In other words, +Mr, Mirschel wants to be mayor of Hempstead and \he is setting his course along that line, You can't blame a fellow for being politically ambitious and there is no reason why he shouldn't aspire to be the mayor. Others have, some successfully and some not. But I would have liked his chances better had he come out very frankly and said what was what to the faces of the cops and -not hold- out -encouragement, knowing that the times were all to the contrary; ROBABLY he had no inten- tion of bringing up the question» of increased salaries \for the cops, a problem with which practically every village in the county is faced with each «passing - years <He ~was> forced Into this. \The mayor wanted me to be sure to give you his praises,\ he said and some inconsiderate cop stopped a spoon halfway into a slab of bisquet tortoni to shout. \He didn't say anything about raises, did he?\ This left Mr. Mirschel a beau» tiful opening, of which he should have taken-advantage. Instead of dodging it with the assur- ance that the village board was behind them and that when the question of a raise in pay for the cops came before it the board \would do everything in' its power\ to see that the cops got what was coming to them, he should have replied with facts in a straightforward manner. Certainly the village board is behind the police force. It has got to be because it is a force\ of its own choice. Certainly, too, it should \do everything in its power\ to see that the cops get what is coming to them. But now is not the time for in- creased salaries, whether it be in private employment or mu« micipal employment. Whether we like it or not, now it what might be called) a \marking time\ era because revenues are down and when: revenues are down it isn't good business to in- crease expenses; When revenues go up and 'business Is' good the normal- tendency is to go along and, if possible, creward . good and faithful. service. I am all for better pay for the But current economic condi- tions are not favorable and un» til they are the boys must ex= pect to get along with their pres- ent salaries. Mr. Mirschel should have told the cops that. There 'is no advantage to be gained in kidding people. ___ In Nassau County 25 YEARS AGO (From Bound of - Daily Review and Nassau Daily Star) (25 YEARS AGO Construction of East * Rock» away's long-needed soad be- tween Atlantic avenue and the railroad station was started this week.\ The\ ground was being prepared through: the Rhame and Denton estates. The road is to be a wide, central highway and is to be named Phipps ave~ nue, in honor of one of the vil- lage's most distinguished citi- zens. Primary nominations for all county offices and for the office of assemblyman have been de- cided upon by the Nassau County Republican party, as a move in the direction 6f political reform.

This price, about $2,200 per front foot, is said to be a record price in this vicinity, The pro-~ posed new bank building is to cost about $250,000. Mr. and Mrs. George B.

Lehman Brothers of New York city ex- plained that the bond market is so uncertain they could not make a bid on the proposed $5,- 000,000 county bond issue, as they had planned to do. The failure to receive bids is not considered as a reflection upon the county's credit, but rather as an indication of bad finan- clal conditions. It was explained that the cities of Buffalo and Rochester both had failed to re- ceive bids on proposed bond is-- sues recently. Increased patronage of Long Island pleasure resorts this sum-~ mer is anticipated due to a re- duction of Long Island railroad rates, which will go into effect next week.

This is a move in the right direction, very much so. Bridgeport Firm Dramatized Report To Employees 'T remained for the corporation of Manning, Maxwell and Moore Co., of Bridgeport to dramatize the idea. It is said to be the first of its kind, The con- cern hired the auditorium of the high school for an evening meet- ing. Some 750 out of 1,000 em- ployees braved the storm and attended. The president ex- mined where the income came m and where it went. He answered questions. Ke used lantern slides. He showed them that out of the income dollar, 84 cents went to manufacturing; 13 cents to selling; 3% cents to mana nt; % cent to trans- portation; 1 cent for goods re- turned; 5 cents to taxes; 4 cents By William H. Kniffin could buy new furniture for three rooms. Employees can get that picture. He told them first about the affairs of afterward the company and about business in semployees instead of borrowing money from the banks,\ Loyalty Of Employees Essential To Business SUCH a meeting cannot but result in good will-a bet- ter feeling between the office and the workers. They no doubt went back to work the next morning feeling that they knew something about their company they had never been allowed to know before. Undoubtedly they are better workers as a result of this enlightenment, more so than if they were told it was none of their business. Upon their productivity, their loyalty, their cooperation success de- pends. Had the president drawn a blue picture and told them frankly that they would either have to reduce wages or close up, no doubt the vote would have been to cut wages, because they would understand the why of it all, It would be well if em- ployers all over the country thus took their people into their con- fidence. The idea is going to spread rapidly, because of its soundness from a phychological as well as a business stanopoint. It is far better to have a heart- children, then drifted apart.

There is no better time to win a woman than during the re- bound of a disappointed love. But don't be importunate and try to rush matters. This is a time for gentleness and under- standing. Be as different from the other man as possible. Show her by actions rather than words that there are still good fish in the sea-sound, dependable \fish.\ That's what the feminine heart longs for: Security, fidelity. The lover who stays devoted; the husband who remains the friend. & & « lind * Having read and en- joyed your column immensely for years I now take my turn for advice. I work for a store which has a non-marriage Aile to the merchants on the way. Yes, Jason Whitney surely took a special interest in cheese. He left the company to sell cheese for the Beechnut company, And here he did something that made him appear false to cheese. He advised the head of the com- pany that cheese didn't fit in So they made him manager of the chewing gum depArtment. However, Jason Whitney couldn't remain away forever from his first love, cheese, After he had put chewing g into practically all the small stores, the butcher shops, barber shops and restaurants, the work be- came easy. Nothing to do but take Orders. So Jason went to the president of the Phoenix Cheese company, asked for a job as his assistant and got it. When the Phoenix company consoli- dated with the Kraft Cheese company, Jason Whitney was the president. \Well summing it all up, J. F.,\ I said, \what do you think was the reason for your suc- cess?\ \Hard. work,\ he replied. But as I look back over his route, and analyze the man, I find other qualities which I consider just as responsible for his success as hard work. I find resourcefulness, perseverance, faithfulness.
