Don't Be Too Expert.
the New York Times


Having graduated from a business
college with honors the young man
thought himself competent to tackle any
problem in banking that could be learned
without actual experience, but the old
clerk knew better.
Can you make an erasure so neatly
that it would take an expert to tell
where II had been done?" he asked.
Yes. SIR said the young man with
conscious pride.
We'll, for heavens sake don't tell
your prospective employer so or you will
be looking for job this time next year,
the old clerk said.
Employers are afraid of too much
skill in that direction. 1t gives such
enormous opportunities for fraud that
they will fight shy of hiring you.
Il found that out in my young days.

MODERN HOUSEKEEPING.
And the Application of Bushes.
Methods.

From the Haverhill Gazette
The new domestic science which is sys-
tematizing the work of the housekeeper
and introducing scientific formulas, where
once tradition and often irritating waste
prevailed. is demonstrating the saving
power Of routine where routine can be
successfully employed. That a man works
from sun to sun, but a woman's work
is never done" Is becoming to be less
true than formerly because of this.
And the step Is natural and inevitable
one in the kind of progress which the
world is making. Some people are inclined
to stop and question whether the mad
rush. the increased completely is real
ly progress: but whether it is. it is carry
ing humanity quite irreSistibfy in its move
ment. We are learning to SYSTEMATIC be-
cause we have to. in order to keep the
pace. The activities of the modern wom
an are multiplying in such a manner that
she can no longer afford to use the tedi-
Gus methods which many of her pred
ecessors employed in The matters of do
meStic economy.
HaphaZard practices are being done
away with in offices and there is no rea-
son why they should obtain in the home.
Scientific heating and lighting and in
PRODUCTION of labor saving machinery have
done as much already In kitchens as in
factories. Says woman physician, IN
commenting upon this new psychology of
work and waste. in woman's magazine:
There is another class Of women who
are overworked. Some are everworked
because they lack system, not because OF
the great amount of work to be done
Homework can be immensely lightened II
it Is done in a systematic way. That Is
the reason that girls who have had
thorough business training make the best
housekeepers. They place the housework
on a business basis and conduct it In
systematic manner.
The aspect which many OF the reforms
are assuming suggest that the suffragette
ia not the only woman who is advanced
and progressive in her thinking and IN
her work. The modern housekeeper is
not coming to benefit in very material
way from the general pressure which ex-
acts good health, good service and sys-
tematic application as essential assets

BERLIN, June lbs the cars en-

fragile clay that the war with Japan
proved her to be a few years ago, or

countless number of soldiers, who only
need discipline and honest and skiilful
officers to make them the best warriors
in the world?
1t can be stated on reliable authority
that great things have happened in mill
tary Russia. The cars army has been
born again in the last six years. The
soldiers are in a far better condition
morally and physically and they have
full confidence in their officers.

The soldiers are taught to shoot well,
and great care is bestowed on the train
ing of artillerists. In word, the bugle
note of war sounded today would sum
mon to the field a powerful army the
like of which the Japanese never faced.
And this remarkable change has been eff
fected by the present war minister, his
predecessor, Gen. Rudiger,
and the late chief of the general staff,
Gen. Gerncross. who died three weeks
ago. The statistician who looks only at
totals, dispensing with close analysis of
details, records with relish the note

Increase Of German Army.
The serious increase in the German
army. which recently passed the reich
stag. bringing up its peace strength to
zoe, 600 in October, is causing grave disquiet
in France, which with it's stationary pop
uation, sees Germany taking advantage
of it's steady human growth to build up
an army against which France will be
powerless. For some years past il has
been the belief of the French army that
ii is capable of meeting the Germans IN
the field and defeating them. mat may
or may not be true But it is quite clear
that the new policy of increase adopted
by Germany means the end OF that
dream. 1t therefore now becomes the
policy of the military party in France
to precipitate a conflict, and this VIII
now be the aim of the French military
party Happily, the French officers are
not all powerful in France, and there
is a strong civilian feeling in favor of
peace.
The real danger is now, as 1t always
has been. that the general European
strain may become intolerable. France
and Germany are little nearer together
now than they were at the END OF the
Franco-German war, and the recent IN
discretion of the German emperor over
Alsace-Lorraine must have revived the
bitterest memories. and perhaps Torment
ed the most dangerous hopes in the
minds of the French. As long as the
question of the annexed provinces re-
mains in any way open that bitterness
will continue a peril to mankind.

In spite of it's external troubles, the

Italian Turkish War Spreading.

But there are aspects in this years
panic which are serious The most
threatening fact of all is that the war
between Turkey and Italy, instead of
coming to an early close. Is gradually
spreading throughout eastern Europe
Every day brings news of the capture of
a new Turkish island in the AEGEAN sea-
The whole Of Europe knows that these
islands, once captured, are not likely to
return To their original owners.
The danger of the situation is shown
by the statement of the "eclair that
Italy and Russia in combination are
asking for another European conference.
For that is another fact of grave i'm
port. Russia has been fishing in trou-
bled waters. The greatest European
grievance Of the Russian government is
the fact that although the confinement
of her merchant shipping TO the Black
sea by the treaty of Paris 0A56l. was
removed in 1870. yet the Turkish govern
ment can still forbid the movement OF
her warships through the Dardanellas.
