ONE WOMAN'S WAY
THE STORY OF A GIRL'S FIGHT FOR SUCCESS

CHAPTER XXXV
SHOULD 1 wait or should I go
to the president at once? Or,
should 1 have a talk wih Mr.
Lawton and try to make him
:• e the necessity as well as the ad
visability of applying new methods
to a business last outgrowing the
old ones? J decided to try the lat
ter course. So gathering my courage
—it is not an easy thing to approach
an old employe with suggestions—
-1 asked Mr. Lawton if he could spare
me a few minutes.
“Certainly. Miss Morrison,’’ he re
plied, not too graciously.
I did not mention Annie’s name,
but suggested an improvement along
the lines she had suggested.
“That Annie Fagin has told you
that I would, receive no suggestions
as to how 1 should run my depart
ment. I realize. Miss Morrison, that
in many ways you are valuable to
the firm. But please understand
that ' 1 have been with them many
years and know how to run my de
partment.”
1 could see that the man was
trying to hold himself in check; to
be courteous to me; yet I also saw
that he was offended and thought
me intrusive and meddlesome.
“I am not questionijig your value
to the firm, Mr. Lawton. But with
the great expansion, or business, we
need every new, every modern
method available to simplify things
so that we may do the added busi
ness satisfactorily. The president
was talking with me along these
very lines only yesterday. He ap
proves of every innovation which
is practical and makes for efficiency.
Talk it over with him. You needn't
tell him that I—anyl—any one has spoken
to you about it. Present it your
self.” I thought by his so doing he
would be spared what he appeared
to consider a sort of disgrace—ac
cepting a suggestion from a woman.
Ho did as I proposed and submit
ted the plan as his otvn. It was
immediately adopted, but he did not
forgive Annie nor me. It made no
p:> -ticle of difference to me, as I
did not come in close contact with
lii.n. But he did all in his power
to make Annie unhappy, to hinder
,h'.r. and to show her that she was
si’ll in his mind the “chit” he had
called her.
It was another proof that women
, were to have the jealousy of men
,to fight against; not of big broad
,minded men—not as a rule—but of
men like Lawton, who could make
things unpleasant, even make girls
'lose their positions because-of this
I trait. It was so unfair that it rous
ed me to try and find away to over
jeome it, to make them see that if a
: woman could improve upon methods
Aised in business the fact of her be
[ing a woman should not debar her
I suggestions. So many times they
1 would not get to the proper source,
■as Annie’s had through my inter
' vention. but would lie unnoticed on
the desk of an immediate superior.
“My, but he’s grouchy with me!”
Annie remarked when we reached
home. “What did you say to him?”
I told her, and advised her to act
as if nothing had happened, as if it
really were Mr. Lawton’s own sug
gestion, not hers. She did. but he
was crabbed, and while not actively
unkind—he dared not be that I think
—he made Annie uncomfortable to
a degree. Also he annoyed me.
But everything has compensations
. nnd mine were love for my work,
intense interest in learning ail possi
ble connected with it. and thoughts
of Frank, our love for each other,
the happiness we would have in the
future. That near future which
THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GA. TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1919.
spread out so alluringly before me
and of which I never had a doubt.
I wonder if we would do better
could we know what the coming
weeks and months held for us? Usu
ally people think in this manner ot
years, not weeks. But my story Is
not of years, but of months, of the
crowded time after the war when ev
ery moment counted and the recon
struction of the worlds, of peoples,
of ideas, was the paramount ques
tion. When things moved rapidly,
pushing us along with them, gaining
momentum with every passing hour.
We were no longer a stagnant peo
ple. going along- in grooves with per
fect satisfaction. We were reaching
out for things new, things different
for which the war had bred a taste
in us. So I write my story in words
of weeks and months, but not in
years.
Yet when I think of my own part
in this rapidly moving system 1
know that the war work of years,
the broadening effect of it, went per
haps farther in fitting my mind into
such a receptive mood as gave me a
greater grasp of business affairs
than I realized. And also to deal
with the masculine element with
whom I came into contact and —into
conflict.
Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum
were noticeably different in busi
ness because of their differences in
sex. Tweedle-dee, being a woman,
had to prove her capacity in all di
rections. Tweedle-dum. being a
man. was too often taken on trust.
Chapter XXXVI
ZzYT 7 at has happened, Olive?”
\A/ ha<l nos observed that
V V Annie was looking at
me as I dressed for the
theater. She was ready first and
had come into my room to chat until
time to go.
“Why—nothing.” Then, “Why do
you ask?”
“Oh, yes, there has! You look so
happy tonight?”
“Happier than usual?” I asked,
laughing and flushing a little. When
she spoke I was thinking of Frank,
his last letter —that he soon would
be with me.
“Yes. much happier. You looked—
well, as I imagine a girl might look
who was in love and thinking of her
sweetheart. Come, ’fess up. Have
you one hidden away somewhere?’
She pretended to look for one.
“No, I haven’t hidden any one
away, so you may as wel stop look
ing. I had good news from an old
friend today and was thinking of It.
There, I am ready.’ I changed the
subject. Annie was verv bright, very
quick to notice any change in my
manner.
I have said little or nothing of
discouragements of which I natural
ly had many. Many things at first
merely perplexed me. I did not un
derstand either myself or those un
der my control as I should. Many
times when disagreeable things would
arise I would argue myself
into the belief that it was only tem
porary, that the beginning was hard,
but that as soon as I became thor
oughly accustomed to my duties
everything would go easily.
If anything. T was almost too
much of an optimist. Annie, while
an optimist also, could more easily
see the other side of a question than
could I in snite of her lack of manv
things which had been mine in the
way of education, etc. But when
ever discouragement came I forti
fied myself bv the thought of how
happy I should be when I should
have perfected rayself in my work to
such an extent as made my plan
for helping others feasible and by
think’ng of Frank and the under
standing and appreciation I was sure
would be mine.
The- woman investor was of real
importance in the field of finance.
She was worthy considering arid con
sideration. Really it was surpris
ing how many women there were
who were interested in investments.
Women are clever, they will not go
into investments blindly, they ask
questions, many questions. They
must have intelligent answers. I
must have women whom I could
train to give any sort of informa
tion our women clients wished about
investments. I put a premium on
this ability—with the firm’s consent,
of course. It was necessary. Women
were too apt to skim the surface
of information instead of delving

Alleged Confidence Men
Arrested in Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March B.—A
gang of alleged confidence men were
arrested at a local hotel at midnight,
in a raid by the police, who claim
they extorted from citizens under
false nretenses approximately $51.-
000, The men claimed to be repre
senting a Chicago mail order nouse,
the police state and were selling
profit-sharing certificates.
They gave their names as C. B.
Engle, George Scheff, B. Simon, H.
Bernstein. H. W. Weller. Alfred Ja
cobs and Henry all of Chi
cago.
co deeply into it that they were
equipped for any sort of questions,
preposterous as some of them were.
It was in this department where
most of my discouragements came.
At times I almost wept at the dis
appointments when a woman or girl
upon whim I had centered my hopes
would “peter out,” as Annie ex
pressed it, because they were not
thorough.
I often wondered if had I chosen
any other branch or business life if I
would have had as many disappoint
ments —not in the business, there
were none—but in women, their lack
of certain qualities so necessary to
big success, their appreciation that
dozens of roads were open to them if
they were earnestly seeking it.
But Frank’s letters kept my wom
an’s heart happy, even though I was
often anxious and worried. He would
not be long away, he assured me, and
then we never would be again sepa
rated.
I was thinking of this one night go
ing home in the subway. Annie was
with me, but she was reading the
evening paper. Suddenly the lights
were extinguished, and in a moment,
with a horrible jar that threw many
from, their seats, the train came to
a stop.
For a moment there was silence,
that intense silence which precedes a
storm of emotion. Then men shouted
and women cried. The doors had been
locked, so egress was impossible. The
darkness seemed the most intense 1
ever had experienced. The men be
came frenzied when they found the
doors were locked. They cursed and
fought each other. A woman sitting
next to me fainted and fell heavily
against me.
“Annie!” I whispered, and her hand
crept out and grasped mine. I had
been afraid she had fainted also. “Sit
still; don’t try to move,” I said to
her, as I tried to raise the woman
who lay heavily against my shoulder.
“What shall we do?” scramed a
woman, and a man cursed as he re
plied, while another called to her to
pray, that it was her last chance.
Then to my astonishment Annie
commenced to sing, not a hymn, but
a little simple song she had some
where learned. In almost an instant
the noise was hushed, while, her voice
gathered strength and filled the car
with music where before were only
curses. Light came suddenly; then,
after a moment, we began to move.
Annie stopped singing. We escaped
at the first station.
“What made you think to sing.
Annie?” I asked, still trembling.
“I have always heard that music
would quiet a crowd. I was in a
theater once when it got afire. The
folks acted just like they did in the
car till some one commenced to sing.
Then they were quiet, and got out
safely.’'

COTTON
NEW YORK. March 10.—There was a
renewal of heavy switching from old to
new style contracts at the opening of the
cotton exchange today. First prices were
firm at. a decline of 15 points on March,
but generally 30 to 70 points higher on the
old style months and from 25 to 65 points
higher on the new. Trade interests were
very heavy buyers of the old May and July
contracts against sales in the new style de
liveries. Old style May sold up to 23.12
or 72 points net higher and new style to
23.20 or 45 points net higher during the
early trading and later both deliveries
ruled around 23.00, while old style Octo
ber sold at 20.65 and new style at 21.05
or 40 points apart. Unfavorable weather in
the south and reports of delayed farm
work helped the general tone of the market.
The fluctuations were somewhat irreg
ular late rn the morning, but the general
tone of the market was steady on the re
ports of a better goods trade and unfavora
ble conditions for farm work in the south.
New crop contracts were relatively firm in
the new style months, while near mouths
were relatively firm in the old style with
March selling at 24.00 or 52 points ret
higher. New style deliveries ruled about 44
to 62 points net higher around midday with
May selling at 23.20 and October at 21.15.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. Mareii 10.—Higher
prices ruled in cotton today as the result
of a continuation of the demand which
started toward the end of the last -week,
shorts being large buyers of covers. In the
first, half hour of trading the old contract
months rose 15 to 66 points and the new
contracts rose 40 to 50.
In the trading up to noon old contracts
increased their gain to 35 to 66 points, but
the new contracts did not rise above the
early high levels. Reports of a gon t<>ne
in the spot department helped contracts.
A good demand was carried into the after
noon session and at 1 o’clock prices were
35 to 94 points up on the old contracts and
52 to 59 points up on the new.
The market showed continued steadiness
during the early afternoon with old style
May contracts ruling around 22.90 and new
style 23.15 and with new crop months gen
erally about 35 to 55 points net higher.

SHEPARD AND GLUCK COTTON LETTEP.
NEW ORLEANS, March 10.—The cotton
maintained a good tone today and was sup
ported by a good demand from shorts, espe
cially in the early trading, the extent of
the short interest is now a subject of much
comment, weather conditions continue un
far, cable and general business reviews are
written in a more optimistic vein. We think
the upward trend in values will persist.
JNO. F. CLARK i CO. COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, March 10. —General and
heavy rainfall in the central and eastern
states keep farm conditions in a state ot
ilc-lay. oMntgomery says all previous rain
fall'records back to 1892 were broken by
six inches of rainfall iu eleven hours, caus
ing a vast flood area. Indications arc for
more unsettled, rainy weather as another
rain disturbance is coming from the west.
Selma, Ala., says four inches of raiu,
still raining. Farming operations over a
month late. Good reduction in acreage
seems certain. Spots firmly held, well mar
gined.
Liverpool made a full response in futures
but quotes spots lower. This decline in
spots is evidently an adjustment to lower
freight rates and the cheapening of the basis
is favorable to larger mill demand for the
stuff.
While the market continued active and
steady the first hour, holding most of the
early gain, opinion is inclined to consider
the possibility of some reasonable reaction
after the good advance of the past four days,
ewjing to the expectation of unfavorable
comparisons in the coming census consump
tion publication for February and the final
• census ginning returns due on March 20.
According to the national ginners, February
consumption of our mills was only 460,000
vs. 510,000 last year and final ginnings
point to 11.580.000 bales.

CHICAGO. March 10.—Corn jumped in 1
price today mainly as the result of a 1
statement by Director General Hoover, of <
the inter-allied relief organization, tliat 1
there was a possibility of the cost of <
wheat reaching as high as $3.50 a bushel. 1
Opening prices, which ranged from %c to f
3 cents higher with May $1.33 to $1.34 and '
July $1.27% to $1.29, were followed by ,
decided further gains.
The close was firm, 2%c to 4%c net 1
higher, with May $1.35% to $1.35% and
July $1.29% to $1.29%.
Oats advanced sharply with corn.
Provisions, like grain, went skyward.

Dun’s index Number
Continuance of commodity price deflation
finds reflection in Dun’s Index Number of
wholesale quotations, which was $217,037 on
March 1, 1919. While this figure is only 1.4.
per cent below the $220,050 of a month
earlier, it is 5.7 per cent under the $230,-
146 of January 1 last and marks the fifth
consecutive monthly recession. More than
this, the present index number discloses
a decline of 6.9 per cent from the $233,227
of October 1, 1918—the high point of the
war period—and is lower, in fact, than at
any date since September 1, 1917. Compar
ing with the $227,977 of Marcli 1, 1918, a
reduction of 4.8 per cent is shown, but as
contrasted with the $120,740 of August 1,
1914. an increase of 79.8 per cent appears.
Unlike the previous month’s compilation
which registered downward revisions in
every instance, the March 1 index number
shows advances in three of its seven di
visions. The groups attaining higher levels
on that date than on February 1 were those
embracing meat, "other food” and miscel
laneous. but in no case was the rise impor
tant and the recession of 7.2 per cent in
dairy and garden products aloife was suf
ficient to carry the total of all classes .to
a lower basis. Next to dairy and garden
articles, clothing reflected the largest re
adjustment, with a decline of 4.2 per qent,
and metals yielded 1.3 per cent, but in
breadstuffs, the change was trifling. From
the high mark of October 1 last, all of the
seven divisions into which the index number
is separated disclose reduction, excepting
“other food” and only that clas sand mis
cellaneous were higher on March 1 of this
year than on the same date last year.
In the following table is given Dun’s In
dex Number of wholesale quotations for
March 1, 1919. with comparisons for earlier
dates.
