YOUTH HEADS BUSINESS
 WORTH FULLY S2,OOO,OO0
t7-iear-Old Lucicn J. DeInottc Is President of the House Of De-
 motte Big Art Concern

! New York. Jan. 3,--IIis boy chums l call him just plain "I.uke," but ! wealthy art connoisseurs. bankers of several nations and business associates address him more respectfully. for to them he is Iucicn ]. Denote, IT, year-old president of the House of Demotte. s2.000,000 art concern To- cated in this city.
 Young Denote is dark haired, scft ft-spoken acsthetic-looking son Of France. with more the air of a stu dent than of successful man of af- fairs. Fate cut short his hoyhood and shouldered him with q mans respon- abilities.
 Last summer, when life to this boy meant nothing more than pleasant days with q tutor in his ancestral home near PaTs, his father, George Joseph Denote, founder of the New York house of art, was accidentally shot and killed in a boar hunt in France. As is the French custom, the youth had been trained to tread his fathers footsteps. He had been reared on art in tn" old Denote mansion on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of ancient furniture and statuary his ancestors had accumu- lated from the mediaeval castles of France.
 My father always talked to mo of art" says Lucien. Then. too, I had access to his library on Gothic art. We often went on tours of France to- gcther, visiting old churches and hunting through remote places for sculptures, wood carvings and other antiques with which 10 build up our collection"
 The death of the elder Denote ended the carefrce existence of his son. A month ago Lucien came to America. He was elected president of his fathers corporation and given full authority to manage the busi- ness.
 "It is my plan to conduct our at- fairs just as my father did" he said. "I shall return to France each year and bring to America those beautiful works of Gothic art which your col lectors have always so greatly ad- mired."

politics. nor are present-day German politicians in much favor. It is not sunushal to hear Germans express the wish that they had an iron listed man after the style of Poincare. Much as he is hated for his unswerying course against Germany, there is great ad- miration among Germans for his firmness. He typifies the old Iron Chancellor.
 Letter writers and essayists are hard at work, but they do not seem to develop leader whom they can sell to the German public, anxious as it is to find superman to cure all of Germany's ills.
 4 writer in the Berlin "Illustrierte Zeitung" shows a decided preference for man of the Cromwell type, as he really marks 'the beginning of British world-power and is the type of protector and founder any nation could be proud off, The writer sug- gests that Cromwell had the sunken temples of a great fanatic, and the powerful chin which goes with a

COACH FOR CHANCE
 IN FOOTBALL CODES
Amendments Would Make Il Pos. sible for International Games

Boston, Jan. %.--Tnteruational in. fercollegiate football contests betwrer American and Canadian colleges would b. made entirely practicable bS certain minor changes in both codes el rules, in the opinion of Frank Shaushncssy. coach of McGill uni Nersity. Montreal. Shauehnessy, a former Notrc Dame football star who Is now manager of the Syracuse In- ternational league baseball club in addition To his coaching duties at Montreal, came here in connection with the impending inNasions of the McGill hockey team.
 Speaking from his experiences in football on both sides Of the border, he said the chief obstacle to q com mon basis for the sport was the diff ference in the rules regarding inter ference. In the Canadian gam" the offensive team must gain ten yards in three downs while in the United States q team is given four downs to gain the same distance. In Canada interference also is restricted to three yards in front of the line Of scrim- mage. and only men within one yard Of the line when the ball Is put into play are allowed to interfere. Here interference is unlimited
 The McGill coach said he believed that modification of the Canadian rules regarding interference to con- form to American standards would henef1t the game there. He also took the stand that introduction of the forward pass into the Canadian game would be beneficial and that adoption of the Canadian rules regarding kick ing behind an opponents goal line would help the American game. In Canada kicking behind the opposing teams goal counts for n single point if the opponent is unable to carry or kick out on the playing field.
 American players as a rule. accord ing to Shaughnessy, are superior 10 Canadian in line play and line plung- ing, but Canadians excel in open field running and kicking.
 The appearance Of the McGill foot ball team against Dartmouth at Ham over next fall will mark its first ap- pearance in New England in many years. although MeGill is credited with having introduced the rugby game in the United States in a con test with Harvard in 1874.

Possibility Of Dark Horse Leading the Country Out of It's Troubles
 Is Gcrmany's Hope.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-The question of dictatorship, and the possibility of some dark horse bursting upon the horizon and leading the country out of its sore troubles, seems uppermost today in the mind of the average German.
 Affairs have gone so badly since the Ruhr occupation that Germans are universally seeking some unseen force which can make the life of the average man more endurable. There is yearning for Julius Caesar or a Cromwell, or even a Mussolini. And there is a general distrust of

STUDYING BEETLE
NEW PESTS ATTACKING COT

LITTLE KNOWN OF BUG.

Ira w Williams, state entomolo-
gist, accompanied by several members
OF his staff. have been in Sumter

flea, but is designated by the state en-
tomologist as the cotton flea beetle.
1t is new bug and little IS known
OF its lie or habits, said Mr.. Will

A NEW USE FOR THE
OLD LAW OF AVERAGES
MARRIED MEN PREFERRED TO
BACHELORS; FIVE Chill
DREN AN INCENTIVE.

When you hire a salesman are you
sure he'll be producer or must you
wait for time and his sales to justify
your judgment? The Phoenix Mutual
Life Insurance Company has taken
the guess out OF such an important
matter, and is fundamentally certain
that the men it engages will make
good, says The Nations Business.
1t applies the law OF averages to
every applicant for a position and
finds out, among other things, the fol-
lowing;
What is the age OF the man seeking
employment? If he is between 80 and
SO his chances for success are best
How many children has he? AS
many as five are regarded as an in
centive; any more are rated handi-
cap.
How many years OF selling expert
ence has he had? The man with six
is preferable to one with three or
twelve.
Is he a "joiner?" Membership in or
CARNATIONS is point in his favor and
to hold office, in addition, raises his
score.
Is he a home owner? If he is he has
the advantage over the renter apply
ing for the same position.
Has he investments in stocks and
bonds? The man who saves, no matter
how little, is regarded as a far more
desirable prospect than he who spends
all he earns.
From this and other information
this employer knows exactly just
what are the applicants chances for
success. how much business he will
bring in, what he is worth to the con-
Germ and to himself.

WOMAN MAKES rs
THOUSAND A YEAR
MRS. BOYER, OF CHICAGO, IS
BOSS" OF THREE THOUS-
AND MEN. RUNS HOME.

CHICAGO.-The highest salaried
business woman in Chicago-and one
Of the highest paid in the worlds
Mrs. {. H. Boyer.
As superintendent OF agents tor the
United States National Lie Insurance
Company she gives orders to more
men than any other woman IN the
country
For thirty years Mrs Boyer has
been "bossing" from 1000 to 5000 &C
cident insurance agents.
With her husband {. H. Boyer she
has built up and directed two large
accident insurance companies, at all
times having complete charge OF the
field force OF agents, determining their
politics and sales methods.
Side by Side.
Thirty years ago IN Philadelphia she
decided to enter business with her
husband. Since that day she has work.
ed side by side with him i'll his office
with the exception OF few months
when she remained at home to bring
two children into the world and rear
them through the first weeks OF their
infancy. She has at all times maintain
ed her home as though she had TWEEN
ty-four hours a day for such duties.
The first company OF the Boyers
was the General Accident Fire and
Life Insurance Corporation with which
she remained seventeen years until
Albert NJ. Johnson. millionaire presi-
dent of the National Life Insurance
Company OF the L. S. A.. persuaded
the Boyers to come to Chicago, thir-
teen years ago, and launch an acct
dent insurance department OF his COM
pany.
Beginning at the bottom she and
her husband, who is vice president
and general manager OF the company,
built up the accident branch OF the
National until last year it was made
an independent corporation.
Mrs. Boyer gets $4,000 year. Ac-
cordng to Mr.. Johnson she is the
highest salaried woman in Chicago,
probably in the whole country, and
has unquestionably directed the bust
ness activities of more men than any
other woman in American history.
Men do not object to working for
woman or to taking orders from
them so long as the orders are given
quietly and straightforwardly," says
Mrs. Boyer They never complain
about their wives so long as the wo-
men folk keep the house running
smoothly, efficiently and comfortably.
q try to keep the business affairs
of my department in just that shape.
Men can find out what they want to
know quickly and without fuss in my
office. When | send out orders they
are put simply and clearly. Men have
never objected to me on the grounds
OF my sex, They have been uniformly
courteous.
Il believe any woman has plenty
of time to work eight hours in any
office if she will order her home life
and housework."

The imperial wizard characterized
the east as the stronghold OF alien

I'VE did not lose a single suit; not
one effective anti-klan law was pass
