Folks Are Philanthropists,
Thinks mike Casey" When 1t
Comes to Giving Away Advice

! be they have never in all Of their
lives pulled line across a mules
back and have never in the least dis
turbed the quietude Of the soil.
IF you happen to get into a law
suit, they will give you free advice
on certain points of law, when it may
| be they have never seen inside the
lids of law book.
They will give you all kinds of
| free advice about the proper way
to raise your children, when it may
be they have never raised anything
| in all their lives except hound pup
or a bull yearlin' or two, or maybe a
billygoat.
"These advice givers will give you
all kinds of advice absolutely Free
about the matrimonial market, and
how to make matrimony extremely
blissful, when right then it may be
they are just back from the divorce
court with a second verdict and
copy Of the divorce decree in their
pockets.
1T looks like, as little as all this
free advice is needed. these advice
givers would become discouraged and
shut up their storehouse of free ad-
vice.
But reckon they have one conso-
lation. When some poor mortal. up
on whom they have lavished their
free advice, has a misfortune or
makes failure in life, they can rear
back and say:
"I told him about it, and II he
had taken by advice, things wouldn't
be like they are with him. Poor
thing!

Editorial Echoes

Robert Give started life with the sobri-
quet of "born Ounce" His teachers pro-
aounced him impossible" and requested his
parents to remove him from school. At 81
he could barely read or write. Yet Give
boasted that some day he would 'show ey-
erybody." He left home in rage and joined
the army. During critical engagement, and
while severely wounded, he was called upon
to command 5000 men. Unframed and
ridiculed by them, he nevertheless forced
those men forward by sheer grit and sue
ceeded in defeating 5000 men at Plassey,
thereby laying the foundation of the British
empire in India. England erected a statue
to his memory in Trafalgar Square.
Another born Ounce" was Carolus Lin
naeus the Swedish naturalist Born in Ras-
hult in Smaland, Sweden, what little chance
he had in life as a boy he threw away.
"Unhandy at everything; even unfit for the
pulpit" later wrote his critics. Yet in the
fields alone where he was commanded to
work he studied botany in a crude way, and
seven years later joyfully hailed as the
greatest botanst of his age.
Charles NJ. Schwab says there are more
opportunities today than ever before, but
that most people live in rut.

Fishermen have accepted the challenge Oh tue

between two fishing smacks for SILVER Guy
and a purse of five thousand dollars OF
which four thousand goes to the winner.
Here IL an international contest, the ban

the Maple Leaf of Canada on the other, that

brated and interesting to the people Oh poIh

The Defenders and the Resolutes, the
shamrocks and all the other speed yachts OF
the p1easure-seeking sportsmen are beautltul
enough in action, no doubt, and when pltted
against one another, excite the admiration
and partisanship Of thousands. But, after
all, they are idlers of the sea, dilettantes that

home making on big scale, and thu
running of apartment houses and thu
shops that purvey. luxuries, such al

But while sex has no place il
| business, womanliness has, and
girl can bring no more valuable as
set to her employer than just. thu
qualities that she would use in BEING
good housewife.
There is cleanliness and orderll
ness, to begin with. She can seq

an office is kept spic and span, and
we'll aired. and made comfortable
She can give it that subtle feminini
touch that takes the curse of th1
workshop off it, just as the woma 4

place to live in by altering theh arI

UP a pillow.
And she can bring to her worl
that curious faculty that women
have of knowing where everything

gift for locating everything, from
| fathers spectacles and pipe, tn the
| baby's teeth!ng ring and the sautoI
| mobile pump, is what makes daugh'

And woman's mania for detail and
observation of little things amount
to a special talent when she gives
them full play in business. It's
what makes her look after the PEN
MES, and stop leaks so small that
| they escape a masculine eye.
Furthermore, business is field ir
which a woman's tact has scope
to do it's great and perfect work. A
woman who cultivates the diplomacy
of her sex to it's highest power is
sure of success, for she will be able
to handle grouchy and surly employ
ers with velvet gloves, and she will
know how to return the soft answer
that turneth away wrath, and thai
makes the customer who has come
to kick, remain to buy.
And nowhere does the womanly
virtue of sympathy cut more ice
who is Interested in the joys and
sorrows of all with whom she comes
IN contact, who is pulled up the lad
der of success by those above her
| and boosted up it by those from be.
low her. She makes friends of her
fellow workers; she wins the conf
dence of her employers, and she gets
the cooperation of those who serve
under her because they all feel that
she is their friend.
The woman who is womanly, who
is quiet and sweet and lady-like and
efficient and kindly, she's the wom-
IN who gets there in business. She's
the woman we want and need In Of
fees as well as in homes.

Vt I could say one word more

i young woman who is starting
out to make her own bread and

they are women protect them from

Tears every time their work is

chronic hardness; lack of grit that

that come above business necessities;
touchy dignity that is always de-
handing parlor gallantries in an Of

man to sharpen their lead pencils
all these are the defects of the wom-

And they, form blanket indict--

many good woman from being ad-

entitled.
The woman who puts the. loud
pedal on sex in business makes a
mistake. So does the woman who
ignores it altogether, and who tries
to make an imitation man of her
self. She never gets far, because
all limitations are inferior to the
genuine article and nobody wants
one if they can get the real thing.
A lady Iongshoreman, for instance,
may get headlines in the paper be-
cause it is remarkable for a woman
to be a 1ongshoreman at all, but
when it came to lifting things, ana

their point, because the thing that

make one woman get under another

the same thing may be said of the
woman merchant. The thing we like
about her shop is it's difference from
a mans, the coziness, the nominees,
that she somehow manages to give

Practically always a woman sue

line of occupation in which she can

Wise Sbendinq

~ PEND with wisdom is the advice

~ the American Society for Thrift
lat comes with especial force at this time
hen the approach Of winter calls Tor ex-
1enditures in many lines and when the pur-
chaser has unusual opportunities.
t is not the refusal to buy that IS the
wisest thrift, Mr.. Strauss points out, but the
decision to buy carefully. One may sklmp
himself threadbare to save few hundred
dollars. and then toss it all away on some
extravagant or unwise purchase.
"CorTect snending is a matter of deep
study and intelligent Investigation de-
clares Mr.. Strauss. eff you have IN NINA
the purchase Of a home, for example, or a
set Of furniture or some article of wearing
apparel, do not buy the first thing that
strikes your fancy, but look around thor
oughly. = Never allow your enthusiasm TO
run away with your good Judgment
Buyers at this particular time should find
il easy to follow the advice Of Mr. Strauss,
for not in months has there been bigger
field for selection. Shops and stores of every
kind offer a market where the purchaser
should be able to spend wisely"
