wisely taken, the depression is absolutely if the man is to be returned to a sober basis
 The financial depression of the seventies the beginning of soberng up process It painful period, in which broken habit which had been forming for ten years Naturally the country nerve-shaken and had splitting headache which might have been temporarily postponed by continuing the financial spree, but would have had to be faced sometime.
 It is very evident that when the volume of the purchasing increased the value of the unit must be correspondingly diminished that the dollars there in the country win the volume of things to be purchased left practically unchanged, the less the value of the dollar will be- and the higher the prices of commodities will be-
 So much of the higher cost of living as is oc- by the diminished of the dollar is legit innate and cannot be attacked The part of the cost of living aimed at be reduced, is the part that has been inflated by profiteers. We await the natural reduction of that part resulting from inflated money values
 If the profiteers are properly dealt with that will afford the country all the relief that reasonably expected just now The rest will come only when the country is restored to an financial keel
 MT. Harding properly recommends saving as a remedy. That is always good advice We should all ways save, but savings should be diverted to the profiteers

MORE PROFIT FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS

The small and individually owned business can and should be made more profitable
 There are many small businesses in and about these cities conducted by the best of citizens and renderine good service to their customers but tbev are not profitable and in many cases are being conducted actual loss.
 All this through the lack of just little courage and knowledge of very few simple principles Tn the matter of cost distribution and which could be brought out by the average bookkeeper of most any large business where these principles are matter Of common everyday knowledge.
 The profit from any business, large or small is after every element of doing business has been subtracted.
 The small store proprietor, for instance, who is merely getting living out of his business is not making any profit out of it.
 He should charge up his living as a salary, the same as if he working for someone else and as a part of the cost of doing business.
 The same is true of the wife daughter or son who may spend part of their time behind the count er-they should draw salary.
 The money invested in stock and fixtures should he charged up at the rate of six per cent part of the cost of doing business.
 Money invested in a business is entitled to wages the same as the people working for it.
 The depreciation of store fixtures equipment and store decorations should charged off at not less than 10 per cent year.
 The merchant for instance who does not do this is giving away his store equipment, part with each sale.
 These general principles of cost distribution and a few more are well known to the average large business.
 And there is large and profitable opportunity in these cities for a young woman familiar with the accounting of a large and we'll ordered business to establish a bookkeeping service that will serve many small businesses.
 This service should not be of efficiency expert business doctor expert accountant but rather to open simple set of books. post them or show someone connected with the business how to post them draw off the trial balances month and offer suggestions in the of cost distribution and economies.
 A simple set of books is not only the memory but the meter of business.
 It will not in itself stop leaks nor make additional profits but it will stimulate thought to this end and often point the way
 The young establishing book keeping bureau for small businesses would net only find it profitable himself. but to those ploying the service
 Such service would be of real social value in promoting general business good order and conse- quent community prosperity
 The reason Heinie rejected overtures in Septem- ber. 1917, was because he didn't know the doughboy would make overtures of another sort in the Ar gonne

His only safety is in stopping until the headlight has passe dhim, and stopping whenever another approaches him.

On the brilliantly lighted streets of the business district the danger is not So great for there the whole street is lighted and machines slowly but outside of radius of three blocks from Washington and Center and along those two streets for perhaps half mile, every driver machine night has death or disaster riding con stantly at his side.
 We believe there is an ordinance prohibiting the of the glaring light We know there was one. At that time small minded persons raised the cry that it adopted at the instance of the then city manager who interested in sale of motor car accessories
 Perhaps for that reason the ordinance was allowed to uSGSe put IL ndS never been repedled II should be rigidly enforced. should have been enforced then. Any salutary law is good one. what may have been the circumstance of it's enact ment

Drivers of machines with glaring headlights will quickly find that the expensive devices for avoiding the glare cheaper than paying fines.
 Then. too there are drivers of machines with no headlights at all perhaps only one, with no tail light.

just that. The poor only dream what they would like to do-more's the pity.
 But somehow it wasn't obvious to me that the rich always have ideas worth carrying out and I thought to myself, Somehow fate has extraordi- nary schemes for keeping mortals. rich or poor, dull or clever, on the same human average.
 I hadn't the least desire to startle the world with any of my own mo- tions, but I wanted to startle Hamil- ton Certeis nightly and I set about it at once.
 My big notion was to immure him in his own little hut. While he watch ed the gems in the U-boat, I would watch him.
 The Lorimers might buy the whole coast, with yachts and tugs for every pier along it., and they might hire a whole navy to run the craft. and no- body would be critical although every body would know
 But an ordinary beach resident, such as Certeis was pretending to be. could hardly put small engine in a row boat without drawing the attention of all his neighbors to his operations. An investigation, friendly or otherwise,

For once, it's simply the nov elist and the secretary-he has con- vineed me. Come on, dear, let's beat it. Wallis has gone to town to see his publisher who seems to be his Only Love. I'll be hanging around waiting for you.

 planned to talk to Daddy the morn 1 ing after I had seen the successful fitting" of Mary's diving suit. It turned out to be that awful morning when the town and the nation were shocked by the revelation of another frightful bombing plot
 Daddy Lorimer read excerpts from i the leaflets which the bomb b-throwers had sowed near the scene of the ex plosions in various cities. I recognized it as almost the identi- cal stuff which Hamilton Certeis had held in his hand at the time Tommy had stunned in the printing room Of his own sub-cellari
 My mind flew to Certeis who was, at the time of the bombing outrage, securely hidden in his shack on the | beach.
 To the world he was a famous sur geon; to his friends. he posed as a secret service agent; 10 Tommy and to me, he was a genuine specimen of the genius Bolshevik. I had more than one reason for wanting to be his next door neighbor To me the bombing plot explained why Certeis was hiding in disguise so close to New York; it told why his cure fin hospital' had been so slow | Might his not be the great unknown master mind" in the red horror?
