These ideas were rath \ hazy impressions to the effect it to engage in business for a 'etime was bound to coarsen le spiritual fiber of a man and commercialize his outlook on 'e so that he would tend to ure everything in terms of liars and cents. t Time may have been when this was more or less true. Even yet there are men in business to Whom their business is nothing it a means toward making Jves more powerful and ard gratifying their selfish ibitions. But the thoughts of in have widened with the pro of the suns and more and ire, it seems to us, the service is beginning to dominate ""Commercial and industrial Id.

A young man, a university grad-1 uate, wax forced to take over a milk distributing business from his fath-j ??r. because of the latter's illmss. , In a few years he Increased the vol-' ume ten times. He had ten thou-1 sand customers, and he owned as' many horses as a circus. He was making money, but thei money didn't satisfy him. He got sot he hated the sight of milk, because it suggested all the disagreeable fea tures of his business?troubles with roughneck wagon drivers, petty wrangles with farmers, and the over whelming Job of keeping his ten thousand customers satisfied. One day he poured his woes Into the ear of a friend, and this friend said: "Do you think you are the only man in the world who would like to Jump off the eurth? If the President of the I'nited States told you his troubles he would make you look like a bawling child. Why don't you quit peddling milk and get the ideu into your head that you are helping to improve the fibre of the coming generation by supplying the cleanest and richest milk in the city?" The milk man began to think" about this. He already had a model plant, his sources of supply were regularly inspected, his delivery equipment was maintained in spick and span condition: in fact, the whole establishment was operated with the precision of a man-o'-wax*__ The moment he began to think of himself as something other than a peddler, the clouds lifted and the sun shone. Within a few months he was interested in experiments in nutri tion, and he was consulting and be ing consulted by the county health association. I mention this experience because It Is typical of what is happening to thousands of business men. As more of us grasp the true significance of what we are doing and adopt this public service attitude we will find ourselves living more abundantly, and. Incidentally, making more money. Now the foregoing sermon ette was not delivered from the pulpit nor is it the pronounce ment of a philosopher. It is the thought of a hard-headed, prac tical and successful business ex ecutive who takes an hour a day from the routine of his desk to scribble down ideas about work that come to him while he is a*| it. The Advance is undertaking this series of news stories about Elizabeth , City industries andj business enterprises in the hope of getting Elizabeth City busi-j ness executives to thinking about their business in terms of public service and of bringing the Elizabeth City masses to a better understanding and appre ciation of the value of these bus inesses to their community and of the problems, the personality; and the ideals of the men who direct them.

OHIO JAILS SPKKDKKS Continued from Page 1 running all the way from petty lar ceny to second degree murder. The older women in the jail were frank ly surprised when they saw the dain ty "Rosebud" come tripping in arid heard the steel doors clang shut be hind her. In true prison fashion they demanded of her: -'What-you li\ for?" "One day." replied the "Bud" In-, nocently. "Not that. What didja do?" *'Oh, nothing, honestly." "That s a ?ood one," laughed one1 of the women in a raucous roar; j "nobody ever gets in here for do ing nothing honestly." In order to clear herself of any1 deeper suspicions on the part of her, fellow prisoners. Miss Harkrader ad mitted to her companions in crime that a "nasty ofTicer" who stole up on her in a flivver and ordered her to stop insisted that she was driv ing down one of the principal streets of the city at 30 miles an hour. The I "companions" were plainly disap pointed. They had evidently hoped for something far more interesting. Then they told the girl their stories. The woman accused of second de gree murder was the one who the day before had tossed a bottle of acid on her sweetheart and he had died from inhaling the fumes. She said, she did it because of her great love for the man and she told the co-ed never, never, never to fall In love with a man. Wide-eyed and open mouthed the "Rosebud" vowed then and there she never would. A number of other women have been similarly sentenced here since the new order was adopted. The au thorities say that in the end the Jail ing of all fast drivers is a protec tion for the motorists themselves. For one thing it will do away with the "speed traps" in the villages of the country where motorists are picked up and fined for the benefit of the community and of the con stables and magistrates. Four very prominent residents of Dayton bowled into Columbus a day or two ago at something like 35 miles an hour. Pretty soon they were bowling to the station house and although they are out on bail, one of their number will have to go to Jail. There is no way out. The rule is inflexible. In some cases there is also a fine. | Major James J. Thomas, of Co lu in bus, also conducts a motor school nearly every Saturday morning.
