Them 70 Make quick Trips.
To eliminate sexpensive selling
methods, many Wholesale houses have
equipped their sales forces with light
delivery cars, with the result that their
representatives nave been able to

carrying their samples with them.
This growing practice bids fair to
alleviate Il a great extent the troubles
OF the travelling salesman. Isolated
towns and o~nce-a-day railway trains
have made many a salesman throw up
his hands in disgust n desert his
profession for fields less wearisome
and nerve wrecking. Not only did
such railway facilities tend to reduce
the ranks of the travelling statesmen,
but they were responsible for an in
creased selling cost of dry goods.
shoes, groceries, hardware. hats and
similar staples. Using the railroads
the salesman vas able to make Dut

were suf1cient to call on the trade.
Tho remaining hours were spent IN
enforced idleness, with the result
that weekly hotel bills and expense

Rives wrote: Il find that / can make

road and the weekly expense is no

CHIEF TAHAN TEACHES BOYS
 To Make Fire by Friction With "Mother- Piece and "Fire-Stick'
Of the Kiowa Indian Tribe.

Gaitaike-good! Mighty glad you boys came, for the Chief was just thinking about you. Now don't be q bit afraid to walk on my old buffalo robe, sit right down on 1t. NO, ! haven't forgotten what you were com ing for, and I've got my old fire mak- ing things all ready.
 Of course if you were Boy Scouts and I hope you will be some day-you would know all about how to make fire by friction, for that is one of the things they do. Somebody I presume who had been among the Indians learned from them how to do it, and then taught it to the Boy Scouts.
 Well, here is my old hearth piece with holes burned in it. A long time ago the Indians called this the "M other piece" or Good mother" Next, here is my fire stick, or drill. You can see that it is not smooth, that it has several corners on it. The old time Indians used to call this stick The -father-one." Now then l put the string of the f1re-bow once around the stick-you see that all the time the string is tied to each end of the bow; and now I put this little stone with a, place in it to fit over the top of the drill, with a little grease in it so that it will not take fire at the end when I begin to work the bow. Now I take the little stone in my left hand on top of the drill, take the end of the bow in my right hand. But first I put this powdered cedar bark under the notch, and the end of the now then, I put the end of the drill on the notch, and all is ready to be- gin. See. I push the bow from me, draw it back keen on doing that, fast CT and faster-now watch. See the smoke? Wait a, little. There now, there is spark on the powdered bark under the notch, andthe end of the drill. NoW--wait-a-mo till l blow it-with-ny breath. There! we have a blaze. Now I'll put some of this dry grass and twigs on it, and pretty soon we'll have a good fire.

AUSTRIA HAS 15
 DAYS ID DECIDE
Delegates Considering Terms of
 Peace Offered

Paris, July 21.--Austria' delegates to the peace conference today had in their hands for study the complete peace conditions of the Allies, the sections of the treaty which were in- complete when the terms were orig inally presented on June 20, having been handed to the Austrian dele gates yesterday without ceremony. Austria is given 15 days in which to reply.
 Army Cut to 3o,0oo.
 The new clauses were those dealing with reparations, finances, military provisions and a few minor items. The chief provision of the military terms is that Austria must not have larger army than 30,O0O men, vol untarily enlisted, conscription being abolished. As to reparation the treaty provides Austria shall accept respon- sibility, together with her allies, for the losses the Allied powers and their nationals suffered through the war Because of Austria's limited resources however, she is asked to undertake only to make com mpensations for dam age done to civilians and their prop erty, the requirements being similar to those of the German treaty.
 No Fixed Damage.
 No specific amount of damage is named. This will be determined by the reparation commission set up by the German treaty. a special section of which will take the Austrian sit uation in hand. Notification of the amount is to be given Austria be- fore May 1, 1921 and period of thirty years is allowed for payments in installment although "a reason able sum" must be paid next year and the first four months of 1921. The remaining payments are to be taken care of by a bond issue. Pro- vision is made for restoration by Austria, of the areas she invaded and replacenn ent in kind of materials taken or destroyed.
 Provisions Are Complicated.
 The provisions regarding the pre- war debt of Austria are rather com plex Each of the states formed of the former dual monarchy, however, must assume part of this debt, the reparation commission to fix the amounts It is stipulated the repub- lie of Austria is alone responsible for the war debt held outside the form CT empire.
