A 16 year old school girl took a shot at her teacher because “she gave me low marks in English,” and then defiantly said “I ain't sorry a bit.” it is an if! wind that blows no man te good. Concentration of attention upon the Supreme Court and labor issues has brought about, at least temporarily, re- taxation of pressure for immediate pre- sentation of new legislation for further feguiation of business. i “Rasputin,” who used to contribute good verse for the Florida Sunshine column in the Times-Union, is now doing a column, “Key Notes,” for the Key West Citizen, whiei is good.—Times-Union. Gone but wot forgetten—we mean he will be pleasantly remembered. President Roosevelt in one of his fre- quent figures of speech, likened the three departments of the government—levis- lative, judicial and executive—to three horses, that should work well in harness. But they don't. The lead horse is domi- Mating the other two, and soon we will have a one-horse government, | batteries. When he thought he had reached the proper point Hobson blew up the Merrimac and she sank, but had drift- ed to one side of the channel, and the brave exploit was not a success. Hobson and his little crew of seven men were tak- en prisoners and held by the Spaniards un- til about a month later, when they were exchanged. the morning of July 3 the Spanish | fleet steamed out of the harbor in a des- perate effort to escape, every ship was sunk by the American fleet. Although Hobson failed to accom- plish his purpose, that fact does not in the least detract from the heroism displayed by him and his gallant crew of volunteers, and for which he was awaftded the Con- gressional medal of honor, Admiral Hobson was a_ native of Greensboro, Ala., and was 66 years old at the time of his death. He had recently taken an active part in opposition to President Roosevelt’s plan to increase the membership of the Supreme Court. RAILROADS AND FLOODS When the recent floods ravaged the valleys of the Ohio, Mississippi and other rivers, the relief work of the Red Cross, various government agencies and volun- teer workers, both men and women, re- ceived and deserved the highest praise. Not so much was heard, however, about the great service rendered by the railroads during the emergency. Yet the railroads, many of which suffered millions of dollars in property damage, performed services the value of which can not be overestimated. They carried the bulk of all the food, clothing and other supplies which | went into the stricken areas, although laboring under the severest Eacdieauat Much of this service was performed with- | out cost to relief agencies or the refugees. | And by almost superhuman efforts the railroads restored regular service within an incredibly short time. All this was done quietly and with little publicity. It hardly made news, because it was taken for granted. It may be that taking for granted the fine service rendered by the railroads and | public utilities generally is an unconscious | tribuite to them. But these vast enter-; prises are run by human beings to whone an expression of appreciation occasionally would not be amiss. THE MEANING OF “30” While the symbol “30” has been used for perhaps three-quarters of a cen- tury to indicate “the end” by telegraphers and printers, its significance has been un- known to the public generally. Since the well-known radio news commentator, Paul Sullivan, has been using the phrase “Good night—and 30” to end his nightly broadcasts, many inquiries } have been made by listeners conceraing its! meaning. s | “2 « z Just-why the symbol “30”: was: p for the purpose is not known, but it ha’ been employed since the early | days ve telégraphy by operators to indicate that | ed. Later on it was adopted by news-| paper men to inform the printers that | there would be no more copy for the day, | or night, By extension, the term has been used to indicate death, and in publishers’ and printers’ trade journals it is often used as a heading for obituary notices. Also such | phrases as “answered the call of 30” or| “30 came to,” applied to a person, simply means that he died, The attempt was made on June 3, in the face of fire from the Spanish shore a £ # ae 85 8 ae j 2 ie gts i ety a el i § 4 i A greatly reduced.

Judge Ohio, Federal developed business today of the essential character- that busi: natural forces, and the laws of busi- ness mark its course. Hence, two things are absolutely essential to cessful business direction. First, comprehensive and intensive knowl- edge of the natural forces and natural laws of business success, and seeond, the freedom of the ousiness director from interference in his direction. Directive ability in business is as highly specialized as diréctive ability in surgery or medicine. The most important factor in the productive process, by far, is select- ing workers, and directing their ac- tivities. No two workers are alike.
