INCREASED NUMBER OF WOMEN
CARRY HOME TABLE SUPPLIES

Styles change in marketing, too.
Fifty years ago few stores delivered
any article. They were in the SELL
ing, not in the trucking business,
they doubtless would have told any
one who suggested such an idea. But,
in time, as the number Of stores in
creased and competition grew keener,
some of the merchants, to attract
customers to their stores, offered to
deliver purchases.
This innovation proved very popu-
lar with the public, and soon other
stores were forced to adopt the GUS
tom. At the start the idea was to de-
liver articles which could not be car
ried conveniently by the customers
But as time went on and the public
f1ocked to the stores which delivered
packages of any size practically all
merchants fell into line and gave the
same service. A yeast cake, a spool
of thread, or a handkerchief were
some of the articles bought for
which a delivery was asked by the
unthinking public The demand for
this sort Of service grew greater,
and, although merchants realized
that the cost of their delivery sys-
tenn was getting out of all proper
ton. there seemed no way of RENE
dying the matter.
Cash and Garry Stores
About ten years ago a group of
grocers broke away from the ortho-
dox plan and started what were
Prices which were cheaper than
those in the regular stores attracted
considerable trade, but not until the
war upset the world and raised the
cost of all commodities did the rank
and file throng to these stores. With

in recent years another type has
started, called the self-serVe, in
which the customer waits on him
self as we'll as carries home his pur-
chases.
The popularity Of these non-serv-
ice stores is due in part to the cam
paign which. has been carried on by
to the fact that those who are will
ing to carry home their purchases
can save money. One of the forces
at work to cut down the cost of mar
keting, so the producer can obtain
better returns and the consumer pay
less than he does now for his COM
modities, is states department of ag-
riculture.
Free Delivery a Misnomer
This bureau points out that it is an
absolute truism that there is no such
thing as free delivery. 1t may be
free in the sense that the customer
does not make a separate payment
for that item, but each delivery costs
the merchant a definite sum. and to
cover this cost he must put higher
price on his commodities. and the
customer pays, though Indirectly, for
the service.
adays, and it is one of the whole
some signs of the age that people
are breaking away from the idea
that a perfect lady or gentleman
never carried. a package, Now.s they
are carrying home not only food SUP
Where the cost Of delivery has been
eliminated from the stores prices,
persons So situated that they can
take advantage of the fact and per-
form their own delivery services can
often make appreciate savings.

Delegates Absent
When 9:45 passed, the delegates
space was pretty we'll filled, but not
Il single one of the fl st line leaders
had put in his appearance. The band
,illed in with something that sound
cd like a lullaby.
For the first time since the con-
vention began, candidates for the
presidency were missing from the
floor. DR.. Butler, of New York, gave
his proxy to a woman who sat in a
box. Governor Sproul dropped In
for a few minutes, but announced he
would return to his hotel when ball
loting started. The friends of Sena-
tor Johnson said they did not expect
their candidate to show himself in
Delaware delegates said the plan
been abandoned, but the delegation
would vote for him on the first bal
lot.
4 robust delegate from West Vir-
ginia, manifestly preparing for a
tempestuous time. took off his gall
luses and put them in his pocket.
Just about that time the band
played Reuben, Reuben, I've been
thinking"
At a few minutes to 10 heat, music
and conversation still constituted
the sum total of the conventions
business. The lateness of the leaders
caused much speculation among the
rank and file who wondered what
deals to break the nomination dead
lock might be under way.
Two minutes before 10 Senator
Lodge, the chairman, and Will Hays
appeared on the platform, but thu
milling delegates hardly noticed. The
band was choked off and minute
later the convention was called to
arder, Senator Lodge rapping for
order on a newly-made gavel plank.
YESTERDAY he had nearly smashed
the thin table top. Rev. John Meyer,
of Chicago. offered prayer.
A new pounding board for Senator
Lodges gavel was an innovation. IT
a shock absorber for a table, but
it lacked the tables punch.
The delegates kept impatiently
swinging tL2ir fans and shutting
their feet 4sering the prayer and aft
erward Senator Lodge raped hard
many times before he got the con-
vention quieted down.

wives and slayer of eight. was a
model husband in his home.
"Affectionate and considerate, he
led an ideal domestic life with never
a hint of the inner criminal urgings."
This is the statement of Miss
Katherine Wombacher, wife No. 5, who
is suing Watson for 100000 dam
ages. Where she expects to get the
money should she receive judgment,
Miss Wombacher does not know, but
she says she is certain Watson has
a large fortune hidden where 1t Will

Miss Wombacher. II met him while

affection. 1 became his wife.
HE had an iron will, and, While
he was kindness itself, he made it
understood that he was the real
boss. He was exceedingly fond of
music and his literary tastes were
high.

his crimes or haunting fears of

that he was just an ordinarily
good husband, above the average
in disposition and normal in every
way"
Wishes He Had Been Hung
Miss Wombacher was friend
of Bertha Goodneck, of Spokane

little longer.
The noise abated a little, and most
of the delegates took their seats, but
the galleries kept it UP while Sena-
tor Beveridge industriously punished
the gavel. At forty-two minutes the
demonstration finally was stilled and
Charles E. Pickett, of Waterloo, Ia,
seconded Governor Lowden's nomina-
ton.
The Illinois candidate, Mr.. Pickett
said, represented no particular Sec
ton and made his campaign on no
narrow issue, but on a platform as
broad as the nation itself. There was
a rousing cheer from the convention
floor when Mr.. Pickett said the ma
ton needed a practical man, and
that Governor LoWden would fill that
bill.
Governor Lowden, Mr.. Pickett de-
clared, was not running on one prIn-
ciple. but on the fundamental founda-
ton of the Republican party.
Domestic issues, he said, will be
predominant. Governor Lowden also,
he said, represents no particular
class.

ATTITUDE TAKEN
IN INTERCHURCH
MOVE EXPLAINED

That there is a general misconcep-
ton of the attitude of some of the
Protestant denominations toward the
Interchurch World Movement is the
statement of DR.. James l. Vance, of
Nashville, Tenn, who delivered the
baccalaureate sermon at Oglethorpe
university on Sunday and is spending
a day or two in Atlanta before re-
turning to his duties as pastor OF
the First Presbyterian church of
Nashville.
80 many conflicting reports have
appeared in the press that 1t is no
wonder that confusion has arisen as
to the action taken by the various
Protestant denominations with refer
ence to the Interchurch Movement"
said DR.. Vance.
1.-The southern Presby terian assem-
bly, at Charlotte, N. c., declined to
sever relations with the Interchurch
World Movement by a vote of 1871
to 1913 and by a large majority de-
cided to continue relations, approve
its work and appoint several repre-
sentatives to the general committee
of the movement.
Men who were at the northern
assembly of the Presbyterian church
have told me that the assembly took
southern Presbyterians, also declar-
ing for reorganization of the Inter-
church Movement and authorizing
payment of 100000 when such reor-
ganization has been affected. They
also validated payment of $1,O00,00O
for expenses of the movement dur
ing the past year.
1.-THE general conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Des
Moines was positively and enthusi-
astically in favor of the Interchurch.
1t expressed approval of its aims
and objects and recorded its graft
fication for the results already ac-
complished. The conference also
urged completion of the surveys now
under way and indorsed the plan for
short-time subscriptions to finance
the movement next year.
1.-THE Methodist Protestant church
Endorsed the Interchurch and voted
$4,000 to it's expenses, while the Re-
formed church in the United States
voted to cooperate and bear its por-
ton of the expenses.
1.-The Methodist Episcopal church,
south, through its board of missions,
voted to cooperate with the Inter-
church in those activities which par
allel the centenary program and to
finance the Interchurch to the extent
of the services resulting from this
cooperation.
1.-THE United Presbyterian church
and various other bodies have taken
favorable action. So far as I know
there is no supreme judicatory of
a denomination that has taken action
instructing it's constituency not 10
cooperate with the Interchurch. The
southern Baptists have taken unfa-
vorable action as convention, but
their constitution is such as to leave
local churches free to act as each
church may elect"
