WOMEN IN BUSINESS WORLD
Gentle Sex Rapidly Learning to Com.
ply With Rules That Are Neces-
sary for Success.

One reason that women have al
ways looked at life through the per-
sonal perscope is because for CEN
turtles their duties have been con-
fined to their own homes and chill
dren. The great mother instinct,
however. has gone out into the
world. A woman has said wisely
that it used to be only "my children, !"
but now women are learning to say
"our children" and because the
women of the nation have awakened
to the clarion call that has taken
them out INFO every avenue of work
they are learning some of the prob
lens that before they knew nothing
about. They are learning to help in-
stead of hinder in the business world
and they are realizing one of the
big facts that men have learned long
since. and that is that the business
must be carried on along impersonal
lines; that the successful firm must
require that all customers and pa
irons meet the same standards that
no business can be built upon a
foundation of favor or concession !;
that no woman has a right to ask
extra favors that if she does she is
making herself one of that fast
dwindling army of parasites, who
are not helpers but are hinderers in
the work of the world.-New York

WEARING HAT IN ELEVATOR
Swedish Writer RaffIed by Con.
Trajectory Customs.

Otto Johanssen, who repre-
sented the Social-Demacraten in
the party of Scandinavian news
paper men who recently visited
the United States as guests of
the committee on public informa-
ton, found the American custom
of removing hats in an elevator
rather battling. In the course
of an article on the United
States he writes: When, shortly
after landing in New York, ]
entered the elevator of the Hotel
Vanderbilt. young woman came
hurrying into the elevator,
which led to all hats being hasti-
ly removed. My own followed
without very long consideration.
1t was the American gentleman's
chivalrous politeness to woman,
for none of the men knew the
lady. An admirable and pleas
ing custom.
II began to revise my some
what incorrect idea of American
politeness, though a couple of
days later | was tempted for a
moment to pause in this revi-
sion. | was looking up a newly
made friend, a Swedish architect,
who had his Office in one of those
office buildings that are so
characteristic Of New York.
When entered the elevator |
found a young lady and three
men, but the men had their hats
on. though they looked like
gentlemen. | naturally took off
my hat. to set them good ex-
ample, But they did not pay
any attention though | seemed
70 discern the shadow of a smile
from one of them. During the
long trip up to the top of the
skyscraper two more men got in
and thew too kent their hats
on. | began to feel it painfully.
However. my host explained
it to me: In office buildings one
does not take off ones hat for
ladies' as there at their work
place, one treats them as equals.
This. too. is a kind Of polite
hess. by Bassett Digby in st.

When we read about the big
strikes of tradesmen in the big
cities, the trouble. fights and
commotion that often follow. we
{. are happy in the thought that
conditions are such that not all
classes of workers can strike.
Take for instance the mail SER
vice. wouldn't it be a fine mess
if postmasters or their clerks
could strike for higher wages
and leave us without mail de-
livery for days at time? In
spite of the fact that they have
no unions. their labors ought to
be appreciated anyway. even
though they are not SO loud in
voicing their demands. The
wages of a fourth class post
master ought to be where it is
a living wage.
Then there are the teachers of
public schools. They have no
union either and it is a mighty
good thing too that they don't
some day tell the children to go
home and stay indefinitely until
their demands for shorter hours
and increased pay are met
Teaching has not been paid in
proportion to what many trades
have been paid and it is now a
case of raising their wages or
experience a shortage Of teach,
ers. After many years of study
and then to receive $50 or $65
a month for teaching is not any
thing that makes it look invit
ing. Teachers are not earning
anything while going to school
such as other girls are while
learning a trade.
1t is a good policy to especial
ly appreciate those who are moi
everlasting making demands, ant
who are doing good work.

I To be possessed of head of heavy,

wavy and free from dandruff is
merely a matter of using a little
Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get q small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine now-it costs but few
cents--all drug stores recommend it
apply little as directed and with
in ten minutes there will be an ap-
pearance of abundance, freshness,
fluffiness and an Incompatible
gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you can not find a trace
of dandruff or falling hair; but
your real surprise will be after
about two weeks use, when you
will see new 'hair-fine and downy

sprouting out all over your scalp
Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and
it never fails to stop falling hair at
once.
If you want to prove how pretty
and soft your hair really is, moisten
cloth with little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair,
taking one strand at time. Your
beautiful in just few moments
hair will be soft, glossy and de-

Bessorabia Declares War
on Roumania as a Republic

London, March IA republic
has been proclaimed in Bessarabia
and its directorate has ordered mill
tary operations against the Rou-
manian army, = part of which has
been forced to fall back, according
to a Warsaw dispatch to the Tele-
graph. 1t is stated that the move
ment is evidently engineered by boil
sheviki, supported by Ukrainians
who seek to break through Rou-
mania to establish contact between
Moscow and Budapest.
Bessarabia was, under the old re-
gime in Russia, province lying
along the northeastern frontier OF
Roumania. 1t has an area of 1864
square miles and had a population
in 1906 of 2,262,400 Roumania laid
claim to Bessarabia after the col
lapse of the imperial regime in Rus
STA and Roumanian troops have been
occupying parts of the country.
