Correspondence

The usefulness Of correspondence lessons with
its age. You can't tell when it is absolutely
useless, but you know that reference to it
decreases gradually rs it becomes older.
Obviously the best transferring system is that
which retires the correspondence gradually.
For example suppose your Upright Steel
Filing Cabinets will contain just one years
correspondence; file the second years cor
respondence in duplicate set or battery OF
cabinets, placed back to back with, and
labeled the same as the first; tho third year
transfer the first years letters from the Up
right Cabinets to Globe-Wernicke Steel Trans
fer Cases, stacked up in same formation as the
cabinets, as shown above. Then, the Upright
Cabinets or Active Files you have emptied are
ready for the current years correspondence.
Thereafter each year you transfer the year-old cor
reepondenca from cabinets to transfer and nain
tain in your cabinets letters covering the year
and the year previous.
In transferring, all the letters from each Cabinet file
put In one transfer case, maintaining the same
alphabetical arrangement
Our book. Filling and Finding Papers" explains this
system In detail. Ask for tits free.

DERHAPS, when you arrived in It,,
l. the world owed you living. You
didn't ask to come. You were born
helpless. without ideas, without the
ubility to get your own food. A new.
born kitten wus an intellectual giant
compared to you.
But the world began paying its debt
to you very promptly. If you had not
been fed and clothed and more or less
tcndcrly cared for the first few years
of your life you wouldn't be here now.
Aud Il was not for what in the life OF
any OF the lower animals would be a
long timc that you were compelled to
60 out aud do anything for yourself.
And when you did go out. you dis
covered, ic you were observing, that q
great deal had already been accom- .
nlishcd for you.

USE FOR WAR CRAFT.

An important contribution TO that popular psy-
chology which will have large influence in bringing
to favorable issue the deliberations Of the limitation
Of ornaments conference is made by Henry Ford in
announcing his readiness to buy. all the warships that
are scraped in the interest of peace. The Ford plan is
TO cut up the engines of destruction and transform
them into implements of useful production and Joy.
1t is a noble conception.
Though the people are convinced that sinking
be of inestimable benefit TO mankind, provided no
more war craft were built. practical business sense
cautions against such downright waste If there is
any way to avoid IT. We all remember the JOY o-
cssioned by the news that Germany was to be de-
prived Of her navy, and which was followed by popu-
lar questioning of the wisdom of sinking the ships
Most people felt that 50 much good metal should be
converted for the benefit of man, transformed, oil
course. But the only good that was derived from the
German craft was in Americas employment of its
share as targets In demonstration OF the efficiency
of other war Implements. We will not need to use
the discarded battleships and cruisers thus. for be-
ing bent on doing away with war, we are not inter-
ested in developing new arms Of ofense or defense.
How better could We realize the ancient ideal of
peace that called for beating swords into plowshares,
than by recastlng ~battleship materials into ample
ments Of agriculture, transportation and ether aids
to industsy, art and science? 1t is not premature to
consider how we shall dispose of surplus war craft
And il will help to the decision to reduce rmaments

It is a strange fact that economy always makes
a stronger appeal than humanity. For a long time
the humane societies have been protesting against
cruelty In the handling of meat-producing animals
Their efforts were attributed to exaggerated senti-
mentality. Lately their worldly wisdom has prompted
them to attack the problem from the angle of econ
omic waste and they are in fair way to gain a hearing.

GuMMED.UP.

All taxation tinkering has far-reaching effects.
Gum-chewing is not wicked. 1t is practuced by the
majority of American cHildaen innocently enough.
But in its need for revenue the federal government
conceived the scheme to watch by the gum counters
and collect a million dollars a year out of the pennies
the children spend for gum. 1t is said 10 be easy 10
take pennies away from the children.
But this tax had an interesting indirect effect
1t seems it was not an easy tax to pass along. The
children wouldn't pay more than a penny for a stick
of gum and to make the sticks smaller, as in the prac-
tice with many other taxed articles, appeared imprae-
ticable. The stick of gum was at the irredueible
minimum.
Accordingly. this happened: The gum makers
that couldn't pay the tax out OF profits. quit. Senator
McCumber, speaking in the senate on the tax bill.
made the statement that there is but one great trust
in the chewing gum manufacturing business. THAT
trust" said he. has driven cut of business practical
ly every one of the great companies There is only
one that is still struggling for an existence"
And he asserts that that trust is rather DESTROYS
of keeping the tax upon chewing gum. with its
enormous business it is able to pay it. The smaller
concerns all over the country are unable to pay it and
continue
Perhaps it is of minor Importance whether the
chewing gum is furnished by one company or by
many. but it is we'll to scrutinize a policy of taxation
which has such an effect. 1t surely is not good to
have the little fellows generally put out of business
and only the big trusts able to exist.
Here is something for the tax hxers to chew upon

A BATTLING ST

The New York detective bureau has one more
big problem on its hands. The publicity wing has
made no formal statement cf The full case. but fol-
lowing the big city well known form, it may be
concluded that the detectives are "bafled."
Somebody. at least it is supposed to be some
body, has been robbing detective headquarters. Twice
within three months thieves have stolen right under
the eyes and noses of the smartest cops in the world
True, the thefts do not amount TO much as thefts
Nothing was taken but two fire extinguishers, bu
that is a mere detail in taste. 1t might as easily
have been an overcoat from the back of an eagle-eyed
servant of the law or a pair of official gumshoes.
If such a case were reported to these same de-
tectives they would unhesitatingly declare it an in
side job smile, shrug their shoulders and go back to
headquarters, but in this instance what can it be?

goods from quite unsentimental sources. They take
the official reports of the agricultural department TO
prove that nearly two and a half million cattle and
more than one and a half million sheep died from
disease and exposure in 1919. The annual loss is
said To be almost constant. And exposure the animal
welfare people SAY. means starvation. The waste is
estimated at 900, 0o0. 900 pounds of meat every year
One can hardly understand how such methods
pay the cattle growing industry. Surely the country
as II whole must stand the less in advanced meat
prices. That untold suffering among the animals
must attend such a death rate should make its appeal
even to the crudest sensibilities.

which he will play James Durie."
the hero-rogue of the story. This
piece was adapted from the Steven
son novel by Carl Mason of New
York, and first revealed to public
gaze two years ago Mr. Whiteside
achieved an instant success i'm the
romantic drama, and presented it on
tour throughout the season of 1919
and 1920. The character of James
Durie" is said to afford Mr. White
side ample opportunity for the dis
play of his unquestioned genius for
it runs the entire gamunt, from light
est comedy to the abject depths Of
despair, and from blacklist villainy
to the heights of filial love and de-
votion. The play is in three acts. all
of which are acted in the great ba-

Ballantrae estate in Scotland, TO
which the most dramatic episodes of
the original story have been trans
posed. There the feud between the
Durie Brothers-James and Henry
is fought out. The final climax is a
stunning one; dramatic in the ex-
IRENE, and quite in keeping with the
Stevenson narrative.
Walker Whiteside's youthful days
were spent in Chicago, and the stage
of the Grand Opera House was his
playground He never missed one of
Henry Irying's performances, and
his knowledge of stage mechanics
was obtained at this time. After a
certain amount Of training under the
instruction of a local elocutionist,
Walker Whiteside began his first
starring tour at the age of 16, APP
pearing in Hamlet. Before he was
twenty he had starred successfully
in Othello, Richard Third, The Mer-
chant of Venice and Richelieu.
Walker Whiteside's more recent
career is pretty well known to news
paper readers by reason of his star
ring tours in "The Magic Melody"

Pawn" Jubilee Drex," "The Little
Brother" "The Ragged Messenger. "
