THE MAGAZINE TRUST"

Federal court in New York has dismissed the
Sherman law prosecution of the Periodical Clearing
House. The suit started under the Taft Admin
istrauon, and was generally considered to have been
inspired by hostility incident to the magazines Xpo-
sure of the progressive collapse of that Admins
tration The organization had been practically
defunct for long time before the prosecution was
begun, and actually had to be brought back 20 life
in order that it might defend the prosecution
This case illustrated the possibility of using the
antitrust act interfere with Common-sense bust
ness methods. The periodical publishers found
themselves in need of some instumentality enforce
certain sound business rules in handling their Sub
scpiptons, through subscription agencies and dstrib
uting their publications, The Clearing House was
formed for that purpose without thought thai II
Cou'd be successfully attacked under the law. The
failure of the suit makes plan that i'll one case at
least business is not to be unduly ntcrfered with
in order that the technicalites of the law may be
vilCcated.

MORE SAFETY IN AIR.

A British army officer is credited with producing
an improved biplane that has the birds capacity 10

tons and to right itself when it is tilted by reason
of running into Cross-currents and pockets IN the
air Taken up in gusty wind that otheN machlnes
would not have attempted, it is said to have given
truly wonderful performance.
Whether the gyroscopic principle is developed in
this new model is not announced; no; unlikely

great problem of flying Motor trouble is not half
so serious for plane can coast down to the ground

~ NE Of the simplest occupations.
requiring little early mental
~ training, is that Of manicuring
and hair dressing. II is
business that is easily learned
and generally pretty well paid in pro-
portion to the effort expended With
the growing demand of the present day
for this kind of work. IL Is advisable
for many a young woman who il to en-
ter the business world to think seri-
ously OF such a trade.
The requisites for the work are few.
Neatness and personal cleanliness. tact,
patience, a soft touch and great care in
ones work are practically the qualifcs-
tons necessary. In hairdressing an ar
tjstic taste and a sense Of what Is be-
coming are OF great value and make
for success.
There are schools where manicuring
and hairdressing are taught. Or q girl
can enter a beauty parIor where for a
moderate sum she will be taught all the
practical points OF this work. The aver
age course takes six months, and the
usual charge is from s25 to s75- II IL Is

work, a special course costing from $50

There IS often no specified pay IN this
occupation. The young women in beauty
parlors generally work on small sal
airy and for what they can make IN
tips. These sometimes amount to a
good deal, aggregating to more than
the weekly pay. The quick, painstaking.
agreeable young woman will be able TO
do we'll and can in time work up pri-
vate trade of her own. in which she will
have to treat her customers in their
homes With proper management TINS

Any girl who contemplates taking up
this work as her profession should ask
herself these questions:
Am I neat and careful? Can oe

patient and do I have a soft touch?
II she can answer in the affirmative
she need not fear to take Up the WoEk

BRIGANDAGE IN MEXICO.

At all times il should be kept in mind, by people
who wonder about conditions in Mexico, that at the
bottom of the present chaos is strictly economic

holders has made poems of the people who ought to
be decent sefrespectng, working citizens The land
situation in Mexico is by far than it in
Ireland; and in Ireland it bad that it drove
half the splendid, intelligent law-abiding population

people, whom the veneer of civilization, at best,

country where superior that is, more powerful

itself on the original social structure taking posses

process making the masses of people mere append
ages to the land which they must live. The

and feeling under that same obligation to keep on
living that is an attribute of all life, goes out and

He was returning home, he said, a
few nights before. and passed ST. Paul's
Cathedral just before midnight AS he
did so there was a drunken man trying
to see the time. Just then the clock
began TO strike the hour and slowly

BALDWIN COUNTY MAN SAYS CO.
MER is AS GOOD AS ELECTED
AND HE BELIEVES HossoN
WILL DEFEAT UNDERWOOD.

r. J. Holman of Baldwin county
was in Pensacola yesterday and called
on The Journal to take advantage of
the offer to secure the paper for the
coming year at the old price by paying
for the year in advance. Mr. Holman,
who gets his mail at Muscogee, is one
Of The Journals Oldest and most loyal
friends, having taken the paper regu-
larIy since the first issue was publish
ed. He says he not only likes The
Journal but he thinks the Monday
morning edition which The Journal In
augurated more than year ago is the
best. paper of the week.
Mr. Holman talked interestingly of
Alabama politics. He said Conner was
as good as elected governor now and
that he believed Hobson would defeat
Underwood for the senate. The rural
districts he said were almost solid for
Hobson.
Mr.. Holman himself is talked of as
candidate for the legislature from
Baldwin county and he may decide to
make the race He has served as
county commissioner and in addition
to being one of the most substantial
farmers of that county he is deserved
~ popular.
