THAT woman still has a chance
TO live. OF course a lot depends on
how much of the poison she took.
She probbaly can live a week. If
she has changed her mind and
wants to live she can swallow an
emetic and rid herself of the poison.

GOOD, SOLID FEET HELD MOST
VITAL QUALITY FOR WAITRESS

LOS ANGELES, April 28 UP
If you have a strong back and big
feet, and are naturally a lady
you may get a job as a waitress.
But if you happen to be merely
beautiful" better try working as
a clothes-horse or movie actress,
because there is bear market
for beautiful girls in the restaur-
ant business.
A convention of 1000 restaurant
owners from IL western states,
ending their annual convention
recently at the Biltmore hotel,
classified physical endurance and
good, solid feet" as prime quail
ficationS for the perfect waitress
Intelligence ranks fourth on the
list and attractiveness fifth. The
figure, however is more import
ant than the face and being
merely beautiful" will do you
more harm than good in landing
job.
Beautiful Mattresses" explained
Sid Hoemaker, who has been hir-
ing and firing lady soup spillers
for a quarter of a century, take
the customers mind off his food.
Better places do not employ them
The modern waitress is a far
cry from the elderly ladies who
used TO Slop gravy on your vest at
the corner beanery. Waitressing
has become a profession, taking in
girls with a college education and
fifth avenue manners.
However, a waitress working age
now is between 20 and 25 years,
so the reStaurateurS advised hope
ful young ladies not to take it up
as a profession.
"A girl who wants to make wait
ing on tables a career Hoemaker
remarked, probably would be too
dumb to be a good waitress. The
old days of dumb walters who
leaned on chairs and spilled cof-
fee in your ear while gossiping
with the man at the next table
are gone forever"
The ten don'tS" of WaitreSSing
approved by the convention are:
l. Don't flirt with customers.
2. Don't pay attention to men
customers when they are with wo-
men.
3. Don't wear too much make
up, high-heeled shoes or too elab-
crate hairdressing.
4. Don't make suggestions about

AVERAGE COST
LOWER FOR
PUBLIC POWER

Referring to municipal and pri-
vately owned hight and power SyS-
TENS in their relation to service
rendered their customers, the 1882
department of commerce census, re
port offers some interesting infor-
nation The report states that the
average use per domestic customer
in 1882. served BY municipal plants
was l8 per cent greater than the
use per customer OF n commercial
tprivatcl utility system. Tho aver
age cost per kiloWatt hour of mum
icipal systems Wa 16 per cent less
than the average cost Of private util-
itieS.
Furthermore an even greater dll-
ference is noted in the statistics Civ
en- for small power and commercial
customers. The average use per
customer per year from municipal
systems was So per cent greater.
with an average cost per kilowstt
hour 39ia per cent less than the
commercial customers service by
private utilities.
The census statistics show that Of
the total electric energy sold 80 per
cent is furnished by private utilities
and 10 per cent by municipalities
of the total free service, the
private utility companies furnish As
per cent as compared to 95.5 per
cent by municipal systems. This
covers the free street and other city
lighting furnished by municipal Sys-
TENS and in that way the sale of
power by such plants is brought
down to a low figure as compared
with that of the private system.
In this connection it is to be
noted, however. that such free city
lighting furnished by municipal
plants is a direct saving to taxpay-
payers who otherwise would have
been compelled to pay for their SER
vice if received from some privately
owned system.
