Credit Men Detect Dishonesty

In the American Magazine is an ar ticle on credit and who should get it. The author says;
 Credit men in big retail estab1ish-
 ments. especially department stores, become very expert in sizing up femi- nine human nature. for the majority of shoppers in such stores are womeTi. A great many women are pretenderS. That is. they pose as grand ladies' when they are not. Rarely does such a woman, when she appears at the credit mans window, succeed in fool ing anybody. The expert credit man knows that many well-to do gentle women dress plainly, and that many pompous women of the plushhorse type nevertheless have financial standing, but he also knows that when coarse- featured woman wears fake jewelrg and ultra fashionable clothes or oth- CT bizarre combinations of cheapness and responsiveness. she will bear the closest investigation. If she happens insulted when asked to answer a few customary questions the credit man simply confirms his suspicious that her account is not desirable, Moreover, the credit man is dubious about a woni- an who talks either unduly talkative, or needlessly uucommunica tive. The woman who talks too much may be trying to hide something under her veil of palaver. And the one who will volunteer nothing at ali is at least unfair to the store, for she must ap- preciate that they are entitled to know something about her before extending credit"

Travel in Wartime

Charles Frederick Carter, in Leslies
 If the average man cannot grasp en- gineering intricacies like axle loads and such he will find plenty of things ne can understand when he goes away for m home under the new railroad dispensa- tion. In the first place he will not be able to plan his trip from pocket;ul of gorgeous free literature, for all rail- road adN cruising has been abolished Nor will he be able to buy his ticket while oat to lunch, for. ticket offices have been weeded out with ruthless hand in all principal cities, while the
 'off-line" ticket offices have been abot- 1Shed altogether. In these days the in . tending traveller stands in line at the terminal station or at the rare consol- dated city ticket office to buy his trans- portation. And if he wants to reserve berth on a connecting line he has tho pleasure of paying for the necessary telegram himself, for the custom of rep- dering this service at railroad expense has been abolished.
 Of course, there is always the alterna tive ol staying at home, which suits the railroad administration quite as well, for It has announced a policy of discoura g. ing travel during the war. The English tried that increasing fares 50 per cens, as an inducement to stay at home; but in spite O. all that could be done the volume of travel has held up to the ante -bcllum maximum. During our own first calendar year of war travel showed an incceas of Is per cent.
 Had the director general consulted the Secretary Of the Treausry first it Is more than doubtful if he ever woulI have undertaken to discourage travel. The American tourist industry has grown tc very large proportions, its gross revenues being estimated at two. thirds of a billion dollars year. May thousands of persons by no means all of whom can adyantageously be utilized in war activities, earn q livelihood by catering to the wants of tourists.

 "Outwitting the Hun" is the intrigu- ing title of Lieut.. Pat O'Brien's book which tells the absorbing story of his marvellous escape from Germany.
