Too Big For Job
Peggy was found to be too big
even for her fifty-dollar q week posi-
ton. She had made her department
the best one Of its kind in the city
and by far the most popular depart
ment In Blacks store. but she was
not satisfied.
The woman's gown department in
Blacks was almost a failure. Peggy
asked for chance to make 1t go, and
Of course It was given her, although
Mr.. Black frankly said he thought
her taste was too Juvenile for the
women's gowns. Peggy nevertheless
took over the department in due time.
She worked over 1t and studied 1t and
cared for It as though it were q ne
elected wait. Soon it showed signs OF
life and finally 1t developed into as
profitable department as her misses
frocks. She had added another
achievement to her long list.
To crown this success she was
given one hundred dollars a week and
was allowed to mercha ndise herself
which means there Is no man higher
up" when 1t comes to the women q
and misses dress department in
Blacks. Today Peggy is twenty-eight
years old, earning one hundred dol
lars a week, mana ging two depart
ments, and even designing many OF

Her family and her friends also
were now fully aware of tho fore
sight she had shown when she gave
up stenogRphy. There was not one
girl from her class In business school
who was earning more than thirty
dollars week at stenography.
Was Best In Company
Peggy was by far the best bust
ness woman in the Black Company
and 1t was really amusing to see the
salesmen from the large New York
houses who asked for the buyer of
the dresses when Peggy Callahan. a
pretty black-haired young woman OF
twenty-six. put in her appearance.
Sometimes the men would not be.

sophisticated looking young girl was

more than twenty minutes. however
to discover that she was not only the
buyer but she was ono OF the keenest
buyers in the business
And usually at the end OF ten min
utes they extended an invitation to
dinner or theatre. Peggy never &C
cepted. She made a rule for herself
at the beginning Of her career that
she would not put herself under obll
cation to any salesman and she never
has. 1t Is common knowledge about
the store that Miss Callahan refuses

her aunt aboard with an affectionate

Was her aunts face paler and
thinner than usual, or did she Just

Rev. George l.. LoCkhart, pas VI or tho

an advocate OF tho engineering project
submitted by Engineer w. NJ. Jacobus.
DR.. Lockhart and Mr.. Jacobus met on

Toying an excursion ride. and with the

cobus pointed cut TO the pastor how his
plan could BE- worked out. He cited

ing how big industries had been halted
by high water. and predicted that
cloudbLrst along Wheeling creek would
work great damage and loss Of life. be-
cause Of increasing cncroaChmcnts.
We must have a broad vision to cx-
pand and bcautify city surrounded as
Wheeling is by steep hills and river and
divided by a wild. irregular and unsan-
ftary Wheeling creek" said DR.. Lock-
hart.
"A conscrvarcy law such as is adro-
Gated by Mr.. Jacobus seems 10 me the
foundation from which all projects can
be studier and co-ordinated on q COM
prchcnsivc scale.
From my observation" Mr.. Lockhart
adds. 1.-The cities that arc really expand

gal questions were involved. which re-

| Il heartily agree with Mr.. Jacobus
that after 4 thorough Investigation by
