At the end the scientist finds him

or even knowing the character OF the
thing he sought than was Plato or

when IL came TO the thing which none
OF them KNEW anything about.
Always there has been q doubt as
TO whether the soul was within or
without the body.
One investigator who died not long
ago spent years of his life in an at

so delicate that he would be able TO
determine If there was any deter

human body just before and just
after death. hoping thereby to es-
tablish the weight OF the soul.
There were reports, never perhaps
justified, that the government bureau
OF standards had under consideration
a similar line Of experiments.
II would be just as satisfying, in
all probability. to try and weigh a

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
THE JOB AND THE MAN
By r. A. WALKER.

hold the brush or OF the sculptor
when his hammer and chisel have
been laid down for the last time?
Is there tangibility TO knowledge,
TO talent. or are they wholly spiritual
and without dependence on material
things and existencef
Plato said. The body is a prison.
from which the soul must be released
before IL can arrive at the knowledge
of those things which are real and :m-
mutable."
Is the soul really imprisoned within
the body or is the body only an IL
fusion which our belief gives q de-
ceiving reality?
The scientist who is studying mat
ter, for no one yet KNOWS what
matter is. tells us that everything
material is made up of electrOns and
that electrons are really only q mani
festation of electricity and that cleo
tricity is not matter but only energy,
and we. therefore, end up with the
statement that matter is not material
but only a demonstration of energy,
so after all what is there TO the thing
which we ordinarily think of as the
home of the soul?
What an enigma. What an eternal
problem We stand upon the edge of
great ocean and wisely discuss il
as q whole when we do not know more
than the merest fraction Of the truth
about the one wave that washes al
our feet.
We write books with sounding titles
and confess at the end, if we are
truthful, II know nothing"
Only ONE thing man really KNOWS
That is that he is conscious, that he
has been endowed with some power
of recognition and reason. Whether
his use of that power results In q
truthful conclusion he does not know
II may be that one of the greatest
glores and privileges of the hereafter
will be TO know something and know
that ii is the truth.
There are many question marks in
the paragraphs above but all life is q
question to which none of us have
ever known the satisfactory answer.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
TEACHERS

TEACHERS are looking about these
l. days for opportunities that will
give them better returns than those
the schools yield. This may be a
pity from the point of view of the
schools, but it is fact.
But many women love teaching, and
feel that they are particularly we'll
suited to this work. Yet they must
earn more money There is an OPP
portunity for joining the two in teach
ing craftsmanship. Many of the big
department stores run classes for
teaching their salespeople better meth
DDS and for giving them a chance to
advance TO the higher positions.
Teachers are now taking special
courses in selling and then going into
the teaching of this branch Of COM
merce.
There is also an opening in doing
special research work for retail and
department stores, and teachers are
qualifying for such positions. Natural
ly they soon make far greater salary
than ever they got by schOol-teaching,
and what is, more the life itself is
broader, more various and fuller of
opportunity. Teachers who go into
commerce from this angle often de-
velop into saleswomen themselves, and
grow to prefer that work. Executive
positions in retail and department
stores are also open to them after
the experience that comes with teach
ing.
4 certain time spent in teaching
school is good practice for almost any
job Witness how many of our ia
nous men were at one time of their
career teachers in cruntry or city
schools. But the young woman who
wants 10 get out into the world and
make a real future for herself will
not stay too long in the classroom
She will use her training 10 bring hel
the best results possible. Executive
positions in wholesale and retail trade
are one possibility. and an excellent
one.

Fifty Thousand Jobs on the Plum Tree

UPWARDS of $4,000 appointments
- TO public offices, carrying salaries
aggregating more than $10O,000,000 Il
year, are to be made by President
Harding. Some of these have been
made, many others will be announced
during the next few months, while
still others will be made as the terms
of present Democratic Officeholders eX-
pire.
The first fruits from the shaking
Of the official plum tree were cabi-
net officers, whose salaries are $4,000
year each. Others to come include
nearly a dozen ambassadors, whose
salaries are ST., 500 each; many minis
tiers at $4,000 each; assistant secre-
taries, federal judges, attorneys and
marshals, customs collectors, members
Of various government boards and
commissions and postmasters by the
thousands.
In contrast to the huge patronage
roll of Mr.. Harding are the appointive
perquisites Of Vice President Coolidge,
whose immediate appointments COM
prise only his secretary, clerk, page
boy and a private telegraph operator.
Their salaries total $7,7O0 year. The
vice president himself receives $4,000.
Among appointments are seven
members Of the shipping board at

THE ROMANCE or WORDS
"caTcRPENNY"

USED IN the sense of an in
~ ferior article, made merely
10 sell. this combination of two
words has recently gained for
Itself place in English die
tiOnaries, though the word it
self is nearly a century old,
dating back 10 1894 when Thur
dell was hanged for the murder
of Weare, a crime which was
one of the most sensational in
the annals of London police.
1t happened that a printer by
the name Of Catnach saw a
chance 10 make a considerable
sum OF money through the pub
LEGATION Of what he alleged 10
be the murderer's speech from
The gallows. The paper CON
tanning this report sold fairly
well, but the receipts did not
come up TO Catnach's expecta-
tions. So he printed q second
edition, with a headline in large
letters across the top Of the
sheet: 1--WE ARE alive again :"
These words actually appeared
in Weare's speech, as reported.
but the printer purposely left
very little space between the
first two words of the phrase
and, reading the line "WEARE
alive again!" thousands of per-
sons bought the paper before
they discovered the deception.
The London Times referred
TO the matter as a "catchpenny
device" and the printer was
thereafter known as Catch
penny" Catnach. SO descriptive
was the word that it has re-
manned in the language to this
day.
