PLAYTIME IS HERE.

Those who believe that en- joyment of life is the shortest road to everlasting torment should find little hope for the salvation of the American people of this generation. In fact it is not infrequently ru- mored about by those who look askance upon a smiling countenance that the United States is even now passing through the several stages of the decline and fall.
 Surely no country, not even Ancient Greece and the Ro- mans, was ever more abund- antly provided with the pleas ures of life and relieved of more of life's miseries and dis comforts than America.
 Like the woman upon the white horse" of the nursery rhyme, the people of the Unit ed States with their phono- graphs, pianos and piano-play- CTS, radio, orchestras and oth- CT music makers have music wherever they go. There are pastimes to attract people and more leisure to give to those pastimes. This summer millions of men and women in the United States are partici- pating in numerous sports and recreations, highways are con- gested with motorists pleasure bent, vacation resorts are heav- fly patronized and the base ball parks and race tracks and pleasure parks draw their usu- al crowds.
 But why should this love of pleasure be cause for anything but satisfaction? To avail him. self of all this play the individ- ual must work the harder and faster, for it costs real dol lars and many of them to play in this big playground. And when people work harder they need more play. Those who work must play.

WHAT NEWSPAPER
 ADS. DID


 It was only a few years ago that the retail stores in towns and the smaller cities did the bulk of their weeks business on Saturday. While the other five business days might have paid expenses the merchant depended upon the Saturday sales for the major portion of his weeks profit. Needless to say the average merchant would have been exempt from excess profits taxes in those days.
 The newspaper is given cred it for discovering the possibili- ty of scattering the Saturday peak load over the six business days of the week and it was newspaper advertising which has achieved the present more equitable distribution of the weeks business. Saturday is still the merchants busy day, but now he is only a little less busy on the preceding five days.
 This is only one of the many services performed for busi- ness by newspaper advertising. It is irrefutable that a great part of the increase in business

A GOOD FRIEND

Good news, indeed, is the an- nouncement of Charles D. Gar field that tn e Seattle Chamber of Commerce desires to CO., operate with the local Cham Der of Commerce and people in matters affecting the well fare and development of the district and seeks local sug- gestions to that end. Coming from one of the largest and most powerful commercial or- ganizations in the United States and, furthermore, one which has long since demon strated by actual deeds it's desire to help the Territdry, in any way possible, the offer is one that means a great deal to the district.
 More than once during a long period of watching the pro- gress of Alaskan affairs we have seen this great and high ly influential Seattle organi- Zation come to the aid of an Alaska project and rem der invaluable assistance to- ward it's consummation; and time and again have we seen it rescue a worthy need from the certain oblivion of Wash ington pigeon holes and bring it to official attention and suc- cess. Long years of splendid service in behalf of Alaska and Alaskan development has demonstrated that it is an or- ganization of deeds rather than of words and fully lives up to it's policy of "doing for Alaska those things which Alaskans desire" It is ill ev- cry sense "a friend at court" for everything that promises to further the progress and well fare of the Territory.
 The Hyder district does not at present need a great deal of assistance. But what it does need principally-a short road or two-is not only a very ur- gent need but also one of the kind of needs to which the Seattle Chamber of Commerce can lend most effective assist ance.

Motion Picture School, Waiting to
Perform a Small Part in Front
of the Camera.

Just happened. The men on their
way past to the radio and hardware saw
her and forgot what they came in for.
They stopped and gaped and then she
began to blush and look frightened again
and in a minute you couldn't get near
the place. She's just packed full of SEX
appeal"
The manager felt that this was the
truth, so with a nice little speech he
persuaded Thelma to dry her tears again.
She was too pretty to work in the main
store, so he would promote her to the
basement where she would fill mosquito
netting Christmas stockings with gum
drops and broken candy and where hor-
rid men would not bother her.
what do you suppose the women get
out of staring at herr" asked the boss as
he climbed the stairs after burying Thelma
from the public eye.
That's easy" answered his assistant.
"The women can tell from the way the
men act that this girl has got something
they would like to have, something that's
worth a million dollars, and they stare

ing at nothing that way. After she had
wiped the tears away and powdered her
nose, she was quietly installed in Sadie's
place at the candy counter which was far
from the entrance. The boss watched mo-
ment to make sure that no men were
watching Thelma and then went away to
hear his floor-walker's report of the
Christmas counter.

"Ye-e-s," agreed the floor-walker, 'it
gave 'em a chance all right, but they
didn't take it. They beat it too. l don't

her on in vaudeville as the girl who wrecks
business. Mr.. Todd would not hear of
this and decided that his daughter would
be a school teacher.
Though only fifteen, Thelma was almost
through High School and Mr.. Todd had
never heard anyone object to a school
teacher being pretty. But on looking
into the matter, he was advised that school
boards do not like immoderately pretty
school teachers on the ground that they
receive too much attention to give proper
time to their work.
Thelma at last became convinced that
there was such thing as the fatal curse
of beauty. Politely rebuffed from every

De Mara, however, had never forgotten
what he called her "triumphs over trade"
and when the movie camera man came
to Lawrence looking for talent, he told
the man Thelma's story.
Under the cold eye of the camera,
Thelma took on the sweet; frightened look
which had always gotten her fired. Later,

Here, towering like the Woolworth
the faces Of the customers on the other
side of the mob. misunderstanding
They were men of all ages and kinds,
packed like sardines, and nobody think
ing of spending a nickel. With what the
manager described as a "goofy'' express
sion, every eye was aimed at the little new
Todd girl. Some actually stared with
their mouths open, like hungry dogs n a
piece of meat. The manager, in his an
noyance, wanted to yell "Speak" and see
if most of them would not bark.
He remained on his perch, however,
until Thelma turned around and let him
see what they were all gaping at. He be-
held the face of an unusually pretty girl,
but not the prettiest that ever lived-not
by any means. What was the matter with
these men? The manager stood and
stared and pretty soon he understood.
1t was not so much Thelma's perfection
of features as what these features told,
or, at least, men imagined they told. Her
eyes were round with the panic of facing
for the first time a massed battery of
admiring masculine eyes from which she
could not escape. Her cheeks were flushed
with pink that did not come out of
vanity case, and waves of color, followed
by whiteness, chased each other over her
face and neck. Once in a while, with the
valor of innocence, she would look around
at them with gentle indignation, as If to
say, "You mustn't stare at me like this"
Every one of those men was getting
the impression, even the manager could
feel it way up on the piano, that here
was an innocent, pretty girl without
mean thought, a kitten without claws,
mate that would never be nasty, the kind
of angel every man dreams of marrying.
She was embarrassed, frightened and each
man dearly wished that he could leap over
that counter, rescue her and make her
his own for ever and ever. Each man
yearned to shield her from the vulgar
gaze of the others but the boss actually
did it. He had to.
1t took time, authority and muscle to
cut through that crowd and it was not a
popular act but the manager finally sue
ceeded in getting Thelma out of that be-
seiged counter and Sadie from the candy
