This, he claims would put the burden of not hitting pedes trians entirely on drivers. "The present practice of the average driver is to rely o the horn for scattering people-worse luck to him or her who doesn't jump quick enough. I can drive an automobile from one end of New York City to the other without using my horn once and without jeopardizing any one.

Bargaining in the East is well described in "When I was a Boy in Persia." A customer will ask the price of an article. The merchant will say, " Five dollars," adding, "Allah! the article is free." The customer says, "I die! What is the real price?" "In Allah's name," the dealer replies, "I cannot give it to you for any less." "My father and grandfather!" pleads the customer; can you not be reasonable? Your price is too high." "I am your sacrifice," says the dealer; "what will you give me for it?" "Two dollars, and that is more than it is worth." "What!" shouts the merchant; "do you think I found it? Feel it, feel it, see how fine it is! Now what will you give me for it?" "No, no," says the customer; "I see I to FALL t do business with you; I must try e one else." He drops the goods and is to leave.

" The Most-Quoted Magazine in America The Outlook was last month probably the mostquoted magazine in America. No sooner had the August. 18th issue appeared. than newspapers began wiring us for permission to reprint the notable interview with Senator Harding on labor. The Chicago Tribune reprinted the interview in full, featuring it in a front-page first-column position, in its issue of August 17th. The New York Times, New York Tribune, New York Sun and Herald, Springfield Republican, Detroit Free Press, Omaha Bee, and many other leading dailies promptly passed this Outlook interview on to their readers in whole or in large part.

Vanderlip, the banker, founded the famous Scar borough School J. MADISON GATHANY was appointed head of the Depart ment of History and American Citizenship. The author of "What's the Matter with the Eastern Farmer?" began his contact with the soil on a farm in the hills of Pennsyl-e vania, where he was appropriately born in a log cabin. This contact he kept throughout his boyhood, as this bit of autobiography, which we have elicited from him, reveals: After spending fourteen years on the old home farm, I was hired out to a farmer for $7 per month and my board. I had to get up at four o'clock in the morning, go fully a mile for the cows through the wet grass, and help milk them. After breakfast I went out into the fields and worked until seven o'clock in the evening. Frequently we went out to do a little extra work after supper. He went to Brown University, where he earned not only his way but his A.M. in English and History. HEODORE H. PRICE brings to his discussion of taxation a very necessary commodity for one who writes on this subject. He brings the good will of his readers, for he has earned it by his many articles in The Outlook. He brings also experience in finance, experience as an editor and writer (he is editor of "Commerce and Finance"), and the open-mindedness that enables a man to change his opinion in the presence of new evidence. In connection with his article we have a story to tell that may interest our readers. Mr. Price mentions in his article a cartoon. We were interested in it and wanted to find it to show it to our readers, so Mr. Moore, the Art Manager of The Outlook, turned to his friend Mr. Foss, of the Brooklyn Library, who promptly discovered the cartoon as reproduced in j the columns of the "Literary Digest." We had not access to the old file of the New York "World," in which it orig inally appeared. We therefore applied to the "Digest," and were accorded the courtesy of access to the "Digest's file, from which the cartoon as it ap pears in The Outlook was re-reproduced. RICHARD BARRY contrasted the char acters of Cox and Harding as newspaper men in his article last week. The article this week is a mate to that one. In obtaining his information at first hand Mr. Barry visited both Dayton and Marion, meeting and talking_not only with the candidates themselves. but with their friends and neighbors. 0 |
