BALKAN ARMIES
YIELD To j. s.
OFFICER

NEW YORK, Nov. ia young
American lieutenant, acting with no
authority whatever, brought to an
end the civil war in Montenegro,
which followed the World War, and
accepted the surrender of the two
opposing armies "in the name of
the United State Food Administra.
tom
This funniest chapter of postwar
history, heretofore unpublished, has
just been revealed by no less an au-
thority than Herbert Hoover
The story, recounted by Bruce
Barton in the current issue of Co.'S
mopolitan, was brought to light,
Barton relates, when he commented
casually on an ivory handled dagger
lying on table in Hoover's Wash
fngton home.
Hoover, telling how he came into
possession of the dagger. related the
story of the unique Montenegrin sur
render which Barton retells in the
Cosmopolitan as follows:
Food Brings Truce
Montenegro. which had fought
with the Allies in the World War,
quickly split into two armed camps
after the Peace of Versailles to
settle an ancient dispute which
existed between the clans of the
little mountain kingdom.
The only neutral was a young
American lieutenant who repre-
sensed the United States Food Ad-
ministration. He wired to Hoover
in Brussels that the country was
starving, and Hoover dispatched
shipload of efood. The difficulty
was to arrange with the warring
Montenegrins to unload 1t.
The lieutenant called conference
OF the opposing generals, and after
a long discussion it was agreed that
Army A should unload during the
day; then there would follow one
hour truce during which Army B
would come on as the night-shift.
The young officer took occasion
at the conference to point out the
folly Of the war.
You ought to be plowing and
getting in your crops" he told
them. This food will soon be
exhausted and IL you don't raise

there was no hope.
Why
Because q war can only end

But after another parley. when
the ship was unloaded. the chief
of Army A advanced a brilliant
suggestion.
I'VE could both surrender to the
United States. That would end
the war and save our honor" he
offered. The other general agreed,
and the lieutenant offered to ac-
cept the surrenders with both
armies drawn up in the main street
at 4 o'clock the next afternoon.

Women VOTERS
Ne " WORRY

LONDON. Nov. 13.--With gen.
eral election but few months
away the organizations OF the
three major British political parties
are beginning the task of their
liyes-the tremendous job of find
ing 5000, 900 women aged from II
and upwards and convincing them
that they ought to vote Conserva-
tive, Labor or Liberal.
The women have been placed on
the votinS register by the extension
of the franchise to women on the
same terms as men. They will
bring an incalculable factor into the
elections. and very few politicians
are prepared to gauge the effect
the women will have on the political
strengths Of the parties.
Parties Organize
Each party has divided the coun-
try into areas, and set up a
womans anization In each.
The Conservatives have a branch
OF their wOmen's organization in
each constituency, and paid
women's organizer in many divi-
sions.. They are training women
organizers and canvassers in spe-
cial classes, and will have scores
of thousands of women workers to
draw upon.
The ~Laborites have 10000 mem
bers of their women's section
There is one section to- each CON
stituency. and they claim that
every one OF them Is available for
political spade work The Liberals
are putting into effect next month
scheme whereby they hope to
reach individually every new woman
elector before the fatal poll. In
brief. that Is the aim OF every
party.
THE election is going to be won
and lost on the spade work put
in by women a prominent cam
paign organizer told International
New Service. Nearly half mil
lion women will be engaged in can
vassing and speaking. 1t is going
to be a wonderful fight"
Use Many Devices
All sorts Of devices are being
used to capture the interest and
allegiance of the elusive women
voter. There are afternoon teas,
sewing classes, entertainments. eve
ming functions. ali with a dash of
politics thrown in.
A great mass of special litera-
ture is being prepared for the
women. Some Of the best brains
OF the parties are doing this work
There are pamphlets for the
young married women; pamphlets
for the matrons. They are being
printed by the ton, and will shortly
be scattered in scores Of millions
up and down the country.
Some extent Of the additional
voting strength the extension of
the franchise has given can be
judged from the following: AT the
next election London will have
nearly 900 more electors. the
County Of Essex 10000 and Mid
dlesex 10000.

CHAIN TRADING
DISCUSSED AS
DANCER
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The
rapid expansion of chain stores,
nnarketwise and in actual sales
OF MERCHANDISE, inevitably raises
the question whether the small,
independent merchant is doomed.
I have discussed this possibility
with the executive heads of
numerous chains. Many chain
store men reply that the small
merchant still may look forward
TO a good future, but not the
inefficient merchant. Sixty per
cent of the total retail trade is
still in the hands of independents.
Earl Corder Sans, president
of the J. c. Penny Company,
which now operates 1,054 general
merchandise stores. told me that
there is a tendency to overem-
pFlasize the advantage of chain
stores in quantity buying. Though
there is such an advantage. the
success of the well managed
chains, according to Mr.. Sans,
in primarily aseribable to the
use of more efficient merchan-
dising methods.
Chain Against Chain
'sThe consumer stands to bene-
fit" Mr.. Sans pointed out, from
the prospective growing competi-
tive struggle of chain against
chain and of chain stores against
the more efficient independent
merchants who will survive. l
think that, in spite of the height
ened competition of the future,
the well managed chains will
continue to operate at sat1sfac-
tory profit margins. They VIII
make these profits largely by
introducing new economies.
''The chain store management
decides in advance what is a fair
margin of gross profit, and recog-
nizes that such net profit as IL
makes must come from hololng
down expenses and speeding up
turnover. The inefficient store
keeper begins at the diametrically
opposite end of the problem. de
figures that he should add enough
to the price to assure him a net
profit.
Plan Investigated
Mr.. Sans conceded that with
the prospective competition of
cl1ain against chain, as we'll as
against independent merchants,
the advantage of quantity buying
will be somewhat neutraliZed, and
competition will tend to, be more
on the basis of service and eff
cheney.
Mr.. Sans believes that there are
perhaps too many retail mer-
chants, and that inefficient ones
levy a cost-on a community. He
naturally decries the efforts of
less successful merchants to seek
political remedies in their contests
with the chains. North Carolina,
Georgia and Maryland expert
mented with special taxation bur-
dens for the chains, but these
maneuvers have been challenged
in the courts. The Federal Trade
Commission is currently investi-
eating chain store systems under
the Brookhart Senate resolution.
Asked whether he thought the
chain store competition could he
dealt with politically, Mr.. Sans
answered: "If my boy got along
faster in school than my neigh
boris, would he be justified in
asking the teacher to hold back
my son until his caught up?"

A Sermon for Today
Example of Giving.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.


Text--"And Jesus sat over against
the treasury, and beheld how the people
cast money into the treasury: and many
THAI were rich cast in much. And there
came q certain poor widow. and she
thfew in two mites, which make a
farthing. And He called unto Him
his disciples, and saith unto them,
Verify / say unto you, That this poor
widow hath cast more in than all they
which have cast into the treasury; for
all they did cast in of their abundance; !;
but she of her want did cast in all that
she had, even all her living. Marx,
xii 4l-42
Jesus saw in the giving of this poor
widow three elements which He did not
see in the giving of the others. He saw
in her giving an act of worship, an act
of service, an act of sacrifice.
Evidently those rich men who were
casting their large gifts into the treas
ury that day were giving to be seen Of
men. They wanted to be worshiped
themselves. This poor woman came to
worship God. and what she gave was
given as an act of worship to Him
whom she loved and whom she wished
to honor with her gift.
This woman loved the temple and Its
services. The temple service called for
some to play on instruments. some to
sing. some TO read the sacred scrolls,
and some to expound the law. None
of these things could she do. But she
could give the little money she had.
and thus she could have some share In
the service OF her Lord. Through the
giving Of our money we can have part
In many helpful ministries In which we
cannot engage directly.
The giving of this woman was also an
act OF sacrifice. Others gave of their
abundance: she gave Of her want. How
her gift has been hallowed by her
sacrificed Such sacrifice not only hall
lows but increases gift. For centuries
the story Of this widows gift has been
told throughout the Christian world,
inspiring heroic and noble giving on the
part Of others.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY PROF. JOSEPH JASTRow.

The parents want assurance that this
taste for music is strong enough to fur
nlSh the basis for a career: the hoy
properly hesitates to break away and
run the risk of being unsettled, rooted
nowhere, drifting, No one can do good
work when out of tune, and it's rather
late to say that the getting out of tune
should have been prevented by con-
sidering for each child what it most
needed for its best DEVELOPMENT. Little
frlctionS grow into big ones. and then
comes the great divide. Nobody can
save any one from such decisions, and
1t would be an unwise psychologist who
would suggest that his science held any
formula for meeting such cases.
Like all human institutions, the FAM
ny has its great assets and its great
liabilities Considering all the dangers
and all the benefits of the family life.
the psychologist finds in it one of the
very fundamental settings for adjust
ment to the best that life can offer. The
complete man is a family man, not
Swamped by family, but settled and
steadfed by accepting its relations. Bur
ones career must be an individual de-
cision.
Perhaps the most critical test of FAM
lily psychology is the preparation it gives
for leaving its Sheltering guidance, un-
less 1t be that this shelter and guidance
shall never seem a prison and an en-
forcement. Eventually every man must
play his own tune.
