The Well'Managed Store as a
Career for Your Son or Daughter
Fathers and Mothers Should Not Underestimate the Or
portunity Offered in COMMERCIAL EDUCATION
by Big Business Concerns.

What every American wants for himself and for his
child is OPPORTUNITY. No wants to go into blind
alley knowing that after little while he turn around
and come out where he went in
Everyone seeks career, an avenue with way out at
the far end.
We advise fathers and mothers seeking opportunities for
young men and young to think of the well managed
stores.
Every year the opportunity offered for employment in
these stores increases.
We pointed out recently the fact that the young man or
alert attentive get in the of three months

wemsnaged store such could be obtained in no other
way.

Jordan Writes on the Girl Who Is Sponge
Think They Exist Only Be With No thought OF the Young

Of being more interested in him
than she really Is.
II she knows him well enough to
take a sisterly attitude toward him,
her problem is more easily solved.
She can say:
mo, we won't go TO the theater.
It's too hot and too expensive.
Well take long ride, instead, on
top of the Fifth avenue bus"
The young man may appreciate
this, or he may not II his funds
are low he may be grateful. If
they are not, he may be resentful.
Perhaps he does not like bus
rides.
In either case, the chances are
that he will assume a lordly air
which will make the girl uacom-
Portable.
For. dear Mrs. r. v. L., one
thing at least is certain. A young
mans attitude toward the money
question, with any girl, is quite
different from his attitude when
he discusses That same question
with his motherl
i agree with you that the ideal
place in which a girl can enter
tain a man is in her own home.
You must not forge5, however,
that a great number Of girls have
no homes in which they can enter
tain. They board, or they live in
lodgings. Our streets and parks
and trolley cars are filled with
such girls.
They cannot endure their hot
little rooms. They explain that
they must go somewhere" II il
the natural and the entirely prop
er thing that they should seek
coolness and legitimate, inexpen-
sive entertainment with other
girls and boys of their own age
For here again / do not agree
with you. believe with all my
heart in the friendship and free as
sociation OF young men and young
girls. ! rejoice that we have pass
ed thoce days Of which you speak,
In which no young man sought the
society Of a girl unless his in
tentions we're serious" That was
an impossible situation. Thank
heaven we have changed It!
We have reached a period of free
and frequent friendships between
boys and girls of delightful COM
radeship and Of the common bens-
The Washington times., 1917-09-14

Such girls belong to a well-de-
fined class. They are easily recog-
nizabie. A clever young man
such a young man as your son
must be-should be able TO class
ify them quickly and TO cross them
from his list Of acquaintance.
Not that they would do him any
harm, beyond that of encouraging
possible extravaganza. They are
not immoral girls. They are sim
ply young and pleasure-loving and
thoughtless. They know nothing
about the incomes of their men
friends. To do them justice. they
think very little about money one
way or the other.
From their point Of view It is a
young mans duty to entertain his
girl friends; they do not stop to
think that while he may spend but
little on any one girl, the cost of
entertaining several girls every
week, or one girl several times a
week, may mount up to a big total
But l am not sure that the ques-
ton OF money-spending is as seri-
Gus as you think 1t Is. The ex-
penditure Of a small part Of ones
income on the entertainment OF
ones friends has its legitimate
place in every individuals expense
account. do not see why young
men should escape the obligation.
To burn up their salaries" is
all wrong. To entertain in a large
way on a small income is all
wrong. To occasionally and mod
erately entertain their girl friends
is all right. Any young man worth
his salt should be willing TO do
this. II is up 10" his common
sense to avoid spending too much,
and to avoid the society OF those
who demand too much.
OF course, the ideal friendship
for a young man is with a nice
girl who realizes, among other
things, that he is beginning his
career. that his present income is
small, and that he should not be
permitted to waste II But you will
admit that with even the incest
girl the situation calls for tact.
Young men are very proud. The
girl who obviously considers" the
money a man Is spending on her
is apt to hurt his vanity. Also
she lays herself open TO q suspicion

Influence of Young Friends
Over Girls and Youths
Exceeds Parents.

Neither for them nor for our
selves can we make sweeping
laws. Human nature being what it
is, each individual boy and girl
whose lamp is trimmed and burn
ing must try, by its light, to find
companions whose lamps are burn
ing, too.
In this search we who have
travelled the road before them can
show them the way. We cannot
force them to take it. We cannot
prevent them from turning off to
the right or left if they choose,
nor from following will-o-the-
wisp.
One great and grim fact we
must admit. The influence of
their young friends over our sons
and daughters is usually much
greater than any influence we
ourselves can bring to bear.
That being so, We can only
advise, and watch, and hope.

Dear Mr.. Brisbane:
II seems the consensus of opin-
ion, together with my own, that
the editorials, the comic pictures,
the features, the fiction, ETC., are
the compelling forces th2t are now
fast interesting the entire COM
munity in The Times. l cannot
conceive Of any great number Of
people keeping a newspaper, how
ever, interesting. It is my opin-
ion that the majority of people re-
member and talk about those
things they read in The Times
that especially impress them, and
feel q keen sense of anticipation
fo- the cleverness and wit that
tomorrow's Times will bring.

lonely boys and girls have found

our big cities.
To sum up: Your position, dear
Mrs. R. v. L. is perfectly clear
By all the evidence your boy is an
unusually fine type Of boy-the
friend Of his mother. a soldier Of
his country. 1t Is the most natural
thing in the world that you should
see dangers lying in wait for him
on every side, and that most OF
these dangers should have fem
mime forms.
Don't forget the other side OF
the question. All boys are not

important than the money question
is the question OF the influence our
boys and girls have on one an
other. The best we can hope for
is that those we love will seek and
find their own kind. They usually
do-though at first they may make
mistakes.

their young lives by operating such heavy and loco

Perhaps Mr. Ford hasn't observed that there are rail

the high speed of modern transportation II he has, he
certainly hasn't taken time TO consider the part played
BY heavy steel tracks and trains in this safetytirs pro-

safety in travel is in those heaviest of traffic tanks the
