OF Wall Street capitalists, headed by
Stuart Whitney.
Already | had heard something OF
Whitney. In the Street he was well
known as an intensely practical man,
though far above the average exploit
er both in eleverness and education.
AS q matter of fact, Whitney had
been farsighted enough to see that
scholarship could be capitalized, not
only as an advertisement, but In moro
direct manners. Just at present one
of his pet schemes was promoting
trade through the canal between the
east coast of North America and the
west coast of South America. He had
spent a good deal of money promot-
ing friendship between men OF affairs
and wealth in both New York and
Lima. 1t was a good chance, he fig
ured. for his investments down in Pc
ru were large, and anything that pop
u)arized the country in New York
could not but make them more valu-
able
Morton seemed rather averse to
talking about Whitney" ] ventured to
X,
THAT may be part of Whitney's s
cleverness,'' he returned thoughtfuHy.
"As a patron of art and letters, you
know, a man can carry through a
good many things that otherwise
would be more critically examined. :
Kennedy did not say it in way
that implied that he knew anything
very bad about Whitney Still, / re-
flected, it was astute ip the man to
insure the cooperation OF such peo-
pie as Norton. A few thousand dol
lars iudiciously spent on archaeology
might cover up a multitude of sins OF
high finance.
Nothing more was said by either
of US, and at last we reached the nm
ancial district We entered tall sky
scraper on Wall Street Just around
the corner from Broadway and shot
up in the elevator to the floor where
Whitney and his associates had a
really palatial suite of offices.
AS we opened the door we saw that
Lockwood was still there. He greet
ed us with a rather stiff bow.
Professor Kennedy and Mr.. Jane
son." he said simply, introducing US
to Whitney, friends of Professor
Norton, / believe met them today
up at Mendoza's."
"That is a most fncomprehensible
affair." returned Whitney, shaking
hands with us. What do you make
out of it,"
Kennedy shrugged his shoulders
and turned the remark aside without
committing himself
Stuart Whitney was typical pro-
moter, large, full blooded man, with
a face red and inclined to be puffy
from the congested veins. His voice
alone commanded respect, whether he
said anything worth while or not. In
fact, he had but to say that it was
a warm day and you felt that he had
scored telling point in the conver.
sation.
Professor Norton has asked me to
look into the loss of an old Peruvian
dagger which he brought back from
his last expedition" explained Ken,
nedy, endeavoring to lead the conver-
sation in channels which might ar
rive somewhere.

Senatorial whiskers Passing

ats an odd fact" remarked man
who is always observing things, "but
although the number of senators in
congress is practically the same as it
has been for years, the number of
shaves in the senate barber shop is
several times as great as it was few
years ago. OF course the fact that
whiskers are not so fashionable now
adays as they used to be has a great
deal to do with it, but here is another
thing I've noticed: Most of the men
now elected to the senate are compar-
atively young men who wear no beard
or perhaps sport only a mustache at
most Naturally these. smooth faced
men are obliged to get shaved quite
often, whereas the old-time senator,
with his shock of whiskers, had no
occasion to seek the BARRIERS services
except to have his hair trimmed at
two or three-months intervals"

Novel Lumber-Transporting Vessel

A vessel which has been designed for
use in the carrying of lumber barges
from Portland, Ore, to San Francisco
is be somewhat like a floating dry
dock, with a length of $40 feet, a
beam of 80 feet, a hold depth of Al
feet and carrying capacity of 10
barges, loaded with total of 5,000,-
100000 feet of lumber. When it is
desired to load or unload, water will
be admitted to the vessels tanks to
lower her just as is done with a float
ing dry dock. When lowered suffi-
GENTLY, the gates at the bow can be
opened and the barges can be readily
foated in or out of the hold.
After the loaded barges have been
floated through the gates into the hold
the water is pumped out of the tanks,
the vessel rises and with the barges
resting on the bottom of the hold is
ready to put to sea. Three sets of
barges, 10 at each end of the route
and 10 on the way, are used SO that
while the ship is at sea barges may be
loaded for the next trip.

WHY ENCOURAGE CREDIT

Why do merchants encourage the
credit system says the Industrial
World. You answer that you don't.
Yes, but you do If the system were
not encouraged by the merchants it
would not be in existence today. Did
you ever stop to think that the mer-
camille community of the country are
the only body of men that tolerate the
credit system. Let's see you buy
postage stamps, postal notes, money
orders, etc, on credit; try it and what
will you be told. Go to the theater
and you pay money. Express COM
panies demand cash, and railroad tick
cts are cash on delivery to the pur-
chaser. Why should not the mer-
chant demand cash? Simply because he
encourages the credit system. 1t may
be an impossibility to completely era
dicate the system but restricting limi-
tations on credit is step on the right
road, and its evolution will be practi-
cally a cash basis system of doing
business. 1t is worth a trial and
should be begun at once. 1t would
quickly spread, like measles in a
country school, and when it does it
will solve the great problem for all
time. When sifted down it would be
found that the credit system is the
Progenitor of and responsible for
more wells that effect the financial
business world than all other agen-
cies combined. Not only this but it
fosters extravagance-the purchase
of goods which can be very well done
without.

THE NEEDS OF FARMERS WIVES

The government has just issued a
third bulletin discussing the needs of
farmers wives. The farmers wife
has been considered beast of burden.
In old times some of the heaviest of
tasks of the farm were laid on her
shoulders. Churning, butter making,
milking, were some of her special
fields. Added to cooking, washing,
house cleaning, sweeping, ETC., 1T made
very toilsome life.
The farmer would have his hours of
respite when he would take pleasant
drive into the market town to get the
mail, make purchases, and deliver pro-
duce. Theoretically he was engros-
sed in business. Actually he spent
many hours of diverting gossip along
the curbstones. 1t was not often that
his wife went on these pleasant little
junkets. She was too busy.
Butter making is now done more
in creameries and factories. Milking
is sometimes done by machinery, and
the farm hand does it much more than
the wife today. A good many farm
ers do have some conveniences like
running water, sewing machines, bet
ter kitchen tools. But it's safe to
guess that the farmers wife works
longer than the farmer even today.
1t is sometimes said that many
farmers wives go crazy. The work
may seem quiet, but the monotony
may allow the mind to become NOR
bid. With the ever ready telephone
on hand to exchange gossip after
breakfast the loneliness is less acute
now.
Probably Wholesome recreation
would do more to amelorate the lives
of farmers wives than any household
luxury or modern machinery Some
one notes that in a certain town an
improvement society went to work and
got up a monthly series of old time
country dances. The city people
snickered at them, in these days of
fox trots and one-steps. But no dane
ing master at $500 per hour was re-
quired to teach them. and they gave
expression to the desire for rhythmic
motion just as well as the latest
Broadway twinkle. And the farmers
families would talk about one of these
dances for a week afterward. No COM
plants of loneliness in that town!

NO EXCUSE FOR USING
CONTRACTION Amt"
Il 10 About the Worst Contraction In
the English Language.


"Ain't" is an improper abbreviation
Of "are not" British writers spell 1t
ant" which properly indicates its
derivation. Americans make II an in
elusive offense. using IL for Fam not"
and sis not" as well as for ''are not"
1t Is unquestionably the worst instance
OF slovenliness in the common speech
OF today.
Yet II Is by no means OF universal or
even common use. It will slip occa-
sionally from refined lips. always with
a Jar to the enunciator. as well as to
the nearer. But the habitual user of
"ain'ts" is careless OF refinement. He
may be an excellent citizen who never
beats his wife nor kicks the cat But
there Is likely TO be something slIpshod
about him somewhere. For "ain't'' is
needless. as well as cacophonous. II
fills no void and supplies no need.
English observers complain supercil-
iously OF the laxness OF American
speech. American observers who have
listened to the marvels Of Lancashire.
Yorkshire. Devonshire and other shire
dialects are inclined to resent any as
sumption Of British superiority. But
it Is none the less desirable TO eliml-
nate our own linguistic sins. and of
these "ain't" is the most deplorable.-

WOMEN & MEN UNLIKE

of Putting the Thing
to Test

Why Is ii that YOU can always tell a
story written by man from one writ

to rather severe test within the last
month. with results that were star
Ting.
Ten men and women, all OF whom do
considerable novel reading. had had
dinner together One OF the men asked
the question | put at the top Of these
paragraphs. He was In his own home
and went to some trouble to prove that
the sex of authors is an easy thing TO
determine.
Giving to each Of the nine others a
pencil and piece of paper. the host pro-
ceeded TO read extracts from twenty
different books and magazines, select
ing parts In which proper names would
not identify the story. AS he read each
person wrote down his guess as to
whether the author was a man OF a
woman.
OF the $50 answers made by the
nine persons TO the twenty tests all but
eight were correct. AS he kept the
books from which he read concealed
it was impossible to get aid with the
eye.
But, although everybody guessed right
almost every time no one could still
give a good definition OF the conun-
drum. Why does a woman write diff
ferently from a man?-Philadelph
