TRICK OF THE COLLEGE GIRL
Shoe Clerk Explains How She Gets

clerk the other day. ut beats me.
Here comes in Miss College Maid,
and she is as fascinating as she can
be. She picks out S. pair of shoes
as perfectly lovely and won't we
charge them up to pap which we GER
tainly will do, because pa has noti-
fed us that his credit is o. X and is
at his daughters disposal.
But next day in comes Miss Col
lege Maid with her shoes in box un.
der her arm. She would really like
to look at those $3.50 shoes and she
finally buys them. And won't we
give her the change back. he says
with smile that will tilt most men
from their balance.
"Of course, II a man made such a
proposition we'd call the police, but
were apt 10 bow to the Miss College
Maid with the smile. and hand over
the $3.50 to her. as If she had asked

Then while Miss College Maid trots

We puzzle our heads as to whether

have buncoed dad although, to be
sure, we charge II to his account.

NATIVE NEW WORKERS SCARCE.
About One Out Of Every Ten in the
CITY Population.

Now that thirty emergency" census
takers finished the tail end of their
work a few days ago we may soon
have light on an interesting question
that this enumeration will throw some
light upon. Out of Gotham's 100000
souls how many. are actual New York
ers-persons born in this city? TAX
ing the last federal census as criter'
ion there is about one native born
New Yorker out of every ten in popu
lation. Still, even this small balm to
Knickerbocker families-39O, o0O-pe-.
sons-has to be greatly reduced, for in
1t Is included every person OF whom
no actual knowledge could be obtained
of whom the haste of the census
tempted to throw under this general
heading. Amateur statisticians have
decided that there are about l2O,OOh
citizens of New York who have been
born of parents natives Of this coun-
try. These delivers in the census re-
suits are OF the opinion that II the
qualification were that both their par
ents were natives of this country mo-
more than 5000 persons could qualify
! as New Workers of the second AmerI
can generation. Children OF parents
who were born abroad numbered l.
$4,000 in the last federal census.
There were then more than 100000
Americans here who were born in ott-
er states, New York state leading with
contribution of 10000 and New Jer-
sey following with $4,000; $4,000 were
born in Pennsylvania, $4,000 in Mass
