Making Posters for Stores,
Star-Gazing, Are Profitable
By Emnice Foster

If you just love to make posters,
as I do. you can really earn your
own pocket money from doing
them" the girl who lives next door
to me said.
How do I get the work to do?
I just 60 after it; starting first with
the little store at the corner. I
convinced the owner that posters
in the window, advertising one
special a week would bring him
more business. I don't believe my
talk convinced him as much as the
results. I made a grand poster OF
q gooey sundae, which that week he
sold at his fountain for cents less
than the usual price. Two other
posters inside the: shop, as well as
the first one, in the window. really
brought results. At any rate they
must have, because he ordered three
more for the next week Offering
candy bars at l cent less and sold
out all he had by Wednesday.
"He paid me so cents apiece for
posters, and now, If he has some
thing he wants to sell, he has me do
feature posters for it. Because I
like doing them and originate my
own selling line under the illustra-
ton, I'm really gaining experience.
That man was amused at what he
called my sales technique and gave
me the name OF a newsstand. store
whose owner is trying out the plan,
too, with equal success for him and
another $150 for me- I'm still in
school and try not to let it interfere

with my studying and honestly don't
believe it does"
I'm taking a business course At
school and 60 down to an Office from
8 to 5 every day, where take letters
and type them to 60 out that day, If
there are not too many. If there is
not enough Of that work to do I
straighten the files, for It's q real
estate Office. I make myself gener-
ally useful. It's all part of my train
ing In a business career, but I don't
intend to stop at simply clerking. I
shall aim higher after I start out on
my own, after graduation"
r One of the most ingenious and m--
usual ways to earn money Is what =
lad, a senior in high school does.
Astronomy has always been his
fathers hobby, although he has
never had telescope. Bob has gone
with him though to the Naval OBJ
|servatory several times to view some
phenomena of the skies and is most
enthusiastic about it all. He, with
his fathers help and that Of friend
built little house for a telescope
which was given him last year, to-
|gether with yearly subscription for
"a magazine. Monthly Evening Sky
Map His principal reading seems
to be poring over this magazine, or
simple astronomy books, so. he de-
cided to commercialize on his hobby.
He charges his friends, neighbors
and some of the boys from school
to take a look through his telescope
on clear nights, as he talks and ex-
plains what they are seeing, or an
swers questions. It's astonishing
how many people are interested in
stars and come back again and
again to look at them. Usually the
telescope Is set the same way for q
whole week and the miniature OBJ

In the sketch, Lincoln recalls that

LincoIn's 3-Poge Auto biography to Be Given
To Congressional Library on 738th Birthday
Document Held One
Of Most Important
Yet in Privote Hands

The Library Of Congress will cele-
Abraham Lincoln's birth Wednesday
by receiving the original manuscript
Of Lincoln's laconic three-page
Autobiography.
The Civil War presidents view Of
himself, written in his own hand
writing toward the close Of 1859. is
dscribed as one Of the most import
ant Lincoln pieces that had re-
manned in private hands.
According to library authorities,
the manuscript was written at the
insistence of Jesse w. Fell, whose
great-grandson, the Rev. Robert
Dale Richardson of Medford, Mass,
will present it to the Library of
Congress. After the presentation,
the Autobiography" will be exhib-
tied in the Library Rotunda.
Mr.. Fell lived In a boarding house
with Lincoln in the winter of 1884,
1885 and the two became good
friends. In the fall of 1858, during
the Lincoln Douglas debates, Mr..
Fell visited a number of Eastern
states were he was frequently
asked for more information about
Lincoln.
Refused at First.
When he went back to Illinois,
Mr.. Fell told Lincoln about the in
terest in him and asked for a state
ment which could be published in
support of his candidacy for the
Presidential nomination in 1860.
At first, Lincoln refused but the
following year, Mr.. Fell prevailed
on him to prepare the auto
biography" Lincoln sent his rough
draft to Mr.. Fell with note dated
December 20, 1859, in which he said,
There Is not much of it, for the
reason, I suppose, that there Is
not much Of me"
Convinced that the influence of
Pennsylvania in the Republican
campaign would be important and
that the State must know more
about Lincoln to get his way, Mr..
Fell sent Lincoln's manuscript to
Joseph l.. Lewis of Westchester, Pa.
Mr.. Lewis found the autobiography"
scanty and asked for more ir1forma-
ton but Mr.. Fell had little to add.

British civilians were confined to

to virtually restrict movements of

Arabs and British until proper
passes have been issued"
After issuance Of the passes the
British, estimated at less than 1000
in Jerusalem, will be able to move
