that people might be hired and good
work gained from them,** Julian 8.
C'arr, Jr., In System, writes. Mr. Carr,
w-ho Is president of the Durham Hos
iery mills, goes on: “I thought In my
youth that rules made order and that
a certain military discipline was es
sential; that It w’as foolish to humor
people and all that,- nor was I going
to recognize Certain local traditions
about days on which no work should
be done. For Instaiice, I made up my
mihd that quitting work to go to the
circus was not In accord with the best
Industrial practices.
“The first circus came to town about
three months after we took charge of
the mill, and I was keen for the test.
We posted positive orders that the reg
ular hours of work were to be observ
ed on that day, and that any person
who went off to the circus would be
discharged. The full force reported
as usual on the rooming of circus day,
and I went home to dinner confident
that at last we had brought order.
'It gave me a bit of a pang, for I
should have liked to go myself I
“But duty is a stem master, and
reflecting on that fact I hurried back
to the mill. Noticing a crowd in a
side str**et, I stopped to look. It waa
our whole mill force wending Its mer
ry way to the magic tent! I went
along myself, and reaolved that, al-
though abstract rules were well
enough, a hit of common a^nae and
kno«trdge of human nature might
profitably he blended with them How
iuu< h of our labor trouble generally Is

Curioys Clubs.
The recent announcement that an
English “Bald-Headed Men’s club" had
JuSt met—the first time since 1916,
owing to the war—serves to recall qne
or two odd clubs.
“The Fat Man’s dub.” for Instance,
was known to exist in Paris In 1897.
Its heaviest member turned the scale
at 336 pounds and the chief qualifica
tion for membership w’as to weigh at
least 220 pounds.
About this time there also met In
New York the “Society of the Pointed
Beards”—a most exclusive club. No
one was eligible unless he had a care
fully cultivated heard of natural
growth and terminating In one sym
metrical point half an Inch from the
apex of the chin.
At two club dinners In 1898 even the
eelery was berved with its leaves
trimmed to a point.

DIME NOVELS COMING BACK

Mas Had tale# That Havs been
fftcsrd Breaking.
Nick Carter has come Into his owu
again. The king of the ’•paperbacks”
has made a record-breaking return to
popularity. About eighteen months
ago his sales began to mount steadily
nntil the entire supply of Nick Carter
books was exhausted, says the Sun.
Uls return to fame was unexpected.
It was not the result of an advertis
ing. campaign, for the publishers of
the paper-bound books do not adver
tise. They depend Instead for the
sale of their books on the lists printed
in the back pages of each volume.
And Nick Carter was not the only
member of the “paperback” tribe to
return. All the old favorites—Laura
Jean Llbbey, Bertha M. Clay, Mrs. E.
D. E. N. Southw’orth and Augusta J.
Evans—have “cqgoe back” surpris
ingly.
Five years ago everyone was will
ing to predict that the movies had
killed the production of cheap books.
Thrills could be absorbed more quick
ly from the screen than from the print
ed page—and the price was the same.
Publishers of the paper books are
uncertain whether their old reading
public has tired of the motion picture
or whether a new clsss of readers has
arisen. Of one thing they are certain,
though, the demand for the 10 and l.V
cent book has Increased fourfold. If
it were not for the Increased cost of
ptoductlon these publishers would be
reaping the harvest of their Uvea.
