Otflrff PmI There should be a law against critics revealing the surprise end ings of plays, films and novels. There is a current film that has a clever surprise angle. It is a real punch in the picture. Yet I read a criticism that revealed that surprise. Guess I'll have to start a bitter campaign against this practice. I hadn't seen the picture referred to and when I did my enjoyment of it was less ened by knowing about the sur prise angle. HorsM k Woman Commenting on the advice of that man who said young fellows should get into a business calling for "equipping ships or women," a New Yorker says he took it. He manufactures that article of attire referred to as "gay de ceivers" or "falsies." He says over 5,000,000 pairs of "falsies" were sold in the United States last year including those used to wear with bathing suits. He adds that even though he is in the busi ness he does not believe bachelor- ettes should wear "falsies." That so doing is a deception which is unfair to prospective husbands. A married woman, in featuring sutfh attire, says he, "deceives only the public." Aides E. J. Christie, in charge of New York City's weather bu reau, has a record of being 87 per cent correct on weather pre dictions. How would you like to have a horse handicapper who could predict like that? . . . Ever own an automobile propelled by steam? I never did. But that type of car has always interested me.1 Especially the Doble steam car. It is said that in tests some steam cars attained a speed of 200 miles an hour. Kerosene could be used for fuel for these cars. Asking Queries from clients: Q. What was the contents of the card of biblical quotations P. T. Barnum gave to those requesting passes to his circus? A.

"Beware that thou pan not." 2 Kings 6-9. "Neither any son of man shall pass." Jeremiah V 43. "Though they roar, yet they cannot pass." Jeremiah V 22. "So he paid the fare there of and went." Jonah 1-3. Business Woman A woman I know developed a highly successful business by concentrating her sales efforts on telephone girls. This woman sold dresses. Her place of business was the garret of her house. The name she gave her establishment was "The Garret Shop." She was a clever buyer at wholesale. As a starter she gave a couple of tele phone girls unusual dress bar gains. These young women told See f By E. V. Durlmg ftmwm WawH lacJ other telephone girls about it. Soon telephone girls all over New York City were buying clothes at the shop in the garret and its owner was making a net profit of around $30,000 a year. Cut Rates "The world's biggest 5 cent sandwich." That is the slogan of the lunch counter at Coultrap's store in Tappan Lake. Ohio. The lunch counter is only a small part of the establishment It has numerous departments. Even has a barber shop where a haircut is 49 cents. The prices in all de partments at Coultrap's are un believably low, yet the outfit had a 10 per cent net profit last year. It claims to have served 1,000.000 customers. Asides As you know.

Increasing Amounts Increasing amounts of blood collected by various local pro grams are going to hospitals with in the area, according to Jack son. He stated that, at present, about half of the blood collected is being used within the area. This amount should be cut to one-third by increasing the total amount collected, Jackson said.
