SIMPLE MATTER OF ECONOMY
French Merchant Easily Proved Why
1T Would Pay Customer to Pur-
chase the Chair.

A man went to one Of the big fur
niture dealers to buy writing table.
Choosing one of the least pretentious
pieces, he asked the price. 1t was 500
francs, which seemed rather high. The
shopman. however, added: 1--WE Will
add this little armchair. It isn't dear.
Only SO francs"
mo. l don't want 1t. have quite
enough chairs"
"EXcuse me-" said the seller. IF
you buy the desk alone, I shall have
to ask you to pay the luxury tax,
which comes to so francs. But If you
take the chair rs well, I shall be able
to put down your purchases as suite
office furniture. For this the tax
limit is 1900 francs. and do not have
to charge you on a purchase OF s5o
francs. Thus, If you take the chair
YOU save 80 francs and have an extra
piece into the bargain"
AS a matter Of economy the chair
was bought.-Le Figaro (Paris).

An important and as yet 1ndeter-

eggs in the first four or five months
of the year to enable her keeper to
raise and market several dollars
worth of young. ducks from her eggs.
These young ducks have size and
weight and may be made fat and
juicy before marketing, which Is al
ways done by the big duck raisers in
the East, and this is why they raise
ducks Of the Pekin variety for the
market. This can be done as we'll,
and there is always ready and profit
able market for such ducks.
Three Features Of Value.
There are really three features OF
value in the Pekin duck. One is her
eggs to be converted into young ducks
as suggested. The other is her feath-
ers, which are abundant and Of soft
texture and valuable in the market
and she may be picked at least twice
a year. The third point Of value Is
when the duck herself is fattened and
marketed.
Pekin ducks are great foragers, and
with favorable surroundings. such as
4 pond or other water source, and
grass to range over, they will pick up
in this way more than half Of their
food. It is true they may be raised
under less favorable conditions, but
at less profit and with more care and
work.

OLYMPIC TRIAL

Chicago Member Of Olympic CON-
mittee Thinks American Can
Muster Best Teams Ever.

Chicago, March 16.-Everett C.
Brown, member Of the American
Olympic committee which met in
New York last Saturday and COM
pleted arrangements for the selec-
ton of the United States team in
the games at Antwerp. Belgium,
this summer, returned to Chicago
yesterday.
According to Brown, all prelim-
mary plans have been completed
for the picking Of the team. He as
serted the committee acted in har-
mony and that it was the consen-
sus that one of the strongest teams
which ever represented this coun-
try will be mustered.
The committeeman said it will be
optional with the athletes where
they compete. There are any num-
Der of star performers attending
eastern colleges whose homes are
in the central west. These athletes
will be permitted to take part in
either the eastern or central west
tryouts.
Although the tryouts in track
and field will be held on Stage
field June 26 will be a great event,
the swimming trials awarded Chi
cago will be Of even greater i'm
portance," Mr.. Brown said. Swim
mers from all sections of the coun-
! try and those of Hawaii must come
here for the trials. 1t should be
the greatest gathering of natators
ever seen in this city.
Only One Meet Considered.
at should be understood that
the tryouts on June rs are the Off
cial trials for the district. The
committee will not take cognizance
of any other meets despite reports
to the contrary. l shall appoint a
committee in the near future, to be
known as the central west Olympic
committee, which will assist in
staging the trials in the district"
Brown said he will ask Director
A. A. Stage of the university Of
Chicago to referee the trials. The
Maroon director was asked to ref.
cree the inter-allied games, but was
forced to decline because of i'll
