If a woman should walk into re
tail store and purchase the first suit
that she tried on, for instance, the
shock probably would prove fatal 10
the storekeeper or the s2leswOman.
The chances are that she viii try on
q dozen suits and look at as many

her taste or pocketbOOk, and the store
keeper not only expects but wishes
her TO do this. He wishes her TO be
satisfied as he knows that a satisfied
customer is the best advertisement
that he can obtain.
Taking Chance.
This same woman, however, may or
der a suit from a mail order house on
the strength of nothing more than
pretty picture and an alluring descrip-
ton. She has not even the OppOrtun-
ity to try it on, TO say nothing Of the
chance of examining the fabric, noting
the exact shade OF the material and
inspecting the workmanship. She IS
taking chances on the suit fitting her.
en- the material being good and dur
able. the shade becoming to her and
the workmanship of such q character
that the suit will not fen to pieces.
The woman who takes such chances
cannot be called q shrewd shopper.
1t might be more easily understood
why mere man. unaccustOmed and
averse. as q rule, to shopping excur-
sions. should fall q victim TO the cata-
Iogue habit. He might find it easier
TO order from the picture in the cata-
Iogue than TO go to store and look
for the article that he wanted or he
might take the position that he
wouldn't know what he was getting
anyway if he went TO the store and
he might as well take chance on the
mail order gamble, but why the WON

knows that she is getting what she
wants when she gets it should buy On
the sight unseen plan-well, that's
another question altogether.
Woman's Greatest Opportunity,
Women are taking a more and more
prominent part in public affairs al
the time. They are aiding now in
many parts of the country in running
the affairs of state. Even where they
do not have the ballot they are playing
a big part, individually and through
their organizations, IA the conduct par
ticularly of local governments, yet In
the one field where they can DO most
to help build up their communities
they may be overlooking their oppOr-
tunity. With the buying power in
their hands they can DO more for thelg
community by stanchly supporting
their home business men than they
can possibly do in any other way.
Man may think he IS very imp1r-
tant element in the PEE resS and deyel-
opment of his town but when he re
fleets that so per cent Of the buying
power of the community is In the
hands of the women be Is apt TO real
Ize that he is a very Insignificant atom.

L genius who invented the short
watt method of measuring electricity,
which has made the electric light

Mr.. Edison is conceded by both press
and public to be one of the best and
most fertile inventors the United

the habit in early youth and has never
gotten over it. lie began life as a

WOMEN CONTROL
TOWNS DESTINY
Can Make or Break a Community
Through Exercise of Their
Buying Power.
They HOLD PURSE STRINGS
IL Is Estimated That at Least 80 Per
Cent of Retail Purchasing Is
Done by Feminine
Shoppers.

1t has been said that the hand that
rocks the cradle is the hand that rules
the world and nowhere is this more
literally true than in the world of
trade. The woman is the purchasing
agent of the household and man, as q
rule, is very glad TO have her handle
the job.
1t has been estimated by some stu
dents of the merchandising game that
so per cent of all retail buying is done
by women. This may be a high esti-
mate but g visit to the retail stores
of any town or city is enough TO con-
vince one that the figures are not too
high. The preponderance Of women
among the buyers is sufficient, st any
rate, TO make not only the retailer but
the manufacturer and the wholesaler
realize that II is the women that they
must please with their merchandise.
Because they do by far the greater
part of the buying in any community,
the women have a responsibility that
they do not always appreciate. The
women of a town, through their buy
ing power, can make or break the mer-
chants of q town and as a natural con-
sequence they can make or break the
town. 1t is in their power TO make
it a prosperous town or dead town.
When the women of q town acquire
the mail order habit, the town may
just as well begin making arrange
ments for its own ObSequieS.
Hard to Understand.
Just why q woman, who is shop
per by instinct and q shrewd judge
of values in merchandise, should Sue
cumb to the lures of the mail order
house it is difficult to understand but,
some of them do. No
one knows better than the woman who
has had some experience in the buy
ing of merchandise how difficult it is
20 distinguish between the genuine and
the imitation even after close inspec-
ton. The good shopper, when on buy
Ing bent, does not always take the
first article that is offered for inspec-
ton. In fact this is the exception
rather than the rule. The merchants

when he first came in contact with the
kind Of electricity which produces
head-end collisions.
After Mr.. Edison had learned the
Morse alphabet so that he could tell
q dash from q semi-colon his inventive
genius began to break out faster than
q fat boy with the measles. Whenever
he wanted something that nobody else
had thought of, he would go out and
invent it and then cry Eureka" after
having it patented in several different
languages. Most of Mr.. Edison's pat
ents are still doing business at the
old stand.
Mr.. Edison gives away q great deal
of money without advertising for bids
and has helped many a young man TO
get somewhere on his own power. He
rises at a. N. and mingles with fuses,
retorts, crucibles spark plugs and
other forms OF inanimate life until
midnight. He is one of the few Ameri-
cans who have the cross of the Legion
OF Honor pinned neatly over the pia-
nola. He sleeps with 4 pencil over his
left ear and a tablet under his pillow
thus making it impossible for any mer
itorious invention to get away.

months ago, bound for the North Pole,

Heckla said: his vessel, being Of light

icebound near the Maud 10 days. He
said Captain Amundsen hoped to free
the ship soon and continue his journey.
