GOING TO EUROPE.
Expert On Cotton Seed Will Advocate
 Use In Germany.

Atlanta, November 13.-(Special.)- )-.. Albert G. Perkins of Memphis, Tenn, recently nominated by the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers association to succeed J. Lovic Benton of Monticello, Ga, resigned as United States expert abroad on cotton seed and its by products, spent today in the city. MT. Perkins was here for the purpose of conferring with President L. A. Ran som of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crush ers' association in regard to his work, which he will take up in Europe immediately. He left at noon for Wash ington, where he goes to receive i'm structions from Secretary Straus of the Department of Commerce and La- bor, from whom he receives this ap- pointment.
 Mr. Perkins will sail for Europe on Saturday and will take Il work in Germany. He states tha- the great interest which has been aroused on the continent over this southern pro- duct, both when converted into oil as a salad dressing and into a meal as a cattle feed, has awakened the interest of the United States government.
 MT. Perkins states that he will prob ably visit every country in Europe be- fore returning, and expects the tour to take up three years.

 The business doctor" is a distinctive twentieth century product. He goes to any firm asking his services and from his wide knowledge of things abolishes old ideas and suggests new methods, revlses the advertising. makes changes in office force and salaries and perhaps organizes welfare work in the larger places. He is a systematizer who fills a long felt want in many places.

The eraser that was once set in state as a sort of turban on the pencil top has deluged the patent office with it's many later forms. The latest one is held in an adjustable shield which al- lows the user to rub out one letter, or two, or a whole word without injuring the rest of the copy Pins. which have too often lost a man business deal by puneturing the finger of the unsus- pecting recipient of a letter, gave place some time ago to clips and eyelets. and a string bound package in these days of rubber bands looks as archaic as quill would in a self-filling ink well.
 Fire-proof safes protect the valuable papers of the twentieth century business man. an automatic cashier handles the money, wire holders measure and keep hls coins in convenient stacks, machine au- tomaueally counts and seals his coins in labelled packages, another counts his paper money by pneumatic power ana places the bills in packages of so many hundred each, so emancipating the weary fingers of the human cashier. Special ma chimes set a watermark In his checAs' bills of exchange, bank notes and other papers whose figures might be raised. Or the up-to-date man may use a check book arranged like the money-order books III postoffiees, the irregular margin on the left where the slip was detached showing in printed figures the amount of the check and the stub showing similar amount. Machines register the coming and going of his clerks, later device computes the actual amount of work each stenographer does, and cash register invented by d Pennsylvania baker will tell of his credit or his cash sales, and keep tab on the work of each individual clerk.
 One of the greatest revolutions is that which abolished the ponderous ledger from the bookkeepers desk and substi- tuted the loose-leaf ledger. Here he may keep his accounts, typewriter if he chooses, removing old accounts as they are closed and having no dead weight to lift about. Carefully bound, by keys if- serted through binders of varied makes, there is no danger of the loss of the leaves. Many officers keep their ledgers on cards in upright filing cases and find them even more convenient. The card in- dex on a large scale has invaded the rail- road office as well as the government census office, and by simple system the New York Central transfers nearly 200 waybills in one day, work that clerk would require full half month to do in the old way. Catalogs for names are found in every business office, and Sena- tor LaFolette is one of the many men

tableau that revealed TO me in miniature
the chief cause of unhappy marriages.
"A little boy and a little girl were dig

tools and said:
Clara, do you want TO be my wife?'
Yes said the little girl, with a happy
smile.

up his feet towards her.
