There is no one thln.g that will so mar the appearance of a com pany as for a dozen or so men to turn out with dirty shoes. They take all the pep out of the appearance of it. Have the leggings neatly rolled. Prac tice rolling them until every man can get them on neatly. “Fourth, do not wear unauthorized articles. Do not wear a mixed uni form. You cannot have a pleasing and uniform appearance if men are per mitted to do these things. Wear the cap square on the head. Slopping it over at an angle or taking out the grommet in order to form it into grotesque shapes should be absolutely taboo. “The company that carries out these few simple rules will find its appear ance much Improved and the home folks will give it a glad hand. They will honestly be proud that they have such an organization and glad to call it their own.” Plane Does All Birds Claim—Even in Trees Take warning—don’t stand beneath them.—Johnstown, Pa., T^'ibune.
