YOUNG Superintendent's Office ELIZABETH HARTLEY Production Office HALLENE BECK Community Reporter MARGARET SKINNER Warehouse, Shipping, Dyehouse and Outside HODGE PHIGER, KELLY PAYNE The Art of Getting Along Sooner or later, a man, if he is wise, discovers life to be a mix ture of good days and bad, victory and defeat, give and take. He learns that it doesn't pay to be a sensitive soul—that he should let some things go over his head like water off a duck's back, and that he who loses his temper —loses. He learns that all men have burnt toast for breakfast now and then; that he shouldn't take the other fellow's grouch too seriously, and that it does no harm to smile and say "Good morning" even if it is raining. He learns that carrying a chip on his shoulder is the quickest way to get into a fight, and the surest way to become unpopular is to carry tales about others. He learns that most fellows are as ambitious as he—that they have brains as good or better, and that hard work, and not clever ness, is the secret of success. He learns to sympathize with youngsters coming into the busi ness—remembering how bewildered he was himself in the beginning. He learns that no man ever got to first base alone; that only through cooperative effort do we succeed. 4* He learns that "Getting Along" depends about 98 per cent on ' Himself.—The Telephone News. A Smile A smile costs nothing but gives us much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None of us is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. Dead Wrong THE EKWIN CHATTER E Bleachery and Vat Dye Reporting: JANICE EATON JAMES M.
