THE TESS HOME ECONOMICS
AMENDMENT.

The woman runs the home and
brings up the child. Children grow
up to be men and women. Men and
women are the nation. Any educa-

woman to do her job better means a
better nation. This is the substance
OF the argument for the passage of
the Tess horne economics amendment
which had a good running start at the
last congress and which will be one
OF the first pieces of legislation
brought up at this present congress.

Whom to Trust.

To you comes an acquaintance who is out
of work. He's in a tight corner-wants to
borrow some money. Being good-hearted. you
want to help him. But you wonder: will
get the money back?"
The same question makes you knit your
brows when you are considering making 4
partnership, or extending credit to new Gus
toner, or selling your old conditions
that make the transaction largely a matter of
personal honor. You say. This fellow looks
good. But how do 1 know whether or not
he's wearing a mask? Is there any scientific
way 1 can look at mans physical appearance
or his condition in life and know with preci-
sion whether or not he is honest?"
There is no cut-and-dried rule for detecting
dishonesty. But some interesting facts about
honesty have been collected by F. n. Whitney of
the National Surety company of New York.
This is an organization that bonds treasurers,
ticket sellers and others entrusted with large
sums of money. The records of defaults show
that the ideal combination for honesty is fat,
married chap who swears like sailor. Whitney
says that men with these characteristics
considered the best risks" by the bonding
companies. That is they are least apt to steal
other peoples money
Profane men, says Whitney, let off steam
with cuss-words and that makes them at peace
with the world coveting nothing. Fat men
gorge their stomachs, then sigh with salts
faction and are contented with what they have,
inclined not even to consider stealing
Married men, fearing to disgrace their fam
lilies, are six times honest as bachelors.
Among races, Whitney says, the Chinese are
most honest-possibly because of the ancient
Chinese custom of chopping of the head Of
convicted thief. From which, you might de-
duce that the best person to hire for cashier
is fat, married. swearing Chinese.
But even that combination can be beaten
for Whitney says that surety statistics show
that the best risk in the world" is an Amer

Breaking the Buyers Strike.

Recently many manufacturers of automo-
bies have advertised material reductions in
the prices of their cars. The large number of
new cars to be seen on the city streets, many
Of them purchased so recently as to be unpro-
vided with license plates, indicates that the
price reductions brought general amount of
new business. If there is buyers strike the
way to break it, as the experience of automo-
bile manufacturers shows, is to lower prices to
a reasonable level.
Notwithstanding dizziness in business and
widespread unemployment there is abundant
evidence that the people have money. One
thority declared the other day that more than
so per cent of the original purchasers of Lib
erty and Victory bonds still owned them. But
the people are no longer willing to pay war
time prices for which there is no good excuse.
The sooner those makers and dealers who have
been and are still charging too much for their
goods realize what the situation calls for and
take action appropriate to that realization the
more quickly will the buyers strike come to
an end.
