Assets and I;ab;Iities
BY 'MDLLIE PRICE COOK


 Daddy, 1 heard you dietating a iet- ter when l was in your office ysster. day and you were talking about assets and liabilities. What did you mean p t" ASsetS are the good things a busi- ness owns-eash, property, merchan- disc. Liabilities are things a business 1 doesn't want-debts, and incumbrances. | If the assets of mans business do not amount to more than its liabilities, it is in 3 bad way
 A twinkle appeared in MT. Clark $ eyes. By the way, Heien," he said, you have assets and liabilities too. Why mot start the. New Year with a list~of them ?"
 Helen thought hard. Her father was right. A girl has strong points | and weak ones that stand in just as important relation to her success in life as the property and debts of 8 business firm.
 She took paper and pencil and be- gan writing: Helen CLoyk, Ineorboy- nted. AssetS: Good health. Can sew. Know how to study. Can walk far ther than any girl in my. room. Ad- mire: hrainy people who succeed. Want kO oe SoneboQy mySelK. L100Htt3eS: Hate to obey parents. Lack cheerful ness when cannot have my own way. Could do more for others. Don't know how to skate or swim. Forget to brush my teeth. Eat too much candy and cake. Wowl That's enough! i could go on forever"
 It is needless to say that so clever a girl as Helen will not falter long on those liabilities. She will onnitiIate them. Any girl car profit by her ex- ample, beginning the new year, 1920. with as clean balance sheet as pos sible
 PersonoEty is the greatest asset girl can have. Personality means health, alertness, cheerfulness, neat ap- pearance, generosity, and willingness to serve others.
 Poor health, lack of energy, grouehy. .peeyish disposition, and dowdy looks, are liabilities that Ian uary, 1o20 should see paid out in full and rubbed of the books,

The Next Fellow,

One day an old umbrella mender brought his skeleton frames and tinkering tools into the alley at the back of my office. As he sat on a box in the sun, mending the broken and torn umbrellas, I noticed that he seemed to take unusual pains, test ing the cloth-carefully measuring and sewing the covers.
 Being always interested in anyone Eho does piece of work well, vent out to talk with him few minutes.
 You seem to be extra careful,'' ] remarked.

 ''No, I suppose not"
 DO you every expect to come back p
 srNo."
 Then why are you so particular ?''
 -So it will be easier for the next fellow who comes along" he answered simply. If I put on shoddy cloth or do bad work these people will find it out in a few weeks. and the next fellow mender who comes along will get the cold shoulder ar the bulldog, seer"
 "Yes. saw, and 1 wished that every worker in every trade and pro- fession had as generous a conception of his duty or his calling as this itinerant umbrella mender.

future. They like to imagine the days long past, when there were arctic conditions where they now live, and when great icebergs ground each oth-' CT to pieces in the channel of a mighty rushing river, where only pile of boulders, in a dry valley, remains to tell the tale
 When these boys tramp over a long gravel ridge, even though it. is miles from any lake, they know that only waves can grind rocks up into sand and gravel. So they say, s"Ti1ere must have been a lake here once" When they see hill of pure sand, they say, "Oniy wind piles lip sand like this. This is a sand dune" When they climb over clay hills, with occasional swarnpy spots, they recognize the end of an ancient ice sheet. Other hills they, can see have been left when rivers have cut away the soil on either side. If Frank and John lived in a mountainous country, they might see hills that were made by the folding of rock when the interior of the earth shrank If they ever go to the drum lin region of Wisconsin or New York, they may be puzzled at seeing many hills, all of the same strange eiiiptical shape-a shape similar to that of an egg. But even ii they cannot deter mine at first sight that these hills were formed under the great ice sheet, at least, they will know that inyesti- gation and reasoning will reveal their history. This knowledge makes ev- cry place they go more interesting.

 But one day I heard a great noise and saw the ferns around me being tramped down. The next thing I knew felt a great weight pressed upon me. and I fell asleep.
 I do not know how long I slept. but after what I think must have been thousands of years.

As left the boys I was put into what heard was the break CT I thought would never be. whole again, but at last came out and go- ing down chute that took my breath away landed in a freight car and was carried away.

CITY PEOPLE easy MARKS"
Many Bestowed Aims on Beggar for
Whom Lusty Youth Was En-
gagged in "Barkine."

Since efficiency is finding its way
into all business one of the Oldest
professions" Of all has begun to adopt
modern methods. The innovation is
due to a beggar who made his stand
opposite one of the subway entrances
along the Williamsburg bridge APP
prOach on Delaney street, the New
York Evening Sun states.
Many who passed this spot recently
were struck by the appearance of this
beggar, an elderly, long-bcarded man,
who sat huddled up in a wheel chair,
Alongside was a husky youth of nine
teen or so, busily engaged in "barking'
for the beggar. Secretly the latter
must have thought it good joke on
the almS-giving public, for there was
always a smirk on his face, as his
friend shouted so none should neglect
to drop q coin in the bcggars lap. His
"spiel' was in Yiddish, which, roughly
translated into English, would be:
"Stop: Give charity, people"
Many who ought to have known bet.

New Wireless Distress Call.

A novel wireless emergency device
by which ships in distress cam ring
alarm bells on other ships within wire
less range is reported by the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce in London.
The present wireless system of COM
muniCatiOn requires that an operator
to hear a call must be on duty, wear
ing the usual telephone headpiecc.
The new device is said to enable any
station or ship equipped with spe-
cial automatic transmitter key to call
up any station or ship within range,
fitted with a corresponding receiver re-
lay, even if the operator is absent.
The calling up, according to the Amer
lean chamber, is effected by a bel
which starts ringing on the ships
called.
1t is claimed that one of The most
important uses Of the devices will be
to insure immediate and general at
tention to S. O. S. calls.

BULLETS MAKE BEST LAYERS
1t Seldom Pays to Keep Hens for
Eggs After They Are 2N Years
Oid-Young Fowls Favored.

There are people who have the
right variety of fowls, who house and
feed them properly, and yet who can
not obtain eggs early in the winter
because their fowls are too old. 1t
seldom pays to keep hens for laying
after they are two and one-half years
old; not that they will not give a
profit, but that younger fowls will
give greater profit, says the United
States department of agriculture. A
great many poultrymen who make a
speciality Of winter egg production
keep nothing but pullets, disposing of
the one-year-old hens before it is time
to put them in the winter quarters.

VARIETY OF FOOD FOR HENS
Fowls Easily Obtain Different Things
Necessary to Make Eggs and
Maintain Body.

Constantly feeding one or two grains
only cOmpels the fowls to eat more
than they ought to and make their d.
gestive systems work too hard trying
to get all the different food elements
in sufficient quantity out of this mate
rial. BY feeding a variety of food the
fowls are not obliged to consume so
great an amount and they can more
easily obtain the different things re-
quired to maintain the body and make
eggs.
