CHICA NEW YORK The Roll-Top Antiquity Tt had never been a very big business, but it had been $moderately prosperous, and it had lasted for 50 years (and now it was closing its doors. Tts main office was on a side street a little way re- * (moved from'the main business district. The glass show twindows displayed the stock in trade—leather goods, fharness of various kinds, queer-looking appliances to (puzzle the casual onlooker, brief cases and straps and so on. The fittings were not remarkable. Rather old-fash- floned, they were; especially the old roll-top desk at the rear, where the owner, and his father before him, had “ pat.to direct the business, The desk probably, had been. + instaied- when the place was first opened, half a cen+ _ bury ago: Now the business was being closed out. Bid- fers for the desk probably would be few. Roll-top desks ‘of that type aren't in much demand now, Indee@, speculating on the melancholy downfall of an | Becoeate old firm, one is tempted to wonder whether that roll-top desk, preserved unchanged through all the ‘ years of change, might not be rather symbolic. ‘To hang on to a roll-top desk through 50 years indi- “eates a sort of conservatism, a clinging to old customs ‘ old ways, But the last couple of decades, in the = world, have not been good years for the con- rvative. They have put the business man under the necessity of keeping abreast of the times mentally. jose Who failed to do so have gone under. This is not the same sort of world it was a generation ‘igo, Developments of a startling nature have come fast. ew inventions and new practices have arisen to pro- ince disaster on any business executive who could Be iyonce himself from the old ways. ‘The old pace. was leisurely and dignified. But now? be is the great word. The airplane, the radio, the hoto system, the long-distance telephone network, ‘he telegraphic night letter—these are the insignia of the new order, ‘They are the embléms of a multitude of changes. AS a result of all of this, incalculable changes are tak- ing place in the business world. Old firms are vanishing, es-their holdings gathered up by the long arms of big cor- porations, Business of a small scale has to step fast and keep all of its wits about it if it is to survive. And here we come back to the roll-top desk. Isn't it Possible that this old desk was a symbol of an inability to change, an inability to adapt an old-fashioned busi- ness organization and old-fashioned business practices to ® new era? z The old ways may have been more pleasant, more gracious, more human—but they are gone, and weep- ng won't bring them back. The rule that the fittest shall survive was never as inexorable as it is in Ameri- ean business today. And the roll-top desk, with all that | It symbolizes, belongs to a by-gone era, An Industrial Boil : Nobody actually knows how many people are out of employment, but recent “Red Thursday,” when the com- munists of the country staged their widespread demon- Strations to inflame the nation against this condition nd to weaken the respect of the people for government of themselves, by themselves and for themselves showed that it might be well to do something about the situa- ion other than to crack heads. :*In fact, no less a person than President Hoover has ‘been solicitous in exactly this way about unemployment; and it was remedying of that condition which he also had in view in the economic conferences he held at the ‘white house with captains of industry, finance and com- merce, following the Wall street speculative debacle. It was that step on his part which probably helped deflate the communist demonstrations of “Red Thurs- day.” Obviously, people felt that conditions might be jworse, as in England, Germany and Russia, They also felt enough confidence in the president's measures to {ook for a turn to the better, probably; anyhow the com- munist flare-up, in spite of some clashes with the police ‘and many arrests and a few broken heads, was classifi- wble as a dud. ‘What is the lesson of it all? One might say that two perfectly obvious facts stand out at the close of these ‘mass meetings and marches of protest: ‘The American flag is still flying. : A great many people are still aut of work. ‘The demonstrations had not the slightest effect on ‘Witlier of these two facts. The men and women who got their heads under the police clubs apparently accom- ished nothing by their labors. * Yet all of this was not entirely insignificant. The ‘communists and their followers—their dupes, if you want to put it that. way—failed to advance the cause of revo- lution or the cause of plentiful jobs; but we shall fool urselves badly if we assume, for thaf reason, that the ‘whole ‘business meant nothing. i Tt meant, quite plainly, that there is a good desl of misery in the land. Shutting our eyes to that fact, or | jn frying to gloss it over, won't do anyone any good. In- stanges, ‘We can Jail the leaders of these demonstrations, crack aiulls of deport them, but it won't get us anywhere.

But it is the. most important job facing the country today. If it is not done we shall have some more “Red Thursdays” every now and then. And some of them may be worse than this last one. The Business Woman’s Week ‘The spotlight is being turned on the woman of busi- ness achievement in 1,100 communities of the United States this National Business Woman's week and this modern phenomenon. is the serious subject of thought by thousands of her sisters, in terms of honor and of inspiration. The accomplishments of women who have entered the general business field, not that of mere dressmaking and activities built around the science of cooking a good meal, have produced a situation where it has become a ques- tion of what is a job? The women have phrased the question thus: Are there men’s jobs and women's jobs nowadays, or just jobs? It seems that there are just jobs, so widely have wom- en penetrated the field of industry, business and the professions. The World war put them there to a great- er degree than any other single factor or influence, and in 1920 the census revealed 8,500,000 women gainfully employed, while the president of the American Press association estimates that so rapidly have women swarm- ed into the business world that the coming census will show 15,000,000 there. In a statement issued by the national Federation of Business and Professional Women’s clubs it is said that ten years ago there were but 37 of the 572 occupations which women had not invaded, Now it is doubtful whether there are any uninvaded, Ten years ago the clerical workers led the. number of women employed, there being 1,426,116. The number of women in public service increased 61 per cent between 1910 and 1920. Equally significant was the increase of the percentage of the women in trades by 42 per cent, and of women in professions by 39 per cent. These figures and ratios da not ‘deal with Strictly feminine occupations for they’ ¢over such occupations as architects, landscape garderiers, dentists, “designers, draftsmen, inventors, photographers, technical engineers, veterinary surgeons, aeronauts, judges, college presidents, doctors, lawyers, chemists, authors and editors, The striking feature about the increasing entry ‘of women into the business and professional field is that it has not interfered with marriage for a large percent- age of them. Some of the most successful, with vast interests under their charge, aré ‘wives and mothers. With this growing activity in the sphere of occupations and with the right of the franchise, women are making themselves an ever-increasing influence in the economic and social life of America—yes, of the world, for the movement is @ world-wide phenomenon. It is an amaz- ing leap forward for the sex from the days of their pioneers, such as Susan B. Anthony, who set going the influences which have resulted in this emancipation, for that is what the entry of women into business and. the professions actually is. Who will predict where it} will end? Clutching at Technicalities The lengths to which a certain type of lawyer -will go in his hunt for unimportant technicalities is well illus- trated in a recent Ohio criminal case. A councilman in a certain city was convicted of ac- cepting a bribe. His attorneys carried an appeal to the state supreme court. - And listen to this: One of the grounds on which they based their appeai was this: The indictment alleged that the councilman had “accepted money” from a man who sought his fay- or. This, said the lawyers, was not true—the councilman had accepted a check. A check, they said, was not “money”—and therefore the conviction ought not to stand. . 2 Very properly, the supreme court refused to pay -any attention to such pettifogging. But the case illustrates the way in which an unimportant technicality will be | seized on, by some lawyers, in an effort to advance a client's cause. And that is one reason for the current disrespect for law which distresses our lawyers so might- ily. After you walk all over town in quest of bargains you understand why a penny saved is a penny earned. Alas! The brotherhood of man appeals only to those who stand outside and smell the feast. Times change. In 1890, kids enjoyed pets instead of petting. Editorial Comment | Passing of the Shakers (New York World) The Shakers were forbidden to marry. ‘They are almost extinct.

I am underweight, and am trying to improve my appearance by eating, as I am emaciated looking. Also, what would cause me to have fever blisters frequently, with no fever nor cause for them?” Answer: It is impossible for me to estimate how many calories of food you would be able to use in order to gain weight and still remain healthy. Such a statement might be given aft- er a careful examination, but a great deal of experimentation is necessary with each case, as a different number of calories would have a different ef- fect: upon one person than another. Most pepple who try to gain weight through stuffing on more calories only make themselves bilious and bring on other disorders, The fever blisters which you have so frequently show that you are suffering from over-acidity of the stomach, This is usually caused from using bad food combinations.
