HOSE who hoped to find in the young Austrian Emperor's speech at the opening of the Reicherath signs of a desire to de-Prussianize the destinies of the dual kingdom, must be # © disappointed. wo The “victory of reason” which Emperor Oharles talks about, par- » ‘ticularly when he faces toward “the great neighboring people to the east to whom old friendship united us,” is still unmistakably the vic- . tory of Hohenzollern reason. “While our group of powere is fighting with irreststibie . force for honor and existence, it ts, and remains towanl every hd one who honestly abandons the fntention to threaten us, at readily prepared to cease hostilities, Whoever wishes to ro- im side ready in a conciietory spirit.” at With the German press angrily admitting the failure of all at- “| tempts to detach Russia from the Allies and predicting a savage ro- \newal of active warfare on the eastern front, the Austrian Emperor's «« blandishing gestures toward Petrograd eeem rather belated. It may , "be that Wilhelm caw no harm in putting Oharles up to a final try.| _. At all events the latter’s speech in no way suggests that it was not *» duly “opened and passed” by the Prussian censor. es Nebular Hypothesis Abandoned —Headline, terrestrial turmoil is about all we can tend to just now, ; SEVEN PORTIONS TO A PIE.

If the latter notices ‘the discrepancy it can easily be explained as a mistake, or as a late necessity of war arisen since the bill of fare was printed. Seven times out of ten the customer says nothing—which is good business for the . restaurant proprietor. That is one of the effects of a continuous, unchecked rise of prices: The consumer, individually at least, is at last reduced to a state of mind where he can be persuaded that anything he has to pay 4s the result of uncontrollable “conditions.” Collectively and in ‘principle he protests. Individually he puts down his nickel and ** submissively takes his smaller loaf or his shrinking sliver of pie.

It is incomprehensible that such a thing should come about, and if the Allles were to impose an indemnity upon Germany for anything like the value of property destroyed by her, it would reach such @ ataggering total as to place the country in a state of practical bankruptcy for fifty years to come.

Where have you been all this time?” cried Mrs, Jarr in surprise, if not in delight, as ehe answered the ring at the door to greet a stout lady of stern and martial aspect, “I have been well, but I have euf- fered,” said the poet's bride gloomily. “Well, sit down and let us have a cup of tea; let me take your things.” “You are still ving happily with your last busband?’ Mra, Jarr in- quired, “My latest husband,” the lady cor- rected Mrs, Jarr, “When we who have been wedded and bereaved speak of a ‘last’ husband, we speak of one | who has departed this life, When we | speak of our latest husband we mean {one who may have left us but who still Ives, moves and has his being, although he does not lve up to his social, marital and financial obliga- tions, When my second husband ran away"—— | “Wouldn't that include him among |the departed too?” asked Mrs, Jarr arehly. “When my second husband :an away,” Mrs. Dinkston went on, not | heeding the frivolity, "I never alluded | And sol | say to my present husband, Michael | Angelo Dinkston, when he comes |home to our apartment long after midnight"—— “Which makes him your late husband also,” suggested iit 0 at igh has been computed at $60,000,000,000. This figure comprehends losses of all kinds. It is apparent that no group of nations could pay such an amount for several generations, following #0 closely upon a confilct that is drain- ing every one of the combatants, Despite these facts it is to be be- Meved that the victors in the struggle certainly will claim spoils, No one doubts that considerable territory must change hands as @ result of the confilct, and it 1s not forgotten that the Entente long since committed it- self to the rehabilitation of Belgium. That work alone would entail an ex- pense upon the Germans mounting into many millions of dollars. If ex- tended to include the ravaged por- tions of France, the total becomes even more impressive, So it is not improbable that the world’s greatest war also may result in the world’s greatest indemnity being paid by the by loser, i siete NAAR Nahe eet oe. site" ovate’ A Fa ae Sails z th eee eee le ae ed Sayings of Mrs. Solome By Helen Rowland 1 Ry ake A.

Successful Salesmanship By H. J. Barrett “cc ENERALLY speaking,” re ‘Gi marked a travelling man, “salesmen can be divided Into two classes—those whose appeal 1s emotional or to the heart, and those whose appeal is logical or to the head. Or to state it @ little differently, those who sell on the basis of personality and those who eell on the basis of cold dollars and cents. “The first type of salesman feels that it 1s necessary to make @ Der- sonal friend of every {important ous- tomer. The second type 1s so busy in covering new prospects and in work- ing his territory intensively that he has no time to establish very close bonds with any customer, “which policy pays the better—that is the question? I think by the con- vincing test of results, noting the polt- cies of the topliners of various or {zations, it will be shown that the logical policy is the most successful. It is true that the man who sells on his personality may have a strangle hola on the business of certain im- portant customers. But the time re- |quired to create friendships among the trade is so great that he sees \far fewer people in the course of the week than does his rival, and when it comes to checking up the total volume of «i at the end of the month his hustling colleague will be seen to have ae rate yen that the day of the man who sold exclusively on person- ity is passing.

In that moment of physical pain and intellectual ex- hilaration the thought came to him of the rodent reduction rink.
