PROMISING CAREERS
FOR MEN AND WOMEN
BERNARD LovEMAN FA.
voRs SALEsMANsHIP.
Places This Accomplishment
Above Other Vacations
for Women.

Craftsmanship is one of the most
promising careers for men or
women" declared Bernard Lcveman,
Most girls go in for stenography
nowadays" he said. "As a matter OF
fact, craftsmanship outranks stenog-
raphy as a vocation for women.
There are today more high salaried
saleswomen than stenographers. The
Qualities which make a successful
saleswoman are those which contrib
ute to success in the business or pro-
fessional world. The department
stores in the larger cities offer
courses in craftsmanship, which have
as their object the raising of the
standard of efficiency among their
employees. Many schools have courses
in craftsmanship in their curricula,
and believe the time is not far dis
tant when craftsmanship will be
taught in our colleges and universe
ties. just as academic and profess
sional subjects are now taught.
"In the old days a man became a
lawyer by reading Blackstone in
some older lawyers library. Now
adays he learns the principles of the
law in college and puts these prin-
ciples into practice after he leaves
law school. We would not expect to
make a doctor without giving him
instruction in the principles of his
profession, so why expect to produce
an efficient salesman or saleswoman
without education in the principles
of his profession?
Craftsmanship requires knowledge
of psychology and other sciences OF
human relations. The girl behind
the counter must know how to take
the measure of the prospective GUS
toner. Personality counts in any
business, but it is paramount in the
business of buying and selling. The
girl who knows how to say the right
thing at the right time is uncon-
sciously using principles which are
the basis of good craftsmanship"

INCREASED TAX
RATE FOR CITY
Award Of 20 Per Cent. Of
Revenue to Schools Re-
SponsibIe.
s145,o0o TO BE, MADE UP
Reduction of Hours for Fire
men Will Necessitate In
creased Salary Budget.

One Of the biggest problems the
new board will soon have to meet Is
that of making up the departmental
budget for the coming fiscal year.
Already some of the com fiissioners
are giving this matter their serious
attention, and they state that the
new school law which gives to the
city schools 20 per cent. of all reve-
nue., makes the problem more acute,
so much so, 1t is stated, that the tax
rate swill have to be materially in
creased to meet the additional in
crease in all other departments
which will be asked for.
The present school budget and on
which the schools operated for the
fiscal year ending next October 81,
was 100000. Taking the estimated
revenue this year. which was con-
siderably over 100000, as basis
for next year. the. schools will re-
ceive sopething like $4,000, which
is about 20 per cent. of the revenue.
ceived from the state and county for
school purposes, which will probably
reach somewhere around $4,000.
According to information received at
the city hall, the commission will have
to make up the $145.000 which was
taken out of the gross revenue and
given to the schools and this. It is
said, will necessitate a raise in the tax
rate of 40 cents. Provision will also
the interest budget by reason of is
suing the $6s4,0O0 in bonds recently
sold.
1t is understood that an arrange
ment will be made to reduce the hours
the firemen have to work, and II this
Is done this will carry an increase in
the fire budget of at least SIS, 900. Ac-
cording to terms Of the new school law.
the schools will be benefited by this
amount $4,000, as the $4,000 must be
realized in some way and will be called
revenue.
The streets and sewers department
Is at present operating under 1914
budget and with the increase in the
cost of labor and materials this de-
an increase IL the streets are to be
maintained in good order and not be
allowed to become in bad shape. Again
it is pointed out that. under the school
law. the educational department will be
benefited by getting 20 per cent of the
amount allowed the street department.
Commissioner E. d. Bass. in discuss
ing the matter Wednesday, stated that
in going over the different items it
seems that the tax rate cannot be kept
under $40 and 1t may reach $3.50. If
the city rate is $40, he said, and the
state and county rate at $40, this will
make the total tax rate in both city
and county $3.50.
Prospects look good for a substantial
increase in the salaries for teachers in
the city schools. The school depart
ment will have approximately $780,
900 for school purposes next year, or
about double the amount this year.

MUST WORK AT TRADE
TO Be LABOR DELEGATE
CENTRAL LABOR BODY IN
IMPORTANT ACTION.
Numerous Officials and City
and County Employees
Affected. 4

A movement has been launched
which, If successful, will make the
Chattanooga Trades and Labor coun-
Gil strictly a labor orgaNzation and
a union man not actively working at
his trade will not be eligible to MEM
bership.
A number of men prominent in the
business and political life of the city
are delegates to the council and re-
strictions on the membership would
force them to withdraw.
1t is pointed out that these men
and other prominent citizens were at
one time following some trade and
carried union cards. Since taking up
other lines of business they have
kept up their cards largely from a
standpoint of loyalty to and friend
ship for the union.
For instance, Judge Martin Flem-
ing holds a card in the plumbers
union and is delegate to the coHn-
ell. Under the new order of things
he will be called on to forsake his
iudgeship and law practice and re-
turn to his trade or else withdraw
as a delegate. N. P. Bush has cards
of membership in the organizations
of trainmen and timers. Sheriff r.
p. Bass is affiliated with the paint
ers' union. Phil Shugart, superin-
tendent of parks, was formerly a
machinist and is a delegate to the
council ]. T. Cotter. the present
plumbing inspector, is member of
the, plumbers union and a delegate.
A. l., Emerson, wellknown attorney,
is affiliated with the woodworkers.
He, too is a delegate. Then there
10 John Tinker but he works at his
trade as a printer great deal of
the time. Senator F. T. Carter, an
other prominent member of the coun-
Gil, also works at the printers trade.
Sam I. Whitman, another delegate,
holds card in the stonecutter's
union. Atty. Gen. George w. Cham
lee is affiliated with the carpenters
union. Neil Crowley is an employ
ing printer of journeyman, which
would make him ineligible for men,

of the county hospital, Is another
holder Of a union card who would
be affected

QUESTION OF POWER
OF MAYOR TO NOMINATE
CITY ATTORNEY TALKS ON
SUBJECT.
Auditor Logically Under the
Mayor. He Saws.

The question is being raised In
some quarters as to the mayors
power to nominate city auditor and
city treasurer Some who have
studied the charter contend that
Mayor Chambliss alone has the
power to make nominations for these
Offices, and that the power of the
other commissioners is limited to the
confirmation or rejection of the
mayors nominations. This is under
stood to be the position taken by
Mayor Chambliss, after careful
study OF the charter, although that
statute does not mention these Officer
specifically. or in so many words set
out the right of the mayor to make
the nominations.
The offices OF city engineer, auditor
and treasurer are the only ores con-
corning which there is not a specific
provision In the charter. City Attor-
ney Frank Garden was asked regard
ing the matter and stated that In his
opinion the offices of auditor and
treasurer would logically fall under
the mayors department of finance,
since all unassigned appointments
usually came from there. But he
said that the city charter did not
specifically place on the mayor the
| responsibility for making the nomt-
nations. but was of the opinion that
any member could do so. though he
said 1t had been the custom that
these nominations come from the
mayor. Members of the board. 1t Is
understood. look for Mayor Cham
bliss to make the nominations.
Under the original city charter the
Office OF city court clerk came as an
D
department, but this part of the
charter was amended in 1917 and
makes the city court clerk appointed
| by the city Judge.

ANNEXATION AND LIQUOR
GENERALLY DISCUSSED
NEW BOARD CoNFERS BE-
FORE REGULAR SESSION.
Special Steps to Rid City of
Bootleggers Contemplated
by Heron.

At a conference Of the new board
Tuesday afternoon before the regular
session at 8 o'clock, the general sub
ject for discussion was annexation. 1t
is understood no definite program
was reached, but Mayor Chambliss
brought the matter up. Kidding the
city of "bootleggers" was also dis
cussed, but on this question also
nothing definite was agreed upon.
All these matters are in direct
keeping with the inaugural address
of Mayor Chambliss, who stressed
the importance of annexation and
making the city clean and healthy for
the soldiers at Fort Oglethorpe. 1t is
understood the board is unanimous in
its agreement to do whatever possible
for annexation and no serious fight"
on the project is expected from any
of the commissioners.
When Commissioner Ed Heron. of
the department of police, returns to
the city he will announce some steps
to be taken by his department in rid
ding the citv of bootleggers.

What Will be Done?
II 1t was thought by the officials at
the time this action was taken that
the most"that could be done was to
get the Germans out of the country
and have them repatriated into Ger
Fmany without any trouble. Now the
question Is up, what will be done
with those who didn't care to go?
What will Uncle Sam do with them?
will they be forced to return to Ger
many regardless of their wishes. or
will they be allowed to remain In
America?
Just why did these enemy aliens
care to stay In the United States is
Z the question that is naturally asked.
The answer Is that in most cases
they have business interests in this
country and have families. here, and
for these reasons want to remain.
However, this is a question that the
officials in Washington will decide.
% A dispatch from Chicago received
this morning. states that the gates
of Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, will swing
outward today to release more than
200 enemy aliens from Chicago, who
were interned for the duration Of the
war, and that the notice Of their re-
lease has been received in Chicago
by the United States marshars Of

Col. Penrose refused to confirm any
such report. Col. Penrose' and Mr..
Finlay stated they, had received no
orders from the war department. to
release any prisoners within the next
week or two. They stated that II
such an order had been issued they
believed they would have been in
formed.

BANKER COOPER

Interest in the probe being con-
Quoted by the United States banking
committee, in which John Shelton
Williams, controller of currency,
charges Wade H. Cooper. a Wash
ington banker, with circulating "un-
true, false and damaging statements
against him and his office" is in
tensified here because Cooper is a
former Tennessean. His full name
is Wade Hampton Cooper, and he is
a brother of Noah Webster Cooper,
lawyer Of Nashville. The banker,
like his brother. began his career as
banker in Nashville some years ago.
He is native of South Carolina,
and another of his brothers who re-
NAMED in the native staate became
prominent in the mercantile line,
having at one time been president of
the Wholesale Grocers association of
South Carolina.
Speculative Turn.
Wade Hampton followed his
brother Noah Webster to Nashville,
graduated in law and began the prac-
tice when quite young man. but the
commercial intuition cropped out and
he soon began to speculate in real

securities. He was rather successful
IN small way in this line and finally
decided to abandon the law for the
more profitable line of industry.

He then closed out most Of his
interests in Nashville and went TO
Washington. For few years he was
lost sight Of In the nations busy

lost sight of him, but he did not lose
sight of himself, and the next heard
of him was as head of a fiourishing

FRIERSON'S CHANCES
FOR U. S. BENCH GOOD
T. POPE SHEPHERD URGES
LOCAL LETTERS.
Declares kilograms in Behalf
of Former Chattanooga
Would Help.

The chances for the appointment
Of Hon. w. l.. Frierson. first assist
ant attorney general of the United
states, to the United States circuit
court of appeals bench are most en-
couraging, according to T. Pope
Shepherd, who is looking after Gen.
Frierson's interests in this county.
Mr.. Shepherd is in receipt of A
telegram Wednesday morning from
Mr.. Frierson stating that any tele-
grams or letters written In his behalf
would not only be appreciated by
him. but would be of great value to
him in securing the appointment. Mr..
Shepherd stated that Gen. Frierson
would, OF course, be backed by the
entire Chattanooga bar, he having al
ready secured the Endorsements OF
those he had seen. Gen. Frierson, II
appointed, will succeed to the place
left vacant by Judge Waring. who,
it Is understood, is about to retire.
Il is stated by leading Chatta-
nooga lawyers that the appointment
should not only go to Gen. Frierson
on his ability as a lawyer, but that
the place should go to a Tennessee
democrat as there are at present nc
democrats on the United states
bench and have not been since the
time Of Judge Horace Lurton. Also
lawyers state that the district judge
ship In Tennessee is occupied by a
republican, there having been nc
democrat on this bench since the re-
gime of Judge C. d. Clark.
Fortunately. the appointment OF a
United States circuit judge is free
from the influence of United States
senators, and II Gen. Frierson gets
the position he will not have to seek
the Endorsement of either Senator
John X. Shields or Senator Kenneth
ID. Mcclellan. The appointment OF
circuit judges comes through the de-
partment of justice, and as Gen
Frierson's ability in this department
is known, 1t Is thought his chances
ara made much the better.
