FAVOR OF wooers;
Classification of Men According
to Ability in Corporation.
Over a million of our soldiers an 1
' J 1 ! '
army officers wore classified according
to special abilities and the ofl'i<trs
periodically rated for efficiency

says Henry Wood Shelton in the Phil
adelphia Ledger. Progressive employers
and employment manapets
have long been looking for accurate
ways of sizing men up. Today they
are employing the most scientific
psychological tests anil expert ratings.
These ratings generally, as in
the army, involve judgments only
downward from above. The mutual
ratings developed in the Emergency
Fleet Corporation added judgments in
from the side (by those of equal rank
on each other) and up from below,
giving three points of view instead of
one. At the same time these ratings
were so simple that they were carried
on by the employes themselves on
their own initiative. In this lies
their peculiar value as an example
for industrial ground in general.
"What's the use of trying to do a
good job? Pull is the only thing
that counts. If you want to got
ahead, you've got to play up to the
boss!" This outburst from cne of
the employes of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation is not only echoed
but acted upon by thousands of work
ers in this country who have been
driven to such cynicism by the inevitable
logic of experience.
'Most foremen are chosen because
Viov aw liValv InnVinir fpllnws Thf?rO
is not much else to judge by." The
man, who said this to me the other
day was assistant to the president
and in charge of industrial relations
in one of our largest Philadelphia
manufacturing plants?one recognized
by both labor and capital as having
made distinct progress toward
democracy in industry.
Coming from two extremes in the
industrial scale, these remarks touch
the same canker sore in our industrial
life, viz., individual injustice.
How can an employe keep up hi s interest
and enthusiasm when time and
again he sees the wrong man get
ahead? Hrw can the executive hold
the confidence of the crowd when,
however innocently, he picks the less
deserving man? Simple justice in
recognizing and rewarding nv rit is
the ro<-k foundation of morale. Yet
our whole system of judgment, merit
from the top down, is constantly destroying
morale instead of buil Mng it
up. Nor can morale be manuf' ctu.ed
by any amount of humanitarism
or welfare work, tn the minds of the
lank and Tile these never take the
place of simple justice.
The executive knows his handicap.

Jonos than is revealed in his "likely
looks'* is a real problem. Some executives
resort to espionage. Others
who won't stop spying ask the opinions
of those they trust. At best
the information gained is fragmen&nd
to some extent prejudiced. So
lank. No matter which rank knows
The employes would only be too
glad to help the boss with their judge
ment based on first-hand knowledge
of each other, if they could only get
it across safely in some impersonal
way. Lacking tho opportunity, they
naturally relax into an attitude ol
irresponsibility?"every man for him
self and the deveil take the hind
most."
What is the way out of this two
homed dilema? If constructive de
mocracy is to succeed, the way ou
must sacrifice neither the executive',
responsibility to make decisions no
the employes' interest in the justic
of those decisions. Who knows
man's real merit best, his superior}
his equals or his subordinates ;

brought together in any fair effoi
to get at the whole truth. This I bi
lieve, is the "way out." It has a coi
crete, practical illustrtation in tl
mutual rating plan developed by tl
employes in one branch of the Emo
gency Fleet Corporation home offi<
during the administration of Vi<
President Howard Coonley.

put all three judgments together into f
a total rating. No effort was made >
to force the use of the results in ac- ^

simply recognized the moral force of t
such collective judgments publicly t
expressed The branch members f
chose as qualities on which to rate
each other?personality, ability and e
industry. The voting was by secret ^
hallot, the ballot form containing a
list of all members, with a column
for each quality. A voter indivatod
his estimate by a percentage between ?
50 and 100, entered opposite any ~
name he knew and under any quality
he knew about. The secrecy of the r
ballot, as in a political election, in- ?
sured freedom and safety in express- *
ing or withholding judgment. An a
impartial representative from outside
the group was elected to total '
average and tabulate the results, t
Under each quality all the names
were listed according to relative ?
standing, standing with the highest *
at the top. The actual percentage of
ratings on each person were given 1
opposite his name?first, the rating c
by all voters without regard to rank, *
and then the rating by each rank, ^
(higher, equal and lower separately. 1

complete tabulation of "score card."

Anent leap year, the Baltimore Sun (
has the following to say:
The first day of 1920, came on '
Thursday, but, more important than <
that, it is the first day of a leap
year, the sort of year in which a
gentleman finds it difficult to continue
to be a gentleman. In a leap
year a man may say "No, thank you,"
in the sweetest possible manner and
straightway get a deputation as an
utterly worthless brute, who probably
would beat a wife if he had one any
way.
All this has nothing to do with th<
, real meaning of leap year, and to
[ some people who have the peri oil all
' mixed up with woman suffrage a
f brief statement of its real meaning
may be a bit of news.
Julius Caesar's astronomers are to
blame for it. In the year 46 B. C.
- somewhere around the time the lean
- and hungry Cassius was getting tiro 1
t of being hungry and began plotting
s to get rid of the biggest eater in the
r empire?namely Julius himself?
c these astronomers decided to divide
a the world's time up into solar years.
After a long conference the subcomn
mittee brought into the conference a
s recommendation that a year consist
P- of 365 days. This displeased a cer1
tain faction, which is said to have
>e wanted an extra day in which to rert
cover from Christmas celebration;?
e- Their argument was that a man
i- scarcely had time to sober up in six
le days, and how could he make decent
io New Year's resolutions if he wasn't
r- entirely sober?
ce Ended in Compromise,
cc After a stubborn fight, during
which prices went up and strikes wcr<
e, frequent, and the world was believe'
nt to be going to the dogs, they com
id promised on a solar year of 365 day)
to and 6 hours, saving up the six hour!

lie agreed opinions finally was that
>nce every four years was enough 1
ime for making New Year's resoluions,
and that there wasn't any such
estival as Christmas yet anyway.
Hence leap year. They stuck the
xtra day onto February, which had
>een treated niggardly by the Caesar
an astronomers in the matter of
lays.
Then, so legend has it, the ladies <
rot busy. Here was a nice, long year
?bigger by a whole day than an orlinary
year?in which one's age was
lot added to one bit. A sort of "barrain
year"?an extra-good value for
he money. 'So the ladies grabbed it
md took it for themselves.
Why it first became a subject of ;
aw in Scotland is not recorded in the
looks, unless the reason be that the (
adies were particularly strong in
Scotland. They certainly got Bobbie <
>urns all worked up, and they pro- ]
luced "The Lady of the Lake" and
hat other lady to spoil whose wed- .
ling plans young Loch invar came all
he way from Denver?or was it Los 11
Vngeles? At any rate, in the yea-. '
28S the following law was enacted
n Scotland.
Woman's Rights in 1288.
"It is a statute and ordaist that
luring the rain of hir maist bl'ssit (
dcgcstc, for ilk yeare knowne as lepe
reave, ilk mayden lad ye of bothe
lig'ie and lowe estait shall line liberte

vyfc, he shall be mulcted in ye sum
me pundis or less, as his estait may
>e; except and awis gif he can make
t. appeare that he is bet roth it anc t
?ither woman he shall then be free."
Which statute need not mean much '
:o our Baltimore gentlemen, the sum
)f "ane pundis or less," being too
Dbsecure a matter for even a Supreme
Court judge to settle upon.
fBut there are worse things than
''ane pundis or less," and they may
come to pass in the most unforseen j
ways?an extra low bow when surrendering
a seat in a street car, picking
up fallen gloves and handkerchiefs,
waxing too eloquent in dissertations
upon women's rights, getting
chummy with telephone girls.
Worse?or better? You'll have to
ask Julius Caesar's astronomers. Or
pick out any 10 married men and
average up their answers.

CAPT. F. W. LACHICOTTE DEAD
Georgetown, Jan. 20.?Word was
received yesterday of the sudden
illness and death of Captain Francis
W. Lachicotte on Sunday morning at
his residence at Waverly Mills, this
county. Capt. Lachicotte was taken
ill Saturday night after retiring but
refrained from calling the members
of the household and medical attention
was not sent for until Sunday
morning, arriving too late to give
relief. Death was probably caused
i by an acute attack of indigestion.
Capt. Lachicotte was seventy years
of age but extraordinary vigorous
? physically and mentally to the last.
* For many years since the abandonF
ment of rice planting he and his
, brother, Capt. St. J. M. Lachicotte

Very Common Cause
Pepto-Mangan Overcomes Anemia
and Tends to Prevent
Headaches
o
When one has an occasional headache
it is usually due to some transient
or passing? cause, such as indigestion,
eye strain, over-ti redness,
etc. When, however, one suffers
from frequent periodic headaches
there is always some special reason I
for it. Among? the most common 8
of such reasons is Anemia or Blood- I

habits of life keep them too muctrtW J
doors. The one important necessity
in such cases is to build up the quan- |
tity and quality of the weak and rl
watery blood. Gude's Pepto-Man- I
pan is exceptionally valuable for I
this purpose. It increases the num- I
ber and improves the quality I
red blood cells, those vital lfttle I
bodies which carry nutrition to all I
parts of the body. It improves the I
appetite, imparts color and strength I
to the body generally. After a short I
course of Pepto-Mangan the head- I
aches decrease in frequency and se
verity, and finally disappefl^ If they I
are due to Anemia. Pepw-Mangan I
may be had either in liquid or tablet I
form, as preferred. When buying I
Pepto-Mangan be sure the name I
"Gude's" is on the package. Without
