TT IS needless to point
out why furniture for

Foresight is better than

for a Summer home that he
knows, from its price or
from his own judgment OF
qualities, to be not likely
to Withstand wear or crit

BUSINESS IN WEST IS OOPER CENT
 BETTER MEYER
Survey of Twenty States, Made at Harding's Request, Shows Wonderful
 Improvement
By Associated Press

Washington. April 15.-Business conditions in the west and southwest have improved 100 per cent over last fall, Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the War Finance corpora tion, declared today upon his return from survey of 20 states west of the Mississippi made at the request Of President Harding.
 "Easied money in the east is bring ing money on land mortgages into the west for the first time in long time" said Mir Meyer.
 Extraordinarily" he added "the out look for crop planting is little late but this is more than compensated for by the prevailing moisture"
 The larger banks throughout the west, he asserted. report conditions as much improved, but the smaller banks are dependent on the outcome of the years harvest. Farmers will be able, he added, to puroduce the cheapest crop in years as there is satisfactory supply of labor in evil clence with increased efficiency.
 The buying power of the farmers. Mir. Meyer asserted, will be somewhat restricted this year as they are buy ing only necessities.
 Improvement in the corn belt, he said, is reflected in the advertising in newspapers and farm journals. In the northwest cattle country he said he found evidences of increased buy ing.
 Mir. Meyer said it was too early to indicate cotton prospects for the coming year although the remainder of last years crop Is being moved in an orderly manner. Some railroad construction. he declared, is starting up in the southwest for the first time in five years and a moderate but dis tinct movement of homeseekers to the southwest has begun.
 MT Meyer announced that for the past three weeks the war finance corporation loans had been less than repayments, disbursements and repay ment for the period approximating about S15, ,000, 900.

While most people love children, taking care of them hour upon hour is different matter.
 But that never bores Miss Hattie Coplan, who Is one of the most suc- cessful teachers in all of big. old, mountainous Birmingham
 Here's how she has succeeded:
 Lets the children climb all over her. lay their heads on her arm. tell her their troubles, makes them play when they get restless.
 And then right when they are least expecting 1t, she injects knowledge painlessly.
 They never know how they have learnedl
 They get wise, and
 It just happened!
 You see, she has the bitty children the ones who have never attended school in their lives.

 Miss Coplans heart-even before her head-knows every move in the play. If you doubt, ask Mrs. Nor timer Jordan. Miss Jordan's children have taken their first school steps under Miss Coplan's Jurisdiction. She'll tell you

 "And-'-she paused-"the clever est part of it all is that the children she instructs get an idea school is a fine place. They do not hate it. She does not let it grow tedious to them"

7CCESSFUL BUSINESS WOMEN OF BIRMINGHAM

Now. while Miss Coplan believes in love of every variety for her. children. she never lies to them. She thus sets an example of truth. which she also requires from them. While she Encourages children by little compli- ments concerning their work when a child is not doing his best, he hears from her.
 For instance, not long ago there was a little girl who was not study ing, but kept failing in her lessons. She was a very affectionate little creature, and devoted to Miss Coplan, but the day rolled around that some thing firm had to be said:
 Elizabeth Marie" stated Miss Cop Ian, You're not trying!"
 Wanted It Taken Back
 It touched the little girls heart. She began to cry; to weep copiously. She rushed and put her arms around Miss Coplans neck. She screamed. She walled. Miss Coplan did not push her away. She let her cry right on.
 You said I wasn't trying" the child howled accusingly.
 Its true, dear" responded the much tried teacher, and stuck to her story "Also, I'm very sorry"
 The result was that the little girl realized walling was no good. Fi- nafIy she began to inquire what she must do. Being told, she listened very carefully this time, and follow Ing 1t, began to apply her herself. That child is now student. The in- cident made the youngster think.
 It is through the channels of some thing a child likes-say birds or anil mals, or other youthful hobby-that Miss Coplan first gets a pupils inter est. Many lessons have to be taught along this already blazed path. If a child tells Miss Coplan some inci- dent of her home life, or what her mama doesn't like her to do, Miss Coplan also takes the medium.
 Two Strong
 Now you know you told me your mother doesn't like"
 And thus the argument has double weight.
 Miss Coplan said cooperation of the parents means so much to her work. She thinks all children are good; that they are real human beings; that they are just mischie- vious instead of being bad, and that they'll come out all right if you're square. They're great readers of their teacher, too, she knows. Days when she is blue. or sad, or is i'll. they seem tO SSHSS It. dS SoOn dS SHe pe- gins work. They strive to be better children days when she has head aches.
 Miss Coplan actually takes the re- sponsibility of children. They're hers. She isn't working with them just because she gets S1,000,000 minute for teaching them (you know what frightfully fat salaries teach CTS get. but because she actually is growing folks" She's moulding and training them, batting their minds into shape, and making them strong to bear their responsibilities as later citizens
