Single Man a More Dependable Employee Than the Married One? “YES” Argues Industrial Physician “NO” Answers Character Specialist Beat It! «overs, It’s the Kind of a. Job He Has, and the Type He Belongs To, Explains William Judson Kibby, That Makes Marriage a Factor For or Against His Value to Employer Cites Examples to Prove His Points. By Fay Stevenson. Coppnaht, 1901, by the Proms Publishing Co, (The New York Eveming Worid.) HO makes the more dependable employee, the ick or the For years it has heen generally understood that when *Bill or John or Harry marries and “settles down” he will make an excellent business man. Marriage was supposed to be the one thing which would make ~ man “steady” und “dependable” to his employers. PIFFLE -RIFFLE HAS LEFT HIS WIFE By Maurice Ketten Now from Boston comes the report that married men employed in indus- trial establishments are less depend- able than single gen. This was the statement of Dr. R. 8 Quinby of Newton to the American Association of Industrial Physic! and Surgeons. A study of employ- ment records at one plant showed, he said, that unmarried employees were absent from work much less than those with families, The causes for absenge of married persons ranged m sickness to helping out with ily housework. “What do you think about this?” 1 asked William Judson Kibby, a char- acter specialist, who hag started many of New York's successful bank- ers and ol! men and the man who holds down the executive position on the right track. “Do you agree with Dr. Quinby in his statement that the lngle man is more dependable in in- Wtrial establishments, or any other fsiness as far as that Js concerned, fan the married man?” “He travels fastest who travels Jong,” laughed Mr-aKibby, “and 1 can fe that the man Who has a large family might be kept from his work owing ‘to ijiness ung family needs; but on the other hang, probably there are just as many single men who inight stay out late mgnts juzzing and forget to set their Lig Bens. dt seems tome it depends upon the man him- “Now there are just two types of men in the business world,” continued the character specialist, “and 1 have talked with so many of these types and listened to their experiences so many tmes that sometimes 1 feel almost eighty years old. “There is the young man who may be called w pioneer in his business, he 4s adventuresome, has the wandor- lust and doesn’t want to stick at any- thing until he lands the right thing. He ought to be a bachelor, “Then there is the young man who likes routine, who wants a steady position and that's all. He ought to » heeds a wife and can well heory that ‘two can live as cheaply as one.’ He will be bettor satisfied with his position and bis employers find he is a better man. “The men who is doing routing or office work is much better liked by his ¢:mployers for this reason: married man will stand rebuffs, he Pil stand correc:ion, He has to. 3ut the bachelor picks up his hat aad leaves the first time he 1s corrected or does not like the ‘boss's attitude.’ de can afford to, And nine times out of ten he finds a better position.” “Phen you would advise the am- bitious youth to stay single until he inakes his pile?” 1 asked, “Not at all," replied Mr. Kibby, “I would simply advise him to ask him- self these tWo questions: ‘Am I in- clined to have wanderlust or be ad- venturesome?' or ‘am I satisfied with my present position or line of work?’ if he finds he is ambitious he ought to wait and gratify his wanderiust, adventurous spirit before he marries. it he likes his work and ig content he vetter marry and have the compan- ionship of a wife. “I have the case of a young man who wanted to go out in some oil fields for a large concern, He had to rough it and bunk about, and before his employers sent him’ they made certain he was a single man. After five years of this sort of life he came back and sald he was ready to ‘set- tle down’ and marry, “Sixty-five per cent, of the travel- ling salesmen who are not married change about from one position to another until they get into the line they like, A married man cannot play this game of chance. “Employers who want @ man who 19 willing to play the game of chance, take @ larger shot, travel long dis- tanoes and live for several years out West or in oil fields prefer to have a single man. “But usually employers of office workers and the men who have rou- fine work prefer the married man. ‘They know he will stand correction, take suggestions and even rebufts, “Sometimes it 1s a good thing for ® young mam to have his wanderlust spirit subdued,” continued Mr. Kibby. “Not long ago a very bright young man who was working in an indus- trial plant In New England came to me and insisted he wanted to go out West. He had a wife and child and he was not the adventuresome wan- derlust type who makes good; there- fore he finally took my advice, stayed, and to-day is the manager of thé concern, If he had not been married wild horses could not have held him. “Not long ago while addressing some students from the New York University a fellow asked what was the matter with him, ‘I haven't any of this wanderlust spirit,’ he said. ‘I would be satisfied to settle down at some little position in New York and stay here all my life. Am I a nut?’ ere are many men like this,” ¢oncluded Mr. Kibby. ‘They are the normal, square-toed everyday fellows. ‘They make good employers and good husbands. But, on the other hand, all the pioneers in business adven- tures, the ol] men, the bankers, the Wall Stréet brokers, the fellows who want to see the country and change from one position to another until The land the ine they 1! seem 1s aay etna wat! they’ malts their f wh he companies who want that of mon prefer to have them sin- and they make better: husbands r they have established them- selves."

Perhaps this worntag of the Govern- ment against the use of scented Kisses might heve an ulterior motive at of decivasing the number of 4 However, Vere is a man with a G00d word’ tor kissing. a ‘Kisses are dangerous only when cold.
