My FdUorite Stories

Two Conundrums and a
TRAGEDY

| do not know why it is that nearly
all the stories having to do with fru-
guilty should be aimed at the Scot.
Personally, It has always seemed to
me that the Scotch We're not stlngy
race, but rather that they merely had
elevated cannlnesS In business deal-
ings to the nth degree. Your average
Scotchman does not particularly wish
to hoard his money he merely desires
that when he spends 1t he shall obtain
a proper return. But ii one may
Judge by the everbeariug yield of
Scotch stores-or rather, stories
aimed at the Scotch--the world AT
large holds to different view.
You know of course the ancient
conundrum which was printed years
ago in London Punch AS | recall it,
this conundrum ran as follows

The answer was:
"The Englshman hurries to the

Then, here just the other day. a
friend Cred this one at me:

IAN right" | said, "Ill bite; tell
me, Mr. Bones, why have the Scotch
sense of humorg"
Because" he said, "it's a gift"
A still later addition to the crop
has just reached me. 1t is stated that
an Engllshman, standing treat to
Scotchman at pub, recommended
that his guest try some very fine
brandy which the establishment had
in stock at three shillngs drink
With glistening eyes the Scotchman
agreed He waited until the barmaid
had poured out the brandy and then
with sudden leap he bounced upon

DESERTS TO FIGHT AFTER
TIRING OF ROOKIE BATTLES

New York, N. Y.,-T deserted
from the United States Army in
August, 1917, because | was bored
stiff training rockies" declared Jack
w. Davis, standing court-martial at
Governors Island recently. A mo-
ment later he was handed an honor
able discharge from the United
States Army.
An honorable discharge for an adj
mitted deserter is not the usual
procedure, but Jack Davis was an
unusual deserter-he had the fore
sight to go out and build up an
unassailable fighting record before
he took liberties with Uncle Sans
Army regulations.
When Villa, Oregon and Zapata
were staging their fireworks down
| in Mexico, Jack Davis, then a
young "Gringo" of twenty-five,
played around with them "for the
fun of it." Then in 1914 when n
rose on the European horizon, PAWS
saw it and enlisted in the Queens
Own Hussars in Canada. He took
| his business of fighting seriously
now; for bravery at the second
| battle of Ypres he won the coveted
Victoria Cross and was made an
officer in the Queens Own. Later
in 1916 he was decorated with
a Distinguished Service Medal for
heroism at Cambria. He was wound
ed at Cambria and came TO the
United States early in 1917 on a

the Third Battalion of the Cana

and went to Germany to study

When he stepped from the gang

August 5, 1917. He admitted it
but asked to confer with Majol
William Deegan of The American
Legion here, before the court

SERVICE AND COURTESY

Service and courtesy are two lead
ing agencies for success. Mercan-
tile and public service organizations
recognize their value in business.
Following rules are emphasized by
the Portland Electric Power Com
pany.
When the customer comes in with
complaint, don't send him or her
from pillar to post; that irritates.
Classify all complaints.
Study the cause of complaints
eradicate them at their source.
Completeness of your reply is
only one-half courtesy; the manner
of your reply is the other half.
Be polite and pleasant, thus max
ing the party glad he or she called
on you.
Show individuality to each GUS
toner; make him feel he is "Mr
Simpson" and not just one of the
throng.
Get the other fellows point OF
view.
Don't argue, inform.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

As the average business grows,
it's unit cost of production gener-
ally decreases. AS government
grows, its per capita cost in taxa
ton increases in spite of a larger
amount of taxable property. Toes
this mean that private business be-
comes more efficient and government
less efficient, with growth?
