THE FIFTY VARIETH.

Henry John Heinz, long known as
the purveyor Of the 81 varieties OF
apDetizing additions to the food OF
the world, has gone whore trade
marks have no value and advertising
campaigns are of no avail.
The story of Mr.. Heinz's rise is one
to conjure with. He began selling
horse-radish to a few of his neigh
bors. At his death the whole round
world had been circled with his
sauces and condiments. Industry.
perseverance and firm belief in ad-
Tertising were factors in his success
He serves as one of the fascinating
models to American youth of what a
man can become who uses his powers
for service to the community, who
sticks fast to his purpose and never
lies down on the job.
But there is another factor which
too few people know about. II. j.
Heinz was always a sticklcr for the
purity of his products. When pr.
Harvey Wiley, then in the government
service, was going after the nlanuiac-
turers and Gamers who were using
harmful, preservatives in their pro-
ducts, and when those gentlemen
were loudly howling that they could
not make catsup or keep this or that
or the other without the use Of ben
zoate of soda, and when the contro-
versy was raging as to just how much
benzoate Of soda the human system
could encompass without damage. II.
J. Heinz was not among those pres
ent
Instead of fighting for the risht to
use ingredients bad for peoples IN
sides, and good only for the insides OF
producers pocketbooks, Mr.. Heinz
came out with enormous ads stating
that he had never found 1t necessary
/ to use benzoate of soda in his pro-
ducts at all! His advertisement re-
marked calmly that when pure and

THE HosIE-MAKER's GUILD.

New light is shed on the servant
problem by the Home-maker's Guild
OF New York.
The patroness joins the guild for
so much "a year, which is simply her
membership fee. When she is in
need Of any kind of house service,
from "a window washer to lady's
maid. a cook to an expert nurse for
her children, she telephones the head
of the guild, explains her needs. and
a capable person is sent her.
The organization differs from the
ordinary employment agency in that
the maid is also member of the
guild, her fee being one dollar year,
and to the. guild she goes for her
pay The employer has no money
dealings with the servant, but sends
check to the manager the guild.
This of course, helps to stabilize
wages, and is good thing.
The whole concern is run on bus
sress-like basis. and the woman who
has asked for a maid for a certain SER
vice cannot keep her after the time
stipulated and get an extra hours
work out OF. her. When the maids
frne is up she leaves, unless the en-
p.cyer telephones and explains the me-
cessity for OBTAINING her. If the maid
Is not scheduled for another job she
naay stay, but of course this means an
addition on the bill.
The scheme is working satiseac-
torils. and complaints are few from
either side.

Misery in Moscow
People Live in Terror of the
Rolshevik Red Guard

E,aku, March II, via London, April
25 Correspondence Of The sAssociat-
led Press)--Glimpses into the fantas-
tic life in Moscow under Bolshevik
rule, are given by an Armenian engi-
neer who has arrived here from the
capital Of Soviet Russia. He says the
people Of the city live in terror Of
the Bolshevik Red Guard and that
the former bourgeoisie have very few
privileges. To be well dressed is a
crime. The hated upper classes must
masquerade as poorer folk whenever
they go into the streets. Good clothes
or furs bring down upon them the cry
of bourgeois One word of protest
or of submission to the ruling
powers is quite sufficient to evoke the
danlning word, ''counter-revolution

times death. The jails already are
full of counter-revolutiona and the
Armenian says almost daily from 80
to 80 men nd women are shot.
The Strasori monastery is now a
peoples law court where the
bourgeoisie are tried and condemned
for Grimes of opposition or alleged
opposition to Bolshevik rule.
The churches, lie says, are safe but
their valuables have been removed.

prisoned because, after the death Of

they prayed in secret for the dead.
Some Of the theatres are still open.
The great imperial theatre is used for
Bolshevik meetings but ii the even

A AiOBERN FAIRY TALE.

!; Folklore is full Of tales like that OF
Vinsen Walsh Mclean, heir to a
great fortune, with tutors, servants
and detectives always watching to
see that he came to no harm. The
lad ran out Of bounds in play and was
killed by a passing automobile, when
a child accustomed to crossing city
streets could probably have saved
himself
There was the prince whose horos-
cope said he would be killed by his
best friend. His father determined
that he should have no friends. Mis-
erable, lonely, surrounded by wealth
and luxury and lacking all things
worth while, at the end, drunk with
hashish, he pulled over a lamp and
was burned to death. His lower self
was his only eonrade.
1fore beautiful and hopeful is the
story Of Gautama Buddha, also a
price. He grew up knowing moth
ing of life save joy and beauty. When
he went through the town every beg
gar, every cripple, was made to hide
by heralds who preceded him. Once,
by accident, he met poverty-stricK-
en- invalid by the roadside. This sud-
der. vivid glimpse of human sorrow
so affected him that ne renounced
home and wealth and gave his life to
the succor of humanity.
The Arabs say: ga mans fate
hangeth about his neck and he can
not escape it, And even occidentals
sec again and again that in vain man
pts his wits against that force which
some call Fate, and some call Karma,
and some call Eternal Justice.
But the hope lies in this-that
Fete, like all the forces Of the uni
verse, is either friendly or hostile ac-
cofding as one faces it.
Suppose the father Of the prince
whose friend was to be nis danger had
reasoned like this: Friendship and
hcman kindness are more important
than the moment of death. Let him
have all the friends he will, and
serve them well, and if at the end one
accidentally kills him, at least he will
have led happy, useful life up to the
era
Suppose the parents of the little
heir to millions had said: This boy
will have grave responsibilities. Let
him learn to exercise all his powers,
to face and conquer all the dangers
common TO all children of his age
Perhaps Fate would have taken him
anyhow. But at least his parents
could have felt that he had an even
chance

Labor Not Industrial Machine

President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university, speaking to the Chamber of Commerce at Utica, N. r., on "The Foundations of Prosperity" said they are public security, public order and public satisfac ction.
 ''The time is now ripe,'' he proceed ed, ito take up the industrial problem as part of the great human problem. So long as the industrial problem is conceived of in terms of profit alone, without regard to the effect of indus trial processes and conditions upon human beings, just so long will it re- main unsOlved.
 "When the industrial problem is approached from the human point of view one sees that its essential char acteristic is the cooperation of human beings in the production of objects of value. Those who cooperate, whether with their savings or their brains, or with the work of their hands, are hu- man beings and not machines or parts of machine."s

Will Women Hold Jobs?

The figures on unemployment in Great Britain show that the unemploy- ment among men is increasing more rapidly than among women, which in- dicates that women are not being dis charged from the positions they have held as rapidly as men are being dis charged from the army. By an ex- animation of the conditions in the trades in which women have worked it is plain that women are being dis missed wholesale only from those trades where they have been getting the same pay as men-for example, tramway and bus conductorettes in London and Newcastle-on-Tyne, rail- way workers, and the women in the boot and shoe trade. The women work ing for less pay than the men they re- placed -'bootlegging" as the English call it-are being retained, The tables are turned upon the men who advo- cated low wages for women-and who now are being kept out of work by the women who have undercut them. -The Suffragist.

Women's Wages Rise in Louisiana.

During the last five years the work ing women's wage in the state of Louisiana has advanced 80 per cent, says a report compiled by the New Orleans and Louisiana Industrial sur vey. This increase is based on the 'median" wage, which is the wage at which one-haf of the employees re- ceive more and the other half less. The median wage has advanced from $5 to $9 a week in the period under consideration. The investigators found that the average wage being paid wo- men workers outside of New Orleans was larger than in the city itself, and adds: "Whatever the explanation, it is significant that employers in the smaller communities of the state are finding it possible to pay wages in ex- cess of those paid in the larger cities"
