IS A SMILE WORTH $4,000 ?

The value of a smile has been def
nitely fixed. 1t has been emphasized
as in the slogan of the telephone COM
pany, 1.-THE voice with the smile wins
But 1t remained for an impartial jury
to put a fixed price on the value of a
smile, n Kansas City Jury having
awarded little Jimmy Godfrey, aged
thirteen, a verdict of 100000 for an
injurJ to his face, received from con.
tact with an electric wire, which de
stroyed his power to smile.
Commenting on the verdict, "Ad.
vanced Thought" says: moral: If a
smile is worth $4,000 when you lose
it, it is worth $4,000 when you use
it,
No jury has as yet fixed a price or
the voice with Il e smile over the tele.
phone, but experience has shown that
It is beyond price.

100000 marks gold (s250, ,o00,0 ,000) a
