"Try an Upper Berth"

Idea Is to fill every Pullman which is
hauled, upper and lower, instead of
hauling string of them, in which only
the lower compartments are occupied.
All of which brings to mind that it
probably is the story Of the proverbial
fat man and his difficulties in distrib-
uting himself comfortably over an up

In the public mind against the upper
berth. The railroad companies them
selves give the following recommend

Switzerland a. an Angel Of Mercy.

In the early days Of August, 1914,
when the furies Of war descended upon
Europe. Switzerland realized that it
would be her lot to act as angel Of
mercy the war sufferers and prison
ers Of her belligerent neighbors. The
little Alpine republic was herself
obliged to arm against possible viola.
tons Of her territory; she was forced
into an economic neutrality which de-
mands ever-increasing sacrifices, and
which at this time has become an Issue
Of utmost importance, writes Marie
Wfdmer In the American Review. Of
Reviews. But, Notwithstanding her
own heavy burdens and the serious
food problems confronting her, switx-
erland has not for one instant paused

and grateful that such a high and mo-
BILE task has been allotted to her.
Switzerland, the home Of true de-

that most benevolent institution, the

This is the season to line the chicken

Why Worryi

May pass on a suggestion that has
proved very helpful2 We have all seen
those pretty mottos which read, Don't
Worry" and haven't they always called
forth the same old, petulant query,
How can I help it?" Well, when you
want new motto, have it read, "Why
Worry?" You will be astonished at
the train Of thought 1t will suggest,
says writer in Nautilus. You look
at 1t and say, ''That's so. Why?" You
sit down to reason out "why." In the
office where work we have "Why
Worry?" motto in green and white
stretched across one wall, and we be-
lieve that motto has done more good
than all the Don't Worry's" you could
find In the town. OF vast number of
callers there are very few who do not
make some comment-all favorable
comments, too. The office staff gets
inspiration there with each new day,
and 1t is truly one of the office fixtures
as is the managers desk or the book
case filled with volumes from the pens
OF our cleverest and most talented
writer's.
Sit down right now and ask your
own soul-"Why Worry?"

LIABILITY FOR AGENTS ACTS
One Should Ascertain Limit Of Respon'
sibility Before DeIegatina Powers,
Says Arthur Train.

Most men think they can get along
without lawyer. Arthur Train, the
famous author and lawyer, shows In an
article in the American Magazine how
foolish this belief Is. He says:
1.-THE most dangerous practice of or
dinary business, or even of ordinary
domestic life, is the employment of an
agent or servant without first ascer-
taining how far you can be made liable
for contracts or purchases which he
may make. Suppose that you have
allowed your hired man to buy lawn
mower and grass seed at the corner
store, that the storekeeper has called
you up on the telephone, and that you
have told him that the order was all
right. At the end of the month you
may perhaps receive a bill for all sorts
Of implements and supplies which you
have never received. Are you liable?
Many things which you absolutely for
bid your agent to do may. yet be with
in what the law calls the apparent
scope of his authority
"In plain language this simply means
that, when you employ another to act
for you, you are bound by his acts and
agreements SO long as they are such
rs reasonable man, in view of the
general nature of his employment,
would assume from all the circum-
stances to be authorized. Obviously,
If the shoe is on the other foot, and
you have yourself delivered goods to
somebody else's foreman. in accord
nnce with regular custom, 1t would
be unfair for the employer to refuse
to pay you for the goods on the ground
that he has instructed the foreman to
make no more purchases, when he has
given you no notice to that effect. Just
what acts are apparently within the
scope of an agents authority, is a
question which even learned Judges
dnd 1t hard to decide"
