BUSINESS EFFICIENCY

How $40 Bill Built a BARRIERS Busi

"Iow's business, FRANKIE" inquired
n prominent New York advertising
man, as he sank into one Of the two
chairs Of a little barber shop located
ia. an office .a,al&dirg not far from the
southwest corner of Fifth avenue and
Thirty fifth street.

chairs busy" And he proceeded to
detail the symptoms. which indicated
that his little business was seriously

\ couple of weeks later the barber
received Il box containing several hun
dred booklets, entitled "Yon'ro Next"
They contained a friendly little talk
regarding the virtues of the shop. The
copy explained how special effort was
made to remember each customers

adjournment: how no one was urged to
indulge in extras how tho greatest
pains were cNC1tci to insure absolute
cleanliness. etc.
The genial barber placed a little
stack of the booklets upon the cigar

distributed n few among the offices Of

One Way to Get a
Husband.

William kenrick, a Berkshire gen.
leman of 100 years aso. left hts prop
erty, which was considerable, to an
only daughter. This young lady had
a mind of her own and, finding none
Of her suitors to her liking. simply de-
termined to wait until the right gentle
man should come along.
1t so happened that one day she at
tended a wedding at Reading, whore
she met young gentleman named
Benjamin Child. He was a poor at
torney. With this handsome young
man the young lady fell violently in
love. but still she was cautious. She
reasoned with herself for several days.

feeling that something must be done.
but unable from confusion of mind to
devise proper course. she took tho
cxtraordinary step OF sending tho
young man a letter demanding satis-
faction for alleged injuries. She ap-
pointed time and place for the hostile
meeting. Mr.. Child was much sur
priscd, and quite at a loss to conceive
who the challenger could be. BY the
advice of a friend. he decided to GO to
the duclling place. Here he was met
by the yonng woman. who, much to HIS
surprise. told him he would have to
fight her or marry her. He naturally
chose the latter and, as the saying
goes, they lived happily ever after

Where Are the Serious-Minded Girls?

soon, and youth was crushed. They
never had any.
Don't deplore the fact that girls of
out of your 'teens) are not willing to
spend all their time talking about the
big problems of the day. They will
come soon enough.
In this work day world, when
young women are out in the fore
ground of life's activities. they should
not be discouraged in their fun making
! talk if it is wholesome. 1t may be
the only gladstone period of their en-
istencc.
OF course the girl who approaches
womanhood and still clings to the
silly, foolish little youthful banter is
a sorrowful figure indeed. She is the
kind who on q moonlight Wednesday
night listens to his declaration of love,
says yes" and then proceeds to as
sumo the responsibility of Il household
and family without having given it
one profound thought.
She is the one who comes to say:
Il slept and dreamt that life was
beauty: l woke and found that life
was uulS.
There are women who arc childish
all their lives. who continually pass
| he serious business of life to some
body else. and whose troubles are
thrown off like water from a ducks
back. Such women usually wake up
to find that the century has moved on
apace: that it expects woman to hold
her own in the worlds work.
No. my dear man. girls are not less
serious minded than they were in the
olden days. If it could be measured
it would most likely be found that they
are even more sensible than their
ancestors, since the opportunities for
their coming in touch with the events
of the day are ever present.
Still. II you insist on knowing girls
of your own serious bent, seek and
YOU shall find.
There are hundreds of them In the

THE POPE'S PLAN REJECTED.

ne ilfSl formal reply TO the peace
proposal of the pope has been sub
mit,cd by the government of the
United States The proposal is rejected
primarily because of lack Of good faith
in the present rulers of Germany. 1t
has been decided that the word of these
men may not be taken as a guarantee
OF anything and that the proposals as
outlined by the pope will not be well
coined until the German people by a
and purpose in support of this or any
other plan. The United States is un-
willing 10 enter into negotiations UNI
less there is a clear open route to the
goal for which the allies are strug-
Cling, namely to make tho world safe
for democracy,
We have expressed the view that
one clause of the pope's proposal Of
tered a substantial groundwork for
peace negotiations. That was the con-
dition of complete disarmament for all
the nations of the earth save only the
necessary force for the maintenance
of order within the confines of n ma
ton.
The president takes the ground that
If peace We're accepted on the condi-
tons outlined by the vatican. it would
still be possible for the autocratic
| rulers of Germany to continue their
stranglc-hold on the people, to main
| tain tn" policy that has led to the ter
| rlbln war and its consequences. and
within a few years to recuperate the
strength OF the country and prepare
| it for another war
In other words. having before us
the long record of torn treaties aud
| broken pledges. We Will not sit at the
! peace table with the rulers of Ger
| many until the German people are
made free from the sp.ll of domino
ton at potsdam. and like the free peo-
pies OF other nations of tn" earth, as
sert their acquicscence to a program
that might not be SO different from
tn" on" proposed by the pope.
TO offer an illustrations: there Is a
ilSput" between two ncighhors over

them may have an undisp,ted title.

Thus III" war will 20 on despite the

tain that tho allied governments hav,,

The site is considered ideal, being
on the road, ON the lagoon, and only
a short distance from Perdido bay and
the Gulf Of Mexico. The Gulf Of

Is but a few hundred feet distant.

club house.
