DIM YOUR LIGHTS-WHEN PASSING OTHERS The last Legislature parsed a law cQmpelling autoists to cliro-fiieitlights when they passed each other at night, and the observance of such a law by the motorists will add much to their own safe ty. In many sections custom has caused them to dim their lights, but many in thjs section do not take thissafety precaution, even when failure to do so is against the law. Every man with a car should dim his lights when passing another car, and should "bawl out" any one who passes him without doing the same thing. The blinking glare of strong headlights has caused many a car to land in the ditch. o ' THE RETURNED GOODS EVIL Ithas. not been so, very long ago that a cash cus tomer was considered better than one whose name was carried upon the Jpppks. Cash custo mers were sought, and prizes and discounts were offered in an effort to induce cash purchases. But of late many stores have seemed to prefer the charge t class of buyers, . probably - for the reason that they will buy more and discriminate less when they are buying, on time. So .keen has been the competition for this class of trade that many inducements have, been offered to land it for the adyertisers. Chief among the inducements of fered has been the right of approval, and the charge class of buyers have made it a nuisance arid a burden upon the other people. Seldom if ever are goods. which are returned in as good a, condition as they were at first. They may have been soiled, torn, or even , worn, and when finally, returned hava deteriorated greatly. Every. merchant is familiar with the loss entailed by tjiis process of approval, and of course the cus tomers have to foot the bill. The overhead charge on this class of trade is frightful when compared with the original cost of the article, but it must be paid by the cash customers to make up for the loss to the merchant. Many stores throughout the country are put ting, into effect a "You Tote", plan, whereby every customer carries away his purchases, and where there are no returns of goods on approval. In this way ther buyer, who goes, to that store gets his money's worth, and does not have to shell out an extra twenty . per cent of the selling price to pay for the evils and extravagances of the charge and approval system. . By eliminating the delivery sytemand the merchant, is ple to jiojbusiness on a cheaper scale, and is ,able to pass t the Spying jMorigt6 his customer. " As a war measure for eliminating unnecessary labor, and a cnxesure of gopd, Tsound,' common sense, such systems should be dscarded, or at least greatly reduced.. It is oboslete, and has been worked to. death, and has no place in the "modern world of .scientific economy and efficiency.
