Ways to Earn Money.

We once had book on ways to earn
money. and we used to turn to 1t when
ends didn't appear to be converging.
Every woman looks for a way to sup
plement her income at some time or
other.
OF course, there are actually more
than q mere 100 ways to earn money.
They are not dificult. either Our
trouble in failing to find particular
way is that we lack the time, facilities
or inclination. Frequently, though,
we only think we lack one or all Of
these. Most Of us have some time,
some talent, and some facilities, how
ever meager or limited.
In order to get the best results de-
eide first which skill or knack you
possess to the greatest extent Select
a trade, business, or vocation that will
exploit that skill or knack. Then
determine the most likely market for
your product or services, and work"
that market to depletion.
For example, II 1t is product Of
your handiwork, advertise it in any
way possible, try to get display space,
send out samples to Interested persons
and establishments, and use all of your
personal acquaintanceships to advant-
age.
There is a market somewhere for any,
thing worthwhile. Exercise your in
genuity in finding ways to get your
product or talent before folks likely
to be interested In 1t, and by that we
mean, prospective purchasers.
Much Of your success will depend on

You see, he had come there under

"Oh, Jerry, I'm so sorry!"
Jerry blinked, as If he didn't under

asked.
I'm sorry for YOU" replied Peter

PRIVATE JUSTICE

Some years ago q Mr.. Guilds lived
calmly with his wife and kids; some
rieces also lent their charm TO his sub
urban, moral farm. He was kind and
friendly man, a credit to his tribe and
clan; when any parties passed the hat
they found with with a wallet fat, and
he disgorged and wished the men good
luck and bade them call again. One
night some beastly burglars came, and
played their rude, uncultured game.
They stole whatever they could md,
to every decent impulse blind, and they
were brutal to the kids, insulting, too,
to Mrs. Guilds. When morning came
the father cried, The courts will pun
ishment provide, for those who robbed
us left and right, and made a ruin of
the night. We have good cops and they
will trail the scurvy Williams to the jail"
But days went by and weeks, as well,
and none found lodgings in a cell; the
cops were baff1ed and the case was
carried to the old junk place. Then Mr..
Guilds arose and said, THE feet of JUS
tice are Of lead; she has q thousand
things to do, thousand villains to pur-
sue, and so the robbers get away. and
live to rob some other day. I feel It's
mine to place the skids meath men
who bullied Mrs. Guilds; they must be
punished one and all, or I'll be feeling
small: SO I shall camp upon their trail
and see these varlets all in Jail; st
may take months 1t may take years, but
I have neither doubts nor fears; I have
the price, have the time, can afford
to punish crime" And so far nine long
years he's trailed his victims and 10
were jailed; but one remains who has
not felt the prod Of justice in his pelt;
and Guilds remarks, 81 cannot rest until
he Is some jailer's guest" And this is
not q fairly tale; it's true, and long
may Guilds prevail.

Harry Halves In not only an ardent
and expert fisherman. In the realm OF

as q pragmatist and rs an empiric.
Or, more simply stated, Harry Halves
knows fishing in all Its phases-from
catching to cooking.
Manufactures have named rods for
him. He is in q class with those vet
Grams to whom 1t gives serious offense
to call q rod q pole"
Might as well call my favorite rife

But with all of his experiences, the
Senator will discuss fishing as eagerly
with q novice as with q veteran.
Especially is this true when CONVEX
SatiOn swings to what he describes as
some of the pleasant things"-cook-
Ing and eating.
Even here the Senator has very
definite ideas of what should not be

Here's his idea Of what a MONDAY

French toast or fapjacks, potatoes,

Brittle Fingernails.

Dear Miss Leeds-My nails don't
seem to grow very long, and when I
do get them to presentable length
they almost always break off. Can this
condition be remedied? 90 work in
an office and my hands are always
moist and seem to perspire excessively
especially when ! am taking dictation
Can you tell me how TO overcome this
tendency?
JUST A WORKING GIRL.
Answer-The condition you describe
Is often due to some form of i'll health
or q diet that Is not properly balanced
Very often nervous individuals are
bothered with perspiring palms, and q
diet lacking in lime and other minerals
will cause brittle finger nails. Ask your
physician about 1t. He will probably
tell you to eat more milk, vegetables
and fresh fruits. For local treatment
soak the nails in warm olive oil for 10
minutes every day for a week to tougher
and lubricate them. Have an oil mani
cure twice q month. Wear your nails
rather short until you get them in a
better condition. (2) After washing
the hands sponge them with the fol-
lowing lotion and allow 1t to dry on the
skin: Four drains eau-de cologne, two
drains tannic acid, one ounce glycerin
one ounce alcohol massage or rubbing
alcohol, eight ounces witch hazel. Mix
well. This lotion may be applied to
the palms and between the fingers be-
fore one goes out in the morning, and
again at noontime after washing the
hands and drying carefully. Watch for
my article on Brittle FingernailS" and
in the meantime write for my leafiet on
care of the hands and nails. The daily
care, together with soothing lotions and
q splendid skin food, is given in detail.
Inclose a self-addressed, stamped en-
velope and name the leafiet when you
write, so that it may reach you safely.

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. srRowLs.
Prodigies.

Prodigies.
Now and then some one discovers q
prodigy superior child. The case is
written up; school teachers make a
survey of teaching methods; parents
oegin to wonder how prodigies come to
be and even suspect they have one in
their own home. The eugenists begin
to talk eugenics. AS a result, the nrod-
ICY gets so much attention that he or
she runs the risk of being spoiled.
From the psychological point OF view
the prodigy is just as much a question
marx as Is the idiot. No one can eX-
plain the why's of nature when her
creations vary considerably from the
average up or down, or more properly
speaking, one way or the other. We
nave our attention so much centered on
the normal or average individual that
we don't notice extreme variations, I'M
less some advertisement is given the
case. There must be prodigies in the
world who have not been discovered"
simply because no one has been out
looking for them.
l have said that the prodigy runs the
risk of being spoiled. Everywhere he
goes some one is expected him to do
something unusual. The strain must
be considerable. History seems to show
that prodigies are pretty likely to turn
out to be prodigals. Being regarded as
individuals so many degrees removed
from the ordinary run of social beings,
these prodigals find it easy to lose con-
tact with society. Sooner or later they
must come back, must hitch up with
the social order. Their attempts to do
so are not very successful, as a rule.
Go into any school. and you will find
that the pedagogical mistakes are usu-
ally made in the case of the bright pu-
pills. At any rate, they are the ones to
demonstrate first their inability to
flourish under modern methods, which
mean mass education, ordinary achieve
ment mediocrity.

New York Saves the Day

President Hoover and Alexander Hamilton, Andrew
w. Mellon were fearful that there would be a deficit
instead of a surplus in the treasury at the close Of
the financial year. They were a~greeably disappoint-
ed. Total tax collections show an increase OF $780,
100000 over the same months Of 1929.
A gain in one state made it possible for the ad-
ministration to report a surplus instead OF a deficit.
New York was the state. II led the way with total
taxes collected in the nine months since the begin
ming Of the fiscal year, returning s695.043,510. and
accounted for most of the total increase. adding $780,
100000 more taxes this year than last.
Twenty eight states and one territory showed de-
creased income tax paid into the government treas
ury. IN total taxes North Carolina was second with
200,69s.820 an increase OF Approximately 100000.
Illinois ranked third with an increase Of Sl4i00o.O00;
Pennsylvania fourth, with a drop Of s6.0o0,000, and
California fifth. showing an increase in income and a
decrease in miscellaneous tax.
Thus it happened that New York and North Caro-
lima are the great income tax paying states Of the
union, with New York first and North Carolina sec
ond. Thirty years ago, North Carolina was a poverty
stricken state. Now in textiles and tobacco and other
industries its growth in 80 years is told in the showing
made in income tax and corporation tax payments.
