ket problem along broad, modern
lines; the education of the house
wives of the city in protecting them
selves against fraud; the education
of dealers in the use of good scales
these are a few of the ambitions OF
Mr.. Sherman after a months occu-
pancy of his new position.
Yes, he was THE Captain Sher-
man. the man who organized Com
pany l.. Natural curiosity on this
point must be settled before pro.
ceeding with his plans for the fu-
ture. When in Central High School
it was Sherman's ambition to be a
captain.
s. Not an Easy Loser.
Sherman's scholastic record would
have qualified him TO try for major
or even the colonelcy, but he had
no wish TO be sidetracked into
either of those ranks while there
was a chance to command a COM
pany and make a eight for the red
ribbon at the annual competitive
drill.
But when the appointments were
made Sherman found himself with
out the coveted captains commits
sion. There were others in the
same boat, who made a few futile
kicks, then drifted along with the
current. But Sherman refused to
qualify as good loser while there
yet was a chance. So he set about
the task of enlisting a fourth com
pany, an unheard of achievement
at Central since the days before
Mckinley Manual Training School
was organized and removed a large
portion of CentraIs male popula-
ton. Despite the slim chance
Sherman canvassed the school
bullied. implored. pleaded, and
heckled every eligible boy until he
raised enough enlistments for a
fourth company.
That is the history of the for
nation of Company /. And despite
its late start, and handicap of
smaller size than the other COM
panies, Captain Sherman's men
put up a drill on the field in June
that placed them well up in the
running for the flag, though they
failed to win the coveted honor.
Sherman's next ambition pointed
to a railroad career.
There are only two ways to be
a successful railroad man these
days" he told his friends. EITHER
you start at the bottom and work
up, or you start at the top with
financial backing. There Is no
breaking through the middle"

They should be taught to permit
goods to be weighed only on scales
bearing the seal of our office. They
must be instructed where to look
for that seal. They also should OBJ

actly at zero. The customer loses
out if the scaleeis what we call

several ounces ahead of the zero

to be taught to count their change
''All this does not presuppose any

ignorance rather than to dishonesty
occurred when the United States
Bureau of Standards made an in

those which We're inaccurate. more

Another point in which women
need to be educated. Sherman be-
heves, Is in buying their own goods
instead of ordering by telephone
An extra tariff OF about I5 per
cent, roughly speaking. is added
because of the care demanded Of
grocers in the selection of materials
ordered by telephone" he said.
Then. you must figure in another
or s per cent for delivery.
"Of course. the mere fact that
one woman does her own buying
and carries her purchases home
will not affect the present uniform
higher prices on account OF delivery
and selection services. But If
large proportion of the women can
be encouraged to buy wisely In a
market or a grocery, then the

stance: while there may be true
economy in going to a middleman
for products which require expert
selections. such as oranges or
watermelons."
The huckster and the push-cart
vender also have their rightful
places in the food distribution OF q
great city. Sherman believes. The
