Wool Fat Wasted in q S.

II is estimated that in the vicinity OF
Philadelphia alone from 5000 TO 1000
pounds of wool fat are being thrown
away every dag by the wool scourers.
Germany and France produce a relatively
enormous amount OF wool fat and have
been disposing Of It in various ways. This
product is put up either In anhydrous
form or in thick emulsions as a toilet

comes like the avalanche and not like
the glacier"
And Leonard Wood speaks by the
card.
!, He Is big, broad, human soul even
though warfare be his profession.
He is not an sgitstor nor a promoter
Of military expansion.
He is Just q man who knows mans
temper. a man who knows that even In
this day peace ever hangs on a silken
thread.
Leonard Wood is general in the Unit
ed States army.
It is the business Of a general in the
United States army 10 provide for the
safety Of his country in peace as well
as in war
When Gen. Wood arises to say that
this country is undermined we must give
the statement more importance than II
It came from a fire-eater.
Wood is normal; Wood is temperate;
Wood is safe!
The republic OF Switzerland. with a
population. say, as large as New York
city, has a ready army OF half a mil
lion man.
We. with a population twenty-five times
as great, can mobilize but ninety thou
sand men.
Gen. Wood says that we would need
three hundred thousand men to with
stand an attack OF q frst-clsss power.
In other words, we are less than one
third prepared-snd then only for the
early stages Of q war.
Brave men alone do not make a for
mldable army.
Warfare is a strange game for q
civilian. with many rules and many re-
quirements that a man fresh from COM
merce; and industry will find not easy 10
grasp quickly.
On the surface OF things. advocating an
adequate army looks as though one is
turning his back on progress. but upon
coming closer to the problem IL is the
result of watching progress only too In
tently and realizing that she moves not
as swiftly as We hope.
The time is not yet for war to be cast
sside-the time Is not yet!
Alas, we live only in the twentieth cen

Automobile shovrooms, that IL,
those which are well located. have al
ways commanded rent for at least
every cent that they were worth and
| sometimes far more. 1t is not every
part OF town that is adapted for the
opening Of motor car salesroom. In
all cities the dealers aim to center on
one or two localities. The closer they
are the better. Naturally, this means
that property owners are going to ex-
act all the rent that they can get. 1t
must be conceded that the location Is
worth so much money and the build
| ing the balance. But does the dealer
always make the most Of his advan-
tases? Unfortunately. no. He has
ample show windows, but how much
time does he give to decorating them
In an attractive manner? An automo-
bile In itself IL a thing worth taking q
second look at.
It's design represents the ideas of a
man who il paid a large salary for his
ideas. The workmanship also repre-
sents a big outlay Of money. In a
word there is hardly a car on the
market today but what in itself pre-
sents a pleasing appearance. Even
motor trucks that are not designed
with any idea of beauty but rather
with the idea of service have symmet-
rical lines.
How many times does the dealer
simply run his car In the window and
let 1t go at that? He never gives a
thought as to how il looks to the
passer-by or whether Il could not
have been set so the light would show
to better advantage. II 1t is an ac-
cessory dealer many times he lets the
same goods remain In his show win
dow for weeks at a time. He does
not keep abreast with the season and
display seasonsble goods. Every other
line of trade does. why should not he?
He is just as liable to attract q GUS
toner as Is the man in any other busi-
ness, in fact, he is more likely to. be-
cause the number Of competing firms
in his line are fewer in the city.
Realizing the fact that the time Of
their statesmen Is money to them, the
Chalmers Motor Car Company have
set the good example of seeing that
no visitor to the factory is kept walt
ing any longer than absolutely neces-
sary. The idea is well worth copying
by others. A salesman can only in
terview a certain number of people In
days time and when he is kept
warming his feet outside an office ne
begins to grow impatient and ner-
yous and when finally admitted is not
in a position to do either himself or
the man he is talking to justice. He
has had his ardor dampened and
there is no man in business today who
cannot learn something from some
one else. Statesmen as a rule are ken-
cut, wide-awake individuals. who have
formed the habit of taking in every
thing within sight at glance. Their
ideas are always fresh and even
though the goods they represent Will
not meet with your requirements, give
them an interview. You might learn
something.
