FIVE THOUSAND GOOD
JOBS FOR AMBITIOUS
YOUNG MEN AND GIRLS

There is need OF 5000 trained exc
cutives right now 20 meet the de-
mands OF the department stores Of
this country for such assistants, &C
cOrding 10 a close student OF store
affairs. This estimate is undoubtedly
low, and the demand is constantly
on the increase.
OF course observation Of its own
employees by any such institution.
TO detect promising material, fol-
lowed by training in It's own school
is the most practical way 10 meet the
emergency. But few merchants adOpe
il. clinging instead of the old, expen-
sive and narrowing method Of com
Letitive bidding for the few who
have already proved themselves
competent.
Against this practice, which is a
sure means for keeping the supply
short and the price high, the sugges-
ton is set that II would be a good
plan for merchants TO interest the
colleges OF this country in adding
training as store executives 10 the
other business courses which they
already conduct. IL is pointed out In
this connection that salaries for sucn
service are higher than those offered
by most businesses now commonly
recruited from among college stu
dents. The suggestion merits con-
sideration from a good many
angles.
In the meantime the youth hest
tating over what line of work shall
be taken up could do far worse than
10 investigate ways and means for
fitting himself for some of these exc
cutive positions offered by the many
department stores OF the country.

FOREIGN TRADE
European Loan
IesodoId

Export interest has conferred in
the proposal abroad to float a loan
secured by the German indemnity
and endorsed by the allied nations,
altogether without American par
ticipa ion, either as sponsor or pur-
chaser.
The progress Of defation in this
country will release funds sufficient
10 finance those exports of which
Europe stands most in need British
business men perceive the wisdom
Of adopting a liberal credit policy.
Nevertheless, American bankers viii
be glad of the relief from constant
demands implied in the new inter
national loan. Investors here can
use all their available capital TO adj
vantage IN the rehabilitation of the
railroads and the expansion OF
business.
Waning April exports seemingly
furnish an argument for a more
generous extension Of credit. but
the fact is European needs furnish
the only genuine argument at pres
emit The decline in April exports
must have been due in large part
to the congested condition of the
railroads and strikes which made
the port of New York well nigh i'm
passable.

GRAIN

Intervention Of the interstate COM
merCe commission and the prefer
ence given grains insure maximum
relief from the car shortage and
paralysis of the railroads within a
miniraum of time. Farmers have
shown themselves indispOsed To sell
freely at price levels attained during
the recent sharp break, and needs
are so great that fairly large re-
ceipts can be absorbed without dis
comfort or injury 20 prices Food

that suggest no rise 10 dizzy heights

WOOL

Cancellations of goods orders have
intensified the dullness hitherto pre-
vailing in the wool market. The
mills have long awaited the recent
break in fine woods. but are reluct-
ant to buy a [ the more advantageous
figures until they know better what
the future has in store. The con-
sensus OF opinion seems to be that
highest prices for raw wool are past.
The new clip may induce a period
OF stagnation, as present stocks are
over large. Buying in the west is
light and scattered. The rail tieup
has given serious trouble in connec-
ton with marketing the new clip,
but Improvement is expected.

crats get together. Whether the losers will

men remains to. be seen. usually the Demo-
Gratis accept the will Of q majority Of their own

Imagination this time to see william Jennings
Bryan out on the stump for ticket headed by

almost as hard to picture Governor Edwards

Bryan, visionary and impractical though he
may be, Is the big question mark OF the con-
yention. However lightly he may be regarded
by the party l>1lers he still has q personal
following that makes him q force to be reck-
oned with. Victory without Bryan's active sup
port is conceded to be virtually impossible, NO
matter what mistakes or discussions arise to
handicap the Republicans. Neither will an out
and out dry ticket have much chance in the
face of the sentiments of the eastern wing Of

Myrtle.
Myrtle Is both q floral name and
an appellative growing out Of an
cient Greek mythology. The fra
grant white-howering shrub which
adorns SO many trim gardens is the
modest product Of the evergreen
which bloomed on the Hellenic
hills and occupied place Of honor
in the gardens Of Olympus.
The ancients believed the myrtle
to be sacred to Venus, goddess of
love. and the superstition carried
over into the new-world nomencla-
ture, so that the fortunate posses
sor OF the name Myrtle Is thought
to possess the secret of love and
attraction. Certainly. If she wears

cording to the ancient belief.

accounts for its derivation. Myrtle
is more often regarded as floral
name by etymologists. Its greatest
vogue is undoubtedly in England.

great popularity here. unfortunate
