CHANGING POPULAR HAD1TS .Many business people fail to achieve suewss, because they conceive that the people have certain fixed habits that can not be changed. They think that as trade always has gone in a cer tain direction, it will continue to do so. So they just lie down on their job. Put popular habits are not thus fixed. They are con stantly changing under the impulses of new suggestion. The cus tom of .knitting by women might be considered as an example. ForrnerJy knitting was regarded as a more or less old-fashioned habit... Old ladies were supposed to knit, but many young women wou'il have thought they looked queer if they were seen plying the needles". While the war had a lot to do with re-establishing the habit ij knitting, yet advertising also was a big factor in it. To day yop see a great many women, old and young, diligently plying their needles. Magazines and newspapers remind women and girls of the pretty things they can make with their own hands by the use of colorful yarns. The result has been to popularize the cuslo magain. The knitters are reminded that they can not mere ly make the warm articles that our grandmothers used to turn out for cold weather wear, but they can create light weight things fitted to any season. Thus the habit spreads f rom one to another, and these bright colored garments become a charming feature of the modern woman's outfit. Advertising had a large share in creating this tendency. In the sartic way the popular habit of buy ing goods can be changed in any direction. The merchant who finds that he is not getting his share of trade has probably not done anything to help shape the buying habits of the people of his town. Probably he has not attempted to' interest buyers from the surrounding country, who now go elsewhere to trade, but who would just as soon come to his place if he would make an effort to interest them. Some people believe that retail store busines3 is a very pro fitable operation, and that the public is heavily taxed for the gains of tlutLbiisiness. Such folks note the statement recently made by the sttrxtary of the New Kngland Clothiers association, to the ffectthnt the net profit in the clothing line rarely exceeds one and three tenths cents on a dollar. There may be lines of trade on which the average retail profit exceeds that figure, but it is never largo percentage on sales. A false idea about retail bus iness tutists in the minds of many persons, and constantly people ore setting up new stores, hoping to draw a share of what they believe are liberal gains. Put the great number of concerns that get outref business after experimenting with it a few years, indi cates that the popular idea of these rewards is largely illusory. Thd retail clothing business is a specially efficient one, as it is a line that is usually pretty well advertised. Enterprising men in that bilsinrss keep their stores well before the public by publicity, and as a result gain a large volume of trade. P.y doing business on an extensive scale, they are able to cut the margin of profit on each sale down to a trifling percentage. There are some lines of business which do not advertise freely, inwhiih the-margin be tween the wholesale and retail price is larger. In this case the merchant may not be making much money, but owing to his failure to draw in a large volume of trade, his charges for overhead and other expense are a heavy load on each sale, and make prices high. o In every community there is a certain proportion of children who are not normal in ability. In former years these backward pupils dragged hopelessly behind in their classes. Desiring to ex cel in some way, they were apt to cultivate mischief as a means of proving they were not wholly deficient in ability. Progressive school systems now establish what are often called "opportunity schools," which are .xxi-ial classes for these sub-normal children. Usually about half of the time of such groups is given to hand work, which interests such pupils and arouses their sluggish men tality, Instead of being incited to lives of insubordination, they are induced to do real work, ami enter useful careers. Such in struction and the spooial attention needed will not probable cost anything in the long run, as it saves n certain proportion of these children from luiing dependents and possible criminals. About the best thing that the public schools can do for a child is to scud him out into the world with a healthv body. You can stuff nts head with book knowl.slge. but if he leave school with scr.ous physical defects, his life is in danwr of being n failure. School pupils should have regular medical inspection with effort to secure correction of remedial,!,, defects. There should be wte. mahc instruction in hygiene. Children should be taught the ad vantage of fresh air. they should be show n the necessity of eating nutrition foods instead of over indulgence in swifts, thev should .. i nco. against the common unsanitary practices. In of this kind has more to do with the success of their 1; much protiency in book learnirg. M.ii.uu who ,, ,,, ov ,, ,. ,,,, ,,, t l'll r Mil ', il,.. ,.,(,, , ,f one ,,y,, .-- o . out! I .1 !iiue.

Editor of the News-Review: Waller fierce, democratic candidate for governor, baa succeeded In creating the Im pression that If elected governor he can cut taxes in two. ine ciuiw that he can cut taxes fifty per cent Is simply a vote-catching extrava gance upon which to ride. Into or fiee. Let us Bee how much a gov ernor has to witn uougtas count! taxes. The total amount levied on Doug las county property this year Is $1.- 144.735. Of this IT per cent was levied by county and local authori ties for schools, roails, cily ana town purposes, including the port lax of J22.S!iO. How could any gov ernor cut this local part of the tax bill In two? Reduction of these lo cal taxes Is up to the voters In the local districts. When cornered. ,Mr. Pierce ad mits his 50 per cent tax cut prom ise is intended to apply to state taxes only. Let us see how this works oat on Douglas county. Only 23 per """t of all Douglas County's taxes this year were state taxes for soldiers' bonus two and one-half per cent, for market roads two and one-half per cent, for state aid to elementary schools five per cent, and for state higher educa tional purposes seven per cent, the latter Including the educational aid to the soldiers and sailors, as well as all the millage bills and appropri ations for Oregoif Agricultural Col lege and 1'nivers.ity of Oregon. Senator pierce introduced several of Iheae tax measures and supnort fdlTll of them. Which ones will he cut out? The balance of the state tax, six per cent of the total Douglas tax bill, goes mainly to sunport Insti tutions caring for the insane and other afflicted. Besides paying the expense of state government. Even If Mr. Pierre cuts this amount in two he would reduce Douglas coun ty's tax T)ills only three per cent: yet even this amount could not be cut in two without turning insane, feeble minded, orphans and other dependents out upon the public for charity. The claim that taxes can be re duced 50 per cent, or any other sub stantial amount, by a governor or through his influence is so prepos terous that It Is obviously Intended onlv for campaign purposes. The problem of taxation Is mainly a local one. up to the people of the various taxing districts. Of the total tax bills of Oregon this year. $ in.473,9nfi. onlv 23 per cent, or !i.373.37. was levied as state taxes. This amount Included soldiers' bonus millage necessary for soldiers' loan bond redemption, mar ket roads mlllace. nilllape for state fid to elementary schools and all the nilllnge and Piipropriailnns for slate educational Institutions.
