GENERALIZATION.

For many years it has been the fore
cast of our social philosophers that the
greatest danger menacing our country
Is Capitalization. We have been warn
ed, time and again, about allowing the
power Of the nation to become too
much centralized in Washington.
Be that political danger what it
may, there is a greater danger of CEN
tralization menacing our business life.
Money Is being centralized in great
cities. That is why we find it so diff
cult to secure money for the develop
ment of western enterprises. There
are whole mountains of iron ore in the
Pacific states that cannot be developed,
because eastern financiers will not
lend money for such a purpose. They
do not care to encourage a develop
ment that might make a rival for the
steel trust. Gradually the financiers
of the country are drawing the visible
supply of money to their eastern
banks. Gradually the great cities are
trying to secure all the country's bus
mess for themselves. That is why you
hear the cry, Down with the middle
man." That means down the country
merchant by trading with the city
merchant who is just as great a mid
dleman as is your home dealer.
Do not be fooled by it. They are
trying to centralize business, to ruin
the small merchant and to depopulate
your town. 1t wants, not only your
money and your resources, but it de-
mands your youth. Daily, boys and
girls from all quarters of the land are
drawn to the great cities, there to wear
out a miserable underpaid existence in
department store or factory. 1t draws
them by its offered pleasures, its pro,
misses of success. 1t says see in me
the central point of all attainment.
Beware of this Capitalization which |
means ruin. Keep your money at
home Fight for the maintenance of
your community, of your home town.
Such Is our greatest weapon against
the evils of business Capitalization.
Burn your mail order catalogue.
Buy at home.

Ballet CIaSSique Proves One Of
Best Acts Of the
Year

Ths Garrick Theatre bill for this
week. which opensd yesterday after
noon md last night, is full Of life.
and it made big hit at the opening
performance. It includes a number
of real big headliners. all of which
appeared to strike the popular fancy.
One of the most striking was the
Ballet Classique. in which twelve
French maidens, who have learned
everything about he refined French
ballet, went through a most interest
ing performance, comprising dances
and drills, some OF which are en-
tirely new. The piece is elaborately
staged and the girls are .nagnificently
costumed Another big act was the
comedy playlet, entitled "Dr. Billy
JOY" in which Miss Beatrice More
land, one of the most talented
condolences in the varieties, as
sisted by capable company, showed
how to drive away the blues. Among
those in the company is Stanley JOS

stage, where he is recognized as one
f its best exponents. The Nagaysys
performed all sorts of queer and mys-
terious tricks. which they learned in
India, their native country.
A decidedly clever singing and
dancing act was given by Guy Samp-
sell and Edith Refill. known as "the
fashion plates" who emerged tri-
umphantly from heir narrowing at
Dayton, O.. in which they we're flood
victims, to the extent of losing all
their stage property. They have a

better than the one they lost. A

CATCH BIG SWINDLER.
Sheriff Kienc Believes He Has Man
Who Has Worked in Kansas.

A man whom the officers believe has
been one of the worst bank swindlers to
be apprehended in some time was brought
to Topeka early this morning by Sheriff
l.. L. Kiene and is awaiting hearing in
the county Jail. The man is A. H. Shaffer
of Kansas City, Mo, who is said to have
a long list of aliases he uses in his work.
Shaffer was apprehended at Chapman,
Kan, yesterday afternoon, after having
attempted to cash a draft on the ohio
Oil company, a concern which the Of
ficers say does not exist except in the
imagination of Shaffer. He did not sue
coed in cashing the draft, but is being
held for passing such draft for 1913 on J..
n. Brown at Rossville, Kan, May g..
At Rossville the alleged swindler signed
his name "A. H. Good
Shaffer is accused also of passing bogus
drafts at Bucklin, Mo-, and at Pomona,
Edna and Arcadia, Kan. Secretary w. w.
Bowman of the Kansas Bankers associa-
ton has been following him and sent out
a, general warning to bankers to be on
the lookout for him.
Yesterday Shaffer is said to have hired
a iveryman in Chapman by the name OF
Odle to take him to Enterprise in an auto.
He told the liveryman, however, that he
wanted to stop at the bank and cash a
draft for expense money. He represented
himself to be A. H. Baker to the cashier
of the Chapman State bank. and pre-
sented his draft. The banker was sus-
picious and refused to cash it, but per-
mitted the swindler to go. Later he called
up farmer living some distance from
Chapman and told him to send the livery
man and his passenger back. Shaffer then
was arrested and was held for Sheriff
k1ene who held a warrant for his arrest

SCIENCE AIDS INDUSTRY
The Benefits of Psychology as Applied
to Our Business Affairs

Are you looking for a job as mo-
torman? Prove your ability by psy-
chology. Will you make a good chauf-
feur? Submit to mental test and
find out. Would you be a successful
telephone operator? You will save the
company's time and your own by I'M
dergoing psychological examina ton
to determine your fitness for the posi-
ton.
Psychology, according to the latest
bulletin of the United States bureau
of education, now plans a prominent
part in the various plans for vocation
al guidance. 1t is announced that
scientists, by means of PSYCHOLOGICAL
tests, hope to devise ways of measur-
ing people with regard to their quail
fcations for certain kinds of work. The
statement from the government bu-
reau says:
DIR Leonard P. Ayres of the Sage
Foundation has just summed up a
number of psychological tests for po-
sitions actually, put into practice in
modern industry Thus the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany engaged Professor Muensterberg
to introduce a test for determining
which applicants were likely to prove
good telephone operators. The girls
were examined with reference to
memory, attention, general intelli-
gence, space perception, rapidity of
association"
1.-The results showed that the girls
who qualified in the tests were the
most efficient in practical service,
while those who stood at the foot of
the list failed later and left the COM
panys service.
professor Muensterberg has also
tested street car motOrmen with elab-
crate apparatus with a view to select
ing those least likely to be responsible
f0v- Ac Nr 1T
periments he came to the significant
conclusion that the application of
such test on motormen would result
in the rejection of about 25 per cent.
of those now employed.
IS. e. Thompson used reaction
time tests in selecting girls for the
work of inspecting for flaws in the
steel balls used in ball bearings. The
final outcome was that 35 girls did
the work formerly done by 100; the
accuracy of the work was increased
by sc per cent; the girls wages were
doubled, the working day decreased
from ten and one-half hours to eight
and one-half hours and the profits of
the factory increased.
Another set of psychological tests
aims to select positions for persons
rather than persons for positions, but
not much has been really done in this
field The difficulties in the way of
both kinds of tests may be inferred
like 10000 separate kinds of gainful
occupations in the United States
DR.. Ayres sees great possibilities in
psychological tests for choosing the
right persons for jobs. He says:
when the best possible adjustment
shall have been attained between work
'and workman each one will have his
full opportunity to achieve at least
something for commonwealth and
common veal. The tasks of the world
will he ha x1rnr org
will receive greater rewards, deeper
JOY and fuller SatiSfac tion in their
doing. "-Washington correspondent in
New York Sun.
