SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THE JOB AND THE MAN

By F. A. 1 I.liLI.Mi JO Dl,liLliU IN TIIKSi: days of time-saving de-" vlovs., money-savins Inventions and vifort-savln; Ideas the thinking man finds much to Interest him when he hears another thinking man compress a, big thought into the fewest possible word. The literary man has a name for these examples of condensed wisdom. He calls them epigrams." ' "Epigram" is an interesting word. You can spend a useful fifteen minutes studying out in some good dictionary Just what It meant In the original ;reek and how it cnme to have nn entirely different meaning In Knglish. One of the most condensed and meaningful phrases I have ever seen written or heard spoken was used by a great editorial writer who boiled down a whole sermon Into three words when he said "Repetition Is reputation." That Is sound, unassailable truth In the fewest possible words. Alongside that condensation of wisdom I have Hied away In my memory the three-word statement that I heard an advertising solicitor use the other day In convincing a prospective buyer THE WOODS BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH THE SOUL.

of publicity that advertising would be the best possible Investment that he could make. These were the three words he used : "Telling Is selling." That comes pretty near reducing the statement of what advertising Is to the fewest possible words and stating It in the simplest possible way. To a greater or less degree every human being Is an advertiser. The man or woman who dresses well advertises prosperity. The man or woman who uses the proper words In the proper places and shows a broad acquaintance with facts advertises education. The man with the light step, quick movement, unceasing activity, advertises energy, probably ambition. You say I am a good Judge of human nature." That Is only another way of stating that you are an accurate reader of the personal advertising or Individuals. Every day we unconsciously "teH'" ourselves advertise ourselves by our actions, by our habits, by our conversation. Everyday we unknowingly succeed In or fall In "selling" ourselves. If "telling Is selling" It Is equally true that "Overtelllng is underselling." Nobody ever permanently gained anything by wandering from the truth. Hoasting Is only a polite name for ' lying. , Any buyer of men or merchandise would rather be surprised by finding his purchase better than he thought it i was than to discover that it failed to come up to what he had a reasonable right to expect. If you have occasion to talk about yourself tell just what you are. If you find It necessary to sell yourself do not bargain for more than you can deliver. "Telling is selling," hut the telling must be the truth and the selling must be on the basis of turning over just what you have agreed to of having the goods test 1(H) per cent of what they were represented to be.

It is usually the woman of the apartment who payfc the rent; it Is she who has complaints to make or alterations to demahd. And she speaks more freely to another woman, ami the other woman understands better the usual problems of housekeeping. It works well both ways. A rent collector Is In a position to know more than most persons about vacant apartments, various types of renter, possibilities of development, bargains. There are really fine business opportunities In this line, and women should study them. After all. It is women who live In the home and who manage the home. When it comes to homes, women make the better agents and better rent collectors, and women are entering the new field with enthusiasm.

LIPTKD bodily from tho Russian where the term means the left ir radical wing of the political party as opposed to the "menshevikl" or conservative element, "Uolshevlkl" has been imported into America together with many of the false and unsound doctrines to which its members subscribe. Originally the term was analagotis to iind had na more sinister meaning than "radical," as used in connection with Ilritish politics. A liolshevik was one who opposed the conservatives not necessarily an advocate of arson and bloodshed, but a person who believed in a progressive policy instead of following a reactionary course. Until the overthrow of the ItomanoiT dynasty, the llolsheviki did not number anarchists and nihilist in their ranks. These disturbers of the peace were kept under close surveillance by the police and were given no opportunity to ally themselves with any political organization. During the chaos which followed the death of the czar, the extremely radical element cnme Into control and the name Holshevik fell into disrepute? becoming synonomous with "red," the red Hag having been from time Immemorial the symbol of lawlessness and disorder.

Light-Fingered Officers of the Cabinet

WASHINGTON. A well-dressed little man wearing a cutuway coat and tortoise-shell spectacles a veritable KaftTes was surprii-ed by newspaper men the other day in the cabinet room of the White House executive offices' while he was in the act of lifting a brass plate from the ehair which has been occupied since March 0. 1010, by Secretary of War Newton D. I5aker. The little man had his back to the döor when the reporters entered the roon stealthily. II was so busily engaged with his pocket knife endeavoring to pry the bras plate from the chair he did not heed the intruders. Airplane and Bcrnb P AUTICIPATION bv the War d.epartmeat in experiments to determine the value of aircraft against major naval vessels has been invited by Secretary Daniels in a letter to Secretary Haker. The first test will be conducted within ninety days, Mr. Daniels said, with conditions similar to those of battle. The captured German battleship Osfriesland, of 'J0,rW tons, probably will be used. Admiral It. E. Coontz, chief of naval operations, previously had told the house naval committee that within three months the Navy department would bomh a large warship from the air in the open sea in an effort to test the theory advanced by Ilrigadler Ceneral Mitchell of the army air service that airplanes had made capital naval vessels useless. Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican Uoor leader, who preceded Admiral Coontz, warned the committee that unless expenditures for military establishments were cut some larger nations would he driven Into bankruptcy. The United States should take the lead in disarmament, he said, adding: "If an agreement is not readied for tile limitation of armaments and warlike expenditures in the near future the fault will be that of America; as in former days the fault was that of Germany." Senate Prefers Blue SMOKING by employees is hold responsible for several fires that have recently occurred in government buildings. In at least one of these llres valuable archives' were destroyed. Senator Smoot of Utah has been trying to get in an amendment somewhere that would prohibit smoking during business hours. Nevertheless, the senate has declined to embark on the making of blue laws. Iy an overwhelming majority, it rejected an amendment by Senator Smoot banning smoking In the government departments. It did. however, adopt a mild substitute offered by Senator Wadsworth of New York, leaving It to the discretion of department heads to forbid smoking where valuable public records were endangered. Germany's Big Bill GKKMANY apparently is running up quite a bill in the matter of the pay of United States soldiers in the army of occupation. Senator McKellar of Tennessee made a statement the other day in brief as follows: Mr. McKcllar: Mr. President, I desire to make a statement in reference to the testimony of the Secretary of War a few days ago before the Military Affairs Committee of the Senate, as to the amount of the cost of our forces in Germany. The total cost of our forces in Germany up to date is the sum of $?,fjJ8,3-0. Up to Sepember .A ys2y Germany had paid S.T),i7o.ti."8, leaving a balance due the United States of $L-J?,0r4.eJ. Tho average cost to Germany, when she pays U, will be $71.218 lr day. There was a good deal of doubt in tho testimony which was adduced before our committee, and I have the figures up to September .'JO, UOK Since that time an examination 1ms been made, but up to date we have found no subsequent payments. At all event the very stupendous sum of S22S.0OO,0iO is due us by Germany today, and. o fur as I know, no efforts are bo-

"Ah," the little man exclaimed, after a moment's exertion, "now I've got you. "And we've got you!" shouted one of the newspaper men as the Itailles of the White House turned. Then the surprised reporters found themselves locking straight into the tortoiserimmed optics of none other than Newton D. Baker himself. "Well, boys," he said, "you've got me and I will confess," as he held up the brass' plate bearing the Inscription: "Newton I). Uaker, Secretary of War, March 0, 101G." t "You may call it lifting the loot If you will," continued the secretary, "but I want this plate as a souvenir of my stewardship." For mitigating circumstances the secretary took the reporters about the room and showed them how ho had been preceded by other light-lingered cabinet ollieers. Plates were missing from the chairs of the secretaries of state, commerce, and interior and the attorney general. "All those fellows beat me to it," the secretary said.

Against Battleship Discussing disarmament, Admiral Coontz advised against stopping any of the 101G building program so far as big ships were concerned. Secretary Daniels, in making public his letter, pointed out thnt by allied agreement the United States was obligated to destroy the Osfriesland, and other former German naval vessels given this country, as soon as exiK-ri-ments under way were concluded. He could think of no more fitting or usefill method of destroying them, lie said, than by using them in aviation bombing experiments. He intimated that the old battleship Iowa, already fitted with radio control apparatus, would be used for a similar purpose. The Osfriesland was one of the more modem battleships of the former kaiser's navy, mounting 12-iiich guns. It is fitted with a very thorough system of bulkheads and water-tight compartments. Air to Blue I .avs Spirited debate preceded the rejection of the Smoot amendment. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democrat, declared that the measure was adroitly framed so that it would not forbid senators and representatives smoking in the capitol, although It would prevent the president from enjoying an after-dinner cigar at the White House. Ho considered this unfair discrimination. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Republican, agreed with him. He called attention to the fact that the bill merely tabooed tho smoking of tobacco and insisted the measure .should be amended to cover "alleged" tobacco. "Some of the odors that arise in the cloak rooms from the cigars gentlemen are smoking, make me doubt whether they can be called tobacco," said Senator Knox. Senator Smith of Arizona. Democrat, characterized the measure as '"the entering wedge of a most contemptible and restraining blue law," and charged that its supporters were nonsmokers. Senator Smith deelared that if this sort of legislation were to be enacted the United States would raise a generation of "dudes and nincompoops." for U. S. Soldiers Ing made to procure the payment. 1 ask unanimous consent to put these figures in the Record.
