STOPPING THE LEAKS

~ EVERAL years ago a Harrisburg
man failed in business. His plant
~ was sold by the sheriff. 1t fell
into the hands of former en-
ploye, young man of exceptional in
dustry and thrift. He knew how to
save-not only how to save the profits,
but how to save within his plant. He
knew how to prevent waste. To-day
that business is paying handsome
profits, although the volume of work
done is little greater than when it
could not pay its debts.
One of our most successful mer-
chants says that unless a man is in
stinctively saving he will find himself
at sad disadvantage as a storekeeper
or plant manager.
Stopping the little leaks of waste is
one of the most essential elements in
facturer. Only a little margin of
waste in the handling of goods is
necessary in order completely to dissi-
pate the small margin of profit, .leav-
ing the mercha with only his labor
for his pains.
1t is impossible to point to a single
successful merchant or manufacturer
who has not a proper regard for the
value of money and the importance of
thrift in all business relations.
Any beginner in business who does
not have this thrift instinct, or who
does not acquire the habit, will be
handicapped just to that extent in
striving toward the goal of CONNER
cial success.
These are principles that an ambi-
tious employe should take to heart,
because financing yourself success
fully is a presumptive evidence of
your fitness to handle the financial
interests of others and to assume
greater responsibilities. savings
bank account is an Al recommenda-
ton, because it indicates so much as
to the character, ability and depend
ability Of its possessor.
Then as you help your employers S
business to succeed you help your
own chances. AS one large employer
put it:
Every dollar saved in any depart
ment means that we can sell more
service for the same price. It makes
our service better, bigger thing, and
it makes somebody a better, bigger
job"
The young man who made over
the ruined plant did SO simply by stop
ping the leaks-which, by the way, is
better than trying to cut down neces-
sary expenses, either in private or
business affairs.

CITY PLANNING

"HE South Bethlehem Globe i:
urging the appointment of g
4 city planning commission for
that town. The Globe calls at
tention to the haphazard manner OF
building that has resulted in narrow
streets in the business section of that
city and begs council to hasten the
selection OF commissioners under the
law of 1918, whose duty 1t shall be
to see to it that the errors of the past
along this line be not repeated.
South Bethlehem's problem is al
most identical with that of Harris
burg in this respect. Says the Globe:
Something was wrong with the
this city, and that error, unnotice-
able then, is prominently plain now.
The state OF affairs calls to mind
committee that the errors of half
century ago be not repeated in the
extensions that this city is bound
to make. The need for such body
sire of moneymaking of each and
every individual as to land sale and
in this respect the exploiter of
building-site operations Is no ex-
are giving way TO industrial enter
prise or town-site locations, and in
these latter a little land is apt to be
made to go a great way in the
matter of streets. That these thor
oughfares should conform to the
measure of future demand, in the
fullest sense. is argued by the fail
ure of Third street to provide
ample means for traffic. The nee
essity for other things. efficient
drainage and sewerage is another
feature that a corresponding status
in the city emphasizes. The rapid
growth of South Bethlehem, the an
neXations that are bound TO result
are demands that the subject OF
city planning is one that would be
very unwise to postpone any longer.
The same may be said of Harris
burg, and 1t is gratifying to note that
Commissioner Taylor is now giving
the selection of city planning commits
sioners his attention and expects to
announce his appointments within a
very few weeks.

M that President Yuan is showing
a Willingness to fight, if neces-

seizing outer and inner Mongolia.
For the moment he seems to have
been successful, but it becomes more
and more evident that time will see
CHINA and Russia at swords points

come will be depends much on China's
preparedness under the new republi-

were disguised under religions
cloak, but were in no way successful.
They were continued at intervals up
TO modern times, resulting in the St,
Petersburg treaty of 1881 between
Russia and China. In view of the
present controversy. it is interesting to
remember that Russia deliberately set
about violating this treaty when she
disguised her sinister purposes in 1912
under the thin veil of direct political
convention for a commercial treaty
with the ruling Mongol potentate.
This agreement feigned to acknowl-
edge the authority of the Mongolian
government-which had absolutely no
existence-excluded the Chinese adj
ministration from any share in ruling
the province and refused colonization
on Mongolian lands to the Chinese.
while sidetracking the question of
Chinese suzerainty
China Immediately protested: and
Yuan, despite the hard conditions un-
der which he was carrying along the
government, dispatched a strong force
to Mongolia to back UP his protest.
Russia intrigued, encouraged Mon
golian banditry and sidestenped in the
approved Muravieff manner until the
Mongolian dukes became restive and
manifested their disinclination to any
longer pull the chestnuts out OF the
fire for the Cars ministers.
So. on November 5, in Peking, an
agreement was signed whereby Rus
sia recognized that Outer Mongolia
formed part of China's territory, but

WILSON SHOULD WAKE UP
York Dispatch !

OI ]
1t Is hard for Americans to believe
that President Wilson Is actually in
competent to direct the foreign affairs
of the country. The mess in which,
our foreign relations have been fioun-
dering is attributed to the demands
upon the Presidents time by the do
mestic legislation he has been pushing
through.
There is time to retrieve matters
from their disgraceful state If Wilson
will realize that the condition is re-
garded as serious by the people. Bryan,
of course, has no aptitude for such
concerns and evidently no interest in
the duties of his office; so Wilson will
have to be his own secretary of state.

4 o r ON THE RIVER
by (. f., AUSTIN.

A storm on the river is beautiful,
From an araSt's point OF view
But in the stern reality
IL loses its roseate hue.
The skies are gray and threat ming.
The thunder grumbles loud,
The moon and all the shining stars
.Ap hidden behind the cloud.
The rain comes dashing and beating,
And drenching our cosy tent.
The wind roars loud in the forest
Until its fury is spent.
The river is rising swiftly,
The waves are white with foam.
IL gets from bad To worse,
Makes You wish YOU had stayed Al
home.
When the storm at last is over,
All the trees look fresh and green.
And the river lies calm in the sunshine
Like a lake of silver sheen.
But You gather up your belongings
And start on another tramp,
For YOU can't start a fire for breakfast
Till You find a different camp.
