BETTY'S SUCCESS.
By LOUISE OLIVER. .

Betty looked up from her news
paper and frowned out of the win
dow. The jerking of the car was bad
enough without the distracting con-
versation of two men in the seat
ahead.
Her frown deepened as she heard
one say:
I'm tired of the whole business
No more female stenographers in my
office! Not that they are not COM
petent-the last one was a dandy
but they demoralize the whole office
force because they are attractive. The
say as pretty as picture or she
looks like an actress. There will be
a new symbol of beauty. 1t will be-"
disgustedly. ".she is as beautiful as
stenographer.'
His companion laughed. Your fair
employees certainly have not demoral
ized you. you flint-hearted old bach
elor, What's the matter with the
bookkeeper taking Mabel out to lunch
or the chief clerk exhibiting two pink
tickets for the show when he passes
her desk"
THE lunches you speak of take
nearer two hours than one and the
pink theater tickets and a supper after
mean a half hour late the next morn
ing. If I could land an ugly one II
would be different, but they don't
grow. I'm blessed If I ever saw a
stenographer who didn't look like a
frontispiece in dollar-and-a-hal
novel. I'm going to advertise in the
morning for a man"
Betty had become thoughtful. She
had Just finished a course in the art
of shorthand and tyepwriting and II
was up to her to get work. Nab was
painting and Lillian was teaching. but
it was now necessary for Baby Betty,
as the family called her. to contribute
to the general exchequer. But If to-
day was a sample. positions were not
growing along the curbstones wait
ing to be plucked. and now she Yas
doubly discouraged.
When The car stopped at her corner
she flew home to talk things over
with the girls, and their indignation
over her recent experience was very
soothing.

panion of the car. I've found a perfect
lemon of a stenographer She is so ugly
she is fascinating. / dictate twice as
many letters as I used to just to con-
vince myself of my luck"
One day Miss Heck was away. She
sent ~ord that she was i'll. which wor-
ried Mr.. TrowbridSe very much. Poor
thing. They had worked her to death.
and to pay up for it he would hire one
of the "frontispiece kind" and it would
be the same thing all over again In the
meantime. it would pay to be kind to
the lady. He hunted up her address and
took down the receiver to order flowers.
Then he hung up. He would take them
himself on his way home.
The middle house in a suburban row
bore the number he was hunting. The
bell was answered by a pretty girl, who
turned a fairest red the instant she open
er the door and saw the caller. The
visitor was mystified. Where had he seen
her before? Something about her was
very familiar indeed. Recovering NM
self, he handed in the box with polite
inquiry fo- Miss Heck's health. Learn
ing that she was improving and hoped TO
be at work in a few days. he departed
not without a backward glance as he LETT.
Monday did not return MISS hech u
her duties, which afforded Albert Trow-
bridge another opportunity for inquiry
at the house and possible chance OF see
ing the same girl again.
He was gratified when the young lady
of Saturday answered the bell. This time
she demurely asked him in. Sister was
better and would wish to see him and
thank him for the flowers. Would he
please be seated and allow her to take
his hat?
He did not hear the giggling and fuss
ing in Mab's studio. where wayward
curis were being brushed fiat and pulled
back Into a hard knot and horrid To-
ton was putting a glaze on rose and
velvet complexion.
Putting in his time looking at photo
graphs and family groups. he discovered
something. 4 queer look came into his
face. which. had he been playing auction.
any of his friends would have known In
dicated certainty on his part Of holding
most of the odd tricks.

She shook hands in a business-like man.
ner and sat down.
The rest of what hapepned was such a
surprise to her. as Betty told the girls
afterward, she couldn't remember dis
tinctly. But it was something like this:

BRITAIN angry over
STATEMENT ON TRADE
u. S. Consul General at London Said
by Them to Have Misrepresented
Facts in Case.

1t became known yesterday that there
is some uncertainty as to whether Consul
General Skinner, who has been summon
ed from bis post at London to confer
with officials of the Department of State.
will return to his post
The State Department continues to re-
gard Mr.. Skinner as one of the most
capable men in the consular service, but
recent developments have raised the
question as to whether his usefulness in
London has not been impaired on ac-
count of the attitude of the British gov
ernment toward him.
Mr. Skinner last summer sent to the
State Department a report on British
trade with theSneutral countries of Eu-
rope, which was made up largely from
British official figures. In connection
with these figures. however. Consul Cen
eral Skinner made some comment which
was used in this country as the basis of
the charge that the British government
was discriminating against American
trade with the neutral countries for the
purpose of increasing British trade with
those countries.
AS result of this charge the British
government sent a note to the United
States citing figures of American and
British trade with those countries to
show that the allegations against Great
Britain were unwarranted by the facts.
At the same time it became known that
the British government was somewhat
irritated at Mr.. Skinner for having writ
ten report which was the cause Of the
attitude Of the British government being
represented to be one of queering Ameri-
can trade interests for the benefit of
English traders

COUNCIL WILL
GO PEOPLE
WITH ISSUES

A comprehensive set OF reso-
futions. putting the issue OF
municipal ownership squsreiy
before the people. was pre-
pared Monday by members Of
the city council. and will b
put on the ballot on March 2.
Mayor Gill's vetoes OF two bond
propositions. one to establish mu-
nicipal auto buses and the other to
extend Division A Of the municipal
railway to Ballard. are responsible
for the resolutions to be voted
upon. The council is anxious to
get an expression OF opinion from
the people on public ownership.
The council. therefore, concluded
to submit the municipal owneruh1p
issue In the form Of four questions.
To do this. the council does not
need the mayors approval. While
the vote OF the people on these
question is not legally binding on
the city. as the bond propositions
would have been. nevertheless it
would be an advisory vote which
the council could not very well L.
more.
The questions to be submitted
are:
I. Shall the city council con-
tinue the policy Of the last
three years Of Increasing and
extending the light and powsr
plant and thus reducing rates?
2. Shall the city connect o.
visions A and c by means Of
municipal auto busses, the ap-
preparation not TO exceed $780,

8. Shall Division A be extend

terminus to Ballard. at q cost

lesson in yesterdays battle Is the

engagements OF the war.
Big guns and high speed are the
determining factors in victory. Tao

of little use. The main strategy In
modern fight Is to pit superior
