WOMAN HELPS
RULE BAGDAD

For the first time in England's his
tory a woman is helping to govern
conquered territory. This woman is
Miss Gertrude Lawthian Bell, the ia
nous Eastern traveller, who is acting
as assistant political officer at Bag
dad. She is the eldest daughter of
Sir Hugh Bell, the great ironmaster
and coal owner.
No woman has ever filled such
post before, and no one could have
been chosen who is better qualified
to fill it than Miss Bell, She has trav-
eIled in Syria, Asia Minor and Arabia
for many years, learning to know, the
people, their customs, their language
and political history as hardly any
woman IN the world, and only few
men, have been able to do. She
journeyed from Damascus to Bag
dad and back only a few months be-
fore the war broke out, and was the
first European to visit Havil. the
Shammar capital, in Central Arabia,
for over 20 years. In 1909 she was
robbed by Turkish brigands of her
horses and baggage during a trip
through Asia Minor, but she emerged
from that adventure, as from many
others, without harm, and succeeded
in gingering up the Turkish govern
ment sufficiently to have the property
recovered and restored to her. This
"a itscl1 is a feat - daring, and
those who have had dealings with
the Turkish government will testify
that it is almost worth ones life to
hold on to what one has, let alone re-
cover that which has been taken
away.

ToDAYs ANNIVERSARIES.

The first record of an historical

ADVERTISING AND COSTS.

Some men can think up queer ar
guments when trying to sell goods
For instance. a dealer the other day
said, IT don't advertise, so I can give
you what I say in that way in the
cost of the goods
It was noticed that the man kept
no clerks. He could do all the bust
ness there was for him on that basis
without assistance 1t would have
been just as logical for him to say
II keep no clerks, so I save that ex-
pense, and I give you the differ
ence.'
Anything sthat increases business
should reduce expenses When a
man increases sales by advertising or
by keeping more help, the cost OF
selling any article, if the business is
we'll managed, should be less than
before The small and non-adver-
tised business has too much overhead
expense for its volume of sales. As a
matter of common experience, it is not
able to give low prices.

go within a few hundred yards of the

men even have lowered themselves
