MAKING USE OF a GOOD EYE"
Ankle inspectors have been suggested as
a means of putting a stop to the theft of
fine stockings from an eastern mill, by its
women employees. This is simply mat
ter of business and should not evoke a
STERN of protest from the local Trouble
makers society. However, on a rainy
day every town Is full of ankle inspectors

Suggests an Analogy

An editor is more apt to clip from an
other paper an article that has been re-
produced than he is TO clip an original
article, said D. B. Grace. ''The fact that
1t has been reprinted from another paper
sets the seal Of approval of another editor
upon 1t. When an editor sees the same
article in several of his exchanges he is
sure to copy it in his own paper, for he
sees that the consensus of editorial judg-
ment endorses it as having merit, and
thus it goes the rounds of the press.
This same principle holds good in
other phases of life and explains why the
widow has the advantage over the old
maid in going the rounds of the press

EATING TO MUSIC

Chewing and swallowing in public

the new art. See them set down the

bars, while the diner feverishly bites at

society circle eating soup to the titanic
chords of THE Ride of the Valkyres,"
or chewing fish to the three-four time
of the Beautiful Blue Danube"
The pale, passionless salad finds a
musical companion in the near melodies
of Debussy; and We find that the 'An-
vii Chorus" gives n fine spring TO the
jaws for the meat course.

again that people will walk all over a town
to hunt up 4 store that seems to give
unusual values. They rather enjoy poking
around out of the beaten track, led by the
fun OF bargain hunting. After they get their
purchase, they boast of it to their friends,
as a sample of their superior knowledge of
how to meet the cost of living, and better
familiarity with what is doing in town.
The essential element to complete this
connection is ADVERTISING. People will pass a
dozen non-advertiSingS stores to hunt down
the remote one that tells about the things
it is doing. Don't expect, however, that a

TOO ELABORATE A SYSTEM
Mr.. spiegelhausen's idea Of Postal
Cards, However, Worked Very
Well for a Time.

Mr.. Spiegelhausen found 1t hard to
remember at home certain things he
had thought of In business hours, and
conversely matters that occurred to
him at night would escape his mind
before he reached the Office next
morning. After trying various IN
successful methods of memory Guilt
walton, he hit on the plan Of writing
postal cards to himself and address
Ing them to the other place from
which ever he happened to be in at
the moment. Thus the last mail
would bring to the house one or more
cards with such a memo. scrawled
upon It: Remind Mrs. 8. to give
the first mail downtown would re-
mind him: See J. T. w. In re. thou
sand lot umbrella canes"
For a time this served the purpose,
but presently his precise and farsee-
Ing mind began to anticipate and
work more and more in advance, SO
that on q Monday night he would
mail a card from home saying: BE
sure to send card from ONCE tomor-
row to remind yourself of dinner en-
gagement Tuesday" Then he got to
jotting down appointments on postal
cards a whole week ahead, sending
other cards to warn himself when to
drop them in the letter box, and final
ly his harassed brain refused to work
any longer on such a strain.
One evening his wife asked him
whether he had thought to attend to
the season tickets for the opera, and
he replied with a ~sheepish attempt at
laughter: II suppose that was on the
pile Of cards on my desk this morn.
