TO RUN MOTORS BY GAS COKE
Fuel, According to Figures.
Ii, Only one-Third Cost
of Paraffin.

In view of the high and increasing
cost of motor spirit special interest
attaches to an experiment Of the Ma
tional Steam Car company. which has
placed upon the streets OF London a
motor omnibus adapted to use ordi
nary gas coke as fuel. instead of par
affin. says the Times of that city. The
omnibus is equipped with new form
OF multitubular boiler. and II is claimed
that the running costs OF the gas
coke are one-third the cost of paraf-
fin The vehicle carries enough coke
for a 60-mile journey and the con-
sumption per mile is four pounds of
coke and one-half gallon of water.
The roar, flame and smell which are
sometimes associated with steam mo-
tors are obviated in the coke motor.
Prolonged tests were carried out by
the chief commissioner of metropol-
itan police before the new type was
accepted for service. and since IL has
been running careful observation has
been Kept
The omnibus chassis is constructed
without chimney. but chassis with
chimney has been designed for COM
mercIal cars. which work under less
stringent conditions than those OF the
omnibus service. /.
The Dewar trophy was awarded to
the company by the Royal Automobile
club, which regarded the National
coke motor trial as the most meritori.

system by which three retail dealers
used the same delivery equipment.
This reduced the expense of delivery
about one-third and made the grocer
prosperous; before he simply had
made living. In a millinery estab-
lishment her card system brought
about reorganization Of the working
force and resulted in better work and
the stoppage OF a variety of. leaks.
Today Miss Greenlaw has her own
office and several assistants. These
assistants are trained to work along
the lines she laid down. She keeps
the books of about twenty retailers.
She is making more than twice as
much money as she received when
she was bookkeeper for the food
products company, and she has the
great satisfaction of knowing that
she is doing very good and helpful
work. She says that when you come
to think that the great volume of
business in this country is not done
by the trusts but by the small manu-
facturer and small merchant, 1t Is
surprising that they have managed to
exist in view of the lax methods that
have prevailed in regard to their
bookkeeping. Most OF them are all
wrong in the way. they figure their
finances. They estimate that they
have SO much stock at q certain
amount. They never take account Of
depreciation of stock. Of fixtures or
equipment. Economically, she says,
the small merchant is not half baked
NOT. even warmed through-an that
he never will be really good mer-
chant until he becomes a good book
keeper or conducts hts business on
good bookkeeping lines.

kind OF attention to II. II your book

4 Miss Greenlaw's Wisdom.
He asked her to suggest things for
him to do She made various recon
mendations First of all she told him
he must look upon his business as an
Institution and not as his personal
possession. Then she proposed that
he put himself on a salary and that
he should not take a penny in excess
Of that salary out of the business for
himself. Next she did some figuring
on the various branches of the busi-
ness. The jeweler did good deal
Of repair work His way Of estimat-
ing what he should charge was to
guess how much time It would take
to do the job. how much the material
used would cost and then add 100
per cent for overhead charges and
profits. She advised that card rec
ord be kept Of every repair job and
on this card should be entered the
time the workman was engaged on
the repairs and the material he used.
She advised. too, that the charge
should be based on 115 per cent in
stead OF 100 per cent as formerly.
Then she suggested that ten per cent
should be added to the price Of Ger.
tain items OF the jewelers. stock. She
considered his prices low and she ar
gued that the average person would
not haggle over the price II the goods
were right. ~
That card system worked we'll. It
had good moral effect upon the men.
They didn't dawdie or waste time.
They didn't waste material either.
This resulted in a saving, small 1t Is
true, but important nevertheless. The
jeweler became more careful. He
was more earnest and painstakfng in
everything that he did. He became
better business man. AS a result

he owed to the wholesale houses.
Today he is out of debt. free man
and a better merchant than he ever
was before.
The grocer who engaged Miss
Greenlaw had some surprising things
disclosed to him. She figured the yari-
GUS items of his business from a
strictly bookkeeping standpoint. For
example. she showed how 1t cost him
about eight cents per unit to deliver
his goods. Where the delivery
amounted to SO cents gross for the
goods. there was no profit to the gro
Ger. The cost Of delivery wiped out
what he thought was profit. She or.

tail the best methods of culttvatins
and harvesting the crop. The great
trouble, 1t is said. is the difficulty OF
obtaining the necessary labor for
peeling. At times It is almost impos-
sible to secure labor at any price. al
though the actual difficulties OF peel
ing are comparatively few. The har-
vesting itself should cost approx
mately five dollars a ton. green

There are many uses for the basket

have not developed in this country as

That jeweler was a good artisan
and good salesman. He did busi-
ness Of about $4,000 a year and en-
ployed several hands. His store was
in a fairly good location, his rent not
heavy and he should have been pros
porous. but he had a hard time meet
ing his bills. He had been in the
same location nine years. He owed
$4,000 to the wholesale houses. They
pressed him continually. II they
were inclined to do 80 they could
close up his shop at any time. The
only reason they did not was because
they felt they had $4,000 invested in
his business and 1t was perfectly

their price and was not in a position
to balk or protest. He was hitched,

found, too. that he drew more out of
the business for his living expenses
than the business warranted. Despite
the fact that he owed the Wholesale
houses $4,000 he had refitted his
house and had paid $4,000 for furni-
ture. One Of his relatives had been
