BEWARE, YOUNG MEN.

If you don't want women to out
strip you in the industrial race and
compel you to come to them when
you want fifty cents, you would bet
ter stop drinking poor whiskey and
quit gambling at race tracks. Women,
in spite of mans refusal to give them
the rights and privileges to which they
are entitled, are today in 145 branches
Of business and instances showing
more ability than the men. In one of
the greatest financial Institutions in
the country, not long ago, a well
known man, drawing a salary Of
$4,000 year, suffered nervous col
lapse. The directors selected a young
woman who for ten years had been
the stenographer. She, the directors
told us, has done better work than
the man she succeeded and is doing
it for but $4,000 year. In fifty years
these women will know more than
the men, They have more time to
read and study and they are improy-
ing their time. Eventually all the
universities will be co-educatonal and
the women will carry off all the prizes.

BE A MAN.

! Foolish spending is the father o
poverty Do not be ashamed Of hare
work Work for the best salaries anC
wages you can get, but work for hal
price rather than be idle. Be your
own master, and do not let society OIL
fashion swallow up your individual
ity-hat. coat and boots. Do not cal
up or wear out all you earn. Compel
your selfish body to spare something
for profits sake. Be stingy to your
own appetite, but merciful to others
necessities. Help others, and ask no
help for yourself. See that you are
proud Let your pride be of the
right kind. Be too proud to wear a
coat you cannot buy; too proud to be
in company that you cannot keep up
with in expenses; too proud to lie or
steal, or cheat; too proud to be stingy;
in short. be man of integrity and in
.dividuality.
1t would astonish many of us some
times if we could know what our
neighbors think of us. Every man has
some kind of standing in the com
munity where he lives, and he is sized
up great deal closer than he has
any idea of. You may set it down as
a fact that there isn't twelve-year-
cid boy in the neighborhood who
hasn't his opinion of you, and he
wouldn't be slow about expressing it
either, if a stranger should ask him
for it. Every man is always making
character, whether he is doing any
thing else or not.
1t is we'll to be charitable in our
oonclusiond mindful that we often
need the cloak of charity ourselves.
Fill life with sunshine, and strew
flowers where others throw stones.
Make life bright spot in this world
and where you see flowers cast
smiles, and whether it be morn, dusk
or night, let the sunny side of nature
always be at full meridian.
Good manners are not taught in the
school BOOKS. They are found in the
home lessons. !
Patience is a flower that does not |
grow in every garden.

Deeds, Not Words

High Point People Have Absolute
Proof Of Deeds at Home.
It's not words but deeds that prove
true merit. .-
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
for High Point kidney sufferers, have
made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of
High Point people.
Mrs A. G. Burchfield, PA Gable St.,
says: II suffered considerably with
severe pains in the small of my back
and my kidneys annoyed me by acting
irregularly. 1 felt tired and languid
all the time, too. Doan's Kidney
Pills were recommended to me so 1
started taking them. They certainly
helped me wonderfully, removing tn
pain from my back and regulating my
kidneys. Doan's entirely cured me,
and l can't recommend them highly
enough"

A genuine mother could no more
raise bad boy into bad man than
a robin could raise a hawk. When we
say genuine mother we mean
something more than a mother who
prays with her boy and sends thin
to Sunday School All these things
are good, and indispensable as far as
they go, but there is a lot more to
do to train a boy besides praying with
him, just as there are things neces-
sary to the cultivation of a garden be-
sides reading manual. To succeed
with roses one must prune, weed and
bee a great deal: To make boy into
a pure man, a mother must do more
than pray She must live with him in
the sense of comrade and closest
friend, She must stand by him in
time of temptation as the pilot sticks
to the wheel when rapids are around

No longer will it be necessary fol
anyone to obtain practical plans for
dwelling from an architect. The De
partment of Labor in Washington viii
supply them The original idea OF this
department was to supply plans and
estimates for houses that soldiers de-
sired to build, making no charge Tor
them. but so we'll has the plan worked
that Secretary Wilson has issued or
ders to distribute the drawings to
civilians through chambers OF COM
merce, civic organizations, WOmen's
clubs and the like, also requesting that
campaigns be started locally in all
sections so as to help along the great
need for homes. It is estimated that
because of the warxsome two million
homes failed of construction in the
United States during the past year.
The action of the Department of Labor
will not only benefit the discharged
service men by affording the opportun-
ity to avail themselves of the plans
and estimates for home building. but
will assist the public in general to
hurry construction On much-needed
buildings, to say nothing of the saw
ing that will be made in money.

Just now there is altogether too
much solicitude on the part Of parents
as to what they will do with their
boys, which leaves the impression on
the minds of the young gentlemen of
the period that something has got to
be done for them, instead of encourag-
ing the more manly thought that they
must do for themselves. There is no
reason to suppose that the channels to
competence and w na'th are fewer and
more difficult than they were years
ago.

HEIGHTS TO SEE BIG
LOT BUYING BOOM
Investors Will Look for Bargains in
Vacant Land as Apartment
House Prices Climb

One of the outstanding features OF the
recent activity in real estate trading has
been the extreme interest displayed by
the professional operators In Washing
ton Heights apartment house properties,
especially in the district north of 18TH
street. where Fort Washington avenue
and upper Riverside Drive have their
beginning.
In the Audubon Park district the Bury
ing movement has absorbed large
number OF unimportant holdings situated
along Haven. Pinehurst. Fort Washing
ton and Northern avenues, Broadway.
St Nicholas. wadsworth and Audubon
avenues. The side streets. principally
those located Immediately south OF 1S1st
street in the section lying between
Broadway and Riverside Drive, also have
contributed number OF purchases and
quick turns on speculative contracts.
Much OF the trading reported since
the new year Is attributable to the ex-
treme marking down of prices during
the period of the war, when many per-
sons found themselves in the position OF
having 10 sacrifice anything for ready
were thrown overheard and real estate
went the way OF many other commodi-
ties On the other hand the war was
TO few persons a period OF great OPP
portunity which also intensified the de-
mand for ready cash.
Despite the rapid reduction of prices
speculative interest suddenly began to
follow the lead Of Frederick Brown and
a Few other operators in swapping up
apartment house properties that were to
be purchased for about FIVE to six times
their sross rental value.
AS the buying movement increased IN
strength and transactions grew in VOL
ume. and as the ranks of the operators
we're augmented daily by the presence
of new buyers, the basis on which sales
were made gradually crept up from five
and six to one to six and seven to one.
To-day, according to recent reports, the
ratio has advanced to about seven and
eight TO one and buying continues sc-
tive.
An advance OF two more points and
apartment house rents once again will
be capitalized as OF old on the basis OF
the gross rentals OF to-day multiplied
by ten. This is a reasonable conclu-
sion, inasmuch as It has been an
nounced recently that apartment rentals
throughout the city are to be further
increased next October
Just how much longer this lacking
up" process can be continued remains to
be seen. There is no room for doubt,
however. that the autumn rent raising
programme of the owners and agents
will be carried out as per schedule.
Apartment house properties then will be
even more desirable investments than
they are to-day and more sought after
by investors
Meanwhile. with rentals constantly be-
Ing raised and recapitalized the vacant
lot is drawing closer and closer to the
point where it will soon be a good "buy'
