REAL ABILITY
BEATS BEAUTY
Latter Only SELLING Player
in Lies Race.

Many a~uffragette stenographers
have given their testimony this week
to the eclipsing of beauty by ability.
Ability Is the NEWS choice, pick
ed to win and played against any
odds in the race of life.
Beauty runs only as a close Sec
ond according to the story which all
the pretty sten~ographers. who have
set the heads of the dictionary dis
tributers whirling by their charming
beauty, said this week.
The girls are getting the book
that will make errors in their office
work only the result of rank neglect
to profit from an ever-present help
1--WE don't want your pity-we
want work." is the slogan of the suf-
fragette stenographers, who declare
that they wish to make ability such
a necessity to employment that the
low wage and the frequent repri-
mand will soon become relics of a
forgotten past and woman" will oc-
cupy the anne position as man In
the business world.
If you believe in woman's suf-
frage, help to place her in the same
class as her male associates In bush
ness.
If you are a woman, do not de-
pend upon your beauty to protect
you from reprimand-w4n respect
and admiration by your ability.
Every workingwoman, every suf-
| fragist should secure the error elm
inator known as the NEWS Diction-
airy.
The last week has been a greater
success that was anticipated. Hum
dreds of men and IN have been
brought to realize TINT their ignor-
ance of English Is their real bar to
| success, and that the nse of the
handy helper OF the NEWS Dietiou-
fHry fE thr re@1-means to overcome
