You may turn a woman into a

never, no never, will make good
as a soda water clerk.
This is the assertion of Pacific
avenue man who has tried them.
He dispensed with their services
and put men soda clerks back on
the job.
Here are the reasons, says this
why women can't make
good as soda clerks:
They take too much time.
They are too careful in drawing

soda.
They are inclined to be too
fussy in making up a mixed drink.
And, lastly, they are gossips.
THE girls go at making a "Lov-
ers' Dream" sundae as though
they were making a batch of gin
gerbread," said one of the clerks
today. People who want a drink
of soda or an ice, want 1t in a
hurry. i guess that's where we
men fit in"
So this is the reason, possibly,
why a man serves you with your
favorite line of temperance food
today instead of a fair young
woman.

We wl,l venture the assertion that

the city: the Water and Light Mo-
nopoly promising nothing. Our Board
of Affairs submits to the Council in
this letter comparison of rates be-
tween the old franchise and the new,
which shows a very small difference:
look over these comparisons Mr.
Councilman and ask yourself, is that
all the advancement Charleston has
made in the last thirty years?
The Board says that the terms of
the old franchise was so oppressive.
on the consumers that even the Water
Company didn't have the conscious to
enforce them and made more reason
able rates. These kind philanthropy
lists should be given the earth with
fence around it. The facts are, they
diCn't live up to the terms of the old
franchise and the Board knows it. as
two members of this Board were on
the Board that instructed the City So
licitor to bring mandamus proceed
inSs against the Water and Light
Company for numerous violations OF
their contract
Regardless Of the legal phrases
quoted in Mr.. Thayer's letter that was
evidently wrafted by Chiffon Mac
Corkle and Chilon we are confident
that a City Council thirty years ago
had no legal right to impose on the
City contract that would perpetuate
itself Indefinitely i-l case the City
refused to pay a million and a quarter
dollars for about S2OO,O worth of
junk. Mr. Thayer winds up his sense
