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. w!T5?a 9uact3i. 1 I^moSßv wuftßy // ' r^// '///Xo- voverfvuE fwe rr Wmw \ tune UKE a GOOD &OV/ \ /Zv/// VWAS A GIArT VUTTO* ra Yo£nT our WITW \ B uT lP7>4£ G-ROCfiS \ V/AV / //i THE COCAPAAjV 1 Kjn A HALF DOLLAR \ AM> THAT! .. ...... —— ; 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. BN9 *” outs ioe Scratching An o OARKINi /\LUN •‘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. A jl 1 i 1 : 5 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.” Copyright 1911, by the McClure News paper Syndicate, New Y'ork City. Tomorrow’* story—“ The Pink and Blue Eggs." 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. and Saturday the Tab erin Girls offer "Two Gay Old Sports" pict h ur a es.
