cURLEY KID
That's a question which has lsng
puzzled me. The word, rs We all
remember, first attained proMi-
nence when Kipling's poem, The
Vampire" was published, and
what the poet expresses in his
lines is the real meaning Of the
werd. 1t epitomiDes the person,
man or woman, who takes all and
gives nothing. As time passed,
however, that meaning Of the word
was obseured and II took on q jazz
flavor, and was applied to such
screen stars as Theda Bara and
others of her ilk, Finally, 1t has
come to be a word Of daily usage
with almost q comic twang, is
abbreviated and used both as verb
and noun. 1t seems to have va
rious shades of meaning, according
TO the context and according to
the user. A dozen persons use 1t
each meaning something different
from the other. It's now so cheap
and common that it Is avoided,
except in its true meaning, by oil
refined people. Personally,
would be entirely pleased II the
Congress amended the Constitu-
ton and made 1t a states prison
offense to be heard using the
word.

The lecture and pictures will bring
TO the merchant, clerk. and profes-
sional man. one Of the most fascinat-
ing stores on retail merchandising
and store efficiency ever presented.
Mr. W. II. Farley will be the lectur-
er. and. by moving pictures and ster-

plain some Of the latest and best

ment Of goods. window display. how

get best results therefrom-and
many other interesting things relat-
ine to retail business.

THE Troubles of a Merchant"-the
mistakes that usually occur N the
average store. the Indifference among
clerks on account Of lack Of proper
supervision, bad system, poorly ar
ranged stock-which resulted in loss
es and leaks in the business. and
finally caused the merchant to be-
come disheartened and about to give
up the struggle. The merchants ca
reer changed, however. after he
adopted a system that gave him a
proper check on his goods and money,
rearranged his store and goods so
that they attracted customers. and
taught his clerks how to become
more efficient through being eourte-
Gus and attentive to the trade. The
lecture and pictures bring out many
other ideas Of interest to the mer-
chant. and are instructive as wei as

and national conventions. under the
auspices Of Chambers Of Commerce.
