I don't know of any way in which a salaried employe could more ef- fectively take the measure of his loyalty to the company or individual he serves than by asking himself— or herself—this question and being absolutely conscientious in answering it. And, incidentally, of all the moral qualities which lead to success in business, I don't know of any which is more important than loyalty. Loyalty means being true blue all the way through. It means being a thoroughbred. It is a quality beyond price. ~No matter how efficient and capable he or she may be, a man or Hot Wate -as much as you want -when you want it That is just needs.

In fact, |the experiments we have been con- |ducting at our plant, with the object jof discovering and analyzing the |underlying causes which prevent so Imany workers of the so-called “white collar class” from getting out of the business rut, have demonstrated that the trouble is to no small extent due to indifference on the part of the worker to his, or her, employer's in- terests—an indifference which may manifest itself in various ways. A just employer, next to the im- mediate members of your family, is the best friend you have. He wants you to succeed and he will usually stick by you in adversity, if you de- serve it. Such an employer, of course, merits your unswerving loyalty. It is to be admitted, however, that not all employers are of the type which inspires loyalty. Perhaps you have the misfortune to be working for an individual, or a corporation, which comes under this category. But don’t be foo hasty in ariving at that conclusion, or in making it a justifi- cation for failure on your part to give your best in the way of unselfish devotion to the business. History records several instances, when things went wrong with monarchs, where their faithful retainers went down fighting against hopeless odds, even though the latter were weil aware that their royal masters were not per- sonally worthy of the sacrffice. In those days of chivalry, the men who fought to the last ditch for a man they called their king and sacrificed their lives in what they knew had become a hopeless cause were loyal to an ideal, or to a sense of duty, rather than to a person. The day has passed when loyalty what every” family is just what every, Facts—Send for Booklet. Can Be Bought From Your Plumber or WASHINGTON GAS LIGHT CO. Distributors 419 Tenth Street — to kings Is particularly worthy of acclaim, but the loyalty to ideals and principles is a ocharacteristic that every high-grade man and woman must possess. The man or woman who desires to progress in the business world should have a code of ethics as definite and comprehensive as the ancient code of chivalry, and should adhere to it as faithfully as was the custom of “good knights and_ true,” in respect of chivalry's code. Forget | whether the boss, or company, is de- serving of your devotion. Such specu- lations are not going to be of any help in lifting you out of the rut. You will find it much more to your ad- vantage to bear in mind that in being loyal to the business you will also be loyal tq yourself—faithful to your own best interests. An important phase of business loyalty is the co-operative spirit—the spirit which produces team work. In base ball we have seen an aggregation of stars finish in the second division because the proper co-operative spirit was not present. The splendid ath- letic traditions of the great univer- sities contain many examples of this manifestation of loyalty. Personal jealousies and dislikes are obliterated by team work. The man in the foot ball line up next to you may be a man you don’t speak to outside of foot ball hours, but in a game you back him up as you would if he were your dearest friend. You don't try to put him in bad, and you won't let bim get in bad, {f you can help it. Why? Simply because he is part of the team, and you want the team to win. If you showed a different spirit you would be driven out of college. That is the sort of spirit we need in business. Our dislikes should not affect our co-operation with our as- sociates. It is natural for us to like some people better than others, but it is, rather silly of us to dislike any one. However, even if wéd dislike an associate, we must not permit that fact to prevent us from working with him whole-heartedly in the interests of the boss or the company. Guardianship of company’s prestige is another important phase of busi- ness loyalty. It involves going about your work with the thought constant- iy in your mind that you will do nothing that will give any one oc- Lovekin ' AUTOMATIC GAS WATER HEATER casion to criticise the methods of the concern you serve. ‘It involves, too, a careful avoldance of saying. as well as' dolng, anything that is suscept- ible to a wrong conmstruction, reflect- ing upon the company or its product. Too often we hear employes quoted to this or that effect as a result of some ill-considered statement which, when made, was undoubtedly intend- ed to have a widely different meaning.
