be deliberate insult to them
Wage cutting has never been popular
with Henry Ford. Recently he stated
that he intended to continuously lower
the cost of his product. to the public
and increase the wages of workers,
declaring that to be his conception
of his obligation as trustee of a great
manufacturing plant.
A short time ago, the big financiers
sought Ford's scalp and failed to get
it and this taking a practically bank
rupt road. making it pay despite less
ened business and then to raise wages
just when they are claiming loss and
the need of lowering wages-is the
cause of great indignation among the
spoilers of the people.

THE RENT COLLECTOR

ID ENT collecting is branch of the
IN real estate work that appeals to
many young women who are interest
ed in housing problems. and several
such have entered it from settlement
work. The landlords find that women
make better rent collectors than men,
that they get closer to the tenants,
and that they promote a better under
standing between the parties to the
renting business.
Rent collecting is not mere turn
ing UP at the first of the month with
the demand for the rent. It is to the
interest of the landlord that the
houses he owns be properly run and
kept up, that undesirable tenants be
elected, and that the right kind get
right treatment. Women are good at
getting results in these directions. It
is usually the woman of the apartment
who pays the rent; it is she who has
complaints to make or alterations to
demand. And she speaks more freely
to another woman, and the other
woman understands better the usual
problems of housekeeping. 1t works
well both ways.
A rent collector is in a position TO
know more than most persons about
vacant apartments, various types Of
renters. possibilities of development,
bargains. There are really fine bust
ness opportunities in this line, and
women should study them.
After all, it is women who live in
the home and who manage the home.
When it comes to homes, women make
the better agents and better rent col
ieetors, and women are entering the
new field with enthusiasm.

Something to

THE JOB AND THE MAN
ByF.A Walte-
TELLING is SELLING

TN THESE days Of tlme-saving de-

"Eplgram" is an interesting word.

In English.
One OF the most condensed and
meaningful phrases / have ever seen
written or heard spoken was used by
a great editorial writer who boiled
down whole sermon into three words
when he said "Repetition Is reputa-
ton" That is sound, unassailable
truth I'm the fewest possible words.
Alongside that condensation Of wis
dom have filed away in my memory
the three-word statement that heard
an advertising solicitor use the other
day in convincing a prospective buyer
of publicity that advertising would be
the best possible investment that he
could make.
These were the three words he used:
"Telling is selling"
That comes pretty near reducing the
statement of what advertising is to the
fewest possible words and stating It
in the simplest possible way.
To a greater or less degree every
human being is an advertiser.
The man or woman who dresses well
advertises prosperity.
The man or woman who uses the
proper words in the proper places and
shows broad acquaintance with facts
advertses education.
The man with the light step. quick
movement, unceasing activity, adver-
tises energy, probably ambition.
You say 81 am a good judge Of hui

way of stating that you are an accu-
rate reader of the personal advertising
of individuals.
Every day we unconsciodsly tell
ourselves-advertis ourselves-by our
actions, by our habits. by our conver-
sation. Everyday we unknowingIy
succeed in or fail in selling" our
selves
If "telling is selling" it is equally
true that "Overtelling is underselling.p
Nobody ever permanently gained
anything by wandering from the truth.
Roasting is only a polite name for
lying.
Any buyer of men or merchandise
would rather be surprised by finding
his purchase better than he thought it
was than to discover that it failed TO
come up to what he had reasonable
right to expect.
If you have occasion to talk about
yourself tell just what you are.
If you find it necessary to sell your
self do not bargain for more than you
can deliver
Telling is selling" but the telling
must be the truth and the selling
must be on the basis of turning over
just what you have agreed to-of hav-

FORD RAISES WAGES
ON ID. T. & l. RAILROAD
AND MAKES 1T PAY

This Henry Ford person is a pesti-
ferrous nuisance to those engaged in
milking the railroads and treasury of
the United States, and his latest ex-
plot is the worst of all, to hear them
tell it.
Henry bought the Detroit, Toledo
and Ironton about year ago and when
he took it over the road was losing"
100000 a month, which Henry has
changed to a profit even though re-
ceipts fell off 100000 per month.
The road has nearly four hundred
miles of track, employs several hun
dred workers and after July the low
est paid employe will receive not less
than Sc. per day of eight hours. That
is the thing that makes managers of
other roads see red and cuss Henry
all over the lot.
Here they have been bowling for
years about the profiteering, overpaid
railroad employe and demanding that
his wages be cut so that they many
show profit when along comes Ford
and in less than year takes losing
road, does less business during the
hard times than was done on the road
dnring good times, makes a profit on
that reduced business, and raises
wages just as the Labor Board cuts
them on other roads.
How does he do it? Just by re-
framing from the practices of those
in control of other roads. Ford owns
the d. T. & l. He is not hired man
put in charge of the. road by financiers
who own concerns that sell rails. steel,
engines, cars and other supplies to
The roads, neither does he fake ex-
penses nor resort to bookkeeping" to
hide profits. He's just a plain, ordi-
NARY citizen who conducts business
on the basis of decency and good
judgment
He was not raised in-or developed
cut of conditions that made lying,
deeeitfulness, willingness to accept a
bribe and general disregard for law
and decency, the requisites for pro
motion, out OF which conditions have

All unnecessary Sunday work on

MANUFACTURER SEES
 BETTER CONDITIONS
Labor Slump Will Be Over in Short Time, Says
 Bridgeporter.

Optimism about labor conditions and expectation that building activities would revive decidedly within three months are expressed by William V. Dee, Bridgeport manufacturer. Mir. Dee spoke particularly about Bridge port, but he has travelled widely not only in this state but through the east, and his observations applied to all the places he has visited.
 Although there are now between 15,OOO and 18,OOO unemployed in Bridge port, according to MT. Dee, an improve ment is already noticeable and CO., operative movement is on foot to pro- vide work for everyone. The members of the Bridgeport Manufacturers Association have joined with the Chamber of Commerce and various charitable organizations in forming a community employment service, the ob- ject of which is to induce Bridgeport residents to have work they were plan ming to do in the spring done at once if possible, in order to relieve present unemployment
