GIVING ADVICE.
Mrs. Charlotte R. Banks—lit the in
terest perhaps of hard pushed em
ployers who desire to do charity work
in ways which the world sees, but who
have little yearning to do Justice for
those who work for them, has under
taken to tell the public how a work
ing girl 1 . New York City can live
"comfortably nnd easily and save
money, too. on $6.50 a week."
It is comfortable to stl down and
figure these IhlngN out on paper, but
llie poor girl who tries to fit fad nnd
theory knows better than the rich
social worker what her money goes
Tor anil what ;fre the necessities of
life. In consequence Mrs. Bangs is
getting an avalanche of letters on the
subject from working girls and it must
be ndmitliHl that the working glrll
who subsists on $6.60 a week nnd
puts money in the bank appears to be
long to fiction rather than fact.
We suppose that people of Mrs.
Bangs' type mean well-in fact, most
persons who do real mischief In life
lo mean well- but, undoubtedly, Hits
foolish theorising does harm. It is
rery easy to persuade those members
»f the human family who live without
fonaclousiiess of the dire hardships of
Jfe that the poor can get along very
MMnfortably on absurdly small sums.
In the large cities, and especially In
New Yerk, where rents are high and
listances demand expenses for car
'aies, it is cruel lo solve llie con
wlances of employers by offering
'Alia clous arguments about living ex
penses. It may be possible for a sclf
lupporting girl lo eke out a cheerless
tnd discouraged existence on this
turn but it is utterly absurd to call
t living with comfort and ease.
We fear Mrs. Bangs is succumbing
o that very prevalent failing of
mowing more about other people's
mstness than it is possible to know
rtthout real experience and when
ve say expeiience we do not mean
■EjterlmentatUm. The actual needs of
> working girl—who has not time to
lo her own washing, who wears out
•veral pairs of shoes a year ts she
Mike to her work, or Is forced to
p*nd considerable sums in carfares,
t She rtdea, who should get strong ..nd
rholesorne food, to keep her efficient,
j»d who, though she may belong to
he poor classes, is not for that reason
, Complete automaton—ate exceed-
Ugly hard to realise.
The only person who can speak with
gaaon and authority on the subject Is
be working girl herself, She knows
nd we do tot think advice from the
rdl-to-do theorist Is going to give
*r anything but an attack of des
str and discouragement.
It is one of the peculiar vanities ,’f
»e Idle and non-productive classes to
It In Judgment on the poor and po. it
Ut thetr error*. If the poor w ere not
» Intensely engaged In thetr own
roblems and thetr own misfortunes,
ley might offer the same assistance
> their more fortunate patronesses
id patrons, but we doubt if much
kml ever comes from giving advice
It is a safe rule to give whatever
se you have to give, but in charity's
ime. to withhold advice.

MRS. FOX’S COAT-OF-ARMS.
Mr. Fox had been nut nil night, nnd
II w’h h about time to go home, at ill
he was empty mouthed, and he knew
if he went home without a nice goose
or hen for his wife she would be very
crows.
The moon was sllll shining, but it
would soon he failing from sight, so
Mr. Fox decided to make one more
try.

•‘There is Kartrmr Brian's hen
roost, *’ mid Mr. Kox, “which I have
not tried In a long time, and as l
have not been there lately no doubt
they will have reased to watch for
me and I shall be able to Ret In.”
So off he ran at the top of his speed,
for he ha«t no time to lose. Sure
enough the door was not only unlock
ed hut on the lateh, so alt Mr I'ox
had to do was to poke in Ills head and
select the fattest hen he could see.
and off he went with tl held tightly
in hts mouth.
Hut while he had succeeded in K:et
tlng his breakfast and Mrs. Fox’s also
he had aroused the watchful Rover.
Retail Storekeeping Is a Hard Business
Competition is keen. Expenses are
increasing. The profit margin is small.
The successful retailer has got to
make every ounce of energy count.
He must tak advantage of every legit
imate avenue of service.
For this reason shrewd retailers are
linking the location of their store to the
manufacturer's newspaper advertising.
When the manufacturer advertises a
standard product in the daily newspapers,
they back up the demand by showing the
goods and getting the benefit of the ad
vertising in their own cash register.

INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad
and when Mr. Fox was nearly homo
be heard footsteps and barking be
hind him.
Mr, Fox was a swift runner, and
as he had a great start he had no
trouble In outrunning his pursuer.
"Quick, lock the door,” he called to
Mrs. Fox as he ran into the kitchen.
"Farmer Briggs' dog is after me.”
Flick went the lock and Mr. Fox
was safe, and Hover was outside
scratching and barking all in vain.
"Now that is what I call a nice
looking hen and a good breakfast, ’’
said Mrs. Fox, "and we will have it
broiled. I have a nice fire. You sit
right down and snooze while l cook
It."
“You may call It a nice breakfast,
hut 1 call 11 a narrow escape for me,”
said Mr. Fox. “and if you expect me
to snooze with that Hover outside
harking and waiting to take my life,
you are mistaken, my dear. That dog
has entirely taken away mv appe
tite.”
“Well, well, 1 nm surprised you
should let a little thing like that up
set you,” said his wife. “I suppose I
will have to eat alone then," she said,
drawing her chair up to the table and
placing her breakfast before Iter.
Hover stopped barking for a minute
and Mr. Fox found his appetite, "(live
me a bit of the breast," he said. "I
think I might tie able to eat if that
dog would keep quiet.”
But Hover began again and Mrs.
Fox had to finish her breakfast alone,
which did not seem to cause her any
worry.
"You leave It to me. He will soon
he tired out and run away," she said.
Hut while Hover did tire he did not
run away instead he laid himself
down before the front door with his
head around the corner so he could
keep an eye on both ends of the Fox
house.
“There, now 1 guess you have done
it,” said Mr. Fox. "He is going to
stay right here, nnd 1 should like to
know what we are going to do; we
can't slny here all day and night
without anything to eat or drink."
"If you had filled the pail with
water before you went out last night
as I told you to do," said Mrs. Fox,
"we should have something to drink,
anyway."
THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Mr. Fox did not reply because he
knew he was in the wrong, and Mrs.
Fox peeked out through a crack In
the door at Hover.
“I have.it,” she said, tiptoeing hack
to her husband." Rover's tail is right
in front of the door.”
Mr. Fox watched his wife go to the
closet and return with the carving
knife, but he had no idea what she
had In her mind.
"Here,” she said, putting the knife
into Mr. Fox's hand, “I will open the
door very softly and you reach out
and chop off the end of his tail.”
Mr. Fox dropped the knife and
looked to sec if she was out of her
senses, but she picked up the knife
and handed it to him ugain.
“Come along," she said, going to
the door, and Mr. Fox, thinking he
might as well risk Hover catching
him as his wife’s anger, followed her.
Mrs. Fox did open the door so
softly that Hover did not hear, for he
had fallen into a dose, and the first
thing he knew he felt a sharp pain
at the end of ills tall. My, how he
did howl and run. He did not stop
running until he reached home, and
into his house he went to nurse his
poor tail.
“What are you going to do with
the tip of his tail?” asked Mr. Fox, as
his wife came in the house with he
tip of Hover’s tail.
“I am going to have a coat-of—
arms,” said his wife. “All the best
families have thorn and I have al
ways wanted one. I am going to nail
It on a board jfnd hang It on the wall
—or over the front door will be bet
ter, 1 think.. It will be a protection
as well us let everybody know we be
long to the aristocracy.”

AT THE STRAND
Not a single patron of the Strand
should miss the picture today.
Hobart Bosworth, under the Para
mount Program, is presenting “The
Country Mouse,” a four-part feature
play, written by himself. The pic
ture is shown every hour beginning at
10:80 a. m.
A synopsis of the story follows:
Billy ltalderson tHobart Bosworth),
is elected to the legislature, and tak
ing his wife, the "country mouse,”
(Adele Carrington), with him, moves
to tlie capital. About to be drawn in
to the clutches of the lobbiests, Oeorga
and Myrtle Marshall (Marshall and
Myrtle Stedmant, ltalderson proves
himself proof against temptation
where politics are concerned.
But the wiles of Mrs. Marshall are
fast making him forget his wife, Ad
die, and he spends most of his spare
time with the former. Addie over
hearing two female gossips referring
to her as "a little country mouse, a
poor little 'rump with no spirit,"
makes up her mind to meet Mrs. Mar
shall on her own ground.
With a blank signed check from her
luntband she enlists the services of
Mine. Pauline, proprietor of a beauty
parlor, and the result is such a com
plete transformation that she can
hardly believe her eyes.
Passing Billy on the street he does
not recognize her but something about
her apeparance makes him say to
himself: "My little country mouse
might look like that If "
An invitation to a ball and recep
tion being accepted. Billy leaves his
wife at home, and goes alone. Quick
ly the transformation is once again
gone over, and the country mouse ap
pears in the ballroom as a wonder
fully charming and brilliant woman.
Marshall being among those present,
quickly seizes his opportunity to per
suade Addie to influence Billy's vote,
and Billy finding them together in
what looks to him it compromising at
titude, is furiously jealous.
The donoument is cleverly turned to
a comedy finish, and the picture closes
happily, with Addie teaching her
hubby the latest tango dances.
The ('••p.-e production is so Interest
ing throughout that one is hardly
conscious that it has taken four re Is
to tell the story There is not a dull
moment in it, and good clean comedy
t< there in copious quantities. It
should add to the producers' reputa
tion.
TEXAS LIQUOR LAW HELD
INVALID BY STATE COURT
Austin, Texas.— The stringent AIU-
son liquor law prohibiting shipment of
liquor into dry territory in Texas was
today practically invalidated by a de
cision of the court of criminal appeals,
which Judge Prendergast, who pre
sided, said “wiped the law off the
statute books.”
Todays decision declares any person
or agent may'carry or ship liquor into
dry territory provided it is not the the
intention to use It for unlawful pur
poses or for re-sale in dry area. The
Allison law forbade newspapers to
carry liquor advertisements in dry
territory.

AT THE BIJOU
The present hill at the Bijou—“ The
Winning Widow”—is about one of the
funniest, and in every way most en
joyable shows presented here in tab
loid in some time.
The management of the Bijou an
nounces that for Saturday night, as a
special attraction, another "scenes
behind the scenes” feature will be
given immediately following the first
performance. In other words, to see
the "scenes behind the scenes” (the
very things you’ve always wanted to
see), be sure and be in the theater
before the conclusion of the first per
formance. Be in the house anyway
by 9 o'clock.
The "scenes behind the scenes"
feature for Saturday night will be
more realistic than the one time this
theater entertained its patrons in this
manner before. Every detail of
everything that transpires behind the
b g front curtain will be shown in full
view of the audience. If the doors to
any of the dressing rooms happen to
be open, you’ll see all that’s "going
on the doors are not always closed.
