HAVE SYSTEM IN BUSINESS
One of the Best Ideas is to Maintain
Filing Cabinet, Says an East

Talking with a business woman the
other day on various items that go to
help make work more effective, ! was
surprised to have her ask me If | kept
a file Of all those subjects bearing on
my special job,
"a simple filing cabinet is one of the
best investments a business woman
can make" she said. There is not
one of us who is not constantly run
ming across little items that hold a
the future. There are letters that have
something in them worth turning to,
newspaper slips, articles in bust
ness magazines and other publ
cations, thousands of helpful scraps
which are entirely lost to you If you
have no effective filing system. 1t Is
impossible to remember such items
and if you keep them in scrapbooks
and such places, you are very likely tc
forget their existence even If you
lay hand on them when needed. But
a concise filing system puts every
thing right under your hand, to be
reached the second you want it. just
try It, and you'll bless me for putting
you wise.

cidedly worthy members of society.

at Yale, went later to Harvard Law
school and returned to Washington

Helen Taft High in Scholarship.
Miss Helen attended Bryn Mawr,
where she was awarded high honors
in scholarship, and then went to the
capital to enter society and take up
social service work. Her chief fads
are riding and amateur theatrieals.
While her father was president, she
conducted several Investigations into
sweatshop conditions.

UPPER EAST TENNESSEE

Bristol, July with Sullivan,
Carter and Hawkins counties all TAX
ing action this week toward building
roads, it is expected that there will
soon be a revival of road building in
upper East Tennessee. Sullivan coun-
ty has already expended 100000 in
roads, while Carter county has prac-
tically completed its section of the
Bristol-toMemphis highway and has
built between Elizabethton and John
son City what is considered one of
the best roads in this section of the
state.
Hawkins county has graded the
old Bristol-to-Knoxville road the en-
tire distance from Church Hill to Red
Bridge ferry, by way of Rogersville.
The county has joined with Sullivan
county in building bridge across
the Holston river at the line between
the two counties at Rotherwood to
Church Hill and macadamize the
road the entire distance from Roth
erwood to Red Bridge ferry. where
the Hawkins county system of roads
will connect with Hamblen.
When Hawkins county builds its
section of the road. there will be a
practically new rock pike road the
entire distance between Bristol and
Knoxville. by way of Blountyille,
