The Germans, says the newspaper, recently arrested two women, Mme. Pfeister and her daughter, aged 22, on the Swiss-Alsatian frontier. They were charged with acting as spies. The women promply admitted at the trial that they had smuggled letters without knowing theirr contents, ters without knowing their contents, Switzerland. This was done simply as a friendly act. and without political or malicious purpose. J Both women, says La Suisse, were shot at Mulhausen. The mother was a horified witness of the execution of her daughter before her turn came. The newspaper adds that it has received confirmation of the execution of the women from their relatives. TELLING IT IN CONFIDENCE Enjoining 8ecrecy Is Qood Way to Revive Lagging Attention, but Sometimes It Is Dangerous. When you are talking to a man and when his Interest In what you are saying begins to lag, a good wny to resuscitate him Is to lean forward and say: "What I am going to tell you Is In the strictest confidence. You must not breathe a word of It." Ordinarily one who hns that said to him will wake up and pay uttcntlon to your conversation?at least for a while. What you have really done when you say that to a man Is this: You have prevented him from going to sleep on your hnnds, you have stirred his curiosity, you huve advertised! As a scheme for stimulating Interest In your line of talk It Is all right. But If what you then proceed to tell him Is something that you really want to have kept secret, the plan Is a poor nn<k T* tTAii hntTA l?#Ai?*Mn*l/\M 4-U-.A Viiw. 11 JVU 1I?TC itiivi uiuiMMi LI 111L ^ UU don't want people to sprend around? keep It to yourself, says "Sid" In the American Mngaztne. The trouble with a human being who hears a thing In confidence la often this?he can't remember that he heard It In confidence. He remembers the Item of news providing It Is Juicy enough, but the fact that he hoard It In confidence Is a little like handing a man a Jewel In an envelope nnd at the same time warning him to take as good care of the envelope as he takes of the Jewel. Everything goes all right for a while. But by and by the envelope wears out. It Is a flimsy sort of thing anyway. And so there comes a time when the envelope, having grown thin and weak and frayed at the edges, slips off or Is cast off, and nothing remains but the Jewel. How did I acquire all this wisdom on the subject of confidential communications? I will tell you. I acquired It recently In the school of experience. About three months ago I told something In strict confidence to a friend ?a man of the highest character, one who would not Injure me Intentionally for the world. But?and this Is what gave me a Jar?he went and lost the green envelope, for yesterday he colled at my office, carefully closed the door, drew his chulr near to mine nnd In o low voice told me In "strictest confidence" exactly the same thing that I told hlml HERCULES NON SKID On Sale By D.
