good friends. More than that, had

There is a Chinese proverb which
should be memorized and taken to
heart by every young man starting on
a business career, says II. Addington
Bruce.
1t is short and easily remembered
Here it is:
"A man without smiling face must
not open a shop"
Applied specifically to the business
of shopkeeping the little proverb may
be applied with equal force to almost
every vocation in which a man
can engage.
In one particularly interesting set
of experiments man was required to
press q spring until fatigue paralyzed
his finger. This was repeated at in
teryals in order to determine definite
1y the average number of pressures
he could make at a single sitting.
Then he was required to press the
spring while thinking of something
extremely sad. At once his average
pressure power was noticeably low
cred
Whereas when he allowed his mind
to dwell on exceptionally pleasing
thoughts he was able to press the
spring far oftener than when his mind
was occupied with nothing in par
ticular.
Other experiments have proved that
joy stimulates all the bodily func-
tions and stimulates especially the
circulation of blood In the brain, with
resultant Improvement in the ability
to think rapidly and clearly.
Accordingly JOY must be regarded
as a body builder and mind developer
of the first order. If only for this
reason the man about to engage in
business should cultivate the habit of
happiness.
But joy does more than this. II it
is tonic that helps a man to carry
on his business more efficiently, it is
also a magnet that draws to him
more business wherewith to demon
strate his efficiency.
Everybody is attracted by a smil-
ing face, and especially by the smil-
ing lace that speaks eloquently OF
inward Joy and self-confdence. Every
body is repealed by the gloomy coun-
tenance that testifies to self-distrust,
and hints at present or expected fail
ure.
In the one case people unconscious
ly say to themselves:
Here is forceful, capable, genial
fellow. 1t will be pleasurable and safe
to do business with him. He can evil
IDENTIFY make good his promises"
In the other case their unconscious
comment is:
There is something wrong with
this man. Best keep away"
Gloom, to put it tamely, is a mar.
velous business killer. Joy is an
equally marvellous business winner

YOUTH Of BASEBALL
Before Game Had Attained Its
Present Perfection.
Sport In the "Thirties" Was bv No
Means What It Is Today, Though
Doubtless It Was as Gen.
orally Enjoyed.

Back as far as the thirties of the
last century probably even further
back-certain localities called the
grand old game of today, baseball, by
the name we do now. The rules Of
the pastime have undergone MANY
changes, although some of the rules
today are the same as those in the
first set got up by the Knickerbocker
club in 1916. Fourteen rules COM
prised the first set, as compared to
the hundred or more of today, to say
nothing of the many sections of the
different rules.
The following is a description of
Massachusetts Baseball as played
on the Boston common in the early
thirties:
The number of players on a side
might vary from six to twenty, but
eight was the regulation number. The
field was an irregular polygon. There

Sir Arthur Markham, who, since the
beginning of the war, has been re.
lentless assailant and critic of Lord
Kitchener in the house of commons,
is a rich ironmaster and coal mine
owner, and as his wealth enabled him
to extort baronetcy from the cabinet
six years ago, he is very independent
of his party and of its leaders.

like a high choker collar, with a
short end hanging at the back and
one at the side. A straight neckpiece
is worn close up about the neck with
ends crossing and both hanging at
the back.
Muffs are worn in several sizes, but
fashion clings to the larger ones.
They are round or barrel-shaped and
a few fancy shapes and patterns have
been introduced.
A fine set of mink is shown in the
picture. 1t is a conservative design,
as it should be in such choice furs,
for fine furs are somewhat independ-
ent of the whims of fashion.
When furs are to be selected an
expert judge of quality will be needed,
since there are so many grades of the
same kind Their value is consider
ably influenced by fashion, but the
rarest furs-sable, mink, ermine and
rare fox-constantly grow more valu.
