DOROTHY DIX TALKS-How to Succeed

business man told m not long ago that he
estimated that it cost him ten thousand dol
lars year to have the girls in his office
powder their noses every morning. Be on
time in the morning, but don't leave of an
evening until you have finished your job
YOU may do little YORK for which you are
not paid at the moment but later on you
will be rewarded with interest.
6. Don't work with one eye on your job
and the other eye I the altar. Most Girls
never think it worth while to go at their
work seriously because they are expecting 20
get married. That is mistake. In these days
husbands are getting to be rarities, and it is
by no means certain that every young wom-
an will get one. If she doesn't she has lost
out both ways. Therefore, do your work as
if you were going to make life of it. Then,
if the man comes along, it is all right and
If he doesn't come along, 1t is also all right
because you have something interesting to
do, and can provide your own bread and but
ter quite as well husband would be like
ly to do.
Z. Don't be a semi-invalid. Don't always
be having headaches, and nerves, and tele-
phoning down to the office that you can't
come because you have this or that petty i'll.
Keep well, and strong, and husky so you are
physically equal to your job. You know very
well that you can do this if you want to-,
because most of the time when you wake
up with headache it's because you have
eaten imprudently or slept with the windows
closed, and you can generally trace that tired
feeling to having danced too much the night
before. Don't give u. every time you don't
feel fit. Half the time you can work off a
trifling ailment.
s. Don't flirt and bamp in business hours.
9. Don't use the office telephone for your
personal affairs and don't permit your family
or friends to telephone you while you are at
work Nothing so exasperates business man
as to have someone fail to get him on an i'm
portant matter because Mamie or Sadie is
cumming up the wire spooning over it with
her beau. And don't gossip with your chum
while on duty. The girl who has to be torn
away from telling Geraldine about what a
perfectly grand time she had at the party
last night, and what she said, and he said,
every time a customer appears is never the
girl who is slated for promotion.
10. Learn self control Check your feelings
in the cloak room when you arrive in the
morning and don't take them out again until
you put on your hat when you leave in the
evening. Don't be on the lookout for Sights.
Don't fight, and don't weep.
cheerful, amiable personality is one of
the greatest assets that any girl can have in
business, and many fault is overlooked in
the one who has ability to get along peace
ably with her fellow-workers.
These tips will point the way for any girl
to success.

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
THRIFT
By DR.. Frank Crane

War is essentially a revolt against civ
ilization. The impulse that causes it is a
disguise with the slow, constructive efforts
of mortality and a reversal to the brutal
short cut of barbarism.
Perhaps the worst part of war comes
after it is over in the long-continuing
echoes of the moral collapse. Both Eu-
rope and America since the war have been
dominated by a sort of sneering cynicisnl,
distrust and suspicion, which are all brute
qualities and all based upon a disbelief in
that complex of higher motives repr asented
by the fundamentals of Christianity.
One of the prominent teachings Of civili-
cation is thrift 1t took a long while for
evolution to produce in the mind Of man
the purpose to deny himself today for the
benefits of tomorrow. And that is all
thrift is.
The collapse of the German mark, the
Russian ruble and other European cur
rencies may have other causes, but one
cause which is not usually pointed out is
the revolt against thrift.
That class of people in Europe which
suffers the most is composed of those who
have saved money and are trying to live on
their savings. These people are penalized
and impoverished.
That class which is getting along swim
mingly is composed Of wage-earners. These
people have no objection to the mark and
the ruble sinking to the bottom of the sea.
The initiation of currency. the debase-
ment of the value of money, is an encour-
agement to spend every cent you get. The
workers are doing 1t and having a grand
time.
The bald and homely truth of the stu
alton is that Europe is never going to pick
up and become normal again until people
cease throwing their money away with both
fists and begin to save.
And through the 1neddling of govern
ments, the madness of politicians and the
stupidity of inflamed nationalisms, there is
not the slightest inducement for anybody
to save.
Judging from the past, the only way
out will be eventual smash-up revolution,
and, at the last, some sort Of strong-man
autocracy which society will adopt to pre-
serve itself from utter humiliation.
The present policies of France and Of
Russia point to Napoleonism.

Stab1er Prices, Better Times

"HE prediction of New York observers
/ that prices for commodities will become
stabilized this autumn to greater ex-
tent than for many seasons gone gains likeli-
hood from developments of the recent past,
as well as from the present trend. Some days
ago The Journal directed attention to records
showing that for four consecutive months
there had been no col siderable change in the
average of living costs, while in the year pre-
ceding there had been substantial declines.
July of 1920 marked the pinnacle of prices.
They then stood, in comparison with July,
1914, as 204.5 to 100, while July, 1921, reg
istered 1881. Now note the curve for the
current year: January, 1922, 1914; Feb
ruary, 1877; March, 154.7; April, 154.S;
Ma 154.9; June, 1854; July, 1856. From
the peak of 1920 to midsummer of the pres
ant year clothing prices fell from 2S8 to 154
and food from 219 t. 142, these two being of
all reductions the largest. The general aver
age of living costs IS computed to be cut
twenty-four per cent lower than 1920 crest,
but fifty-five and six-tenths per cent higher
than in the valley .-ear of 1914.
Looking backward and then forward from
this plateau, trained observers now forecast a
further price climb il the months ahead, con-
sequent upon certain wage increases, sus-
tanned fuel costs, and augmented buying and
selling. A wise industrial and business lead
ership may be depended upon to prevent, in
so far as it can, recurrence of Initiation; nor
is there serious apprehension of that misfor-
sdnes Detailing. Contrariwise, it is expected
that the not excessive increases to come will
put fresh stability into general price condi-
tions-greater stability, as our New York
correspondent declares, ethan at any time in
two years. This may well compensate cor a
price advance which is not too far-going. 1t
was, largely, the uns badness of prices that
did harm in the period of reaction from war
times. Neither consumer nor producer nor
merchant could tell what might happen from
month to month; in consequence whereof
there was decentralization from which the
many suffered. The further we can get from
such conditions and the surer we can be that
they will not recur the better for all interests.
1t is heartening, then, that those H. POSI-
tion to see most cleally ahead expect stabil-
lied if somewhat higher prices. Every adj
vance," says an authority, sis now safeguard
ed from excess by the buying public, which
gives evidence of determination to do without
rather than purchase at prices deemed exorbi-
tant." Witt this protecting power on guard,
the benefits of sterilization should be felt by
farmers, by manufacturers, by distributors,
and, as well, by consumers. Despite certain
disturbing factors the industrial and business
prospect appears better than for seasons gone
and gives tang Of cheer to the oncoming
autumn.

DISEASE IN ANTIQUITY,
By II. Addington Bruce
TINE facts of paleopathology-the

| " HE facts of paleopathology-the name
given to scientific study of disease
signs in the remains Of our early an
| cestors-hardly bear out the widespread be-
| lief that twentieth century people are pc
culiarly subject to maladies unknown, or al
most unknown, in primitive times. Even dis
eases stigmatized as directly o. indirectly the
! product of modern living habits Of an unhy-
| gienic ..ort are found to have been direfully
potent in the long ago.
| Take arteriosclerosis, for example,
| Popularity this is regarded as distinctly a
disease of modernity, chiefly due to the
stresses of modern living, excessive meat eat
| ing, excessive use of tobacco, etc. And no
| doubt these do contribute to the occurrence
| Of arteriosclerosis today.
Medical examination of Egyptian mum
mics shows that arteriosclerosis was common
to the earliest dynasties, when people GER
tainly were not excessive meat eaters, addict
ed unduly to tobacco or overtaxed by the
stressful conditions that now exist
AS with arteriosclerosis so with another
modern" disease, the disease of chronic oral
sepsis, with its varied manifestations or Sc
quels in dental decay, dental assesses, ton
sillar disease, rheumatic heart disease,
rheumatism of the joints, and so forth.
Rheumatism of the most Gripping sort was
| rife among the Egyptians thousands of years
before the Christian era. Dental disease
| seems to have been even more prevalent In
ded, there has been obtained evidence that
dental disease and it's dread after-effects have
a history far antedating the civilization of
Egypt.
In a London museum there are a fossil
skull and other bones found last year in
Rhodesia, the remains of prehistoric man
attributed to the late Pleistocene period. The
| teeth are badly decayed, there are indications
of numerous dental assesses and the condi-
ton of leg-bone suggests joint rheuma-
tism, presumably the result of chronic oral
sepsis.
This unhappy early Rhodesian. it would
further appear, suffered from mastold alb
scess, thought by experts to have been the
immediate cause of his death. In any case,
he was victim Of disease conditions much
in evidence at the present time, and by many
believed to have been not at all in evidence in
remote times.
monia and smallpox were active il the lands
Of antiquity Joint tuberculosis has seen
traced back 5000 years, and ricketts, 5000
years.
So that, altogether, paleopathology has
provided us with much interesting and I'M
expected information and not little food
for thought. In the words of one medical
writer, commenting on it's findings:
cit reveals that men in bygone times were
mmonly stiff and old by the time they had
reached fifty, and that the good old days
were not so good from the sanitarians stand
point. And we find that royalty was of very
common clay, kings with extremely bad teeth
and gums, queens bald of head, and even-we
blush to say it-princesses with nits in their
hair"

A YOUNG girl who is just starting out in
n business asks me if 1 can give her any
tips on how to succeed.
Here are ten rules that, faithfully followed,
will enable any girl to climb to the top of her
own individual ladder:
1. Sit down quietly and made a cold and
dispassionate study Of your own talents and
tastes, and try to find out what nature in
tended you to do. Don't take up some occu-
patton for which you have no turn because
you think it is romantic, or aristocratic. If
God did not make you writer, or a musician,
or an artist you cannot make yourself one,
no matter how hard you try.
2. Choose the kind of work you like to do,
for the only work We do well is congenial
work. We never begrudge the time or trouble
we put in >on doing the thing we enjoy doing.
We are pretty sure to fail at any occupation
where the pleasure of doing our task isn't
half the pay.
3. Take the time and trouble to learn how
to do the thing you undertake to do thor
oughly. Make yourself expert in it. The
trade schools heN6e proven that they can take
any girl of ordinary ability and by thorough
ly teaching her how to do the thing she is
trying to do, can double her efficiency and
her earning capacity.
You have to work just as many hours and
put in as many ticks doing a thing badly
as in doing it well. The difference lies in
the results. Good work means good pcy, poor
kind Of work that draws down the fat envel-
ope on Saturday night.
3. Dress your part. When you come to
work look like an efficient business woman
instead of chorus girl, who has just strayed
in from midnight frolic. You wouldn't have
much faith in the business ability of man
who came to work in his dress suit. No more
will anyone believe that you are anything but
a fluffy ruffles if yo- are jingling with jew
elry, and have your hair combed like a
hoora's nest, and wear shoes that keep your
mind so concentrated on how your feet hurt
you cannot think of anything else.
4. Put punch i. your work. Put your
heart in it. Take some interest in what you
are doing. You can't realize how depressing
is to an employer to dictate letters to a
stenographer who yawns over them, and who
doesn't care whether she gets them right or
not.
It's the salesgirl who takes personal in
terest in her customers, and who hunts UP the
things they want, who gets to be the head
of the department, not the lackadaisical
young woman who says, 1--WE haven't got it, .
without ever taking the trouble to even look
for the desired article.
5. Be prompt. Being fifteen minutes late
may seem a small matter to you but when
you multiply it by :. hundred girls who are
fifteen minutes late getting to work it loses
lot of valuable time for an office. big

Valiant Trencherme,,
II HAT voracious seeker of human odd
ments who signs himself albert APP

pie" and for aught we know may real
ly be named Alberta Ounce, has discovered
that when Peter the Great and his retinue
stopped for breakfast at the village of God
aiming in England, one appetizing morn in
the year 1898, their order ran in this wise:
"Half sheep, quarter of a lamb, ten pull
lets, twelve chickens, eighty-fou" eggs, three
quarts of brandy and sixteen quarts of wine. "
Whether it was English air or Russian zest
that spurred on these valiant trenchermen,
they were nothing daunted when suppertime
arrived. For that meal they ate: Forty-two
pounds of beef, fifty-six pounds of mutton,
three quarters of lamb, loin and shoulder
of veal, eight chickens, and eight rabbits
topped off with two and forty bottles of
wine.''
When Marc Antony was philandering in
Egypt he would have "eight wild boars roast
ed whole at a breakfast, and but twelve per-
sons there" So, at least reports Shake
speare, whose imagination is more trust
worthy than the eyes of most chroniclers.
Evidently, however, the bard had witnessed
some doughty feeding in his native isle. How
elsewise could he have portrayed Sir Jack,
OF whom the derisive Prince would say, "Fal-
staff sweats to death, and lards the lean
earth as he walks along
Merry England was ever a large victuaIer.
In Pickwick there is not so much as half a
chapter in which the anna ole hero and his
satellites do not eat, and hardly para graph
ir which somebody does not drink The
Pickwickian wine list, if memoir serves u.s.
contains one hundred and forty-three dis
tinct beverages, from negus to dogs nose;
and no one has yet been found to number
the viands.
Hale times and hearty! But how in the
name of Epicurus did they ever find time OF
room for that rigorous process which we
weaklingS of today term thinking?

The Call to Save Austria
y HE critical condition of Austria is a
matter not alone for sympathy but for

practical concern on the part of all
nations, the United States no less than those
of Europe. That the frail republican sur
vivor of the once powerful monarchy is on
the verge of ruin and death is not to be
doubted. Reports from all sides, from Paris
and London as well as from Vienna, con-
firm the gravity of the case The impover-
ishment long felt by the mass of the people
now grips the government and foreshadows
a day when political, along with financial
functioning, will cease altogether Worse
than bankruptcy impends-chaos, anarchy,
and we know not what vast conflagrations.
Said President Harding, in the summer of
his prediction campaign: 81 yield to man
in willingness, aye, in eagerness, to render
the greatest conceivable assistance to the
stricken peoples OIL Europe. / include all of
them, and speak with a genuinely sympa-
thetic heart, whether it is to mention dew
astated France or Austria That SEN
timent the President might we'll recall today
and fashion it into policy Of sagacious as
well as benevolent craftsmanship. For it is
no more appeal for pity that rises from that
distressed region, but CAL to the world s
wisdom to deal with a world peril If it was
worth while to summon a conference on
naval disarmament to relieve a strain and
preVenL a bankruptcy which in prostrating
Europe would have seriously weakened Amer
lea, surely it is worth while to take thought
and action on an economic crisis which is
equally as menaclng and even more urgent.
Just what can be done to tide Austria
over her acute needs competent counsel alone
can say. But certainly the United States,
with its far-reaching economic and financial
interests in the general European problem
can do something by way of aid: at least,
it's Government can cooperate with willing
hands on the other side. This does not ne
essarily imply loan; but it does imply rec
ognition of the truth that neither can the
nation INTO itself hp
mightiest live unto itself only, in security
and honor.

The Forgotten Man .
p ITH keen appositeness to certain
problems of the day the New York

w pr Of the day the New
World recalls lecture given some
forty years ago by Professor William Sum-
ner, of Yale, which has taken its place
among the classics of political economy.
1.-THE Forgotten Man. it is entitled. Wealth,
runs the theme comes only from production;
and who is he that provides it?
go and find him, and you will have
once more before you the Forgotten
Man. You will find him hard at work
because he has a great many to support.
He has to get out of the soil enough to
pay all his taxes, and that means the
cost of all the jobs. He is delving
away in patient industry, supporting his
family, casting his vote, reading his
newspaper, and cheering for the politi-
clan Of his admiration; but he is the
only one for whom there is no provision
in the great scramble and the big di-
vide. Such is the Forgotten Man. He
works, he votes, generally he prays-
but he always pays-yes, above all, he
pays"
Within the decades that have passed since
those penetrating words were spoken much
has been done for the betterment of the COM
mon lot Let not this fact be- overlooked.
There Is more OF social justice, more OF eco
nomic righteousness in America today than
in the closing quarter of the last century
ministration alone were enacted laws that
marked an epoch in the protection of hui
man rights, the conservation of human in
terests; laws which never would have found
place in the statute books had there not been
deep stirring of the national conscience and
in truth a new birth Of freedom. Who
pleads in America today for destructive dis
content is unworthy to be heard and unsafe
to follow.
Yes, the Forgotten Man is with us still,
working on as patient as of yore, bearing the
burdens, supplying the sinews, keeping the
faith of his country, and receiving by way of
thanks a tariff bill to increase his cost of
living and transportation tie-up to multiply
the wrinkles of his brow. He makes no
threats, maintains no lobby, has no knack
to profiteer. He il unorganized, is this For
gotten Man, and hence gets scant considera-
ton from either the neither or the upper mill
stone. He inspires no awe in the politician
and little interest in the agitator. Bourbon
and Bolshevist alike despise him. Yet, it
was he who tanned the wilderness of these
New World shores, and toiled his way to
the golden waters of the west, and brought a
mighty nation into being. He it is who paid
for America, and pays still-this MAN for

VIII Rest the Face

''Smile awhile, and give your face rest'
is the opening line of a familiar song heard
at luncheons and among vacation groups.
Truly there is nothing that will rest the face
like an easy, unrestrained smile And there
is no relaxation of the body equal to a real
laugh. Some are too dignified to turn them
selves loose with the fellows who take their

that is good for the health and tones up the
disposition The fellow who laughs heartily
and sings with enthusiasm may have some
