Method to Increase Trade.

In the American Magazine a woman
tells Of a suggestion she mad as
the result of a butchers Indifference.
II don wish to complain about your
service" she stated to the manager.
b u l should like to tell you how
to improve it-at least in my town."
The manager smiled in a wearied
sort of way and resignedly asked.
"Well?"
Tell your butcher alton to ex-
lend the same courtesies to a woman
who makes a 20-cent purchase OF pork
chops that he does to one who buys
a 81 leg of lamb. Your man is a good
butcher, but he is hurting trade by hui
initiating your poorer customers. His
method of obtaining big sales will re-
suit in no sales.
The manager to her surprise jumped
up and grasped her by the hand.
Thank you" he said, "for the sanest
criticism that has come to me for
weeks" And he gave her a good job
then and there.

War Cries of the Jew.

e. r. Lipsett. in the Century.
The Jew has as many var cries az
there are tongues in Europe, for he
fights with them all: and then he has
his own war cry, that eternal earful
cry of his that in these days is rending
the heavens e Russian and Galician
POlands.
AN still there is another and a new
er cry coming, the war cry of the neu-
trail Jew. To arms! to arms, o Israel!
has arisen, the sudden laundering cry
throughout the length and breadth of
G York Ghetto, and all the other
Ghettos in the larger cities of Ameri-
ca.
I'VE know, of course, what are the
arms of the Ghetto Jew; they are
tongue and pen. BY means of these
1t is intended to raise the Jew from the
DEPTHS of his ashes and make him a
live nation again. A Of
American Jews is to be called, and it
is to demand. at the conclusion of the
war. or before it, the return Of Pales-
tine to it's ancient owners For the
Jews are a national. and they must
have a land. and Palestine is theirs.
That is to say, in brief, that while
nearly $4,000 Jews on the European
battlefields are at one another's threats
in vindication each of a different ma
tionality, the Jews far away from the
are calling out to them: No you're all
in the wrong. For you are ali one.
1T is not for us to determine wheth-
er the Jews are q nation. 1t is not for
one mar to tell another what ne should
be. One is what one feels. If the
Jews feel themselves q nation, that is
sufficient"

MOHR MURDER CASE
 TO JURY TOMORROW
Presentation of All Evidence Con- cluded-Arguments for Defense
 Are Begun Today.

Providence, R. l.. Feb. 3-The pre- sentation of all of the evidence in tho trial of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr, c. Victor Brown and Henry IT. Spellman, charged with the murder of pr. c. Franklin Mohr, was con- cluded at the forenoon session of the superior court here today. It is ex- pected that the case will reach the jury some time tomorrow.
 The greater part of the session was occupied by the prosecution in seek ing to refute parts of the testimony offered during the last week by the defense. A witness called in behalf of the two negroes had testified that one of the bullets which struck Dr. Mohr entered his chest. The state today put on a physician who stated that both bullets entered the back. The state also sought to rebut the theory that the assault on Dr. Mohr was for the purpose of robbery.
 Arguments for the defense were then begun, Wm. H. Lewis speaking first in behalf of Brown.
 pr. William H. Magill, called in rebuttal by the state, testified today that both bullets that struck Dr. Mohr entered the back. Dr.. Otto Faust had testified for the defense that one bullet entered the chest and came out through the back.
 J. Albert Claffee court stenographer who recorded the testimony given be- fore the grand jury last September, stated that Mrs. Gertrude M. Daley, sister of Henry Spellman, declared then that she did not know what time Spellman returned home on the 1r,In Q asleep.
 George H. Hurley, a co-adm1nls- tratOr of Dr. MOhr'S estate contra ! dicted testimony given by Mrs. Mohr l to the effect that George Rocks Was disturbing things in pr, l Mohrs office immediately after the doctors death.

THREE SOLUTIONS
 TO ARMY PROBLEM
Gen. Pearson Says Opposition to Fed eralizatiOn of National Guard
 Comes From War Department.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Forner Ad- Jutant General Pearson of the Massa- chusetts National Guard told the house military committee today that the only opposition to federalization of the national guard has come from the war department and not from the militia.
 Tt has come,' he said, from the amateur lawyers of the professional soldiers who are trying to tell the pro- fessional lawyers of the amateur sol diers that it can't be done." @
 Gen. Pearson viewed the continental army plan as hopeless failure before it started.
 Gen. Pearson said he personally fa- vored conscription on the theory that "behind every ballot should be a bull let"
 There were just three solutions to the national army problem, he added: First and most effective, conscription; second a paid national guard and third, the continental army, which was totally impracticaP' he said

ALIVE IN HONOLULU.

New London, Feb. 3.-In the pro- bate court here this morning it was announced that Miss Harriet l., Hampstead, who had been absent from this city for forty-three years and was supposed to have been dead for many years, is alive in Honolulu. Miss Hampstead was an heir under the will of her uncle, who died ten years ago, and an administrator had been ap- pointed on her estate, under the pre- sumption that she was dead. About two years ago information was re- ceived by some of her relatives that she was still living in Hawaii and an investigation followed that proved that the statement was correct Miss Hampstead has $S17.45 due her from her uncle's estate.
