R. A. A.: An old friend with
whom 1 once had an affair has been
calling me lately, although he is
now married. Also a boy that
met in May has fallen for me. In
fact, they all seem to fall for me,
What must 1 do?
Ans: 1t is too bad that a girl as
attractive as yourself should be the
possessor of so much conceit, or
self-loVe. am sure that you
would be much more desirable il
you would only relax and be just
your own natural self. If the "oId
friend" had loved you he would
have married you, instead of the
one he did marry. The new friend
has not fallen so hard as you
think. When you fall (Which will
be very soon) some of the conceit
will leave you.

Golf Caddy's Language
of His Own Invention

The golf caddy has a picturesque
language all his own, according to
the Commentator. He calls his fell
low caddies bag rats" and an 49,
hole round is a loop" while a g.
hole round is a walk in the park.
A "chirp" Is a cheap skate player
who doesn't tip, while a poor player
is a wood butcher"
A shop rat" is a fellow who
hangs around the pros shop trying
to get more work by running er-
rands and ingratiating himself. A
badly kept course is a pasture;
a slow round is a "creep" or a
crawl" A typical caddy fee
amounts to a fish and a O." which
in money means $1.25. A Shovel
is a nibick or any club used in get
ting out of sand trap. When you
get off the course you get into the
Jungle" Every golf pro is the
Scotchman" regardless Of whether
he is an italian, a German or an
Englishman.
An lice cream caddy" earns
money by caddying, but isn't de-
pendent upon it for a living. A
double singer" is one who carries
two bags more often than average.
When business is poor, caddies tell
each other, You'll eat grass to-
night" and that, says the Common
tator, means they'll have to go with
out their favorite tiger steak" or
hambHgers.

Public Service
Bureau
Minneapolis Spokesman and
st. Paul Recorder

At last this department of the
Minneapolis Spokesman and st.
Paul Recorder has received encour-
agement from a club. In response
to letter we wrote to the Charles
Jacobs Mite Missionary Society of
the st. James A. NJ. E. church in
st. Paul, regarding one of their
members who has been confined to
a hospital for some time, we re-
ceived a visit from Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Z. Jackson, Mrs. Holmsback, Mrs.
Goode and Mrs. George Hall. They
came to the office to thank US
for our interest in their friend and
to tell US how happy they felt after
their visit to the institution. We
won't have to make excuses to the
patients out there on our next trip
as we have been doing because they
felt they were forgotten.
Mr.. Jackson and the ladies sang
for the patients. The ladies had
prepared a sure entry to the hearts
of the male patients, not only by
singing and praying for them but
also by taking them delicious food.
Speaking of food reminds me Of
our Cooking School. If you feel in
terested in helping the sick and
ailing, take advantage of this OPP
portunity by attending each session
of the Cooking School.
The director of this department
urges the men especially to attend.
Most men will tell you they can
cook. Many of them can. What we
all want to learn is to prepare a
well balanced economical, tasty,
nourishing meal, with as little time
and effort as possible.
We will tell you about our visits
to the Shut-Ins next time, since we
can't get Mrs. Halle Carper and
our great cooking schools off our
minds.

How Big Is Business?
T~o.Year Business Survey Discloses Smaller
Concerns Have Greatest Profit,
and Losses.

I 200 corporations which had the great.
est amount Of stocks and bonds out
standing in 1909. only about l2(
proved profitable up to 1924.
Forty Eight Every Profitable"
Forty-eight Of the 200 were every
profitable" the researchers said, but
1T is likely =" that the capital lost
in the unsuccessful stocks amounted
to larger sum than the capital gains
| and dividends received from the sue
, cessful ones"
The bigger the business. the report
said, the smaller the proportionate
amount of either proiit or deficit,
This is an exact reversal Of the
popular belief that big business multi
plies its capital by leaps and bounds
while smaller Arms struggle along a
tougher road.
The degree Of prort OF the different
sizes OF business WAS determined IN
tests covering the years le3l-ls33
The report pointed out that these were
severe depression years. and that fnd-
lngS might vary in a study OF more
prosperous times.
Return on Investment.
The first test WAS the amount OF re-
turn on the stockholders investment
as expressed on the corporation books
in the ratio between net income and
net worth.
Among corporations reporting prof
its, those having over $5O,OO0,0O0 In
assets had a Al per cent return 70,

the scale. those with $50,000 or less
reported 8.6 per cent. With insignifi.
cant variations. the percentage Of
profit decreased as the size OF the

business increased. The trend was
the same for the other two years.
Among companies which lost money,
those having assets OF $4,000, 900
and over in 1888 lost per cent. The
$50000 and under class lost 376 oer
cent The intermediate trend was
similar to that for the profitable cor
porations.
When all companies. profitable and
Improbable, were Jumped together, the
$50, 0,000, 900 giants were the only ones
to make money. The 5000 and un-
der group showed the biggest loss.
This indicated that big business
was surer to produce a profit in the
long run, although at 4 less spectacu-
lar rate than the smaller Arms.
Salaries Of Ohcers.
The whole picture was changed,
however, when the salaries Of the cor
poration ofacers-along with deprecia-
tion and depletion charges-were add
ed to the companies income. This
procedure Is never adopted In business
practice. but the report said 1T may
measure the profltableness Of corpora
tions better than the more conven-
ttonal standards"
When this adjustment was made, the
best prot1t showing for all corporations
combined vas no longer made by the
giant corporations, but by the baby
ones.
