Gold in the Streets

It Is said that jewellers in the Aus
tralian cities are seldom surprised
when gold is discovered in the
streets OF prominent country towns
At olympic Queensland, the local
council for years permitted a large
boulder to remain in the chief
thoroughfare. 1t was a relic of the
early pioneering days. Timber get
tiers and Transfers used II as a rest
ing place. Children played around it
One day a tipey blacksmith dealt ii
a blow with a sledge hammer. AS a
result the boulder split in pieces, re-
vealing rich veins Of gold in the
seams and crannies.
Many Australian mining towns
were built in hurry. Expensive
structures were erected on centrally
situated sites, while the attention of
miners and others was concentrated
on the fortunes OF out lying reefs
and claims.
The haphazard treatment of mine
tailings was shown in the case of the
immigrant who made bricks for his
house from red clay thrown from
nearby workings.
About a year after lie had built
his house the immigrant discovered
that the bricks We're being surrept-
itiously taken from his outside walls.
Hiding one night in the garden, he
caught a Chinese In the act of pull
ling bricks from the growing gap in
the wall

Telephone Courtesy

Two of the commonests utilities in
business are the telephone and the
telegraph, and yet in the daily use
of both of these devices, in most con-
Germs, there are many opportunities
to effect improvements. Every bust
ness manager should have each Of
his employees understand that when
the number they have called is OBJ
tanned, their personality is then put
upon the wire. They are not face
to face, but voice to voice, which is
more important, for the telephone
usually reflects our moods through
accents and infections of the voice
no less truly than do our facial ex-
pressions. When an employee talks
over the phone concerning company
matters, he is "the company" to the
person with whom he is speaking. 1t
is in his power to win or lose friends
for the corporation that pays for
his services. 1t isn't always what
Is said, but rather how it is said, that
counts. Courtesy is The refining oil
that lubricates daily affairs, and the
more of it we give away, the more we
have on hand.
It Is we'll to remember the~story Of
the customer who called certain
company on the phone, and when
the private switchboard operator de-
manded sharply, "yyho are your" re-
piled, Il am man who is through
doing business with your concern as

Mass. State Fuel
Official Advises
on High Coal Price

Boston, July 25.-Eugene C.. Hult-
man, state fuel administrator, advised
tie Massachusetts, citizens not to be
stampeded into paying high prices for
coal In a statement sent today to the
mayors and boards of selectmen of the
cities and towns of the state. Fear
OF possible shortage. he said, was
driving consumers to hoard coal, and
fear of loss Of business was forcing
dealers to bid against one another in
the market. He added that this fear
was used by interruptions elements in
the coal trade to increase prices and
to facilitate sales.
Only one-half of the supply Of an
thracite needed for next winter can be
mined before Sept. /. Mr.. Huffman
stated, and advised the purchase of
one-half anthracite and one-half low
volatile bituminous coal by household
ers. Anthracite transportation has
only been slightly affected and no car
shortage now exists, he stated.
There is no rea son to- fear that
the people of the state will freeze to
death next winter for lack of domestic
fuel" he added

Toole Of Winthrop was forbidden to
register or use a plane in Massa-

sons, Registrar Goodwin stated, the

Safety Zone HELPS Trade

The proprietor of a candy store at
the edge of the retail section on the
principal street of Western city
noted with pleasure that business
was spreading up the street beyond
his store. This would make more peo-
pie pass his doors and consequently
he would sell more candy, to say
nothing Of making more money. He
could look out at the front door and
see the increase in automobile traffic,
and he supposed that there was a
similar increase in foot traffic. But
for some reason he failed to sell any
more candy. To the contrary, his
sales dropped. He. couldn't under
stand it.
There were the new stores and
theatres up beyond his shop pulling
people in that direction. The street
was as jammed with autos as Fifth
ave, and And st. To see just how
much foot traffic had increased, he
put two men to work counting the
pedestrians He was shocked to
learn that the traffic on his side of
the street had decreased. He dis
covered that block beyond him was a
fiatiron corner, where the automo-
biles were SO thick that the crossing
was dangerous. People walking up
the street purposely chose the other
side because it happened that the
dangerous traffic spot was only on
the one side.
The candy man then grew intensely
interested in the sad lot of the pedes-
trians. He went to the head of an
accident insurance company and got
him interested. These two then went
to the Police Department and de-
manded that for the sake of hu-
manity a safety zone be established
at the dangerous crossing to divert
part of the automobile traffic and
make it safe for humans to walk
there.
The police official recognized that
here was a citizen actuated by the
highest humanitarian motives, COM
planning of a menace that ought to
be remedied. He ordered <lle safety
zone established. Within a week the
pedestrians traffic past the candy
store had almost doubled and the
candy sales showed proportionate
increase.-The Nations Business.
