Great JOY was manifested at the
chamber of commerce yesterday morn
ing at 10:3O o'clock, when. Mr.. ant
Mrs. Frank Virgins appeared upor
the scene They had just arrived home
from the Atlantic City exhibit ant
they were simply overwhelmed will
greetings from the attendants anc
others at the chamber of commerce.
"Give me a chance to get little
settled and collect my thoughts and
I'll tell you all about it, said Mr.
Virgins soon after his arrival
In speaking of his coming from the
Los Angeles exhibit at Atlantic City
Mr.. Virgins said:
I'VE left Atlantic City In sunshine
Philadelphia in rain, Buffalo in a bliz-
zard, northern Ohio and Indiana. in
snow six inches deep and Chicago the
windy city with breezes of thirty
miles an hour. But as we entered
California everything was lovely"
Regarding the exhibit, Mr. Virgins
said:
II think the exhibit was one of the
best propositions ever installed by the
chamber of commerce. 1 wish, how
ever, to correct an erroneous statement
given out regarding the attendance
to the exhibit During the 100 days
350, 900 people visited the exhibit. That
was remarkably good in the line OF
good attendance, taking under consid-
Grafton that there were only eight good
California days in the 100, the remain
ing being cloudy and rainy, and to
cap the climax. there was only one
clear sunshiny Sunday in the whole
time. Still the people did not appear
to heed the bad weather but contin-
ued to pour in all the time. This en-
abed us to talk California, especially
the southern part, and Los Angeles in
particular, to a good finish, as the
contrast of the weather and condi-
tions was so great.
Exhibit Is Educational
Everybody is interested in the con-
ditions of the plan of holding the ex-
hibit OF the board walk which is
a drawing card. 1t is deemed a great
educational feature the way every
thing is conducted. Even the globe
trotters' who have never seen South
ern California, are much surprised and
astonished at the great success of our
olive oil industry and the extent of
our variety Of produce.
1--WE noticed among the visitors a
desire to become more thoroughly ac-
quainted with California products,
many claiming that. they could not get
them in Quantities desired. This
seemed more apparent after the pas
sage OF the pure food bill, showing

no one would know it was woman he
was dealing with if business was car
ried on by letter.
Foreign exchange is one OF the
things of the street that few men really
understand l. is a profit in importing
gold in buying and selling bills OF ex-
change. anc many men Of the street DO
not even attempt 10 understand it.
With Q. SCHUMACHER & Co. Is Mrs. Su-
zanne Fl. Schumacher. who is an expert
in foreign exchange. and who writes
many of the letters on exchange for the
Arm. She commands good salary.
One of the difficult positions IN
large commission house is that OF
cashier. Yet a woman held this posi-
tion in one of the biggest houses on the
street for a long time. A A. House.
man & Co. had Miss Jennie Pierce IN
that capacity for years. and she only
left that house recently to go with an
other one at an increased salary. Her
salary was in the neighborhood OF
$4,000.
There is one woman who occupies
unique position on the street and that
is Mrs. Eugenia A Gaylord. Mrs. Gay
lore is probably the only woman bond
broker in the country. Just as Miss
Giles is the only woman cotton stats
tician- She IS a hustler and knows the
value OF bonds as well as any man. and
what is more TO the point. she knows
how to place their value in pleasing
light to the purchaser. The result is
that she sells many bonds and makes a
large income from her commissions.
She is very religious and all over
the walls OF her Offices are hung BfbIi-
cal quotations with a few religious
dont's also. She has the confidence OF
many bond houses. and in this way
many a good commission IS placed in
her hands.

ground, make their dispositions, to con-
centrate their forces at the most adj
vantageous points and to get into con-
tact with the enemy and bring on the
desired climax in a manner calculated
to win the approval of the umpires.
The chief umpires at military ma

of judges and referees as to lnooted

The minor umpires are needed to de-
