will prove sufficient if she is a high
school graduate. A general educa-
ton with an accurate knowledge of
spelling, typewriting, and penman-
ship is necessary.
The girl who passes the mental
and physical tests required must
have ability to concentrate, pa
tient disposition, strong nerves, and
excellent hearing. Young girls have
an advantage because their ears can
be more easily trained
For number of years now, girls
have been finding opportunities in
this line of work. Promotions are
usually won by accuracy, rapidity
and general reliability. Many girls
lose their positions through careless
capitalization or spelling. The pay
and hours are much better than
those of the telephone operator.
One of the most coveted posi-
tions for a girl is operator of the
private wire of stock company or
commercial house. A girl who wants
to study up telegraphy herself can
find plenty of books on the subject
in the library of her home town or
can procure the names of such
books by writing to one of the big
telegraph companies.

Asyou study, work; as you work,

they never see the factory at all.
Try to figure out ways to do things
better, to save time and money, to
make work quicker, easier, and
more pleasant.
If possible, work for a while IN
each department of the plant; this
will let you see the whole quicker.

breads the Machine Gun.

Omaha, Jan. 6.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: What a wonderful sug-
gestion that the larger banks should
use machine guns in way Of sudden
attacks for robbery, etc.
Does the promoter of this H.
lustrious idea ever stop to think a
moment that it takes expert men to
handle one of these guns, and does
he take into consideration that
neither Of the large banks has ever
been held up, been running for half
century, and IL by chance either
of the banks should be held up at
the time Of day that either Ralston
or Benson bank was attacked it
would indeed be a healthy innova-
ton to open up, from First National
or United States National or Omaha
National about II o'clock in the
forenoon on Saturday, as these are
the days usually selected by this
class of gentry, with a machine gun.
The street at this time of day is
bank of surging humanity.
Just the thought would seem to
strike one of it's absurdity and per-
son entertaining a thought for
single moment ought to be sent to
the "bughouse." Such brilliancy may
be used as bluff, but there are peo-
pie probably foolish enough to at
tempt something Of this kind. The
very time one may need the expert
gunman he probably would be in an
ice cream parlor, as he is not expected
to set cross-legged for half
century in position to aim up and
down Farnam street.

GET PUBLICITY ON CALENDAR
That Form Of Advertising Is the Most
Popular With the Merchants
Of China.

It has been known for a long time
what relative task 1t was to go visit
ing in China-that u.s. il you happened
to be lofty dignitary and must there
fore carry along a card of uncomfOrt-
able dimensions. Advertising, it seems,
shows corresponding divergence not
only from occidental methods, but
from those of nearby Japan, There
are thousands upon thousands of
newspapers in China, but they are
not very firmly established, and when
they do not soon disappear altogether,
they are almost sure to change name
frequently, as has been known to hap
pen with certain American products.
Newspapers Of the republic have an
average daily circulation of 5000.
which is larger than it looks, since
the papers are carefully passed from
hand to hand. There u.s., then, to be
sure, newspaper advertising as we'll as
posters. But the most popular form
Of publicity for merchants is-the cal.
endar! Nowhere Is that humble do
nestle article more important than in
China. Advertisements here placed are
looked upon every day. And after all,

begin to arrive about this time of the

TO WORK OLD COPPER MINES
Machinery, Will Reopen Shaft
on the Isle Of Cyprus.

Equipped with modern mining ma
cbinery purchased in the United
States with California money, the rich
copper mines of the isle Of Cyprus,
which centuries ago furnished cop
per for the civilized world, may in a
few months be turning out thousands
Of tons Of that metal.
According to an announcement
made yesterday. a syndicate Of Cali
forlila capitalists has secured a long
torn purchase lease on score or
more of the most valuable workings
on the island, and engineers are now
on tn round outlining plans for in
staflnS modern mining machinery to
replace the crude plants maintained
by the Phcenicians centuries ago.
While the NAMES Of members Of the
syndicate were not given out, d. G..
Jacklin, multi-millionaire copper mag
nate of San Francisco. is the recog-
nized head of the corporation.
When the war first broke out the
syndicate had about completed plans
for perfecting their lease of % claims
on, the island, bnt complications
brought about by the conflict forced
abandonment of the plan until after

TO OPERATE AIRSHIP FLEET
Ambitious Plans Credited to English
Company Well Within the Realm
Of Possibility.

A company has been formed in Eng

fleet of airships to various parts Of the
world. The syndicate desires to ac-
quire ground near Southport, where II
proposes to erect a tower 12O to $50
feet high to which airships may be
mo0red. and an elevator will take the
passengers up the tower and into the
gondolas of the ships. The syndicate
intends to have fleet Of non-rigid
airships in commission next spring;
the smaller will carry 80 passengers
and crew and the larger 40 passengers
and crew. The company also antic-
ipates running some of the larger
rigid airships now in course Of con-
struction. These, will have a carrying
capacity of $50 passengers and be able
to travel to any part Of the globe. 1t
is proposed to use the smaller non
rigid airships to feed the larger ones
aud meet them ut the principal CEN
ters. The cost per mile is put at about
half the cost Of Il taxicab fare today,

Reasons for FEEDING Birds.

By feeding the birds in cold weather
one provides ammunition against the
mosquitoes Of June, explains a mem
her Of the Animal Protective league.
It seems that birds feed their young
on mosquitoes, thus destroying great
numbers of the pests. Little natural
food is available for birds in the win
ter except in the extreme South, and
even there less can be found by them
at this season than in the summer. So
when the table or pantry shelf Is
cleared of crumbs If the contents OF
the crumb tray are scattered outdoors
instead Of being put In the garbage
can, the birds will be thankful, and
will show their gratitude by saving
the food giver many mosquito bite
next summer.
Mosquitoes are only one of the many
excellent reasons why birds should be
fed during the winter. The others are
all the other insects which hamper
the production Of the garden, and all
pleasures of song and plumage.-St.
Joseph Gazette.

miles this soft coal lies 50 close to the
surface that farmers merely dig a
hole in their own fields and take ont
the coal as they require it. During
1918 1000, OOO,O 600 tons were mined. If
the farmer is too busy with his farm
work to help himself, he can buy 1t
for $3.50 or 81 per ton. Many of the
large grain elevators are operated ny
power furnished by coal that is mined

in fuel has aided materially in in
creasing the per capita wealth.

TELLS HOW HE CURED COLD
edy Which He Declares Does

and those Of other people. Doctor
Buckley tells the story in the Medical
Record, as follows: ""~a .>
Yesterday had about as severe a
cold as possible, which had been COM
ing on several days, and had been sim
ply neglected, and sneezed and
coughed all day, using any number of
handkerchiefs. In the afternoon
took one or two doses Of soda, half a
teaspoonful, and in the evening took
FIVE more, at half-hour intervals, in
warm water. At midnight took one
Of the grip powders I have so long
prescribed, ten grains OF phenacetin
with 20 Of soda. with hot water, and
under my pillow. I dropped to sleep
very soon and slept soundly until call
ed at 80, when took another Of the
phenacetin and soda powders and
found the cold entirely gone; exactly
the experience which l reported be-
fore and which l have had many
times.
''Last year from October to late
spring l wrote for the phenacetin and
soda powders ten grains and 20, al
most every day, and sometimes at least
four times in the day, for patients
threatened with grippe, and although

Of any failure to arrest the trouble"
