ONCE HUMBLE SHOP GIRL HUMBLE NO MORE
WITH tho business uiul profossional women mectiiif; here, it
is timely to note there's no longer any need to pity Sally,
the poor little shop girl not the Sally of the bitf metropolitan
department stores, anyway. Iler job has become a stepping
stone to fortune these modern days. She may be making 'from
$10,1)00 to if")0,000 u year within a few years. Scores of her
sisters in New York are doing just that today.
Since women went into business seriously with the World
War, the sex has taken over the department store field to such
an extent that in one great store the male executives can be
counted on one's fingers, says Helen Christine Hennctt, survey
ing this phenomenal development in the current Smart Set
magazine.
One girl, she finds, started to work two years ago at 24. To.
day she is an executive at $10,000 a year. Another after four
years of work is an expert buyer commanding $20,000 a year
and semi-annual trips to the Kuropean markets. In Richmond,
Va., a woman still under HO is

''Of all the fields of business

department store," says the writer.

buyers have a wide range of

may receive as much as $10,000.
receive as much as $50,000. Experts in specialized fields such
as interior decoration command
000 a year."
Where every department and sub-department was managed
by a man 20 years ago, in one store today the only remaining
male department head is in charge of furniture. In many other
stores the situation approaches
The word "saleswoman," which used to be spoken with a
certain disdainful slur by women of the leisure class, can't be
used to mark the modern 'business girl's social status cither,
notes the Smart Set writer, for many of these now behind the
counters or in the offices of the big stores have wealth and so
cial background behind them. Many others are college gradu
ates. .
There is no obstacle to tho advancement of any girl in the
modern department stores, except those she creates for herself,
says the head of one of the largest organizations.

A IJTTM0 C. Ij. Olli TO KE
In our terrible talk about ft row
ing pains the other day if you
have any children at your house
and missed that
talk you'd better
die it up and
read it I . Inti
mated I should
not worry much
if I had to live
in foggy, chilly
gloomy old Eng
land instead of
the sunny, bright
and sometimes
delightfully warm United Htates,
because I had a notion I could
stave off the rheumatism by .in
gesting a little cod liver oil ra
tion, which, as I believe but of
course do not know, would com
pensate pretty well for the defic
iency cf ultraviolet In the English
sunlight or that fragment of it
which gets to the Englishman's
skin. England being in tho same
latitude aa Labrador has to worry
along on the slanting ruys of sun
light and a lot of fog to discour
age tljem. The more oblique the
rays the smaller the proportion of
ultraviolet. Really we ought to
give the English a lot of credit
for bearing up and being as
cheerio as they try to be under
the circumstances. '
, Dang It, this Is a talk about
rheumatism. You cannot know
how it pains mo to use tho term
at ali, after the years of'" deter
mined hut somewhat vain strug
gle I've mado to show that there
is no such ailment and the term
is just an ancient one that we
have to uso because people aro so
dumb generally about medical
matters. Even though doctors
Htlll use tho term rheumatism or
rheumatic fever especially In
England, nobody, except the bo
wl Id ored layman, Imagines rhoum
atlz is caused by bad weather,
damp climate or exposuro to chilly
conditions. Every doctor knows
tho ailment or ailments covered by
this old nuino are manifestations
of Infection, usually by germs of
tho strain or typo called Strep
tococcus. In the majority of cases, whether
the manifestation be mere Inflam
mation of Joints, chorea, growing
pains, heart trouble or whatnot,
the Streptococci first establish
thcmHclves in the tonsils, and
thenco in time find their way to
the particular tissue or organ for
which they have an affinity, by
way of the blood stream. .
If tho victim had tho highest
attainable immunity against tho
prlmury tonsil infection, the
chances are he would never devel
op any such ailment or ailments
as thoHO mentioned in tho preced
ing paragraph.
Ono thing wo knowrnow is that
tho ultraviolet rays of sunlight, if
they can reach the naked skin, ajd
tho individual In developing Im
munity against such infection.
Another thing wo know now Is
that pure cod liver olL is tho rich
est natural sourco of vitamin A,
and vitamin A gives the . body
something qulto us essential as, If
not actually Identical with, the
influence of ultraviolet rays. !('
Therefore, be It resolved t o-v,
rather, is it not obytous that If
ono can't got his fair share of
ultraviolet on naked skin, a little
ration of cod liver oil might he
worth while. At least I think It
is, perfectly reasonable and scien
tific to say that a Httlo cod liver
oil properly used will help to keep
tho heart valves clear and smooth
and also help to keep tho joints
from croaking nnd complaining.
QUESTION'S AM) ANSWERS
Kovlvul of Antique Humbug
Can you spare a moment to ad
viso us about . this electric llfo
Haver described In the folder In
closed. Someone is trying to per
suado my father, who has pernic
ious anemia, to buy ono of them.
(11. C. J.)
Answer. Tho magnetic horse
collar a revival of tho old elec
tric belt of grandfather's day. The
suggestion that such a belt mag
netizes tho Iron In tho blood and
so purifies tho blood und heals or
corrects all manner of ailments,
Is not only absurd but a scandal
to our easy going postal regula
tions and our easy going Ameri
can sense of morality.

cooling room of un ice cream fac
f tory where the temperature is con
tstuntly 12 to 14 below. His feet
! aro cold und wet all day every
fday; in fact he has to buy new
j shoes every eight weeks because
they do not last long at such work.
Vet he nver had a cold, until
he caught ono at a party in a
neighbor's home whero they be

ti4 ta 69 degrees, and our furnace
gives off 5 or 6 gallons of water
vapor each 24 hours. Wo are' com
fortable, und we suffer none of the
"common colds" our overheated
neighbors complain of. (Mrs. F.U.)
Answer. True enough, but the
old fogies will go right on believ
ing they catch 'cm from exposure
to wt und cold.
Whitfield's Salvo or Liquid
Your formula for Vhltfields
ointment cleared up a very bad
caso of athlete's itch (toe or foot
itch) which Mr. S. had had for
three years. Our baby has his
dally ration of ripe banana as ad
vised in your column, und he In
thriving wo think, as he weighs
26 pounds at 14 months of age and
never has any more trouble from
constipation. I have found the
"Book for Us Diabetics," by Dr.
Don H. Duffle, which you recom
mended, a most helpful guide, und
our physician heartily approves of
it, too. (Mrs. T. S. S.)
Answer. The formula for the
Whitfield salvo is 25 grains of
benzoic acid, 15 grains of salicylic
acid, 2 drams of soft petrolatum
and enough cocounut oil to make 1
ounce. Apply it sparingly once
a day, at night. A liquid form of
similar composition may be used
in the day, as follows: 1 drams
of benzoic acid, 1 dram of salycllic
acid, 1 ounce of acetone and
enough alcohol to mako 4 ounces.
Apply once or twice a day.
