ELMO MASSEGALE. twenty-fifth anniversary. It . marked the first quarter-century of the South's , oldest advertising agency.

ARE PLANNING FIGHT AGAINST ILLITERACY San Francisco, June 14. Plans for an educational campaign against "eco nomic illiteracy" to be conducted this summer by the National Association of Credit Men were announced today by J. H. Tregoe, secretary-treasurer, in his report to the annual convention of the organization. The entire machinery of 130 affiliat ed associations of credit experts will be utilized, Mr. Tregoe said. An effort will be made to cultivate a proper understanding of fundamental economic laws in business.. "The qualities of a real religion in business are the qualities for which we will strive," the report said. "American business men must typify always the highest commercial quali ties and stand for something that can always be relied upon for the faithful and generous performance of con tracts. This is the goal upon which we must fix our eyes." HAMBURG RECOVERS RAPIDLY Liverpool, June 14 Members of the Liverpool Steamship Owners Asso ciation, who have been in Hamburg recently, say they were struck with the rapidity with which that port is recov ering its trade, especially during recent months, and the extent to which the trade is being carried by American ships.

Wouldn't our city's recent notable guests have been amazed if they had known that they had been granted the privilege of pushing a peddler's cart about our nice paved streets? At the time of one al dermanic discussion over granting the 'freedom of the city" to a visiting scientist of considerable fame, the ques tion was raised, "Just what is this granted freedom anyhow?" In the words of the much quoted play, "What's all the shootin' for?" Well, Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer, de scendant of some of those who estab lished Manhattan's laws and prece dents, has come forward with the an swer. At least, she gives us the origin al meaning, but admits that times have changed, and that she'd like to know for herself what the modern phase is all about. In the days of her remote ancestors, says Mrs. Van Rens selaer, the freedom of the city amount ed in effect to a peddler's license, which gave the holder freedom to push his cart and sell his wares in the city streets. She has a copy of one of these ancient documents. And she is inter ested in knowing whether the Alder men stick to the old form and grant just that to the city's honored guests. It is means something else she thinks the officials ought to tell us what it is and show us the documents. One more new profession! There's an enterprising young man who just walks about town looking for auto mishaps. Then he steps politely up and tells you how much he'll take to put your auto all in shape. Or if it is too far gone, he'll offer to buy it for cash. He walks out into the morning air, gets a hunch from somewhere as to what' part of town will be a good one for accidents that day and sallies forth. The poor man was trying to sell his 'Panama" hats by that oldest dodge in the world. "I'm the man from Pan ama," he told the housewife as he sidled into her door. "My sister makes these -hats in Panama. I get them up here and sell them for . almost nothing. Think, lady, a real Panama, hat for $5!" The lady - "thought" and remembered his . appearance one other time as "The man from Montreal" with furs. Then she looked inside the hats. A little Japanese label in each one! 'Your sister must have gone to Japan." she said, "See here it is rhA words the .TaDanese nut in." The man was visibly confused. He mutely surrendered: packed the hats and turn ed to go. Then he turned around, be reft of salesmanship, lowered his voice and said, not as a salesman, . but as one human being to another. "Honest, lady, tell me. These hats, do they real ly come from Japan?" In one of the smartly gay restaur ants of this city are two tablets, bemo rials to sentiment, imbedded in the walls. It doesn't seem a New Yorky sort of thing to find, except that al most anything in the world can be considered belonging here . Anyway: two men met the women who became their wives in this restaurant, -the Beaux Arts, and in spite of all the husbands who forget -wedding anniver saries every year, these two men made a romantic gesture to the 'importance of the event. The "jewelled . tablets are in the grill. Both are bronze plaques inlaid in alcoves and enclosed in glass. The first is set with a fiery opal and carries the mystic inscription, "Happy Dawn, September 1908." Andre Buston oby, the proprietor, remembers who put it there, but he does not tell. The other tablet was the work of a well known New York lawyer. It is set with a large torquoise and engrav ed, "A. and L. Aere Perennius" came from a similar tablet in the wails of the art room of the cafe, put there by friends of Louis Bustonoby, founder of the place, on his return from France. Picnickers are pretty handy foik, I've always thought. Otherwise t'oey wouldn't be picnickers for any length of time. But I never realized how much more durable their digestion wehe than those ofi sturdy animals, like sheep, for instance. However, 30 of the famed Dorset horned sheep, which graze in the meadows of Central Park, became deathly ill 'of gastritis, from eating some of the remains of the Memorial Day picnics held in the meadows. The care-taker tried to make the place, all neat and clean before they let their charges back after the special dispen sation for picnics over the holiday, but bits of dill pickles and devilled eggs were still about, and they were entirely too much for the gentle sheep. When it comes to mileage, the stay-at-home New Yorker has it pretty well over any of his traveling friends. One of the travelers remarked proudly the other day that he had taken a 5,000-mile trip around the country last year. "I guess that ought to be enough for any man,", said he. "Five thousand miles! A mere "nothing," retorted the stay-at-home. "I traveled 5,840 miles last year without going outside the city. I live in 116th street and work at Park Place. That's 8 miles one way, or 16 miles a day. Figure it out for; yourself." : LUCY JEANNE PRICE. Grocers have "Jack Frost" Salt. It Is clean and. pure.

SOFT LO OKING BLOUSES Few women realize the importance of choosing proper blouses to go with tailored suits. , The blouse will really make or mar , the effectiveness of a costume I have often said that if a wfman must be economical with her clothes she will look smarter in an old shabby suit with a good looking hat, gloves, shoes and blouse, than if she bought a handsome suit and economized on these details. ' When the suit coat is off the skirt does not count the blouse is the most important part of the costume. Now if you are getting on toward middle age you probably cannot wear a tailor ed blouuse. The lines are so severe that only a young fresh face can stand them. Your blouses may be tailory enough in style if they are made , of some very soft material such as voile A ml 1 : ' I- T: h main on the face yernight, which can easily be effected 'by a covering of absorbent cotton.

Any good tonic massaged into the skin below the hair line will cause the hair to grow at that place. Red vaseline may do it.

If you are sallow never "wear a white blouse. Wear cream or a very pale flesh pink, and choose soft ma terials and sft lace or frills. If you have a clear skin and plenty of color, white will always be daintiest and the most becoming choice. If you are short or stout it is much better to choose a blouse the - samn shade as the suit, thus making a costume in stead of a waist and skirt which breaks the figure in the middle. Small picot frills or tiny pleatings look well even on tailored blouses and add a touch of softness that is . al ways becoming. Lace is dainty, but it should always be good lace, and too much should be avoided. Beware of embroidery and beads; if these are used they should be sparingly. E. F. H.
