There is M reason a woman should
not enter any business in which men
engage. A good business woman
would make all the better wife and

Many men noted for their caution
and level headedness owe their sue

sheer economic waste for a woman

II am moi speaking Of rattle Drained

Women are by nature more cautious

suspicion are prime business qualifica-

world would be more difficult than the
floating Of an enterprise by a crooked
promoter among women.
when women share the business
world with men many Of our tangles
will unravel. Their cooperation will be
infinitely helpful. They will temper

Commissioner Bell has two pans UNI

TO do with the installation of a CEN

the nearest public hack stand and
connect the patron with the stand,

The plan originated when the Al

signed by Mayor Mitchell, making 70
compulsory for every cab with a meter
affixed to be licensed at the taxicab
bureau as a public taxicab. Those
familiar with the situation realized
that the new ordinance was a blow
at private taxicab concerns which
were operating taxis from garages
and charging rates in Xce of those
stipulated by law for public hacks.
The amendment to the ordinance not

have their taxis licensed as public

they will have to charge the rates

Why, the stage, of course.

class of his opponent.
Here's the way Willard's in
come will pile up In the next two
years:
Well figure he made about
$50,000 on the fight, which Is
probably nearer the truth than
many OF the reports. Then 20
weeks of $500 vaudeville means
$195, 900. The last half, 26
weeks of $4,000 vaudeville is
100000. That disposes of the
first year.
In the second year It may be
guessed that Willard can average
$4,000 apiece for eight 10
round easy fights, with nothing
at stake 30 far as his right to be
called champion is concerned.
This adds 100000. Between
