True Stories of Successful Women

By Edith Morlarty

Sarah Robins, twenty-one-year-old general manager of a large foreignAmerican shipping corporation, in. addition to being the youngest traffic manager, is the only -women in the business. Sarah came to this country from Russia when she was seven years old. She was born with an almost unpronounceable surname which the family dropped as soon as they arrived in this country because they did not want to be called foreigners. Sarah has been taking care of herself since she was twelve years old. She went through the grammar school and then earned her own way through commercial high school in an eastern city by doing stenography for the professors at the university in the town and by coaching backward students. She thinks it was her ever present desire to be better than anyone else

at anything she did which brought success to her so early in life. For a while she wanted to be the world's champion typist and she did manage to become champion at her school. It was but three short years ago that she answered an advertisement which the shipping company ran in a daily paper. A woman "of executive ability to take charge of an office" were the requirements. Was Too Young The man who intervrewed Sarah told her she was too young, but after he talked with her he hired her for

$12 a week. She thought that if she! were to be engaged in foreign trade j she ought to know all the trade routes. ! And so she studied up at home on j home and foreign traffic and routing

as well as deeper things like insurance, banking and shipping legislation. Today she has beneath the glossy hair on her young head an encyclopedia of facts and figures about marine in

surance, foreign credits, interstate j

commerce laws, risks and banking. She works from 9 o'clock in the morning until her work is done, which may be almost any time up to 8 or 9 at night.

She claims that although much ofi the work is difficult th: greatest) handicap for her has been her youth-1

f ul appearance. She found it hard i to gain the confidence of many of the j men in the business. J Once when she was attending to the leasing of a new office building for the firm the agent refused to talk business to "such a kid," but she changed his mind about it after receiving a telegram from the head office. It was not very long ago that Miss Robins sat through all the sessions of the National Industrial Traffic clubs' convention and she was the only woman present and she made speeches along with white-haired men twice her age. Miss Robins is a modest, dainty little person, dark-eyed, round-cheeked, looking for all the world like a stylish young boarding school miss. It ia readily seen why some of the older men are loath to trust to her judgment. Although she can do a man's work getting shipments onto railroads and steamships and protecting them from point of origin to point of destination, there is one thing she can not do. She can not become a member of one of the largest traffic clubs in the country because she is a woman. Had to Support Self. She did not enter the business world as so many girls do just to tide over what they consider a space of time until they find husbands. She had to support herself and she intended to do it by becoming expert in whatever she did. She entered a business which was new to women and she studied it from every angle and is still studying it. Because she feels that America has been neglecting her opportunities in South America she has been studying Spanish so that she will be prepared when activities and negotiations are begun down there or so that she may .aid her company to be one of the first to enter the field. She argues that just as the war ended local geographic boundaries until there are no trade limits for America except economic ones so the only thing which limits an American girl in business is her ambition. She herself is a good proof of the truth of her argument, for while she was only earning twelve dollars a week three years ago. today she is but twenty-one and she is drawing a salary of $3,500 a year, owns an interest in the business, is a director in the company, manager of the office in New York city and creator of sensations at traffic men's conventions, where she gets up and talks in meeting about foreign trade, the future of the merchant marine, breakage, leakage, insurance, and such things before

HOMEMADE WINES,

Elderberry Wine To one quart of berries add one quart of water. Leave berries in water four days. Stir up every day. Then boil this mixture one hour. Strain through cheesecloth. When nearly cold add one pound sugar to every quart of wine. When cold toast a slice of bread brown, spread one compressed yeast cake on one side of toasted bread, put this on top of wine yeast side uppermost. Let stand ten days. Then bottle, adding one ounce cinnamon bark, six small cayenne-pods, one-half pound

desert raisins cut in two, to one gallon wine. This is a good and tested recipe; the longer wine is kept, the better It is. Backberry Wine One gallon berries, one gallon water, three pounds granulated sugar to each gallon of fluid. Mash the berries as for jam, pour on water, let stand for twenty-four hours. Strain and add sugar. Let stand five days, strain again and skim every morning until through fermenting. Let stand until good, which will be about four weeks. Strain again and put away in jug or bottles. THE TABLE. Bacon Omelet Cut thinly sliced bacon in small squares: there should be one-half cup. Wash, pare, slice and cut potatoes in one-quarter-inch cubes; there should be one cup. Fry bacon until crisp and brown, and drain. To bacon fat add potatoes and fry until delicately browned; then drain and mix with bacon dice. Make a French omelet: Fold half the bacon and potato with omelet, turn on a hot platter and surround with remaining potato and bacon. Garnish with parsley. (Left-over potatoes may be used.) Fig Tapioca One-fourth cup tapioca, two cups hot water, one-half teaspoon butter, one-half cup chopped figs, one cup cold water, one cup sugar, one tablespoon lemon juice one-half teaspoon vanilla, one-half teaspoon salt.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I came here

less than a week ago after having a

row with my father. My home Is in Chicago where he and my brother are in business. I am nineteen, graduated last month and now because I do not want to go further in school he insists that I learn the business.

I hate manufacturing. I want to go to an aviation school, but he will not listen to it or anything else I suggest. So I helped myself to funds and left If he misses the money he knows who took It. I suppose he could make me go back, only he will not see this letter, so he will not know where to locate me. Can he actually force me to learn the business at the factory? I do not see how he can make me take an interest in it when I detest every bit of

It. The only other thing he will consent to Is college, but that means to take a course in law, another thing I detest. The truth of it is, he wants to run me just as he runs my brother. I want something to say myself. Isn't that perfectly all right? I intend to go back before I go broke, but I like it here so long as my money holds out. They won't worry much. My mother took her hay fever up to the pines In Michigan and my dear aunt arrived on tap, with her insomnia and liver pills, to look after things in general, but me in particular. I happen to know she loves me about as much as an attack of Indiges

tion. So I am simply saving her a lot

of unnecessary worry. Besides, I

have gone away before, only I am going to stay longer this time. If I could choose a course In engineering I would not mind college so much. But it looks as if I have no right to say anything. There seems to be two chances for me, either to be a perfectly rotten lawyer or a slave to the factory. I would rather be a chauffeur than either. Dont you think as I do that he ought to have some choice? Or do you agree with my father that at least until I am twenty-one I should be under his thumb. I will be glad to hear your ideas. H. K. You have forgotten your responsibility to yourself. We are all given an

opportunity to see what we can do with our own characters. No one fights his battle without obstacles. Your obstacle Is your father's strong will. I do think he has made a mistake in driving you along lines which do not Interest you in the least. Has it entered your mind that you are a common thief? To be a thief is a very serious matter, and unless you change your methods in life you will spoil it completely and be branded as a criminal. Do not go home until you have worked out the wrong you have done. Get a position and work to the utmost with tjie idea of paying back to your father every cent you stole. When he

sees that you can take care of yourself when you are given freedom, he will be willing that you should stay where you are, working out your life

In a better way than he could guide

you.

I have confidence that you will see your mistake and will want to prove to all that you are a man of character and honor.

Experts or Theorists Which? The packing industry is intricate, complexfar more so than the railroads or the telegraph. Every day multiplying needs of society increase its problems and multiplying responsibilities demand more of it. Highly trained experts, specialists of years' experience, thinkers and creative men, devote their lives, their energies, their activities, to solving the problems of the packing industry and meeting its widening duties. Swift & Company is not a few dozen packing plants, a few hundred branch houses, a few thousand refrigerator cars, and a few million dollars of capital, but an organization of such men. It is the experience, intelligence, initiative and activity which operates this physical equipment. Can this intelligence, this experience, this initiative and creative effort which handles this business at a profit of only a fraction of a cent per pound from all sources, be fostered through the intervention of political theorists, however pure their purposes? Or be replaced by legislation? Does Congress really think that it can?

OUT CATAR1I

It May Not Be Troubling You During the Warm Weather, But It Is Still In Your Blood.

Catarrh is not only a disgusting disease but is a dangerous one. and you should never let up

in your efforts to get it out of your system until you have done it thoroughly. Get rid of it, whatever it costs you in trouble and money. There is no use in permitting yourself to be deceived. Perhaps, like thousands of others afflicted with Catarrh, you are about ready to believe that the disease is incurable, and that you are doomed to spend the remainder of your days hawking and spitting, with no relief in sight from inflamed and stop-ped-up air passages that make the days miserable and the nights sleepless. Of course this all depends upon whether or not you are willing to continue the old-time make-shift methods of treatment that you and many other sufferers have used for years with no substantial results. You must realize that the dis

ease itself, and not its symptoms, is what you hove to cure. Of course you know that when you are cured of any disease its symptoms will disappear. Catarrh manifests itself by inflammation of the delicate membranes of the nose and air passages, which choke up and make breathing very difficult. To get rid of these distressing effects you must remove their cause. Don't be misled into thinking your Catarrh is gone. The first

touch of winter weather will bring it back with all of its discomforts. The blood is laden with the Catarrh germs, which direct their attack against the tender and delicate membranes of the nose and throat. These germ -5 cannot be reached by sprays cr douches, which, of course, have no effect whatever upon the blood. Mild weather will aid th'j treatment and this is an excellent time to thoroughly cleanse the blood of the germs of Catarrh and be forever rid of tho troublesome sprays and douches that can only relieve you for the time. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy, made from roots and herb? direct from the forest, which combat promptly disease germs or impurities in the blood. This great remedy has been used for more than fifty years, with most satisfactory results. It has been successfully used by those afflicted with even tht severest cases of Tatarrh. It

I relieves catarrh by treating tho

disease at its source. S. S. S. ir. sold by druggists everywhere. For the benefit ot those afflicted with catarrh or other blood diseases, we maintain a medical department in charge of a specialist skilled in these diseases. If you will write us fully we will give your case careful study, and write you just what your own individual case ; enquires. No charge is made for this service.
