PROFIT SHARING IN STORES.

There is a growing disposition on the
part OF department stores to look after
the welfare of their employees. The
question Of wages. always a source Of
grave concern, is being adjusted on the
basis Of ccOmplishment-that is. in
many Of the stores salaries are fixed by
the quantity OF goods that each clerk
can scll-snd the plan IS likely TO be IN
iversally adopted. Filene's in Boston
has a nearly complete system OF what
IS practically prOfit-sharing. In New
York the plan OF paying salespeople on
a percentage basis is called paying them
what they earn for the store. If a clerk
IS paid $3.50 a week and the selling-ex-
pense IN the department is 3 per cent,
she is supposed to he selling $3.50 worth
OF goods a week. Now il she sells an
average Of 800 worth she Is worth 50
a week. so the firm can afford TO raise
her salary to $ or $3.50 and can still re-
duce the selling-eXpense so far as she is
concerned 1t is worked out differently

Advance in Price CounterbaIanced by Furnishings
s. That Formerly Appeared Only in Expensive
ResidenceS-Some Recent Examples

A point made by a well-lcnown build
err a few days ago. albeit not entirely
now but convincing when duly consid-
cred. was that notwithstanding the
higher prices asked for houses now or
the larger rentals charged, there had
really been no advance taking into
consideration the many improvements
and Convenlences that are now required.
This was with reference more particu-
larly 10 tie class OF new two-story
houses containing from six TO eight
rooms, which have been going up IN
many sections, adding much by the at
tractiyeness of their design and the ex-
collence Of their construction 10 the
neighborhoods in which they have been
erected.
He recalled that only a few years ago
builders were their own architects and
that in general the variation in design
Of the houses was limited to n few set
styles Today even a single house cost
ing as little as 5000 is intrusted to an
architect. and each and every owner
requires something new and original in
the design Such things as tiled bath
rooms. hot water heat. reception halls.
laundrics, electric lighting ana the
many other essentials OF modern
dwelling were confined only 10 high
priced residences and for people Of
wealth who were able to pay and sdld
pay good sums for those privileges.
Today all these conveniences are to be
had in many OF the modest dwellings
provided for that vast number of our
population whose income Is measured,
but who nevertheless require the COM
forts and the luxuries only lately
vouchsafed 10 their more fortunate fel-
low-beings.
