SPIES JT CAPITAL Guards and Doorkeepers Serve No Purpose. Recent Theft of the Plans for New Battleship Not an Isolated Case— Big Business Interests Seek “Inside Information.” Washington.—The flurry occasioned here recently by the disclosure of the fact that certain tracings of the plans for the projected new battleship Pennsylvania had been stolen from the navy department served to enliven a dull period and add a note of excitement to the waning discussion of the California-Japanese •‘crisis.” The officials of the navy department seem entirely in good faith in their declaration that the missing tracings are of comparatively small importance, and do not disclose any ‘ naval secrets which would be of value to anybody. _ The experience has been a valuable one, if only because it has brought to notice a condition of carelessness and loose management making it possible for any person In or out of the department to purloin papers or other things of value. The same is true of nearly all of the departments. The corridors of all the public buildings are lined with so-called doorkeepers and messengers ; more than would be needed to guard the treasures of royalty. Generally speaking, they serve no purpose whatever except to multiply the annoyance of persons having legitimate business in the department. Right under the noses of this horde of hangers on, and of regiments of clerks to say nothing of bureau chiefs—information of supposed value is taken, and no one the wiser. Evidently the drawing first stolen was disappointing; for several weeks later a duplicate, presumably in a more finished condition, was stolen from the same room. And there have been other thrifts since of things of lesser value, bu; all contributing to indicate that some one within the navy department was guil'-y. As usual, the empty stable was carefully locked and a force of detectives was set to wftrk to wAtch every person who might have access to the place. It is typical of the present state of the public mind that there should be all this furore over a thing of this kind, affecting the subject of war. The theft of a so-called •‘military secret” is received with a gtisto attaching to no other kind of theft. Espionage of forts and ships and “such like is no doubt a terrible thing, and the foreign “spy” or domestic traitor who does it should be forthwith arrested and visited with dire penalties. Yet upon second thought one wonders of what special use it would be to a foreign naval commander to know, however minutely, the system of electric wiring on the ship with which he was going forth to do battle. With which of his heavy guns will he aim so accurately as to cut the slender nerve that controls the forward turret or all the turrets of the enemy? Gunnery has attained remarkable perfection, no doubt; but hardly has it reached the point where the location of wires becomes a part of the curriculum of the gunner. As for the general plan and construction of the battleship, everything practical that one could learn from drawings may be observed by any visitor upon the beautifully accurate models Of*the ships of the United States navy which line the corridors of the navy department and afford material for the eloquence of a score of guides. It is ‘most likely that some poor creature in one of the navy department bureaus saw in these drawings for the Pennsylvania, so ready to his hand and unprotected by even the most superficial system of care, a chance to peddle supposedly valuable secrets to the naval attache of some foreign embassy. In any club of Washington you can hear plausible tales of this sort of thing, the nation of the alleged offender varying with the nationality of the narrator. Now, you must be careful of the celery you eat. Almost everything else edible has been Celery Undec condemned or ofSuspicion. ficially “suspected” at one time or another, but celery has managed to escape up to this time. Now the department of agriculture has discovered that there is copper in lots of celery, and has issued a warning to housewives to give It a good washing before putting it on the table. The copper comes from a spray used by the farmers to kill bugs. The department says: “The use of salts of copper in food products was decided by the referee board to be deleterious to health. Under food inspection decision, 148 and 149, the importation of canned fruits and canned vegetables greened with copper has been stopped. This is parallel to the laws of France, where the use of copper vessels is forbidden in packing food products. “The proof of the presence of copper in raw celery was obtained by analysis of samples offered for sale in the markets of the District of Columbia and other cities. Analysis of four different samples of celery showed that before washing the edible part of the outside stalks contained from 9.1 to 29.2 parts of copper per million, or less than one-sixth to one-half of copper per two and one-quarter pounds of celery. "The copper in the Inside or heart of stalks was much smaller in amount

Dense Air Magnifies Sound. It Is said that a man in a balloon may lower an explosive on a cord several hundred feet below his basket and set It off with an electric wire and battery. There is a sharp “crack” like the report of a flobert rifle, then comes the most terrifying noise, like a great burst of thunder, the loudest ever heard. The actual explosion did not make anywhere near this amount of poise,•'but the air being much more dense below causes the line of least resistance to be straight up, and so

and ranged from 3.3 to 10.3 parts per million.. In the leaves of the celery, however, which are parts of the plant especially sprayed with bordeaux mixtures there were found from 157.6 toj 285.-4 parts of copper per million parts. The chemists found that most of the copper in the inner and outer stalks disappeared on washing." The United States Treasury handled In actual cash during the fiscal year ended June 30 the U. S. Handies stupendous sum Many Billions. of *7,0-1,530.000. breaking all records and stamping the federal treasury, officials declare, as the greatest banking institution in the world. Reflecting the tremendous growth of the government's business, this high record, including Income, outgo and operations within the treasury, exceeded the cash transactions of the year by $469,769,000, and those of three years ago by $1,478,826,000. The figures show that treasury officials during the year just Closed handled in cash nearly twice the amount of the total stock of money in the United States, which is estimated at $3,720,000,000. Including bonds, checks and warrants, the treasury handled over $lO,000,000,000 during the year. This vast aggregation of wealth, which does not include the transactions of the subtreasuries, was handled, it was pointed out, without the loss of a cent to the government. The receiving teller of the government took in over the counter $75,353,000 during the year; the paying teller cashed $118,177,000 in checks and warrants; the shipping teller sent $884,518,000 to various parts of the country, and the “change teller” made “small change" for more than $50,000,000. The government received for redemption during the year $606,666,000 in time-worn United States currency and $675,889,000 in national bank notes. Not a few of the president’s visitors from the upper branch of congress call upon PreslWhy Senator dent Wilson to Vanished. make strong kicks against provisions in the pending tariff bill which hurt thei* constituents. Officials at the Wh'fe house assert that they do not believe senators fear President Wilson as ] inch as they did President Taft. Senator Taylor of Tennessee was one of Presidept Taft’s visitors who was always welcome. There was one tlm'i, however, when Senator Taylor went to the White house that he did not go in to see the president. It was the day after the Democrats and insurgents in the senate had united to pass a wool bill. Senator Taylor felt that the president might be just a little Irritated, because there was no gainsaying the. fact that some little politics had been in that alliance. Moreover, Senator Taylor is tactful. He put his head in the main door of the executive office, looked around suspiciously, and asked the assembled newspaper men: ' “How are things going this morn ing?” “The president has wool in his teeth. He can certainly eat ’em alive,” answered a reporter. “Oh, I didn’t have any business with him this morning andWoaust hustle up to the capitol,” said the senator meekly, and quickly vanished. Boys Pick Up Gold. The gold fever has hit Capitol I hill and the small boys of the. neighborhood of the library of congress spend the idle summer hours waiting for bits of gold to drop from the dome of the beautiful building. This massive gold dome, which cost $50,000, is peeling its golden sides and the gold leaf fairly covers the grass below the dome. An appropriation will be made by congress for money to regild the dome and then the golden shower will be stopped. Diogenes’ Quarry. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt believes he has found the most honest man in the country. He is A. W. Wechsler of Watertown, N. Y. Recently Mr. Roosevelt received a letter from the Watertown man, inclosing a lead pencil. This is what the letter said: “Inclosed find your pencil, which you left on my news stand when you wrote your telegram.” Corrects Geographical Error. Knud Rasmussen, the young Danish explorer, has made the important discovery that the so-called Peary channel at the northern end of Greenland does not exist, and that Peary Land is not an island, but a portion of Greenland. Rasmussen started on his expedition on July 10. 1910. He is a native of Greenland, the son of a Danish clergyman and a pure-blood-ed Eskimo. From infancy the explorer has spoken Eskimo, and has devoted much study to the language philologically, so that he knows itbetter, perhaps, than any other person. As a youth he undertook voyages in Scandinavia, the Faroe islands and Iceland. Too Busy. Gotham —How many buttons has your wife got on the back of that dress? Flatbush —Oh, I’m sure I don’t know.

HOW ADS FOR LARGE STORES ARE HANDLED Constitutes an Important Element of Actual “News” and Preparation Requires Care. That the advertisements in a newspaper constitute an important element of actual “news” and that the preparation of them requires a highly specialized sort of knowledge and training, are considerations which often fail to enter the consideration of the readers of the daily newspaper. However, this is the case. Os the thousands of people who read the newspapers, a very large proportion are interested in the advertisements. The Immense number of women who purchase the family clothing and household supplies, in particular, depend upon the advertisements, reading them with care and watching them as closely as the investor in stocks and bonds watches the financial news. Indeed, the advertising columns are financial departments, in a very real sense of the word, to the domestic economist Os the work, the thought and the careful preparation that goes into the • preparation of a clever advertisement, that it may attract the eye of the reader and hold his attention, few of its perusers take any cognizance. Still fewer realize what a truly all-round person the advertising manager must be. Must Know Human Nature. For to fill the bill, he must know human nature, clothes and drygoods, from A to Z. He must keep abreast of the times and the fashions. He must be an e«pert judge of values, and he must be possessed of a peculiar extra “sense,” that he may know and seize the psychological moment where in to spring a particular sale. Given the man and the fitness thereof, it is interesting to know how the big department store advertisements in Milwaukee, for instance, are planned by the advertising managers, who rank, by the way, foremost among men in that special line in this country. The methods which prevail here are typical, with immaterial difference, of the same work throughout the country. * Especial sales are of two kinds — the big periodical sales, which are planned for months in advance, and which come about as unfailingly and regularly as the seasons, and the quick special sales, of merchandise suddenly acquired. The last sales are heralded by the buyer for that department, who tells the office of certain merchandise which he has unexpectedly bought. The buyer and the advertising man hold consulation, and-when the goods arrive they visit the warehouse and look them over. If, in the sober judgment of the advertising manager, they prove equal to the buyer’s enthusiastic description of them, the advertising man decides to give them a place in his advertisement on a certain day. The proportionate size of this space is based upon the percentage of that department’s sales. Then the buyer, an assistant buyer, and a person at the head of the stock confer with the advertising manager and decide on the best way of putting the sale to the public. The advertising manager has the responsibility of seeing that proper provision is made for the display of the goods, the arrangement of the display tables, etc. Then he writes his advertisement The buyer meantime, has jotted down for him the interesting points in connection with the goods, and from these the advertisement is worked out Much Thought Required. When it is remembered that a big store may well have special sales in a dozen different departments at one time and that each one is conducted as carefully as this, the amount of labor and thought required may be imagined. The advertising, manager is always .wo or three days ahead in his work. The copy must be sent to the newspapers on one day, is set up, a proof returned the next day, the proof is corrected and returned to the paper in time for publication that night. After the advertisement appears in the paper copies are sent to the various men in the store who are interested. It is cut into sections and each department manager receives his 'own One store makes a practice of requiring each manager and each sales person in a department to read the advertisement and sign it. Whatever the method, each salesperson is required to be familiar with the advertisement, that they may know exactly what is on sale. li| case of big sales, a conference of managers and salespeople is held, and a talk given on the goods in order to ere(ate interest and enthusiasm. The periodical sales are planned at least three months in advance, after conferences with the buyers and the heads of departments, and much the same method of procedure is followed, save that time is longer and the operations more extensive. Daily records are kept of all sales in the various and the idea is to have each day’s sales meet or excel those of the corresponding day the year before. If this doesn’t come about in the natural course of events, it is forced by price cutting on special line, which is an added reason why women should watch the newspar pets for news of sales that sort of drop down out of the blue, as it were. Don’t call a man a liar. Just tell dm he handles the troth very careloaalv

ADVERTISING MAXIMS. Nothing endures like truth—especially in advertising. Advertising isn’t effective as an occasional treat, but as part of a regular business diet. It must bs splendid to be a successful man; but much better still to be a great one, even In obscurity. We have known persons who could write a good advertisement, and then revise It until there was nothing much left. A great many more things—some of them pleasanter ones —would come to them who wait, if they wouldn’t stand still to wait. One day’s work will mean more knowledge hammered in, to stay, than could be acquired by the book-learning process In months. What profiteth it a man to sell a*lot of goods, and have his customers come around the next day and beat him up because they aren’t satisfied? There Is, with some people, such a thing as dishonest honesty—present honesty practiced for the building of a smooth, broad pavement to future dishonesty. If your advertising does not pay It should be made to pay. Right methods should take the place of wrong ones. To stop advertising will not reimburse past losses, and prevents the possibility of future profits. Persons who read advertising because of its smartness or humor are SOMETIMES likely to think more of these qualities than of the goods advertised. Show any man how to increase his business—how to make more money—and he’s your friend forever. —J. B. Powell. A true sportsmap does not quit the field because he missed the first shot.

INDUCES PEOPLE TO BUY What Barnum Meant, According to Merchant, When He Said People Liked to Be Swindled. “ ‘The American people like to be swindled,’ ” quoted a well known merchant the other day. “I believe it waa old P. ’’’. Barnum who said something like that, although I guess those are not the exact words of the noted showman. “The idea is exemplified, however, in our everyday life as is evidenced by the modern world of advertising. I want to draw a fine line distinction, however, and I believe that Mr. Barnum really meant the same thing. I don’t mean that the people are swindled through advertising, but that they are induced by means of advertising to buy many things which otherwise they never would have thought of. “In the same way I believe that Mr. Barnum did not mean that he swindled people in his show business; he thought he gave them value received, and I think he did, but when he said that he meant that if it wasn’t for the way he advertised not halt the people would come to see his show that did. And it is almost the same way with modern business houses. Did you ever stop to consider that a really successful house has something going on all the time? They have a June sale and a July sale and a white sale and a black sale and a summer sale and a winter sale and every other kind of sale for every day of every week of the entire ■ year. “And then through the newspapers they tell the public of these sales and the public reads and comes and buys. And by that means the stores grow and prosper, the newspapers grow and prosper, the public lives better and a higher plane, for after all this advertising in a sort of public educational system. People may buy more than they would otherwise, but they reap ample benefits.” An Advertising Story. At a recent gathering of advertising men in New York this story was told: A man entered a store one bitter cold day and bought a woolen muffler. When he opened the muffler he found inside it the photograph of a beautiful girl, together with a note saying: “If you are single, please ,write tc me.” A name and address followed, and the man smiled. He was single, and he put the photograph on his sitting room mantel. There, every evening, looking up from his book, he beheld it. It was very beautiful and in a week he had fallen head over heels in love. So he wrote to the girl. Another week passed, a week or anxious nerve-racking suspense. Then the lovesick man received this crush ing letter: “Sir: —The Mary Smith to whom you wrote was my grandmother. She died nine years ago, aged eighty-six. Yours truly, ’’ Our heart-broken bachelor, on looking into this strange matter, found that he had foolishly bought the muffler from a dealer who didn’t advertise. Store Service Valuable. Louis J. Heckler, in a talk on retail advertising at the Pittsburgh Public-' ity association, advised the use of all novel methods in advertising for the small retailer. He held that store service to customers was an invaluable factor in modern merchandising. In Company. In mixed company, among acquaintances and strangers, endeavor to learn something from all.

6TH CORPS AT FORT STEVENS Member of 3rd Vermont Relates Seme Personal Experiences—Notables Witnessed Fighting. The article published recently in regard to placing a large stone at Fort Stevens as a memorial to the battle of July 12, 1864, calls to mind some personal experiences there. As a member of the old Vermont brigade I had been all through the strenuous campaign from the Wilderness to Petersburg, and was several weeks on that line, when on July 9 we had orders to move to City Point. This we found to Include the whole Sixth Corps, or at least what had not already gone. We marched in the night a distance of about fourteen miles, then took transportation to Washington, arriving on the 11th, writes George A. Farrington of Company A. 3rd Vermont, of Elgin, 111., In the National Tribune. General Early had been sent Into Maryland to create a scare, so as to compel General Grant to weaken his line in front of Petersburg, and this force had already arrived at the line of forts around Washington. As we marched through the city the citizens were much relieved. As we> passed up Seventh street we were welcomed in a truly friendly manner, and the Greek cross never looked so good before to any people. General Gordon has said: “On July 11. 1864, the second day after the battle of Monocacy, we were at the defenses of Washington. We were nearer to the national capital than any armed Confederates had ever been, and nearer to it than and federal army had been to Richmond. 1 myself rode to a point on those breastworks at which there was no force in sight. The unprotected spacs was broad enough for the easy passage of Early’s army without resistance. Undoubtedly we could have marched into Washington, but in the council of war called by General Early there was a dissenting opinion as to the impolicy of entering the city.” After the Sixth Corps had taken a, position and had time to get ready a strong line was moved forward shortly after 4 o’clock, July 12. and a sharp fight took place, in which the Union loss was 280 and the loss on the other side was about the same It is said that this battle took place in the presence of a more distinguished group of spectators than witnessed any other action of the war. President and Mrs. Lincoln. Secretary Stanton and other members of the cabinet and several ladies came out to Fort Stevens during the afternoon to see some actual fighting, and Mr. Lincoln remained during the action. I chanced to be in the line a few rods to the left of Fort ptevens, and knew when Mr. Lincoln was there, but I did not see him. We were all busy watching the effects of the large shells from the fort and expecting to be ordered forward at any moment. This battle was the first of the cam paign in the Shenandoah valley, which culminated at Cedar Creek under Gen. Sheridan. After the work was done in the valley we returned to the lines in front of Petersburg, and well do I remember the trip from Harper’s Ferry to Washington on a cold winter night on a platform car. In the morning we were covered with about six inches of snow. TO BUY ANTIETAM LANDMARK Dunkard Church on Battlefield May Be Sold to Government to Be Used for Office. It is now said on good authority that the United States government is desirous of acquiring the old Dunkard church on Antietam battlefield, and that the war department will use it as an office, if It can be purchased, according to the Baltimore News. The church is a small, rough cast structure, bqilt In 1851, and it is located along the Hagerstown and Sharpsburg turnpike, near Bloody Lane. It is still used for services by the Manor' congregation. Church of the Brethren, and the congregation wishes to dispose of the property. The title to the church, however. Is complicated, as the deed of gift for the site from Samuel Mumma provided that it be used by the Church of the Brethren to erect a house of public worship thereon and hold therein their services. Any deviation from this purpose would, in the opinion of lawyers, cause title to revert to the Mumma heirs, who are numerous and scattered. The Maryland monument is near the church, also those of Indiana, New Jersey and the Philadelphia brigade. Colonel's Wife. Colonel Y’erger’s wife was a constant source of embarrassment to him. Colonel Yerger once gave a dinner party to a few select ladies and gentlemen. Os course, he was called upon for an after-dinner speech. Colonel Yerger got up and began: “Ladjes and gentlemen, unprepared as I am —being wholly unprepared to make a speech—not having expected—” There was a painful silence, which was broken by Mrs. Yerger. “Why, Colonel, you knew your speech perfectly this morning.” Bottle of “Things.” Colonel Dorr of the Eighth lowrf cavalry was strict. He issued orders against bringing any whisky into camp, gam Rucker of Company K one day brought In a quart of whisky and hid It. That night some of the boys stole It, and Sam went up to the colonel and told him that he had been robbed. “Robbed of what?” asked the coloael. “Robbed of a bottle,” said Sam. “A bottle of what.” “A bottle of things,” said Sam.

PRIZE SERMON WAS DONE FOR Presence of Policeman Took the Attention of the Congregation From the Words of the Pastor. On a recent Sunday the pastor of a New York church preached a sermon which he had hoped would be particularly effective. Shortly after launching upon his theme he found that the audience, while not creating any real disturbance, was by no means attentive. All of his hearers kept turning their heads every little while and glancing furtively toward the rear of the church. Finally the pastor cast a penetrating glance of his own into that vague region. He discerned a policeman sitting In a pew near the door. “I knew then,” he said, when speaking of the Incident afterward, “that the prize sermon was done for. so far as its hold on my congregation was concerned. The policeman had their attention until the end of the service. It is a curious fact that nowhere does a policeman create such a sensation as in a church. He may go Into a theater, a lecture room or a political meeting and nobody except the obstreperously inclined pays any attention’to him; but just let him step inside a church, and he causes a real commotion. I don’t know why. Certainly nobody expects to be arrested during the service.” For Nerves. A case of "nerves” is like a bad habit, easily acquired and hard to get rid of. Nervousness affects the digestion, dulls the eyes, giving a strained look to the muscles of the face, and if allowed Its course, will even make the hair thin. So the woman who wants to be beautiful must keep an eye on the state of her nerves. The best cure for nervousness Is rest. Rest is an art known to few women. The only way a woman may repose and relax the body and nerves Is by actual will power. Carrots are prescribed by physicians and beauty doctors alike as a cure for nervous indigestion. You are told to eat them three times a day, either cooked or raw. Young onions or scullions are excellent eaten with plenty of salt; also lettuce with salt and plenty of olive oil, but no vinegar and red pepper. Sleeplessness Is the greatest menace that tired or overwrought nerves have for beauty and health. Sleep may be induced by warm milk, sipped slowly, If this Is ineffective, by long draughts of cool water and a cold bandage around the brow. Somersault by Aeroplane. Capt. Aubry of the French army is said to have accomplished a complete somersault while aboard an aeroplane high above the earth. “I was returning after a thirty-five minute flight," the captain says, “facing a wind of about twenty-two miles per hour. My altitude was about 2,500 feet At the moment of descent a series of violent gusts struck the machine. As I dipped the nose of the machine a couple of quick gusts struck the top of the main plane and placed me In a verltlcal position. While endeavoring to manipulate the elevator, I found the machine had taken me In a perfectly vertical chute to less than 1,500 feet. It here adopted a horizontal attitude upside down and proceeded to effect a tall first volplane.” Continuing, he says: “The machine then gradually took up the vertical position again, describing a gigantic ‘S’ while doing ao. Flattening out, I flew to a spot about two miles distant” Has Made His Own Way. William C. Redfield, the new secretary of commerce, began making his way in the world at fifteen. At that age he was employed as a clerk In the Pittsfield (Mass.J post office at three dollars a week. His next step was as salesman for a paper company. From Pittsfield he went to New York, securing a similar place with a paper house. Some time later he became an accountant for a tool manufacturing company, rose to the presidency of the concern, and after thirty years as a manufacturer resigned, having been elected to congress.
