CALL FOR LEGlBLE SIGNATURE
Business Concerns and Hotels, az We'll
al Legal Firms, Find Themselves
Compelled to Insist on That.

kindly favor us with a legible sig.
mature" is an appeal now often en-,
fcountered. It appears on the letter
heads Of many a legal firm and is
conspicuously printed on contracts
and other important documents. In
hotels this request Is sometimes used
as heading on each page Of the reg
lister or printed on a card. It hangs
i'm plain view Of the counter.
A room clerk in one OF the big
hotels declares that the task Of de-
ciphering signatures has reached q
crisis.
"It has got to the point where we
couldn't BLUM on names any longer"
he said. "In these days OF constant
telephoning and telegraphing we've
simply got to be sure that every
guests name is correctly entered on
our books or there's bound to be
trouble.
"Of course a successful hotel clerk
must have a gift for deciphering bad
signatures just as he must have q
good memory for names and faces,
but when a man we've never seen be-
fore comes In and scrawls a long
waVy line on the register without q
single letter plain enough to even
guess at, how are we going to call
him by name the next minute? He
may have important mail waiting for
him or he may be telephoned for any
minute, so our request for a legible
signature arises out Of a necessity"
A member of a law firm on whose
letterheads is printed "a leglble sig
nature is requested" says that these
few words have saved his firm much
trouble. Papers no longer have to be
returned for resigning, as was for
merly the case, because the first sig
nature could not be read. Before this
request for a legible signature was
made important legal documents often
had to be entirely rewritten because
one Of the parties refused to accept
the signature of some of the others
on account Of their illegibility.
A large employer Of labor has made
1t rule recently to have all applica-
tions for work brought to him. He
orders each letter folded SO that the
signature alone shall show. He goes
over these, picks out the signatures
that appeal to him and gives these
applicants precedence over the others.

Restaurants,

a restaurant Is place where you
pay four dollars for fifteen cents
worth Of food, accompanied by about
two dollars worth Of light labor, light
china and light music, which you have
heard before. After leaving your hat
with Wall street syndicate, you pay
all the way from ten cents to a quar-
ter for the privilege Of getting 1t back
and wearing 1t once more. The diff
ference between a man and woman
indeed today Is quite simple. A wom-
an pays fifty dollars all at once for
her hat, while a man pays five dollars
for his and fifty-five more in tip in
stallments for storage at restaurants
while he is vainly trying to obtain
enough nourishment to sustain life
between times.
The object Of all restaurants is to
furnish you with everything you want
except nourishment. This Ia carefully
extracted from all food before it
reaches you.
Every restaurant nowadays has at
tached to 1t homeless hotel and q
drugless drug store, also q newspaper
stand, where you can buy a paper for
not over twice what you can get IL
for almost any night you don't want
them at the same rates. Every res.
taurant also has a wine cellar, which
Is filed with native cobwebs, Euro
pean labels and California grape Juice.

 etter-GREGORY'S ANTISEPTIC OIL fully sustains the claims made for it. That it is held in the highest repute by the people among whom it has been longest in use, is unquestion- ed proof of merit.
 No business of it's kind ever had an humber beginning, but from the first satisfactory value was guaranteed every purchaser. GREGORY'S AN TISEPTIC OIL has made good on that basis, and is still sold that way. The offer shows that the manufactur- CTS have confidence in it, and the re- suits show that the people who use the Oil heartily agree in that belief.

 The juniors led the march into chapel this morning, walking over the senior banner, and took their places on the front seats. They were evil dently in coalition with the pianist, for immediately upon closing the march she struck an entirely new strain and the juniors sang their song. The seniors were quietly gath ering at the back of the hall and the last lines of the juniors song were drowned by the lusty cheers of the seniors. After chapel exercises q scramble for the possession of the seniors banner took place, and at the ringing of the bell for classes hands were counted and the juniors were found to have the greater number of hands on the banner. So, the colors went to the junior class.
