But Now She's Back in Hos
pitaI CroCheting to Aid
Others.

BIZ Times Special
PRINCETON Ind, April %
One of tho heroines of the recent
tornado, Lucinda Watkins, %, is
back home at the Methodist
hospital here. after making her
unique contribution toward relief
Of the storm sufferers.
Lucinda has been a patient at
the hospital for several years.
According 10 her own explana-
ton. corroborated by nurses, her
heart is "gittin' lazy. fer some
reason er other"
Gave Her Place
When the storm brought trag-
edy 10 her community, Lucinda
was too old to join rescue work
ers, and she had no money TO
give. All that she had was her
place in the hospital So she
made that her contribution.
More than seventy victims Of
the cyclone were rushed TO the
little thirty-bed hospital the night
Of the storm. With patients in
the corridors. kitchen, office and
attic. the situation was critical.
Lucinda did not hesitate. As
soon as she saw the proportions OF
the tragedy, she struggled into her
clothes, packed her belongings in
a newspaper, put on her hat. and
left. Her bed and linen were
needed, she reasoned. for cases
more urgent than a chronic heart
disorder. In the confusion, she
slipped out unseen.
Brought Back
After the emergency passed,
search for Lucinda was started.
1t was known she had no relatives.
She was found several miles out
side the city. with an old ac-
quaintance. Informed her bed was
waiting for her, she repacked her
newspaper, put on her hat and re-
turned to the hospital.
That contribution" was fol-
lowed by another. Lucinda has
pledged IS to the $500 900 fund
to be raised for the four Indiana
Methodist hospitals, including her
home" She has no money, but
she can crochet. She will sell her
handiwork to Princeton friends.

SALARY INCREASE
COMES With
PROMOTION

CHICAGO, Sept. 2e.-After a
cay eful survey of the entire labor
situation extending from office boy
to president, indications are that
positions showing Increases in sal
aries require experienced help.
Consulting the president of one
of our largest industries, the writ
er inquired regarding the rapid
success of a certain young man who
had become general manager, and
who few years ago was but office
boy; his answer was, Brown start
ed as office boy, the lowest salaried
position in our office, he was am
bilious and managed to purchase a
typewriter on small monthly pay
m;ents and after three weeks of
practice at home he was promoted
to bill clerk, which position gave
him knowledge of the selling price
of all merchandise. His next ad-
vance was that of typist, which
taught him the numerous forms. of
letter-writing and enabled him to
hold stenographic position, CIV
ing him complete knowledge of let
ter-writing. He was then made Sec
rotary, bringing him into contact
with all business details and, quail
fled him for the general managers
office at ten thousand per year.
The same opportunity awaits ev-
cry young man and woman. Educa-
ton or age have nothing to do with
operating so simple a machine as
the type writer. We are informed
that a great piece of benevolent
work is being carried on by large
Chicago mail order house in fur
nishing typewriters to people wor-
thy of credit, by selling on small
monthly installments, 50 low as to
average about eight cents per day
and actually teaching their custom
ers how to use and operate any tpe-
writer in about three weeks time.
