ONLY TEN CENTS A WORD For only ten cents a word you can advertise your wants in the Classified Department of The Outlook. The favorable results may surprise you as they have surprised many other users of this effective service. We recently published an announcement headed "Have you a Rare Book, a Carved Chest, or a Personal Talent to Sell?" and that announcement led many of our subscribers to use the Department of Classified Advertising for the first time. Another announcement entitled "Inquiries at 7 Cents Each" led many others to the door of opportunity. The present announcement will lead still others to profit by the machinery of this department. WHAT HAVE YOU TO SELL? Other advertisements urge you to buy. But this one invites you to sell. Those of you who have read The Outlook regularly for years without having made use of this classified advertising service have overlooked a practical opportunity of unusual possibilities. If you are in need of a household helper, companion, nurse, governess, teacher, or business or professional assistant, you will probably find that a small advertisement in this department will bring prompt and gratifying results. The steady growth of this department bears witness to its ability to get results. Decide now what you need or what you want to sell, and then send us your advertisement before you forget about it. THE MAGIC OF MODERN BUSINESS (Continued) chines are another very valuable aid where a large volume of daily cash sales necessitates the frequent changing of currency. In plant management and cost accounting machines now have their place as well. Automatic registers are employed in stockkeeping and perpetual inventory systems; cost systems, production control systems; planning, routine, and despatch systems; tool checks and tool inventory systems; and for keeping all forms of records in manufacturing plants. Time recorders are used for making proper time studies in manufacturing operations. The starting time, stopping time, and actual elapsed time of an operation is thus checked for detailed study. The use of the ordinary time clock is familiar to every one. Time records are employed for many purposes, particularly in checking clerical and factory time work. Recording door locks are made which show the day, hour, and minute a door is opened or locked. Time machines can control all factory costs in the process of manufacturing. We might describe many other new methods for simplifying and rendering more efficient the work of the business office. Manufacturers of office appliances have also developed the "service idea" to a high degree. They maintain staffs of experts who are prepared to study the equipment needs of a business and to then specify the particular machine in their line which will best accomplish the desired work. An investigation of present developments in business equipment will frequently result in tremendous savings in time, labor, and general all-round efficiency. WANTED-CARTOONS AND PHOTOGRAPHS TH THE OUTLOOK wants to receive cartoons from its readers, clipped from their favorite newspapers. Each cartoon should have the sender's name and address together with the name and date of the newspaper from which it is taken pinned or pasted to its back. We pay one dollar ($1) for each cartoon which we find available for reproduction. Some readers in the past have lost the dollar bills to which they were entitled because they have failed to give the information which we require. The Outlook can also use good amateur photographs of interesting and timely scenes or events. We pay $3 for each one accepted, if suitable for a half page or smaller; $5 if selected for fullpage reproduction. We especially want snapshots made by the person submitting the photographs.

BROOKS BE COMFORTABLE-Wear the IN BY THE WAY N the "Stag Cook Book," which is described as "a man's cook book for men," several well-known personages tell how to cook their favorite dishes. President Harding, it seems, likes waffles better than almost anything else; Secretary Hughes says, "My favorite dish is corn bread and honey," and gives a recipe for the first-named delicacy; Charlie Chaplin likes steak and kidney pie and knows how it should be made; Dr. Frank Crane tells how to cook round steak so it will be as tender as fried chicken; Stewart Edward White confesses that a camp dish called "Mulligan" is exactly to his taste; Chick Evans likes tomato soup best if you cook it his way; Charles W. Eliot has a "favorite menu" consisting of clam soup, corned beef hash, and baked Indian pudding; Basil King likes lobster à la king (or King), but adds this curiously archaic note: "Unless brandy or sherry can be added it is useless to attempt this dish." William J. Bryan contributes to the above list of recipes one for French-fried onions, saying that he has introduced the dish on dining cars and into many private homes; Will Irwin likes ham and eggs, and in his recipe says, "Cook the ham until it is cooked enough;" W. T. Benda tells of a Polish soup called "Barshck with Ushka;" Walter Prichard Eaton won't tell about his favorite dish because it is a family secret, but gives a recipe for mince pie; Montague Glass prefers bouillabaisse to anything else in the eating line, and takes two pages to tell how it should be made; Charles P. Steinmetz admits that he has never before been consulted about gastronomical matters, but says he likes meat loaf best and gives careful directions for making it; Judge Lindsey likes bran muffins and Otis Skinner "Artichokes, Mister Antonio" style, which he says enables you to "understand why an artichoke need not taste as flat as boiled hay.” Here is a variation on an old theme, But a piker with a poker picked on And pocketed the poker-pot that The Sanford, Florida, "Herald" is credited with an announcement that must have been cheerful reading to the local undertaker at least. It is headed, "Looking Forward to a Pleasant Time Being Had by All:" " & Son have a new hearse and as far as hearses go it is a beauty, being finished in the very latest design of burnished silver called 'molten silver.' . . . — & Son are well equipped to take care of all the funerals in this section of the country having two fine funeral cars with the prospects of the old car being turned into an ambulance. Like everything else on wheels -MADE AT KEY WEST hearses with the horses and other BROOKS APPLIANCE CO., 471J State St., Marshall, Mich. Cortez CIGARS equipment have given way to the new motorized funeral cars and if one must ride in this car it will certainly be satisfactory." "Two years ago," a writer in the "National Geographic Magazine" says, "the little seaport of La Paz, in Lower California, had more dollars per wagon-load of population, perhaps, than any other town in the western part of the world." La Paz, it seems, is one of the most important pearling ports in the world, and the price of pearls had climbed high. "In the crown jewels of the Emperor of the dissolved Austria-Hungary," the writer goes on. "there was-and no doubt the pearl specialists know where it is to-day-a great black pearl. That gem was found in the careless hands of an Indian baby playing on the beach at La Paz." Among the few things that were left undestroyed in or near Smyrna after the entry of the Turks were the remains of the great aqueduct of Alexander, so called. These majestic ruins really date from the Roman occupation, and the massive piers and great arches (a triple arcade, like those of the Pont du Gard in France) are said to have the characteristics of the best work of the Imperial epoch, Great buttresses added to strengthen the arches are believed to be by the engineers of Marcus Aurelius. Signs of improving industrial conditions are seen in the numerous labor agencies on the Bowery in New York City. One of these has a placard in its window calling for "Coal miners-Hungarians, Liths, Russ, Poles, Slavs, Spaniards." The spelling out of the firstnamed nationality instead of using the familiar abbreviation "Huns" is doubtless due to war-time memories. "Liths" of course stands for Lithuanians. Salvage remuneration to the owners, officers, and crew of a rescuing vessel, amounting to $25,000 in all, as awarded by a Canadian Admiralty Court, was apportioned as follows: Owners, $17,000; captain, $1,500; first officer, $700; second officer, $550; chief engineer, $800; second engineer, $500; wireless operator, $500; divided among members of the crew, $3,500. The case got into the courts because the owners of the rescued vessel thought just one-half of these amounts was proper compensation for the service rendered. In the new Senate, to convene next year, there will be two physicians-Dr. Copeland, of New York, and Dr. Ball, of Delaware. Senator Shipstead, of Minne sota, is a dentist by profession. Two college presidents are included in the Senate's personnel-Fess, of Ohio, and Ladd, of North Dakota. Senator Norbeck, of South Dakota, is described as a "well-digger." "In matters of grave public policy," the New York "Evening Post" remarks dryly, "he should have no difficulty in getting down to the bottom of things." $3 $5 Suitable Geneseo Gift Box $309 -GIFT BOOKS ON A GENUINE Published by the CHELSEA PUBLISHING CO. 16 Royal Hospital Rd., London, Eng.
