HOW TO GET RICH.
A Few Thousand Ways Where Help Is
Needed.

How can you get rich? Thousands OF
ways. You've given thought to many OF
them. And probably, at some time or
other, you've tried to invent something
as a short cut TO wealth
Trouble is, most folks try to invent
something complicated.
The simple things are most IN de-
mand. Many big fortunes have been
founded on them. For instance;
A husband got tired of searching I'M
der the bureau for his wife's hairpins.
So he crimped the wires of the hairpins
20 keep them from falling out OF her
hair. The idea worked. He built bus
mess around it, To-day every woman
uses his inventions
Another fellow lived in the days
when all screws were fiat at the end,
when a hole had to be drilled before
the screw could be used. He sent to
Washington the shortest patent appll-
cation on record Il claim patent ON
screw with gimlet point"
That patent made hinf rich. Millions
of screws, based on it, are now used ev-
cry day.
Great fortunes grew out of the safe
ty pin, removable collar button, sharp.
ened nail, key ring and rubber pencil
tip. This latter was devised by an of
fee clerk who tied his eraser to his
pencil so he wouldn't have TO reach
for it.
Can you invent metal tip that
won't pull off shoe laces?
Or some way of fastening French
heels to womens shoes SO they won't
come loose
Or a wrench that viii handle big
pipe without crushing it?
Or simple device to do easily any
thing else now difficult?
II so, you can virtually name your
own price. Haverhill Gazette.

DANCED A
REAL jig WITH
WOODROW WILSON
But This Was Before the
Volstead Act Went
Into Effect

Joseph B. Tumulty, former Sec
rotary to President Wilson, has ar
ranged a publisher for his forth
coming book narrating his expert
ences in political life, and it is now
said that it Will be issued in Sept
ember. Harry Wilson Walker, the
veteran newspaper man and racon-
teur, has been spending few days
in New Jersey, and he tells yonl
correspondent of one chapter in
the book over which the friends OF
the author are particularly en-
thusiastic. 1t relates to the trying
out of Woodrow Wilson by the
Jersc-r politicians when the future
President entered public life and
his victory over what even Mr..
Tumulty and other friends of the
president of Princeton regarded as
insurmountable obstacles. The
story told by Mr.. Tumulty displays
the strain of delicious Irish humor
which was ever the delight of the
newspaper correspondents who
used to sit in with him OCCASION
ally in his leisure hours at the
White House-a brand which even
Bernard Shaw or George Moore
might not be ashamed to claim.
In the early days of DR.. Wilson's
administration as governor of New
Jersey, h was determined to have
enacted what was known as the
Gevan bill providing for reform of
the primary and election laws. The
bill was in the Senate, which con-
tanned only a small Democratic ma
jority, and about fifteen of the
Democratic senators were classed
