man appeared at the door bringing
tragic news. There father had
been accidently killed.
There was no will, and very little
money. A crisis had been reached;
something had to be done.
Jessica began studying shorthand
and typewriting. When she went
out to look for a job, she found
herself handicapped by excessively
oily hair. She did not wish to look
untidy, SO she went to a hair spe-
cialist. He said a prescription
would cost her $25.
She consulted a pharmacist She
worked with him to develop a rem
edy, and at last found one which
corrected the condition of her hair.
Her friends were surprised to see
the great change and asked her for
the prescription.
One day woman Was so pleased
that she gave her a formula for
whitening discolored grey hair.
Now she had two formulas.
She wanted to tackle New York
People laughed What! girl
with only two formulas attacking,
cold, merciless, money mad New
York! Well, she did it. All she had
was her fare and two months rent
for an office. But she had two
tremendously important assets
which the scoffers didn't see-an
idea and courage.
She rented a little two-by-four
place on a side street. Business
doomed. Exactly a year later she
moved to Fifth avenue.
Then she sent for her sisters. and
they came, one by one They all
lived together and worked together,
did these Scotch American girls.
Now the sisters have their own
shops in New York, Washington
ID. c., and in Paris. In addition,
1850 stores handle their prGpara-
tionS.
Since she knows SO much about
women in business, I asked her for
some guideposts for girls in busi-
ness, They are:
l. Wear feminine clothes. Don't
go in for tailored suits with man
nish ties. Don't ape the men
2 Don't expect the men to wait
On you in an office. Don't expect
to hold mans job and then have
him pamper and flatter you.
3. Depend on your intuition. In
tuition is more highly developed III
woman than in man and
should be used to advantage.
4. If you find jealousy in your
office, meet it with generosity.
Nothing kills office jealousy as
quickly as generosity.
5. Don't let the men in your office
know it if you are smarter than
they are.
She made a fortune because she
helped people solve their problems
in a way that had never been
done before. She saw a need and
met it.

WASHINGTON. - The rush of
propaganda intended 10 line up the
United States with one or the
other Of the European factions has
been going on for some time
Should war break, it will immedi-
ateIy redouble, anu truth will be
the first casualty in this as in all
wars.
There will be less excuse for be-
ing misled this tins, however. for
over at the State Department in
the Office OF Munitions Control a
series of earnest conferences are
going on.
Foreign piopagandists are regis
tering in accord with a law which
has just gone into effect. Others
are seeking expert advice as to
whether they nave to register. If
they do under the law. they must
set down the names of their en-
ployers. the character of their
activities, what they are paid, and
what their duties are.
The intent of the law is 10 en-
able the American people to tell
who is feeding them what prop
aganda. Registration data is open
tc all. Failure to register subjects
the agent to a fine ur to $1,000 and
a Jail term up to two years.
Like all laws, this one is not
hullet-proof. But it should help,
and the early rush of propagan-
cists to register shows that at least
some Of the more obvious propa-
ganda programs will be revealed
for what they are, thus enabling
people to divide their product by
the proper common denominator.
Possibility of the Czechs being
involved in war recalls their very
effective Propaganda in the United
States which began the moment
war was declared in 1914 and con-
tinued throughout the period of
Our neutrality, redoubling of course
as soon as the United States was
2 in the war.
Thomas Masaryk had his man
Voska on duty here early in 1914,
raising funds, holding meetings,
contracting newspapers and politi
clans.
Working closely with the British
Intelligence Service, especially
Captain Gaunt and Sir William
Wiseman, Voska established a spy
service of his own which employed
at least so people. And the ex-
posure he made of German and
Austrian plotting in this country
helped materially to bring the
United States INTO the war.
The large number of Americans
OF Czech blood not only provided
Masaryk with more than a half
million dollars for such work, but
in cities Ike New York, Chicago,
Pittsburgh and Cleveland, which
had and have large Czech popula
tions, made his program a vital part
of public opinion.
Voska was one CT the ablest of
all the spies and propagandists who
flooded the United States from
European countries as soon as war
began His activities here were one
o. the largest factors that led to es-
tablishment Of the Czechosloyak
Republic which is now so graVely
threatened.
