Aid we have trouble finding enough men to meet the de- mand.” Young men, “undecided what to do,” give a thought to salesmanship as a career. : < And, by the way, the young bookkeeper who is struggling along and sees no future in his line should be heartened, by the news that plenty of jobs paying $15,000 to $50,000 a year b await the superbookkeepers known as auditors. _ The business of our country went through an era in which the big fortunes went to men who were geniuses at produc- h tion. The corporations known as trusts were built up as pro- ducing organizations. High efficiency in production, however, means nothing if there is no market for what is produced. This is where the salesmen steps in. P The sales engineer now ranks in importance with the pro- | duction engineer. Salesmanshiv is the coming field. For competition is b bound to be sharp and keen in the post-war years that lie H ahead. And it is salesmanship that “cops the business” in } high competition. ‘Traveling on trains you meet many crackerjack salesmen, veterans, grown old and white-haired in the service. But salesmanship is primarily a young man’s game. The vigor, determination, never-lagging energy and enthusiasm of the genuine “go-getter” are qualities of youth. _ Youth will go after the orders, sell the goods. Middle age and old age, with the wisdom and judgment and foresight of maturity, will stay at home and produce the things to fill the orders. -It is generally realized that the problems of production have been nearly solved, and that the real problem of busi- ness is distribution. Making distribution more scientific and less wasteful, by finding economical shortcuts from producer to-consumer, is.a job that is up to the sales engineers and‘ their armies of salesmen. = Majority of our economic problems are sales problems — problems of marketing. i DISPUTE French statistics, recently circulated, show that Germany since the end of the war has paid only $40,000,000 cash in- demnity, or $1.61 a year for each German. - Lang, German counsel in New York City, disputes. He claims that the figure should be $522,000,000 instead of $400,000,000. That would make the cash indemnity $2.10 a-year, instead of $1.61, for each German. We stand cor- rected. Incidentally, Lang claims that Germany has paid about $9,823,000,000 total indemnity, to date, including value of lost territory and other property surrendered, LEVITY : - The next thing on the program apparently will be the decline of the American mercantile marine in its passenger- ship end. Thirsty traffic will be willing to go to Canadian ports to sajl on liquor-serving foreign ships. Or the foreign liners will enter our ports and take on their. saloon supplies after they pass the three-mile limit, transferred from other ships. However, this may be in keeping with our modern mer- cantile marine policy, as it might enable Washington to sell our passenger liners at 50 cents a piece. § IMPORTANT What:is important, worth noticing, of the many agencies of the European situation? Well, here’s one that stands out pretty strongly—in fact, indelibly: The French government has not yet ratified the program of the Washington naval disarmament conference. This is the “key” to the European situation, if there is any key. An American can understand the, French claim that they need a big army to protect them against Germany. But, for that purpose, she doesn’t need a supernavy, especially sub- marines. = Is Napoleon’s ghost rising? = ENDURANCE = Big Jim Hanbery, formerly a Kansas school teacher, was wounded 44 times during the war, left on the field for dead, and honored by funeral and memorial services in many towns. j = However, he showed up living, is a reporter in Omaha, and recently was decorated with the distinguished service cross. Forty-four wounds! And he’s still alive. Hypochondri- aés, morbidly terrified at the slightest ache and pain, should paste this in their hats. FEATHERS Bird-of-paradise plumes and wings, $15,000 worth of them, are seized in raids on nine millinery shops in New York City. To get their property back, the owners must prove that the plumage was legally in their possession be-| to another in the time of need, to sullenly. “Him and me w fore the passage of the wild bird feather exclusion law in|b¢ * cup of strength to a human: hell-bent to meet up with y Gctober, 1913. f Gents with red noses might view this as “infringement on personal liberty.” What is the difference between pro- hibiting booze and prohibiting feathers?

The task will not be easy, as the; organizers of the league admit in the published announcement of their purpose, and théy realize} that only by energetic action on their part, and on that of soldiers who agree with them, will it be possible to prevent. the passage and ‘signing; sooner ‘or later, of a benus bill, imposing a heavy and unrec ry burden on the coun- try’s Jaxpayers, prominent among wliom will be’the veterans them- selves. The league’s, argument against ziving money to all who served in} the war are mot new, but they re- ceive new woight coming from this | source. Especial attention is de- served by the statement that men ho came back from the war with- out having been wounded, gassed or shellshocked—and that is 90 turned with their earning ability} appreciably increased by the train- ing which they had received in the service, but even while with the colors their net earnings were greater in most cases than they had been before.

Clinch brought the - Flaming Jewel to his camp in the Adirondacks, where he hoarded it for the education of, his beautiful step-daughter. EVE STRAYER. Quintana appear-| ed to recover the jewel. Also bent on recovering jewel is JAMES DARRAGH, going under the name of HAL SMITH, who intended to re- store it to the countess. Eve escapes from the savage clutches of Quintana with a packet which she thought contained the jewel, but which contained only two bars of chocolate, This packet is stolen from her by two of Clinch’s the royal men who went over to Quintana. One of them, i EARL LEVERETT, murders ‘the other, ' JAKE KLOON, for the false packet. | Hardly had’ Leverette concealed | the body in the woods when hand was placed on his. shoulder. CHAPTER II | A coward dies many times before | Old Man Death really gets him. . The swimming minutes passed; his mind ceased to live for a space. Then, as through the swirling wa- ters of the last dark whirlpool, a dulled roar of returning conscious- ness filled his being. Somebody was shaking him, shouting at him, Suddenly instinct resumed its function, and he’ strug- gled madly to get away from the edge of the sink-hole—fought his way, blindly, through tangled under- growth toward the hard ridge. No human power could have blocked the frantic, creature thrashing toward | solid ‘ground. But there Quintana held him in his wiry grip. “Fool! Mule! Crazee fellow! What you do, eh? For why you make jumps like rabbits! Eh? You expec’ Quintana? Yes? Alors!” Leverett, in a state of collapse, Bagged back against an oak tree. Quintana’s nervous grasp fell from his arms and they swung, danglins. “What you do by that pond-hole? Eh? I come and touch you, anil my God!--one would think I have stab you. Such an ass!” The sickly greenish hue changed in Leverett’s face. as the warmer tide stirred from its stagnation. He lifted his head and tried to look at Quintana, “Where Jake Kloon?” the latter. At that the weasel wits of the tra robber awoke to the instant ‘cris Blood and pulse began to jump.

What is that, then?” “He got into a «sink-hole.” “What!” “That's all Iy know,” said Leverett elin’ Take, he was for a short cut to Drowned Valley—but ‘no,’ sez I, ‘gimme a good hard ridge an’ a long detoor when there's sink-holes into the woods—’” “What is it the talk you talk to me?” asked Quintana, whose _ per- plexed features began to darken. “Where is it, my packet?” . Leverett’s voice | small} '! eyes switched for an instant toward | “I'm tellin’ you, ain’t I?” retorted | the other, raising a voice now shri}! with the strain. of this new crisis rushing so unexpectedly upon him: “I heard Jake give a holler. ‘What the hell’s the trouble?" I yells. Then he lets out a ‘beller, ‘Save me!’ he -Screeches, ‘I’m into a sink-hole! The quicksand’s got me,’ sez he. So 1 ;-drop my rifle, I did—there she stands [against that birch sapling!—and 1 tua down into them there pitcher plqnts. = “Whar be ye!’ I yells.

I was sick‘ and scared like, so when you come up over the moss, not makin’ no. noise, an’ grabbed me—God!—I Guess you’d jump, too.” Quintana’s dark, tense face was expressionless when Leverett ven- tured to look at him. Like most liars he realized the advisability of looking his victim straight in the eyes. This he managed to accom- plish, sustaining the cold intensity of Quintana’s gaze as long as he deemed it necessary. Then he started ward his rifle. Quintana blocked his way. “Where my packet?” “Gol. ram it! Ain't J told you? Jake ‘had it in his pocket.” “My packet?” “Yaas, you!

(Continued in Our Next Issue) ? ADVENTURE OF | | THETWINS | By Olive Barton Roberts riding Nancy and» Nick were nice as pie. ‘They never suspected that Light ; Fingers, the bad little fairy, was flying right over their heads. And they never knew a thing about the magic pill that Light Fingers had in a bottle. This magic pill made everything it touched go backward, and at this very minute Light Fingers was try- tank, At last the bad. little fairy got the cap of the tank unscrewed. And in another second he had dropped in the magic pill. The first thing Nancy and Nick knew, the little car stopped with a sudden jerk and they fell right off And the ;next thing they knew they were going backward at about a dozen miles a minute. “Oh, my!”cried Nancy. “What's hapnened ?” ‘ “I don’t know,” answered Nick, “but we'll have to think of a charm as fast as we can. I’ve got one.” So he said: “Magic auto, what’s the matter? / You act as crazy as a hatter.” “I don’t know what’s wrong with the,” answered a voice. “But some- thing’s queer inside of me. Try an- other charm.” So Nick made up this one: x “Magic auto, don’t go back, You'll bump our heads, like Jill and Jack.” But that charm didn’t work either. The magic automobile kept on whizzing backward right toward the cave of Twelve Toes, the Sor- cerer, Light pieces.
