the, correct method OF computing tie per-
cepsse Sa R5Gh gn sriss cost
sells for si;S6., is the percentage Of profit
he on aree ise cost cost 81 aha s9 Is sod 81
is Is me percentage PEI OF profit 81 1-s per cent
I've heard more argument at trade
conventions over this matter than any
othcr-nnd yet it's very simple.
AS sales represent cash, and as it is
cash with which we pay expenses and
merchandise bills, all percentages should
be based on sales price.
Therefore, if an article cost 81 andi
sells for $1.50, our mark up is 80 perl
cent, but our gross profit is SO 1 -3 perl
cent.
You always figure your expense per
centage from sales. For instance, IL you
say your expenses are 25 per cent, you
mean that for every dollars worth Of
goods you sell you pay out twenty Eve
cents for expenses.
Many business men have gone to tlfb
wall because they figure profit on cost
and expenses on sales. If we add 80 l. 3
per cent on cost and expenses are %
per cent of sales we do not make 8 1-3
per cent net profit, but break even, for
33 1-3 per cent added to cost is only
% per cent on sales.
| suppose you know how TO figure
mark up, so as to secure the correct
profit on sales.
I've answered this fully, and if in too
elementary manner forgive me, for I
do it so as to make my msa ming as clear
as possible.

'Let me go. I'll not be your bride, "
protested Peggy.
'One last dance-then away to my
harem," grunted Red Beard. Around
and around he whirled Peggy until she
was dizzy. But as she whirled she
saw Billy Belgium come from behind II
pillar where he had been hiding. In
his hands he had piece of board.
He swung this like a baseball bat, and
as Red Beard, in his elephant disguise,
whirled his back around, wham. Billy
whacked him with all his strength.
"Wow. A bomb yelled Red Beard,
letting Peggy go. Wham the board hit
him again. Wow" yelled Red Beard
second time, but now he saw Billy
with the board, and went at him in n
towering rage Billy dropped the board

THE MAGIC WHISTLE

Doggy was shocked to learn that the
L dancing elephant was Red Beard.
She had thought it queer that the beast
had come to Cinderella's ball, but until
she saw his fiery whiskers she had no
idea it was the Turk in disguise.
And here she was in his clutches.
Peggy wanted to shrek. but she quickly
thought that if she did so Red Beard
might seize her so tight she couldn t
escape, whereas if she waited until the
end of the dance he might think she
didn't recognize him and let her go.
Long before the dance ended, how
ever. Cinderella had spread the alarm
''The elephant is Red Beard in dis
guise," ran whisper through the ball :
room, and the other dancers slipped
away couple by couple. When the bird
orchestra sounded the last note of the
frolicsome dance Peggy glanced around
to find herself alone with the Turk
- "Ah, ha, they have discovered my
plot" grunted Red Beard. But I
have you, proud Princess Peggy, and
I shall not leave this ball without a
fair bride. Come. we will have our
wedding dance" Selling her again, he
whirled her into another mad dance,
the bird orchestra furnishing the jazziest
kind of jazz music. In his grip Peggy
felt helpless. She looked vainly for aid.
finding none. Cinderella's guests had
fed. Even Sleeping Beauty's prince
who had been so anxious to cut off
Red Boards head, had gone without
striking a blow.
"You shall be queen of my harem."
grunted Red Beard triumphantly. ~

Jimmie was too excited by the turn
of events to do much work that day and
it is doubtful if Helen or the new

Shortly before ; that afternoon, after
announcing to Helen his intention Of
taking her and Jimmie home in his auto,
Sergeant Jim told his father what he
