 FINE WRITlNG-The Valley Tea and Coffee House has attracted large numbers of people to the window Of the store the past two days by the exhibit on the front glass of some of the post cards that were sent to the house during the recent contest, which consisted of seeing who could write 'Valley Tea and Coffee House" the most times on the back of an or dinary United States postal card. Not withstanding the fact that it was nee essary to read without a magnifying glass, one young lady wrote it plainly 1859 times. It. could be read easily without the aid of any kind of glass.
 THE MAUD POWELL CONCERT CO.-An subscribers for tickets to the Maud Powell concert which will take place Friday evening. Dec. 1lth, at the Arizona School of Music will be given two days in advance to reserve their seats. before the general seat sale be- gins. Subscription tickets may be found at the Adams Pharmacy, at the Redewin Music Go. and at the School of Music by Tuesday. The concert company is composed of Maud Powell the greatest of living lady violinists; May Mukle who ranks first among cel- To players. and Anne Ford, gifted English pianist, and the appearance of the famous trio here will be an event musieaIy. next to that of the Jan Ku- belik concert last season.
 A.RDOME THEATER-The Air dome theater opens tonight with a new change of. pictures and a full or chestra. Monday night will mark the advent of those two clever song and dance artists. "The Newma2s." This team comes to Phoenix well recom-
 mended. They have just finished ten weeks engagement at the Empire in san Francisco where they were or
 iginally booked for two weeks. This
 speells well for their act and the pa
 irons of the Airdome may look for
 something special. Manager Echlin is
 not afriad to spend the money neces-
 sary to bring good acts to his theater
 and the patronage he has enjoyed dur ing the past few months has demon strated to him that the Phoenix public know what is worth while and will patroniZe "a good show" even in dull times. The Airdome. which is now enclosed and comfortably heated, has l been crowded for the past 30 days, in fact the business has been phcnominal. Marvin, the "handcuff king will come to the Airdomc soon and Manager
 Echlin states he has booked some eX-
 ceptionally good acts for the holiday | season.

such as baskets, hampers, doll carriages,
etc, carpet weaving, hammock making
etc. In most of these industries parts
of the work can be performed by unskilled
hands, and the blind man of limited
capacity is soon able to earn modest
weekly wage; which, if he is ambitious,
may shortly be materially increased
A few of these workshops combine the
features of a home for the blind work
men; but the consensus of opinion seems
to be that it is wiser for them to live
away from their work, thereby gaining
the advantage of daily exercise in going
and coming, and also the change of en-
vironment and broadening of ideas that
result from intercourse with sighted
people
Blind women, under competent super
vision, are doing excellent work in lace
making, knitting, crocheting, the manu-
facture of hat and bonnet frames, raffia
work, etc, also in hand and machine
sewing.
All these occupations are fitted to the
unsighted of average capacity; while
for those of greater ability and higher
ambitions the practice of massage, the
operation of telephone switchboards,
typewriting from graphophone dictation,
etc, offer splendid fields for remunerative
employment which are being successfully
filled by growing number of efficient
workers. The teaching of music and the
tuning Of pianos and organs furnish a

living for many more endowed along
these lines, and instances are frequent
where blind men and women have achieved
success in mercantile business, established
newspaper and magazine agencies, small
stores, tea and coffee routes, ETC.
For the aged or infrm, and also for
blind children too young for admission
into school or institution, the kindly aid
and sympathy of a generous public will
ever be extended; to the former in estab-
fishing and maintaining homes, in teach
ing them to read Moon print, and in pro
viding mental occupation of some kind
that will draw their thoughts away from
their affection To the latter, kinder
gartens, that they may at the earliest
possible moment be started along the
right lines for future development
The importance of this work is now
very generally being recognized; but
over and above it all rises the need of the
adult blind of earning capacity He
needs recognition as fellow member of
the community, the same right hand of
fellowship in daily life that is accorded
to his sighted friends, the appreciation
on the part of the public that he is no
different from other men save for the alb
sence of sight and the result of his en-
vironment.
opportunity, Not CHdI1ty, Is WHdL He
asks, and the response is coming to his
cry. Women's clubs, public and private
philanthropic organizations, and indi-
viduals everywhere are interesting them
selves in their sightless neighbors, and
gradually in the larger communities this
interest is taking definite form in the es-
Enlistment of workshops, associations
for the improvement of conditions, etc
There is need for many more, and for a
better understanding of the fact that in
extending the hand of opportunity there
is greater gain and profit to all concerned
than in giving the well filled purse of
charity. For in providing occupation
for the blind. every worker is transformed
from drag upon the community into a
wealth producing unit; from a helpless
burden upon society into self respecting
man or woman; from hopeless groper
in the darkest depths of despair into a
sentient human being eager to live and
grateful for the opportunity of working
for the living he enjoys.

In the case of IS, the number continually
repeated is 3; while in the case of ~ the
repeating number Tor repetend y is
S57-which happens to be the number
B mentioned before! If the reader cares
to perform the analogous division for the
fractions 1-17, 1-1o, 1928, and 1-2o, he will
obtain as repetends the numbers A, c,
D, and E respectively. But why should
the set of digits in each of these numbers
be unchanged by multiplication?
Well, notice that the repetend for II
contains six digits. This shows that, in
the division process, six different re-
nainders are obtained,- the numbers
from to 6. Now, to multiply the repe-
tend B by any integer, say 3, is to obtain
the repetend for 81 But this latter has
the same digits in the same order as the
repetend for II, since to obtain it We
start by dividing 7 into some one of the
remainders wiz. 81 occurring in the di-
vision for ~. Thus we have:

Likewise for III, whose repetend has
sixteen digits, every remainder from to
10 occurs in the division; and. hence to
multiply by any number, such as 2, gives
the same figures as would be obtained by
starting in the division for 1-I7 at the
step where the remainder equals q In
fact, Mr.. Roth's number is the repetend
obtained by Transforming 2-17 into a
decimal fraction
Any repetend, whose number of digits
is one less than the denominator of the
equivalent common fraction, will have
the same property.

other than a decimal, having the prop
erty, just take c or E and move the final
I to first place, emitting the decimal
point. In such a case, however, when
multiplying by a number larger than Q,
to have the rule work it is necessary after
multiplication to carry the first digit and
add it to the last as described.
Another Analyst

" New Jersey, also contributes the
following:
Mr. Roth's combination works all
right if multiplied by the digits 1 to 8;

Awakening of Public Interest


IT is the recognition of this fact and the
necessity of providing opportunity for
the adult blind that is to-day causing a
wave of public interest and effort to spread
over almost every State in the Union
This wave of interest is awakening
public sentiment to the importance of
establishing, in the more populous centers,
workshops for the blind, where those who
are capable only of manual occupations
may busy themselves in remunerative
work fitted to their ability and strength
remunerative because the workshops,
when presided over by competent boards
Of administration, provide the business
and executive management, SO often lack
ing in the individual blind man. These
workshops are in some communities
controlled by the State, in others by pri-
vate philanthropy. They buy the raw
material, provide the means for manu-
featuring it, market the output of the
shop, and pay the workers a fair wage
for their labor.
The work carried on in these shops in
cludes the making of brooms the Gaming
of chairs, the weaving of rugs and drap-
cries, the manufacture and renovation of
mattresses, willow ware in great variety,

IN your SUNDAY MAG
L Az1NF for October

IS. Edward Roth called attention to a
striking popularity of the unmber 1,17o,-
47o,5SS, 235,2o4 If multiplied by 2, 3,
d. or any other integer less than 9, the
product will contain the same digits in
the same order, simply beginning at a
different place in the set. Thus, multiply
ing by 7, we have S,235,294, II7, 647 ,o5s,
which is the same set but begins with s
instead of I.
This surprising property of Mr.. Roth's
number, which he says was accidentally
discovered, suggested to the writer the
problem of finding other numbers having
the same popularity, and also of explain
ing the property.
In the first place, we may remark con-
corning his number that, if the chosen
rnultiplier be Tor any higher integer up
to 1o), the product will have II d1g1ts IN
stead of 10; but even then, If the digit
in the first place were carried and added
to that in the last place, the same fact
would be true as for smaller multlpllers.
Thus, multiplication by 10 gives 1885,
52o,4II,764.7o4, and if the leading I IS
removed and added to the final 4, the set
of digits is the same as at the start.
Again, if instead of Mr.. ROth's number
the same digits be taken (but starting
with the zero, then this number A .o5SS,-
2s5,2o4,1I7,6 47 will yield the same dlglts
when multiplied by any integer up to
1o and without the need of carrying any
digit back Further, multiplying the
number A by II, we find 5000 ,ooo,-
600, 900 900. This remarkable result may
suggest to some readers the explanation
of the peculiarities of the number A.
the reason being very simple when once
found.
Other numbers of the same sort are:
B .142,S57; c .o52,631,57S,o47, 36S,42I;
D o434,7S2 COS, COS ,652,17S,9I3; and +
o344,s27, $50, zoo 500. 551,724,I37,o31. 1t
we multiply by I, c by 10, by 30. or
E by 90, number is obtained consisting
of o's only; while, if we multiply by in
tegers less than those mentioned, the set
of digits in any of the numbers A to is
changed only as regards its starting point.
To explain the foregoing, let us recall
briefly how an ordinary fraction is changed
into a decimal fraction. The following
examples illustrate the process (of divld-
ing the numerator by the deno1ninator):

Unwise Connection.

There cannot be doubt but that
competition stimulates trade: but
trade is the natural outgrowth of CIV
ilization and found its~clIgin when in.
telligent man discovered that he had a
few wants, and that they could be sup
piled by commodities others possessed
and which he did not have himself,
and that he had surplus of things
that he could trade for articles others
had and which he needed. Thus it can
be seen that want, demand, supply, all
go to make up that which is the life
of trade. Competition is merely an
indication of mans ambition to ex-
eel his neighbor, to gain more in bar
ter and trade than what would in
ordinary channels come to him. It is
merely to seek, to reach out after
things desired. From the fact that 80
per cent. of those who engage in the
mercantile business fail, it seems
more appropriate to say that competi-
ton, unhealthy and not directed by
sound Judgment, instead of being the
life of trade, is one Of its fatal dls.
eases.

PRICES CT COMMODITIES.
Labor Should Reap Its Reward" Is
the Keynote of Commerce.

The matter of prices and profit Is
always interesting, not alone to retail
ers of merchandise, but to consumers
as well. There has been nothing that
has been so troublesome to every class
as the matter of prices. 1t is all easy,
there is no great problem to solve,
and 1t ali rests in the little phrase,
labor should reap its reward" Cost
is an all important thing in eyery
product. There is the raw material,
the expense of putting the manufac-
tured article in mercantile form. 1t
matters not what the product is, it
is the expense of preparing it for tho
consumer, the price of the raw mate
rial, cost of manufacture and distribu-
ton that counts. Allowance must be
made for an equitable compensation to
all having part in the production of
any article of commerce We hear
OF cut prices, of cheapness in this or
That staple, but when it is given con-
sideration, where is the cheapness?
Every article has or should have a
standard value. There is no good
reason why the worker in the shop
should not have fair and equitable
compensation for his labor The man.
ufacturer who has thousands of cap
ital invested should have interest and
Fay for his time; the man who places
the product in the hands of the re-
taller is entitled to pay according to
his ability as a salesman, and the
retailer should have equitable inter-
est on the capital he has invested and
compensation for his time and labor.
Here you have all in a nutshell. The
elimination of the middleman de-
stroys one of the established customs
and industries. When any article of
commerce is placed ON the market at
a lower price than cost of manufac-
ture and the expense of placing it be-
fore the consumer, somebody is the
loser. Here is food for reflection, and
it behooves the merchants and con-
sumers to think the matter over.

Merit VS.. Prizes.

Premium schemes and prize Offer
ings held out as bait to the people to
get them to use certain brands of
goods should be very carefully consid-
cred. The most common plan is the
certificate deal, by which is promised
some article represented to be worth
the total amount paid for goods, if
only a certain number be saved Com
mon business sense assures that when
such proposition is made the goods
must be of an inferior quality, or that
there is a catch somewhere Goods of
merit do not have to carry a prize in
order that they be in demand People
are quick to buy goods of merit, par
ticularly in the staple line, If they
know of them. Of the standard brands
of foodstuffs, of cigars, of thread, of
different other things, how many are
giving prizes? This is not the case
with numerous classes Of goods that
are sold with a premium attachment.
Most of them are of inferior quality
and the price paid for them more than
covers the cost of the premium given.
1t is the old glimmer of getting some
thing for nothing, and the women who
want trading stamps, or prize with
their purchases, pay pretty dearly "for
their whistles"
