spent an hour before I went out study
ing the cook book which had been one
of Mary's first purchases. I decided
not to attempt anything elaborate, so
purchased steak, potatoes, which
would bake, some rice for a pudding
Il had noticed a recipe for Mothers
Old-fashioned Rice Pudding" which
read simply. 1 would try it. Then 1
bought some rolls-I would heat them
both for dinner and for breakfast
Robert was very fond of hot bread.
I had cleaned the little place before
went out. There was really very lit
tie to do as Mary had left it immacu-
late 1 made my pudding, got myself
bite of lunch, and then wondered
what I should do with myself until
time to get dinner. Thoughts of the
shop came to me. 1 wondered who
was waiting on my customers. and if
not there. 1 had a large clientele,
women whom I had waited upon. and
pleased for years. I hoped Mary
would take them.
I studied the cook book an hour;
then, unable to endure the inactivity
longer, 1 went for a walk in the park.
well, how goes to" 1t was Gard
ner Kenyon's voice. He was almost
breathless, he had hurried so to catch
up with me.
"Oh, beautifully. We had a lovely
breakfast. Then marketed. But this
afternoon I had nothing to do, so /
came out for a walk"
That's one thing business does to
you women" he had fallen into step
with me. you don't know how to
loaf. Now a man, no matter how
strenuous his business life, If he has
the chance can loaf with a clear con-
science, and do It comfortably. But a
business woman carries an Atlas like
load on her shoulders and won't drop
it even when she is playing"
Does Mary carry load constant
ly?" I asked mischievously.
Yes, altho L have tried to break
her of it. I am teaching her to play.
1 don't want her to miss the shop af-
ter we are married"
After we parted L wondered if Gard
ner were right. I concluded he was.
I, for one. didn't know how to loaf.

THE OVERALL MOVEMENT.

The overall movement, which
sprang into existence last week, is
sweeping over the country like a prai-
rie fire. Probably it will continue un-
til the dealers stocks on hand become
exhausted or the price become prohib-
tive. The game of follow your
leader" is just as popular as ever 1t
was.
Apparently the campaign to bring
about the donning of overalls by the
male population was launched for the
purpose of forcing a reduction in the
price of other styles of clothes. That
it will succeed in doing this Is open to
much doubt for II is based on the
theory that there is profiteering in
clothing, while no evidence has been
produced to show that there is such
profiteering or that clothing prices
are out of proportion to the prices of
other things.
1t is true that a. suit of clothes
which could have been bought in 1915
for SIS now commands a price OF ap-
proximately $50. but it requires fewer
bushels of corn or wheat and fewer
hours of labor to buy the $50 suit than
1t did to buy the $25 one.
But the question often is heard: II
there be no profiteering how is II that
dealers and manufacturers are making
so much money? The answer to this
is that they are doing a greater volume
of businesses measured in dollars but
not in the goods handled.
To illustrate: Let US suppose a
clothing merchants sales for the year
1915 amounted to 100000 on which
he made a net profit of s per cent,
since that is what the government per-
mits. His net profit would be $4,000.
Then in 1919 he might do a business
amounting to s225,OOO without selling

Recently there has been an outbreak
of bank robberies thruout the country.
Many thousands OF dollars in liberty
bonds and war savings stamps have
been stolen. This has caused the
treasury department at Washington to
urge holders of these securities to reg
lister them. 1t is set forth that then
they are more easily traced IL lost or
stolen than a missing freight car. No
robber can realize on them for he
must present them for sale redemp-
ton and be identified as their proper
owner. Even If he destroy them or
throw them away. the real owner is
protected from loss and can have new
ones issued in their place by taking
the proper steps. They also are inn
mune from loss by fire. theft or acct
dent. Many persons have been de-
tered from registering these govern
ment securities by the amount of red
tape involved in making the transfers.
Simplification of the process might
encourage them to follow the treas
ury's suggestions.

TAXING ADVERTISING.

A bill has been introduced in con-
gress which reads: From and after
the passage of this act there shall be
levied, assessed, collected, and paid by
the advertiser upon all advertisements
in any book, magazine or newspaper
having a circulation of five thousand
or more. pamphlet or other publica-
ton entering the United States mails
tax equivalent to 10 per centum of
the sum usually charged by the pub
fishers of such book, magazine, news
paper. pamphlet. or other publication
for such advertising matter"
It is characterized by the Buffalo
News as the most dangerous measure
that has made its appearance in con-
gress in many a day." and probably
every publisher in the country will
agree.
The effect OF such a law would be
to lay another tax on the consumer
and to retard production. Money
spent in advertising represents an in
vestment for the expansion of trade.
an investment in whose returns every
body shares. Reduce advertising and
you reduce sales. 1t means fewer
clerks; it means fewer workmen. as
the demand for product is reduced.
Good advertising is good salesman
ship.
advertising is no more than mass
selling" says Printers Ink. TT is one
of the instruments by which sales are
made. Nearly all of the false eco
nomic reasoning on the subject of adj
vertising is due to the fact that people
will persist in regarding advertising as
a thing apart from selling. And since
all effort that is exerted in getting the
products from the manufacturer to the
consumer is part of the distributing
or selling process. it will be readily
seen how impossible it would to
segregate any part of this effort and
accurately label it 'advertising'
The bill is vicious. If it were given
force. trade in America would suffer
reduction which would materially
impair national finances. There is
such a thing as taxing business to
death. No more effective means of
accomplishing that end could be found
than the enactment of this bill.
Such a tax would increase the cost
of doing business, already too high,
for the public would. in the end, pay
the tax. Advertising has proved itself
an economic force. Thru advertising,
the cost of distribution is lowered. 1t
takes the place of statesmen. Adver-
Using is marketing. 1t saves time and
money. =
The bill should never be permitted
to leave the committee room.
