SALARY INCREASE
COMES With
PROMOTION

CHICAGO. Sept. 2S.-After
careful survey Of the entirs labor
situation extending from office bow
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 certain young man who
had become general manager. and
who a 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
n.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
uOld q 0CSilOSl dpil4C pOSlllOQ, 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 Ger 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, So low as to
average about eight cents per day
and actually teaching thei. custom
ers how to use and operate any tpe-
writer in about three weeks time.

CHURCHES URGE ARMISTICE DAY
 SERVICES U. s.
SERVICES ON ARMiSTICE DAY COMMENDED THROUGHOUT
 THE ENTIRE NATION

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 5 (P)- Appealing to the churches of America to use Armistice Sunday, November 8, and Armistice Day for the promotion of world understanding, world good will, world justice and world peace, the Commission on International Jus tice and Goodwill of the Federal COun- cil of Churches calls upon Christians to outspokenly and determinedly SUD- port President Coolidge in his efforts against war and in behalf of interna- tional friendship and understanding.
 The appeal is going to thousands of congregations. The churches are urg- ing that Armistice Day shall be fit tingly observed for world peace by Christian patriots throughout the na- tion, religious leaders declare It is the answer, they claim, to the attempt to militarize the day.
 President Coolidge has rendered the nation an immeasurable service by pre- serving Armistice Day for it's high moral and spiritual significance.
 By refusing to authorize it's use as day for war preparations, and by the declaration in his letter to Gen. eral Drain, head of the American Le- zion that Armistice Day had been dedicated by 500O0 American dead to the interests of World Peace, Presi- dent Coolidge has kept the way open for observing the anniversary of the closing of the most terrible war of all time as the unique day on which to fo- GUS the thought of the nation on the problems of world peace and on the practical way of achieving it.
 The Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches, accordingly comments to the churches in every community the observance of Armistice Day, in cooperation with the various groups and organizations, civic, business, labor and patriotic
 The committee also comments to the churches the importance of stress ing on Sunday, November 8, in the services and in the Sunday schools, those practical measures and those ethical and spiritual forces which are essential to the achievement of a
 warless world

FINE ROMANTIC
 PICTURE DRAMA
"UNGUARDED WoMEN," A STORY WITH A MORAL, DUE AT
 LIBERTY THEATRE

"Unguarded Women" is the title of i the picture scheduled for showing at the Liberty Theatre tonight. It feat ufes Bebe Daniels, Richard Dix and Mary Astor, with Walter McGrail, Frank Losee Helen Lindroth, Harry Mestayer, Donald Ha1l Joe King and others playing in support. The story was adapted by James Creelman from the Saturday Evening Post Story, 1 Face" by Lucy Stone Terrill It tells of young man who gives up the girl he loves to marry another for whose social position he feels himself di- rectly responsible.
 The story is only too we'll known to the readers of the Post. It literally overran with picture possibilities and Paramount took advantage of each and every one of them in making the screen version of the tale. The scenes are laid for the most part in Pekin, China,-colorful Pekin in the land of romance and adventure. Then, too there are scenes on Long Island, with gorgeous homes and fashionable gowns.
 If ever there was a picture that holds an audiences interest from ti- tie to final fadeout, "Unguarded Wo- men" is it. It has everything a screen success should have and then some. If you had to walk five miles to get to the Liberty you would not regret it after seeing this one. Sure-fire 1 You bet.
