The more we learn of the “beer
racket" here In New York, the more
remarkable we find I t It really Isn't
a racket For some time It has been.
In the main, a highly organized and
orderly business Those engaged in It
continue to gain In popularity here
and have become the principal agen
cies of “the Americanization of Eng
land."
One English columnist the other day
made four telephone calls to different
numbers as a test and In each case
the conversation ended with “O. K."

W hy Is I I a “ Pneum atic" Tiro?
EVERYBODY knows, there are
/a I
are solidly rubber throughout and
those which can be used only around
an Inflated rubber tube.
This latter kind of tire, as we know
Is called a pneumatic tire. But why
Is it known as "pneumatic"?
The answer Illustrates again how
much our every-day English owes to
Its classic forbears.
For the word “pneumatic" as ap
plied to a tire. Indicating that It must
be used with a tube Inflated with air
Is derived directly from the Oreek
word "pneumo" meaning lung, after
the obvious similarity in their func
tioning, so far ns the necessity of air
is concerned.

A smart, personable girl lost her po

couldn't get another. She figured her
assets as an education, a knowledge
of stenography, and a portable type
writer. She also figured that there
must he a number of persona In ■ big
city who had no use for a permanent
secretary, but who hated to write or
answer letters. Ths only way she
knew to find them was to look up
names In ths telephone book and then
try to sell her Ides by a house lo-house
canvass. Her proposition was that
she would come once a week, take dic
tation, and type letters for a dollar
an hour, with a minimum of one hour's
work. Getting the first customer was
the hardest. Now her business has
worked up to
a week. That Is to
say, she has an equivalent of five cus
lomers a day. One recommenda her to
another and she Is hoping to Increase
her business so as to gross ».lit weekly
