that existence has to offer would probably not do much to alleviate the suffering of mankind or help with plans for world i peace. How Pitiful But what pitiful little things they are, these sophisticated and misled children. They merit our sympathy because they are blind to the great vision of life and victims, it may be, to our increasing materialism and cynicism and unbelief. For while death may be the great adventure, life Is still the magnificent one. Those only merit praise who can

There’s a little of everything in today's list of questions. The answers are to be found on page 28. 1. What was the maiden name of Mrs. CMlvin Coolidge? 2.

appreciate its gladness as well as submit to its pain, who are able to sense its wonder and joy and mystery as well as its pathos and desperation. To be a girl in this wonderful century and rdiss the high adventures of the spirit that are now possible to women, to deprive one’s self of the exhilaration of the struggle, of the magic of love, of the blessedness of babies, of the sweet commonplace of delights of maturity—this is to commit suicide indeed. The tragedy of these poor children is that they believe life was meant to be spent in joy-riding, in playing at love, and in futile occupations. When these things pall, as they always will, they feel that life is over. They know nothing about the pleasure that comes from simple things. Daily tasks wel done, the deep delight of books, the sweet security of a bright hearth fire, the wonder of an autumn morning, the joy of one true friend, the magic of an hour with only one’s self as company. Perhaps they have never known the peace of a purple evening when the cattle come home in the twilight, and the voices of children at play echo on the still air. For generally these are city adoles-
