what boats pay for tolls. this rebate TO
take the form Of Il subsidy. But this
plan Is looked upon as a subterfuge.
Rate Will Be About 81 Ton.
The rate Of duty about which the
discussion centers now is one dollar per
net registered ton. The meaning Of
this isn't obvious TO the ordinary lands
man. The net registered ton, as used
In this connection. means 100 cubic
feet OF the actual cargo capacity of a
boat. without reference 10 it's actual
load. on the average 100 cubic feet Of
cargo capacity will accommodate two
tons by weight of freight. Thus, IL IL
vessel were completely loaded. she
would pay fifty cents per ton tolls. In
practice the charge would be a little
more than that, amounting perhaps
To an average Of about three cents
per hundred pounds.
That this charge would not be seri-
ously burdensome or prevent a reduc-
tion Of freight rates is argued from the
fact that on the Tebuantepec route the
cost OF transporting freight from
ocean to ocean is about four dollars
per ton, actual weight; while the cost
OF carrying cargoes around South AM
erica is even greater.
May Reduce Rate on Bulk Freight.
The hope is that the canal may re-
duce freight rates on bulk freight from
90 to 80 per cent, between points on
the two coasts. Whether this will
actually be accomplished no person can
tell. one danger suggested TO the COM
mittee is that railroad -owned boats
may get control OF the coastwise traffic
through the canal, securing virtually a
monopoly. This would prevent the
lowering of freight rates to the extent
which might be expected under COM
petitive conditions. TO guard against
this IL is now proposed that a specific
provision be introduced barring from
the canal railroad -owned boats which
used their railroad connection TO af-
feet freight rates

A Policy That Pays.
From Business

The proprietor OF clothing house in a
growing Illinois town treats his clerks
and other employees with the sincerest
courtesy. He declares that when an en-
ployer stretches several points to show
that he appreciates the services of the
employed ii pays big dividends In better
future service from subordinates. This
dealer calls every one of Ills force Of forty
clerks by their first names when he is adj
dressing them. On arriving in the morn
ing at the store he will salute the boys
behind the counter with q Good morn
ing. william George. you're looking
well this morning" etc. and etc. These
little personal marks Of courtesy are al
ways appreciated by employees. whether
they be clerks factory hands. 1t puts
spirit of cheer into their mental atti-
tude as they begin the day, and this state
of mind has great bearing on an en-
ploye's degree OF efficiency during the
ploye. however humble be his position.
that you respect him, and take an interest
In him, has a tendency to make him feel
kindly disposed toward you and to make
your interests his interests.
The employer who walks about. wheth-
er in store or shop. with a stern. naughty
face and q BLUM manner makes q great
mistake" says this clothing dealer. Dis
courtesy to employees, whether intentional
or unintentional. always works havoc and
mitigates against the future eficiency OF
a subordinate. Courtesy is without ques-
ton one OF the powerful elements In the
psychology Of man-handling. 1t has q
dynamic influence IN drawing out the best
in men. i have had clerks who were OF
fered larger wages elsewhere. but who
have refused to leave my employ. They
had formed q personal liking-ali attach
ment-for me because OF the fact that my
treatment of them was always gentle

BERLIN. January Il, 1912.
NOUBT has been cast upon the
genuineness of the locks of Bis
marck's hair which a barber OF
the name of Ernest Roehrig is now sell
ing throughout the country. and efforts
are being made to stop the fiourishinS
business he has established.
Roehrig was the iron chanceIor's bar
Der and during the years he attended his
famous employer he was wise enough TO
collect the locks he clipped. Now he has
fashioned them into small curls. affixed
a small bronze bust Of the empire maker
and is offering them at constantly in
creasing prices to the public. AT first
the supply was limited to 100 curls, but
since the patriotic Germans have been
clamoring for the relics of his illustrious
patron, Roehrig has discovered that he
has an almost endless supply OF silver
locks. ali of which. of course. came
