C. What’s Wrbng With Your Work? BY WILLIAM MAXWELL, (VICE PRESIDENT THOMAS A. EDISON, Inc.) { can i Coly When 1 was a boy and knocked around the west. faro bank was an| honored institution. In addition to the | th deft-fingered dealer, there was a lynx-| tu eyed man, the “lookout,” who at in a | nigh chair at the end of the table and jcern makes a periodical inventory of its assets and liabilities, the salaried ties we have discussed blend into each other and furnish a complete ground- work for the man or woman who seriously plans a marked improve- ment in the character of his or her| work. In a sense the listing of ad- | ditional qualities is unnecessary, as, practically any deficiency in any ad- | ditional quality can be traced to | deficiency in one or more of these| fundamentals. However, in order to make sure that you will not “over- reach them—not by attempting to un- dermine some other person, or by and twenty years hence? If not, you should decide at once. You should es- tablish a series of goals, and try to look any bet” in planning to im- prove your business status, I offer the | following supplementary suggestion Have you a definite ambition? Do you know what you want to be five years from now, ten years from now i clamoring for promotion, but by demonstrating your fitness fof greater { responsibility. Are you diplomatic enough? Diplo- | macy—the brand needed in business— ldoes not mean suavity and soft soan. It means being a “regular fellow.” If we are inclined to be “Smart Alacks” or “crabs or anything else obnox- ious to our fellows, we should e deavor to overcome that tendency. The business world does not want | milksops or mollycoddles, but on the and | : i other’ hand it does want men women who can disagree or criticize | tle. | | each other without starting a b We should all endeavor to be as con- derate of each other's feelings as lis consistent with the effective con- duct of the business | Do you go about your work in a| | systematic manner? “All of us should | ! make a purposeful study of our work | { with the object of learning how to do i the best work of which we are capa- i ble. in the easiest way. Some people think that system means red tape and . elaborate detail. The right kind of | | system is a foe'to red tape, and tol- | erates no detail that is not cssential | {as a safeguard, or as a helpful aid | toward the desired dbjective. True stem always has an objective in w, and secks the shortest road to such’ objective. Here are some test questions which may aid in_determining your use of | systematic methods: Could you go to your desk in the dark and lay your hand promptly on any needed implement or piece of stationery? Do you keep your desk clean? If it | is necessary for you to have an accu- i mulation of files on your desk, do you | { keep them subdivided, and arranged | according_to their relative impor- | tance, and do you always know ex { actly what you have on your desk? When you temporarily fall behind in your work, have you a regular { method of giving preference to “rush | matters,” or do you let everything take its turn? | "Have you established the relative | frequency with which you use sta- | tionery, pen, pencil, ruler, different ! printed forms, etc., and do you have { them correspondingly accessible? Have you studied the form and pro- cedure of your work, and are you satisfled that the methods and forms which are used could not be im- : proved? Then there is the quality of dis- patech. Many salaried employes take the view that accuracy requires slow work. but such is not the case. The trained croupier collects and pays wagers at the roulette table with lightning-like rapidity. and unerring accuracy, because hf§ mind is wholly concentrated upon his work, and he i has practiced it until it is second nature to him to calculate instantly the winning wagers at whatever odds they happen to be. Haste should never be accepted as ! an excuse for error.- No matter how ! great your haste is, you should omit no necessary precaution. You should | know vour work so thoroughly that, ' Cocoanut 0il Makes A Splendid Shampoo || If you want to keep your hair| {]/in good condition, be careful what | you wash it with: Mast soaps and prepared sham- || | poos contain too much alkali. This| | dries the scalp, makes the hair | brittle, and is very harmful. Mul- | sified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless). |is much better than anything else |you can use for shampoolng, as| this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it.in. One or two teaspoonfuls of Mulsified will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and, scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dan- druff and excessive ofl. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last every one in the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. —Advertisement. portant d. | ment in th Finish e touch rn it style o arks t who knew Man o' War the fundamental defects or weak- 4 nesses which must be overcome before | Was running at its d the salaried employe can hope to get | Maj Belmonts form recognition from the corporation or | Lvelt theR @CCenElE individual that hires his or her| l0niT Oyl resol services, in the form of more money | War i mpion in the pay envelope, or a more im-| . decade becaus portant job—or both. mind on his w Doubtless, you have noted how the|to have endowed him i various basic mental and moral quali- | that instinc an abnormal de Fortunately thave to depend upon i into ex » betweon “ver: you can, if ne all ¢ b, the operations on of 10.
