ARMY REFLECTIONS.

According to the Army and Navy
Journal, the total number of appli-
cants for enlistment in the army dur
ing 1913 in the eastern. middle, south
ern and western sections of the Unit
ed States was as follows: In Chicago.
1920. with 9,342 rejections. or 1874
per cent of rejections; in New York.
1865, with 1873 rejections. a per-
centage Of 80.6; In Savannah, New
Orleans and Little Rock. 1885. with
3,011 reflections, a percentage Of 7S.1;
at San Francisco. 5,5O4, with 4.443
reflections, a percentage Of SO.7. 1t
will be seen from these figures that
the percentage of reflections was
about the same in New York and San
Francisco. and that the percentage
for the southern section Of the middle
west as represented by Chicago was
lower than either the east or the west.
with a small fraction in favor OF the
more northerly section. The better
showing Of the middle west was rath-
er to be expected. though the margin
is quite small: but the surprising
thing about all these figures is the
large percentage Of rejections in all
sections of the country. The Journal
of the American Medical Association
thinks that ii does not argue well for
the physique and the stamina Of our
young men, or perhaps may be ac-
counted for by the supposition that
the best do not offer themselves for
enlistment. In England, it is said,
the physique Of the average Tommy
Atkins is deteriorating, but in a COM
paratively new country like the
United States. the descendants of
hardy pioneer stock. reared amid
abundance and under favorable
health and climatic conditions, should
make a much better showing.

Epening Chat
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

Knowing EXaCffy What One Wants.
The shopper who knows exactly what
she wants and knows, moreover,
enough to state it accurately the first
time. must be a great joy to the clerk.
for there are soStnany women who do
not do this and they use up 30 much
Of her time and energy.
While waiting 1ur my: change at the
drapery counter tes1 other day I, wit
messed the following little scene:
Shopper: IT want some. curtain scrim
with q little yellow in it"
Clerk. pulling down one Of the big
rplls Of cloth: Something like this?''
4 shopper: S'Oh, NO. I want pure white,
not cream"
/. Clerk. after tugging down another
roll: Here is something very pretty in
white"
Shopper: 'sYes. that's pretty, but I
didn't want a yellow stripe. I wanted
a figure"
Clerk, after climbing up and reaching
far above her head and procuring. with
considerable effort another roll: How
do you like this?''
Shopper, turning up her nose: ''Oh,
those big figures are hideous. want
something In a small figure
Clerk, producing another roll: Here's
q very pretty one in q small figure
Shopper: Eyes. that isn't bad. But I
don't want rosebuds. I have one room
with roses and want something DIFF
ferent for this one. Haven't you any
thing in a small conventional design
Clerk wearily produces two more
rolls; customer examines them both
critically. then asks: What did. you
say the price was?"
The clerk hadn't said, because she
hadn't been asked. but she announced
that 1t is 50 cents.
Shopper: And haven't you anything
less than that? Us has very much that
sort Of thing for 35.''
Clerk patiently moves down to that
part Of the counter where the 35-cent
draperies are kept and. being now arm
ed with a knowledge Of exactly what
the customer wants. picks out three
rolls which answer that description.
From one Of these the customer final
ly buys.
Now, Just consider the Juggling about
OF heavy rolls OF cloth which would
have been saved to the shop girl and
the time that would have been saved
to both Of them IL the customer had
me something for about IS cents, in
pure white curtain scrim with g yellow
border, in some small conventional flg-
ure other than rosebuds?"
She knew what she wanted; she had
been looking In other shops. as her
reference to J.'S goods proved, ana
there was no reason on earth why she
couldn't have asked for what she
wanted In the nrst place. That il, no
reason except mental lozfness.
We all know that the shop girls life
is none too easy. If we have any heart
within US We sometimes pity her when
we see her looking dragged and weary
after a trying day.

sympathy into help by dncfng out just

As MAN TO MAN.

A Topeka negro walked out Of q
butcher shop today carrying q small
package wrapped in paper and tied
with a string. The newspaper man was
just behind him as he went his way up
the street. The negro held his little
package up to the light Of the heavens
for all men to see and bore witness in
words to the matters that moved him
from within. He said. speaking to no
one in particular. but in voice that
the world could hear and history re-
cord:
AN dat white man charged me 80
cents for dis ILL piece of meat. Fifty
cents! No bigger'n my thumb. Dis
cost O. ivin' bisness sure is fierce.
Why. used to get q big enough chunk
Of meat for so cents to keep nah
family for week. What good dis tar
III bein' takin OH. anyway"
No one felt called upon to answer his
question. The newspaper man kept
close behind SO as not to miss a word.
The old darky changed from monologue
to dialogue. He addressed himself to
the piece Of meat.
Mister Meat he said. you sure
ever see befoah. pay so cents for
you. and dat white man take NAH
money. You po' Ill chunk OF meat.
You can't hflp it. No tariff goiu' to
help you to grow big: You jes natchel-
ly small You BON dat way
and the one sided dialogue palled ON the
owner of the meat The newspaper
man looked interested and he was
added to the cast of the play. He was
shown the meat in order that he might
acquire local color and the story of
the smallness OF the 50 cents worth of
meat was sadly told again.
II used to be IN de butcher bixness
myself" said the old negro. II know
that white man done beat me. Amt
no man settin' money for a steer that
'ud make a man charge me 80 cents
foah dis piece O. meat. It amt a meal

The Newspaper man looked at the
meat and was forced to the conclusion
have to go hungry or eat vegetables.
The story wasn't % blamed funny,
either. come to think of 1t. The news
paper man used to buy Is cents worth
of meat for a family dinner with
plenty left over. Now he, too. pays so
cents for a little piece Of meat for
dinner and then sits sadly to listen
while his hungry fambly'' vote him q

And the nesro?-he walked ON his
rying steak cut from the left side Of
q church mouse for which he had paid
50 cents. And his voice was AGAINST
the times and his spirit chafed under
the saddle Of iniquity.
