the neibhboring streets and hundreds were caught and removed to the Mon santo fort and other prisons. There nave been various other small
 fires in public buildings for the past
 two days. one at the naval arsenal
 and certain persons have been arrest
 ed with firing material in their pos
 session. This has made the govern
 ment very alert. Bolshevik propa-
 ganda has been widely spread in the
 working classes and some of the ar
 rested men turned out to be Russian Bolsheviki.
 The Minister of Labor has resigned
 owing to divergence of opinion with his colleagues as to the measures that have been taken to quell the agitation among the workers.
 The strikes have paralyzed business.
 No electric cars have been running since May l and all the municipal worl1men are on strike, so that street cleaning, burying the dead, and all other municipal work is being done by soldiers and volunteers. It is said that a general strike Is being planned, but public opinion is so incensed at the fires that a reaction appears to be getting in, and several societies and associations have made public protests against such extremist acts.

The big city stores have very high expenses. They pay low prices to a great deal of their help to offset their costs. They have large numbers of fiuffy-haired and empty-headed little upstarts who offer adulation to peo- pie whose appearance indicates wealth and who maintain an indfffer- ent air toward others. Similarly the mail order houses hire a great many young people who have had made quate business training, and whose mind is on their pleasures rather than on making a serious effort to render service.
 Here where the clerks are our own young people, intimately associated with the life of the town, earnestly desirous to win the favor of all types of people, conditions are very differ ent.
 The clerks are carefully train cd that they must give Just as good at tention to the woman who is wear ing last years gown or to the one who has a shabby dress of unknown age, as to a wealthy patron. They find a pleasure in helping people of struggling circumstances to solve their problems.

As the soldier picked up one, inspected IT ninutely, wiping the edge of 1t with his coat sleeve before putting 1t to his mouth, there, staring at him. as if in letters of fire were the printed words: Made in Germany.
 T thought Made in Germany was pas bon in France" he said to the storekeeper.
 ''Zat is so,'' interrupted the French man suaveIy, but we buy gem before ze war"
 The doughboy threw the har- monica on the counter and sauntcrod out 2"
 That is the right spirit" said the correspondent,'' one should not trade with the enemy before peace is signed"
 ''Right spirit nothing, replied tho doughboy, this bird wanted four dol- lars for th.s harmonica which he ad- rnits he bought before the war. They were worth fifty cents then"

METROPOLITAN sALEsMANsH1p

A lady who returned the other day from a visit to a large city where she did some shopping, was giving her impressions of the kind of service she got in the stores of the big town. She spoke particularly of one place where she felt she had very poor attention. She believed the reason to be that she was not dressed stylishly enough
 She had on a shirt waist and skirt of refined appearance and excellent quality. But as she failed to present herself in the latest type gown, the clerks as she believed were discour- teous and iDattentive.
 The store referred to was not one supposed to be exec ptionally expens- i've or ar:stocratic. But the clerks seemed to have acquired the big city taint of judging everyone by their clothes

Paris. June 0.---AclInow1edgment or
 the service rendered to the soldiers by
 the Knights of Columbus has been
 sent by General Pershing to the head quarters of the organization here.
 Writing to the Overseas Commission CTS Lawrence O. Murray and Edward
 L.. Hearn, General Pershtng stated:
 "I wish to express through you to
 the Knights of Columbus my appre iciation and that of the officers and men under my command for the val uable services rendered by your or ganization to the American Expedf- tionary Force.
 'The active work of your organiza- ton in France began early in 191S was well under way by the spring of that year, and has been increasing in scope ever since. Before the cessa- ton of hostilities it's workers were attached to many of the combat di- visions and recreation huts had been
 opened in the principal American con-
 centration centres. Numerous com manding officers have commended the devotion to duty of your personnel, and have testified to their popularity and helpfulness among the troops whom they served.
 During the armistice, 1t has been particularly active in the promotion of athletics, a most valuable factor for health and contentment. It has also contributed to the success of the army entertainment program by gen. eroUs appropriations for musical in | struments and equipment of soldier shows; has increased the general rec [ reational activities, helping materially
 to maintain the morale of the army 1 during the inevitable period of wait ing to go home"
