Meanwhile Ketch's standing with his
employers had advanced. His work. was
more important and less combining, ms
salary was larger. Added TO his salary
his income from the magazines furnished
him decent competence. so he married
a girl with no more money than he had
clever girl who was his ideal helpmdfe.
In addition TO her nrany other accomplish
ments she could typewrite.
His success did not move John keteh TO
quit his job. He reasoned that he might
never again write anything that would
sell. so he held fast to the desk that was
sure TO butter his bread the first of each
month.
1t was his habit in later wears to de
scribe himself as lazy. The fact of the
matter was that he carefully mulled over
a story until he saw it in its entirety.
Then, and only then, wonld he commence
to write This comprised his so-ealled
laziness. Truth to tell, it was a tremcn
dous economiZer of effort.
Bearing this fact in mind makes it
easier to understand how he was able to
accomplish the work of his first strenuous
year of married life. For during tins
year Ketch wrote four magazine stories
and also his first real novel. He wrote

husband, Carleton ii. Parker, and in

their life together. a comprehensive study
of his work in social psychology and eco
Monies for the cause of labor. Though
still young man, not quite 40 when he
died a little over year ago, Carleton
Parker had for some time been recognized
as one of the leaders in his field in Amer
lea. His articles and lectures as well a.
bis achievements in adjusting labor diff
eulties and mediating strikes had kept him
before the public for several years, and
his audience was increased by his popu-
larity at the various universities whore he
taught.

These were followed by his years of
teaching. first at Harvard, then at the
University of California and later at the
University of Washington, where he was
in charge of the department of economies
at the time Of his death. ASIDE from his
university work during this time Parker
undertook various Government commits

Mrs. Parker from her husbands writings,

THE TWO DOLLAR BILL.


To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-sir: The
81 bill should be retired. 1t causes more
trouble all along the line than any other
denomination in Uncle Sans currency.
/ personally saw two women passen-
gers short changed by a conductor on
q Broadway car when each rendered q
81 bill. and he got away with one, as
the woman went forward In the car be-
fore discovering the mistake and he
would not make good when she returned
to claim the dollar short
The other passenger called his atten-
ton to the shortage Immediately after
she deposited her nickel in the box and
the conductor disgorged.
Two dollar bills are considered hoo
docs and Stunned at the banks and else
where when It is possible to get dollar
bills.
Persons frequently make the mistake
OF overlooking the figure on their bill
and advantage is taken Of the fact by
the INSCRIPTIONS when making change
Complaint is heard that vendors and
ticket agents at Coney Island and other
resorts make a practice OF handing Out
change for 81 when a 81 bill appears
and then walt to be called for the other
