And they don’t apply the $2 on the rent, if the apartment is taken, élthet. Probably the only reasoh American. landlords are not doing this is because they haven’t thought of it. They will probably. start now, only the fee for, looking will be five dollars itistedd of two. DETAILS A tiny nut, on the rail of the Delaware, Lacka- wantia & Western Railroad, wrecked a passenger train. Yet every day we hear this: “I just can’t bother about the details. I let them take care of themselves.” Details are essential. And if you haven’t some- ore to look after thém fot you, you must, look after them yourself. SUCCESS Tf an epitaph be written ori John Wanamaker’s tombstone, he. warits it to read something like. this, “This ritan ktew how to advertise.” To advertising intelligently and_ persistently the famous riefcharit attribites a large part of hig. success. He started early. The first day he wds in busi- ness as. a storekeeper he took in $24.67— and atraighitway spent $24 of it for advertising. “The best investment I ever made,” he says. RIGHT! ‘Hoover's answer. to Russia’s plea that we help feed her starving millions should meet: the ap- proval of:the American public. It id a red] Afnét- ican answer. “Yes, we'll do our share. willingly and gladly but you, must come with clean hands; réleasé All American prisoners who are starving in Russi prisons, guarantee the safety. and liberty of ac- tion of our relief agents and give us assurances that the food. and supplies we contribute will be used ap. we. direct.” WOMEN FARMERS In liné with the influx of women into Tien’s work in the cities, it is intérésting to note that women in far latget numbers are taking up farm- ing. Census bureau reports’ show that 261,553 women today are operating farms; totaling 25,- 798,400. acred ahd averaging 98.6 acres to, the farm. ; Percentage of farms operated by womeh, in the statés vatied ftom 1.9 per cent of the whole. in Nebraska to 7.2 pér cent in Rhode. Island; BANISH FEAR The wedkest of fears will, if broodéd over ahd|L thought upon, become a giant. The end is dis- aster. ; ‘A Brooklyn woman kills herself because afraid of lightning: To many this seems strange. Yet perhaps somé of us have fears that would, have seertied as strange to her. Banish feat froth yout find when it first comes; later it may become your master. ‘ ‘And always remetnber; “a cowatd dies a thou- sand deaths; a brave man scarcely oné.” REPUTATION Chicago, police went only, in squads, Heavily armed; ‘when ‘they. sought “Terrible Tommy” O'Connor, wanted in connection with three, mut- ders and, many robberies.

UNAVOIDABLE A Chicago judge advocates. a course in matri-| mony for high school studetits. Why not? Comparatively few of us have a chance in after | life to make use of calculus or Greek. But the problems of married lifé aré és¢aped by few. IMAGINATION | A frightened citizen of Muskogee, Okla., tele- | photied police that he saw a “big, bldek bear” ina cemetery. Policé advised him to take another. look. He did so, and-decided the “bear”. was a large; shaggy dog. This is a good illustration of how imagination distorts sight.

It burned but lost its commercial value when it required 20 soldiers to. flank the diggers. “Young Man’s Butte” 1s doubtless what we. called “Heart Butte,” and has an elevation accord. ing to Northern Pacific engineers of 1900 ft.
