THINKS MARKETING ONE OF LOST ARTS

to farmers is great, especially in such cases where, because of congested
freight conditions, owing to inadequate handling facilities, the stuff is allowed
to rot before it reaches the market.”
Mrs. Elmer Black, who has made a comprehensive study of foreign
markets, declared that the American woman, if she wants earnestly to help
reduce the cost of living, must follow the example set by her European sister
and go to market.
“Marketing is practically a lost art in the cities of this country, she
declared. “Women will stop for half a day for a yard of ribbon at a bargain
sale, and then rush to the delicatessen or little nearby grocery, or perhaps
use the phone to get their food supplies.”
JUDGE SWANN ON THE “INNER CIRCLE”
— ■
“They worship no God save graft,
and they bow down at the shrine of
their idolatry!”
In these words Judge Edward
Swann of the court of general sessions
in New York, summed up the police
situation. Judge Swann has been a
careful and patient student of the po
lice system for many years. He has
upon numerous occasions seen fit to
speak about police matters from the
.bench.
He has listened, with astonishment
at times, to the testimony given by
policemen and police detectives at the
trials of men charged with being com
mon gamblers. And upon more than
one occasion he has heard the foreman
of a jury return a verdict of “Not
guilty” in gambling cases where the
district attorney had to rely almost ex
clusively upon the testimony of po
licemen and their stool pigeons.
Judge Swann was asked if in his
opinion and from information that had
«some to him in his official capacity gambling houses and disorderly resorts
could exist unless the police stood for such places and for the violation of
the law.
( “You cannot make me believe that such resorts could run wide open,
■ or run at all, for any length of time, unless the police knew about it,” he
. said. “I wish to say right here that the police department is as a rule
-is made up of a lot of honest, courageous, fearless men. I am very fond of
the every-day policeman. But in this present inquiry that has been brought
about by the brutal murder of Herman Rosenthal it is shown that graft
exists in the police department today.

Washington, DjC.—The advantages

an average daily attendance above
100,000, by exhibits which will be
made by the Southern railway sys

Exhibits will be made at more than
twenty-five fairs in the states named,
each one of which has been selected
with a view to Its character, attend
ance, and probable interest in loca
tions in the Southeast on the part of
the people attending. Four sets of
exhibits have been prepared. Each
set will be shown at from six to nine,
different fairs covering a wide stretch
of country. A special exhibit will be
sent to the Toronto exposition. The
exhibits wil consist of fresh fruits,
cotton, tobacco, potatoes and truck
crops and colored pictures showing
farm and orchard scenes will be dis
played. Representatives of the land
and industrial department of the
Southern system will be with each
exhibit. Attractive literature giving
full information about the Southeast
has been prepared especially for
these ,fairs and a set of fine Southern
views will be distributed as souvenirs.
By these exhibits the Southern rail
way will reach a large number of
farmers of just the type that is wait

attracting such settlers in the country

WHERE THERE’S A WILL.
By Mary Roberts Rinehart, author of
The Circular Staircase, The Man in
Lower Ten, When a Man Marries,
etc. Illustrated by F. Vaux Wilson.
$1 30 Net. The Bobbs Merrill Com
pany, Indianapolis.
Readers of fiction are to be con
gratulated upon the rare treat in
store for them. Mary Roberts Rine
hart’s new book, “Where There’s a
Will,” has just been issued, and, re
ally, nothing but the author’s name
is needed as an assurance of its ex
cellence. Year by year Mrs. Rine
hart’s power is growing. Her long
list of books bear witness of her im
aginative ability, and it may be said
that she has never written a story
which did not bear the stamp of
originality and literary excellence.
She is a typical American story-teller
who devises plots that are fascinating
and who treats these plots with a
lightness and deftness that makes
them especially appealing to those
who read for amusement. “Where
There’s a Will” is no exception, and
in fact, it may be said that it displays
more of Mrs. Rinehart's keen sense of
humor than anything she has ever
written.
The story not only scintillates with
wit, a spark in every sentence, but it
has decided point and object. The
methods of modern sanitariums, the
various treatments prescribed, the
tact needed to handle patients, the
doping of the sulphur springs—in fact,
thorough exposure of the tricks of the
trade, are exhibited on one side, and
on the other are held up the humors,
the whims, the vanities of the frac
tious patients. All of this is done in
the spirit of spontaneous gayety with"
out the slightest tinge of bitterness.
It is pure comedy and the purpose
is inherent in the subject rather than
dragged forth by the narrative, and
the author seems to enjoy writing as
much as the reader does the perusal.
Not a trace of effort, of flagging, of
staleness is apparent. The bubbling
fun is so fresh, so 'plentiful, that it
seems to require more labor than does
the popping of champagne.
Several pretty girls parade through
the pages much to the delight and
the anguish of several likable young
men. Not least interesting is the love
affair of Minnie, the red-haired spring
house girl who tells the story in her
own humorous way, and who is really
its heroine, although Minnie is far
too modest to admit. Minnie is an
original creation and is as full of gin
ger as her mineral spring is of dope.
She is in the front of the action all
the time, and, owing to her foresight
and ability,the thread is finally un
tangled to the satisfaction of all con
cerned. All of the characters are well
drawn and make lasting impressions.
In short, the entire book is filled with
good things that it becomes a con
stant delight to the reader. Mr. F.
Vaux Wilson contributes a number of
unusually good illustrations.
Developments during the Pan-Amer
ican congress that recently closed in
Buenos Ayres, says the St. Paul Pio
neer Press, are said to be worrying
the tradesmen and manufacturers of
Europe, and Germany in particular
sees danger to its “supremacy in
South American commerce if the Pan-
American propaganda of Mr. Blaine
and his successors is advanced in
the next twenty years as vigorously
as in the last twenty years.” The re
ports from the Argentina metropolis
are certainly gratifying to the people
of the United States.
MANY ROSES IN MIDSUMMER HATS

A hat, recently designed, is made ;
entirely of chiffon and silk roses in
the most exquisite shadings of pale ■
pink and rose color. It is a along
these tones of pink in which there is <
a hint of lavender and which gradual
ly merge into American Beauty reds,
through an enchanting range of color.
The shape is odd and new —a point
ed turban high in front. The frame,
made of wire, is edged with a fold of ;
satin in deep rose color and a bow of
ribbon in the same shade finishes the
back.
The shape fits the head closely and
Is rather small. The roses are crowd
ed in rows about the top and sides
and they cover every inch of space
except a narrow border where the
satin outlines the shape about the
face.

dressy for very informal wear, but
which lends itself to those that re
quire high-style also. It is ideal for
the tourist who wants to go about
without much baggage and still be
prepared to dress for state occasions.
Another very new model, in which
roses are wonderfully placed, shows
a large hemp shape with concave un
derbrim filled in with very large full
bloom roses. They are mounted flat
against the underbrim, forming an en
chanting frame for the face. The
crown is trimmed with full ruche of
lace and that finishes the design. The
shape is made with special reference
to this method of trimming.
This is distinctly midsummer model,
that is, it is meant for summer weath

PRESENT FOR ENGAGED GIRL
An Apron to Slip on When Bride Does
Housework Is Always Ac
ceptable.
A useful and attractive gift for an
engaged girl is an apron that may
be slipped on when the bride does
housework, and wishes to keep pre
sentable. Just this type of apron is
hard to buy, so is doubly acceptable.
Probably the most useful kind is a
studio apron, such as Is used by the
woman artist. Get a good pattern
with sleeves reaching to the wrists
and cut without too much fullness.
Choose a pink gingham of fine quality
or a clear black and white stripe,
which always washes well.
For the former trim the neck —
which should be cut slightly square—
and sleeves with a two-inch insertion
of white embroidery, and fasten at
the back with, white pearl buttons.
The black and white apron may be
trimmed with black bias bands, or
with white cotton bands embroidered
in a cross-stitch design in black.
A somewhat dressier apron, though
not so useful for protection, is made
like a waitress’ apron, with straps
over the shoulders. A pretty effect
is had with ecru or pale pink percale,
the straps embroidered in a cross
stitch band that is carried on each
side to the bottom of the apron. The
hem at bottom and sides is finished
with a row of two-chain stitch-bands.
Use several tones of brown or red
mercerized cotton on the ecru apron,
and white or black on the pink one.

Two New Ideas.
, If you wish to give your lingerie
’ frock the very latest whim of the fash
ion realm add narrow bands of brown
’ fur. These bands of fur edging floun
, ces and drapery of the most transpa
, rent and filmy net and chiffon dresses
J were one of the most marked features
of the drag race at Auteuil. It Is one
t of those curious combinations In
which the French revel, but at the
( same time It is effective.
Another popular fancy is the scarf
of maline attached to the gown on one
shoulder and thrown around the figure
in artistic abandon. In fact, maline
will be found surprisingly useful in re
: freshing slightly worn gowns, whether
i used as scarf, neck ruche, sash or fin
i ishing the sleeves. There is now a
i waterproof maline on the market
i which neither the dampness of the
I shore nor an unexpected shower cab
. wilt.

Keeping Water Cold.
If you are in the habit of taking a
pitcher of iced water to your room on
retiring, try this: Procure a square
pasteboard box (with lid), sufficiently
large to hold your pitcher, and give it
two or three coats of varnish on the
outside, allowing each coat to dry
thoroughly. Place your pitcher of wa
ter in this box on retiring, putting the
lid on tightly, and you are sure of
having cold drinking water any hour
of the night.
To Operate Canal by Electricity.
The Panama canal will be operated
almost exclusively by electric power.
Approximately seven per cent, of the
minimum water supply will be di
verted for hydro-electric development,
and this will be the excess which is
not required for lockages, evaporation,
and leakage. The hydro-electric sta
tion will be located adjacent to the
north wall of the Gatun spillway and
the plant will have a capacity of 6,000
kilowatts. The average hydraulic head
throughout the year will be about 75
feet.

THIRTEEN YEARS
Unlucky Number for Dakota Woman.
The question whether the number
“13” is really more unlucky than any
other number has never been entirely
settled.
A So. Dak. woman, after thirteen
years of misery from drinking coffee,
found away to break the “unlucky
spell.” Tea is just as injurious as cof
fee because it contains caffeine, the
drug in coffee. She writes:
“For thirteen years I have been a
nervous wreck from drinking coffee.
My liver, stomach, heart —in fact, my
whole system being actually poisoned
by It.
“Last year I was confined to my bed
for six months. Finally it dawned on
me that coffee caused the trouble.
Then I began using Postum instead of
coffee, but with' little faith, as my
mind was in such a condition that I
hardly knew what to do next.
“Extreme nervousnes and failing
eyesight caused me to lose all courage.
In about two weeks after I quit coffee
and began to use Postum I was able
to read and my head felt clear. I am
improving all the time and I will be a
strong, well woman yet.
“I have fooled more than one person
with a delicious cup of Postum. Mrs.

fine coffee. I told her my grocer had
