CREDIT METHODS
National Retail Credit ASsOcia-
ton Asks Law Protection

| Providence, r. l., Aug. IL P> -
| An appeal to the federal govern
ment to conduct an extensive sur
vey of credit methods throughout
the United States. with a view TO
,standardizing a credit system on a
sound basis of benefit to both mer-
chant and customer, will be made
by the Retail Credit Mems National
association. Five hundred members
of the association. in conference
! here, adopted today resolution
asking for an appropriation of not
less than $4,000 for such an in
vestigation, which would be con-
Quoted by the department of com
merce.
! The resolution virtually invites
the aid of the government in work
ing out what the credit men de-
clare is a rapidly widening problem
of credit merchandising. 1t is point
ed out that so per cent OF the to-
| tai business of the country is re-
tail and that 76 per cent of the
retail business Is done on credit.
/ The association takes the position.
| it was explained. that there is a
considerable undetermined margin
of loss at present, and it is not
within the power Of the association
to ascertain the exact extent of the
loss or its causes.
The procedure sought by the
convention will be to obtain petit
tions from at least 100000 mer-
chants throughout the country
seeking support Of the governors Of
their respective states in the ma
tionwide movement.
The following officers were elect
ed for the coming year: President
L. l.. Meyer of Houston, Texas;
first vice president, J. r. Hewitt Of
Baltimore; second vice president

pred terms. J. E. Zieglmeyers OF
Dallas, Texas, and W. w. Robinson
of Portland, Ore.
It was voted to change the name
of the organization from Retail
mems Credit association to National
Retail Credit association. The
elimination OF the word mems
was declared due in part to the
growing influence Of women in the
organization.

Charles A. Levine. owner Of the

The final decision was made at
2 a. m. after Dieudonne Costes an
nounced that he would not start to-
day in his Breguet plane.
In spite of the poor weather, Le-
vine had been determined that no
other plane would get a head start

coined by Levine. who hoped that
the weather would clear up In a
day or 50.

Falling Sick.

When a man is feeling bully, sick
ness an illusion seems, something
vague and wild and woody, like the
stuff composing dreams. When his
muscles are elastic, equal to the hard
est strain, when he's fit for feats
gymnastics, who shall speak to him
of pain? Sickness is for other fellows,
and the drugstore path is theirs: he
is sound in limbs and bellows, he can
whip three polar bears. He is always
sneering railing, at the wise ones and
their spiels: since he never has been
ailing. he will never all, he feels. Say
the wise ones, Save the smackers ere
your health and vigor go; for the
germs are fierce attackers, and they
soon may lay you low. Save the
kopecks while you're feeling like
James Thompsons sorrel colt: any
day you may be Keeling meath some
epidemic's jolt. Sickness comes with
out a warning, comes with silent,
furtive tread; you who feel so gay
this morning in the twilight may be
dead" But the hale man laughs and
chuckles in his rude, besotted glee;
then beneath disease he buckles,
stricken down with houSemaid's knee
On his couch of pain he fingers long
ing for his health's return, while the
doctors ana the Sklllful myers IdSH-
ion poultices that burn. All the doc
tors and the nurses and the druggists
must be paid. and in all his stock Of
purses there's no coin to make the
grade. And the grocer is demanding
payment for his fancy prunes, and
the butcher Is outstanding in his call
for picayunes. And the landlord is
insisting on the rent that's overdue.
and a dozen more are visiting they

awful load to carry when man is

Harry often wishes he were dead?
