his position in the batter's box and the

The evening world., 1911-11-13

"IFTY years ago, New York's
street stores were occupied
by merchant tailors, who
were really merchants, but
no better tailors than Broadway
boasts of to-day. IT.
Unfortunately for you, MI.
Tailor, you didn't grow up with
the difference in times and diff
ference in competition.
Where it was possible years ago
to hire a store, move your goods in,
and sit down and wait for trade,
to-day you must do something thas
denotes personality. If you stop
to realize, the wholesale ready
made clothier is nothing nor or
less than a "growed up tailor who
is adapting common sense and con-
c~entration to the making of mems
clothes. This is the condition that
you, Nh. Tailor, have to meet.
The first Wholesale clothier was a
tailor who applied scientific thought to
his business. He reasoned that there
were too many profits between the mill
which made the cloth and his cutting
shears. Then he started in to eliminate
those profits and he cut out the COM
mission men and wholesale wooden
house and bought direct from the mill.
Further thought showed him concentra-
ton in business. This led him to gather
together half a dozen other tailors in
one store, so as to do away with the cost
of cutting, rents, etc., in the different
stores, and SO on to his final evolution.
Then he thought out advertising, and
from that period until to-day all thinking
clothiers arc advertising clothiers. and
that is what the custom tailor to-day
has not learned.
Now, as to myself, l belong in the
Wholesale clothing business, and as a
matter of fact l am a wholesale tailor,
saving the profits that the average
tailor loses between the mill and his
shears; concentrating the efforts of Is
stores SO that enc cutter can do the work
of five in the ordinary tailor shops; n
buyer can do the buying for 10 stores.
Having the managers of l8 stores to
direct my efforts, ! feel in a position to
talk to ~tailors.
Now, my remedy is this: Get together
four or five of your fellow ~tailors; instead
of having a thousand tailor shops in
New York City, let us decrease the num-
Der of shops and increase the number
OF business ~tailors. Let US sell direct
to the customer. Start advertising and
explain to the people in general the inn
possibility of one pattern fitting a dozen
men. Explain the difference in shapes.
Educate the people to the difference in
woolens. Leave out all knocks, and
boost for ~tailors.
AS space in this paper is quite ex-
pensive, ! will continue this story to the
tailors Friday.

Slavery in Old Greece.

The Greeks were slave owners with
a vengeance. All manual work was
done by "barbarians" as the Greeks
called those who had been captured in
war. The greatest of the Greeks saw
no evil in the institution. Aristotle is
quite outspoken in his justification of
slavery. A certain amount of mean
work had to be done, he claimed. and
mean natured men" were intended to
do it. The slaves in some of the Greek
states outnumbered the freemen four
'or five to one. Manual labor came in
Greece to be thought degradation.
suited only for beings who could not
do the higher work. Even freemen
who worked for wages were by Arts
totle placed outside the constitution.
And what was true of the Greeks was
equally true of most of the other an

Ientrance and two or three blocks out
of his way.
II On the Clinton street side, little
north of the main entrance, is a priv
ate carriage way and elevator en-
trance which gives seclusion for fun
eral parties.
A feature of the new station is the
complete postofice suburban U they
call it-where there is regular post
Office delivery and facilities for street
railway postoffice service. In the
trainshed are mail conveyors which
carry the mail to the postoftice below.
| Apart from the main building, at the
end of the trainshed, the power house
stands alone, tall and stately, controll-
ing with it's wonderful mechanical
equipment the lighting and machinery
of the terminal.
Even the trainshed has charm of
it's own and is not the dark, dismal af-
fair familiar to most travellers, brigh-
tened only by the expectation OF
friends from the incoming train. 1t Is
specially constructed from new de-
sign and is the only one of it's kind
in the west. Both shed and concourse
are equipped with the latest methods
of ventilation and light. Even the
most careless and unwary passengers
can scarcely fail TO see the automatic
train indicators in the conc0urse. 1t
| is made difficult matter to miss the
train you want.
1t is almost world in itself, this
temporary home of millions, the stop
ping place for few moments or few
hours at best, where one may pause
for little while and break journey
that may be of short duration or en-
body trip around the world.
The grey granite exterior walls of
the building merge into the notified
grey brick of the enclosing walls of
the trainshed, giving the impression to
the passerby of one great continuous
building, noble, solid and enduring in
it's architecture, practical realiza-
ton for three classic blocks of the
promised Chicago Beautiful.

Bird Has Become Real Pet.

Some persons hold that bird can.
not be domesticated like a toy dog,
but know Washington woman who
has one that seems almost human in
its intelligence" said visitor from
the capital. "The bird is a little green
and yellow canary and was purchased
for small sum at an ordinary bird
store. But it has become extraordin-
arily attached to it's owner.
AT night the bird sleeps in little
nest in it's owners pillow and wakens
her in the morning by kissing her on
the -4ps. Then during the day it will
perch on her shoulders and take maps
there, often kissing her. 1t will fol.
low her about like dog. The canary
is never put in cage except when
us owner is leaving the house, and on
one occasion I know OF from observa-
ton the woman was going out, but
the bird when put in it's cage actual
ly moaned piteously and it's owner re-
fused to leave it. The woman, by the
way, has great fondness for dumb
creatures, and the bird seems to rec.
Ognize and return that feeling"

Testing An Egg.

1t does not require very discrim-
mating palate to detect an old egg
from a new one, says correspondent
of the New York Sun. The former
has a musty flavor that the latter
never has, and the mustiness may
range from slight faint to a very
pronounced one. 1t is always notice
able in storage eggs.
If anyone wishes to verify the judg-
ment of his palate, the following tests
may be used:
1t is almost impossible to peel
the shell from a fresh hard boiled
egg without having some of the white
come away with it.
"A stale egg cannot be beaten to
la froth.
3-When fresh egg is broken into
a dish the yolk stands up and the
white does not spread, whereas in a
stale egg the yolk lies fiat and the
white seems watery.
1.-The smell of an egg after GER
tain length of time loses it's chalky
appearance and becomes shiny.
5--The air space in the large end
of newly laid egg is about half an
inch in diameter. and as the egg ages
this space grows larger. In storage
eggs it sometimes extends to one
fourth the length. An expert can very
closely approximate the age of an egg
by examining this space. This is
known as Gambling and is done by
holding the egg in a beam of light.
A simpler test is to hard boil the egg
and notice the relative size of the
space.

Whistler the FIGHTER.

In whistler As | Knew Him" Nor
timer Menpes, the author, has good
deal to say about Whistler the fight
er and his quickness in resenting an
ahront. He is careful to add that
Whistler was always refined in his
methods.
While he was severe he was not ac-
tually brutal. He never treated his
enemies in coarse way. Any man
who had offended him Whistler would
rap sharply over the shoulders with
his cane, and then by the time the
sufferer had recovered the master
would be in the next room explaining
to every one how he had just felled
his enemy.
Once he caught man with whom
he was for the moment enraged wash
ing his face. Without a moments
hesitation Whistler dashed the unfor-
tunate head straight into the basin of
water, and while the woe was endeav.
oring to clear the soap from his eyes
to see the cause of this sudden INNER
sion Whistler was in the smoking
room setting the men there in roar
with the account of his adventures.
When first met Whistler he was in
the act of searching for a man who
had dared to criticize his Venetian
|etchings. IF you want to see some
fun, Menpes," he said, "come with
me-" Fortunately the man had been
warned and was nowhere to be found.

At the evening session something
new in Chautauqua lines will be pre-.
sented. A company of Grand Opera
Singers, including Max Bing, the cele,
bratei baritone, will render scenes
from Faust, II Trovatore and other
standard operas.
The singers will appear in special
costumes and the several parts will
be acted just as may be seen at a
metropolitan Grand Opera House.
There will be special properties and
settings and in the artificial lights Of
the evening session, it will not only
afford first grade musical treat but
4 gorgeous spectacle as we'll.
The singing will be accompanied by
the Orchestral Band under Thaviu's
direction.
This is a wonderful combination
and will, no doubt, prove very attrac-
tive to the people. 1t is a big city
attraction brought to their very doors.
