A Hint to Travellers

Kathleen Hills, in Leslie's.
 The wise traveller is the forehanded traveller, who plans his trip well in ad- vance and makes his reservations for sleepers and hotel accommodations weeks before his journey begins. The wisdom of this plan was evident throughout the southern exodus this winter for every where hotels were crowded to capacity and sleepers were at premium. Even if our international crisis does not develop serious proportions, so that travel is hampered by military operations, it is well for those who usually take a sum- mer's outing to remember that there are more people travelling each year tesIn ever before, and since Europe is still closed to the tourist the number visit ing our own resorts constantly grows larger. If you would travel in ease and comfort and get the best for your money at each stoppings place, plan your vaca- tions early.
 Of late, the phrase, Do your Christmas shopping early' has become popular with those humanely inclined. Now Make va cation preparations early" should mean as much to the travelling public, for who does not take some kind of a summer outing, be it only days trip to some nearby resort?

WARMING NATIONS SHOW B|G GAIN IN
 RETAIL BUSINESS
Surprising Figures Given Out by One of LondOn's Greatest Department
 Stores
By HERyEy w. LAIRD

Atlanta, Ga, April 24-(Special.) )-The answer to the question, What will the war do to business?" can largely be found in showing of what 1t has done for business in the countries for some. time in the conflict
 The big London department store ot Selfridge & Co.,, in it's balance sheet ot January 1, 1917, showed a gain in profits due to increase in sales" of e225, ,1S7 for 1916, compared to e15O,222 the year before. The betterment, it will be seen is 50 per cent
 In an article by W. A. Lydiatt, author of Lydiatt's Data Book of Canada, is the following: "The war, instead of in- turing Canada, has strengthened it finan- cially, commercially and industrially. There is scarcely anything more extra ordinary in the countrys history than the development which has taken place in Canada's trade since early in 1915"
 Speaking of their experience, H. Cor don Selfridge, managing director of their London stores in the London Financial Times, says: This large increase in our turnover has come in our staple goods goods necessary for the household use ana TOT the WardrObe. The sale of lux uries and extravagant articles has prac- tically ceased. Nor is our increase due to any government contracts"
 Indicating a period for comparative pur- poses the paper quoted gives the follow ing statement of the profits of the Self ridge London stores: 1913 e104, ,029; 1914, e1S1,546; 1915, e134,791; 1916, a15O, ,222 1917, e225, ,137
 At the beginning of 1910 Canada had 19,- 21S industrial plants; in 1915 they had grown to 21,291. Increases were shown from 1910 to 1915 as follows: Capital, $1,- PAT, ,5S3 cog to $1.9S4 991, ,427; salaries and wages $241 ,00S, ,416 to s2S7, ,652 5O4 value of products, s1,165, ,975, ,639 to S1392, SIG, ,g53 Yet" continued the writer, "by the close of 1915 the present period of industrial production was just getting under way
 In the same article it is noted that wages have been raised to above what they were in 1910, that with 20 per cent of the young men in service the pay rolls are larger than at any time in the his tory of the country, and that the farmer Is making more money than he ever dreamed of making, despite the scarcity of labor

Young Old Men

Thomas F. Logan, in Leslies.
 A generation ago it was customary to talk of those who had reached 40 as of mature age. man of those years is now considered young, and at 50 or 70 can have a brilliant future still ahead That our forefathers had no such conceptions of relative youthfulness can easily be shown. The constitution provided that no one should be eligible for election to the Senate at an earlier age than 95, the reasons advanced being that such a restriction was necessary in order to keep the Senate made up of grave and rever- end seigniors-elder statesmen, who would not be blown about with every veering wind of political doctrine. Today there is not a senator who is just barely be- yond the age limit, and the great ma jority do not come into senatorial hon. ors short of 50 and 55 Alexander Ham, ilton was a sedate Secretary of the Treas ury at 32. The younger Pitt became prime minister, first lord of the treas ury and chancellor of the exchequer of England at "A. Washington spoke of re- tirement from active life to well earned rest and leisure for his remaining years when still but 46. In recent times we have had no Presidents young in years by the former standards, unless Roose- welt be cassed as an exception in con- nection with his first term of service. Even the popular novelists have sensed the change, now making their successful business men of 40 or whereabouts attrac- tive to the heart of the female reader. This is admittedly an age of young men, as has been claimed, but they are still young anywhere on the sunnyside of 70 and many of the most efficient have passed the threescore mark.

Avoid experiments at this time. When conditions are normal, and one has the time, inclination and money necessary to Indulge, experiments in agriculture and horticulture are interesting, fascinating and sometimes profitable, but now, with nearly all vegetables costing double what they did in ordinary times, lard at 35 cents a pound, bacon at 35 cents, S5-cent flour at $1.50 and other things in propor- tion, it behooves us to stick to the old stand-bys and plant that which we know will grow, and which will be good to eat and which will help us to economize on costly foods.
 One of the old stand-bys is turnips, an- other is mustard for greens, another is cowpeas, another long-legged blue-stem Georgia collards-all good enough in their place to make a sinner say grace.

IF 1t is found that we are compelled
to erect a steel plant, It will be on ths
