Club Savants Hear Story of Naked Chicks

last summer from an incubator on e
farm near Delhi, N. Y, while DR..
Chapman was spending his vacation
there. They lived through the sum-
mer, but froze early in the fall. DR..
Chapman took notes with great care
of their daily experiences, and the
cosmic scientists listened with bated
breath as he read his report on the
phenomenon.
The naked chickens, he declared,
didn't like their condition. Hair re-
storer, vaseline and other things were
used in the effort to induce feathers
to grow, but without avail. The
chicks lost appetite, their modesty
was constantly being shocked by the
curiosity of a prying world, and when
cold weather came they died early.
But to the Cosmos scientists the
question of profound concern relates
to the possibility of developing breed
of hairless chickens that will not sea-
son the stew with pin feathers nor
require in the kitchen the difficult
work of picking. DR.. Chapman pointed
out with eloquent earnestness the
benefits humanity would derive. He
did not doubt that men in native
state were once as hairy as monkeys;
civilization substituted clothes, and
the hair vanished. Why not likewise
with poultry, The club is deeply
stirred and further experiments in
bald poultry are contemplated.

ton is refused by the officials.
1t is known that later, when the
counting of the duke Of the Abruzzi
was approaching a crisis, that Senator
Elkins requested friends in Rome to
ascertain and advise him what would
be the status of his daughter if she
married into the royal family. He
was notified that the marriage would
be considered morganatic unless the
Italian parliament passed an act giving
the daughter full recognition. He was
at the same time warned that the Ital-
ian parliament could subsequently re-
peal it's legislation, leaving the mar
riage in the same position as If the
act of recognition had not been
passed.
1t is understood here that Senator
Elkins did not make any request of
the state department to ascertain for
him the status of American women
marrying either a member of the
royal family or an Italian nobleman
but had the investigation conducted
by one of his personal friends at that
time in Rome.

WHEN TO WRITE A SHORT LET
TER, AND WHEN TO WRITE
A LONG ONE.

1t Is a curious thing to notice how
many correspondents fall into the
habit of writing letters all Of about
the same length. Some appear to like
letter of only few lines, and will
seldom exceed page double-spaced;
others will almost habitually write let
tiers exceeding page single-spaced on
the typewriter.
The first step toward system in cor
respondence is to learn to write diff
ferent letter to different people on
different occasions-a long letter when
a long letter is required to do the
business, short letter when only a
short letter will be read.
Write Long Letter to
A farmer.
A woman.
A customer who has asked you a
question.
A customer who is angry and needs
quieting down.
A man who is interested, but must
be convinced by complete argument
Write Short Letter to
A busy business man, who won't
read a long one.
An Indifferent man, on whom you
want to make sharp impression
A man who wants only bit of in
formation for reference
A person who needs only q slight
reminder of something he has for
gotten.
1t is useless to write long letter
unless you know it will be read. Brew
ity is the watchword of the business
world. Every letter should be brief
unless there is good reason fox max
ing it long.
But it is better not to write let
ter at all unless you are going to make
it do its work. If man wants long
and full explanation it is only business
courtesy and good policy to give it to
him. The man who is in doubt must
be convinced. The man who is angry
must be soothed The man who is
asking for information must be salts
fed.

A pardon in Brittany begins with
vespers on the evening before the
feast. Pilgrims arrive for that and
sleep in the church, the chapel and
unde: the hedges. They chat hymns
till they sing themselves to sleep. The
first mass is said at a. M, and when
all the pilgrims have received holy
communion they depart.
An ordinary visitor arriving say at
10 a. m. will hardly see a single pill
grim in the church. They attend mass,
says the Rosary Magazine, take part
in the afternoon procession and buy
memorials and pictures at the stalls.
One of the most largely attended
pardons, and a very representative at
fair in its character, is that Of Array,
which is situated in Morbihan on the
southern coast of Brittany.

Some business men are so afraid of
writing a long letter that they chop
out every word or phrase that can
possibly be spared without completely
spelling the meaning, very much as
they would do If writing a telegram.

have to say are not made clear. If a

BEGIN YOUR LETTERS IN A MA
TURAL AND EASY WAY.

Many people think a letter isn't
letter unless it is begun in the stereo-
typed style that has been in use for a
hundred years, such as:

at hand. In reply we beg to say
You wouldn't talk like that. Don't
write like that.
Plunge at once into what you have
to say. Acknowledging the date of
the letter to be answered is only an
incidental matter, and you should do it
incidentally, by some phrase subordin-
ate to the sentence in which you say
the important thing your letter is writ
ten for.
For. example, acknowledge an order
in this way:
1--WE thaDk you sincerely for your
order of thu 18th inst. for two barrels
of lime, which we will deliver the first
thing tomorrow morning." or
out Of lime and so cannot deliver with
our usual promptness the two bar
rels you order In your favor of the
18th inst"
If favor is asked which must be
refused, begin as follows:
I'VE fully appreciate all you say in
your letter Of the 18th, butt"
1T would give me unusual pleasure
to grant your request of the 18th if it
were In my power to do so, but unfor-
tunat9ly."
If sSformation is asked, begin at
once 70 give the information:

The Right Way to Write Letters
Rx, C0dx
] By SherWin Cody


Such is the argument used by the
business men whose letters are often
carelessly written and awkwardly
worded.
Nothing is so injurious to good let
ter writing as the sense of hurry; but
the secret of success in getting out a
hundred good letters a day lies in
taking time to write one letter well.
If you will devote an hour or two
hours to making one letter as strong,
graceful, clear, and convincing as you
general sense of how best to construct
your letters when you are debating
rapidly. Too many business men never
take time even to write one really
good letter, so they never know what
a good letter in their business would
be.
But there is regular system by
which even hundred letters can be
dictated in day and nearly every
one Of them can be made a master
piece.
Nearly all correspondence falls ma
III oily ihlo q NSly lS" SAoSoSS' Ooo-
toners ask the same questions about
a given article over and over, the same
arguments influence them, and sub
stantially the same things have to be
said again and again. Sometimes the
dictator states those things well, and
again he is very awkward in his state
ment This is true even of the great
est experts.
But when Demosthenes had found
the best possible way of saying thing
(as we see from his collection of per-
orations and form paragraphs, which
we find introduced into many differ
ent speeches), he wrote that best way
down in his book and used the same
language over and over.
This method is peculiarly useful in
handling business correspondence.
Have book of form paragraphs COW
ering every important subject that is
referred to many times, and when you
have found two or three bent ways of
saying a thing use one Of those ways
out of the book instead of debating Off
hand whatever comes into the mind.
By this method it Is possible to die
tate a hundred good letters in a day
and make every one of them a master
piece.
