The latter must pay the cost of doing business, including that incurred for- bad debts, and a statistical study of the size of this burden should be helpful in low- ering it, And it should be of importance to retailers to. ascertain how far they are above or below the average in delinquent accounts and credit losses, Of special interest is the phase of the sur- vey which will deal with installment buying, This old form of extending buyer credit has expanded in recent years until it has become one of the outstanding factors of modern business, accredited by one school for much of present-day prosperity and looked upon by another as a serious threat to financial stability, : The popularity of installment buying makes evident the fact that without the liberal use of credit trade and commerce would be much: less active, Producers and merchants have become accustomed to ex- tensions of credit that would have been con- sidered extremely risky only _a generation ago, While it is agree® that business has been stimulated by the new sales methods, ac- curate figures have long been lacking deal- ing with the efficiency of the practice, The fact that fhe. financial structure of any na- tion is founded upon credit has long been recognized, but beyond generalities little has been known, Through the survey it is hoped to quiet the fears of those pnreasonably pessimistic over the credit situation, and to show to business the economic limitations of the modern credit structure. ---------- "THE THINGS UNSEEN" Under this head the great Chicago de- partment store of Marshall Field & Co, in- serted in the Chicago Tribune a few weeks ago the following unique advertisement: "At the end of their first week in business the owners of a little shop lowered the cur- tains of their windows and went home, "On each succeeding Saturday night the every afteraconm at Oshawa, THE OSHAWA DALY | curtains were e pulled down and kept down | until Monday. "As the little shop grew the suggestion came from many sources that the curtains should stay up. 'The windows are beauti- ful,' people said; 'let us walk by and look.* "The owners had an old-fashioned back- ground.. They had been taught in childhood that six days are enough for the things that are seen. The, first day. of the week, they said, is for the things unseen--rest and worship, and family life, and freedom from thoughts of business. "Seventy-five years have passed. The store has grown until its windows are said to be mere valuable than any windows in the world, But the example of the founders re- mains, and all day Sunday the shades are' down." Commenting on the above the Manufac- turers' Record says: "Is this old-fashioned custom good, in days when so many old-fashioned customs are be- ing crowded out? We like to think so, We like the idea that on thé first 'day of the week the church and the home should come first, "Strong churches and strong homes build strong cities. All the great words of busi- ness--service and courtesy and Kindliness and truth--have their inspiration in reli gion, And prosperity is only permanent where there is reverence, and mutual trust, and faith," Here is a thought worthy of consideration by some of our Oshawa merchants, Sunday is a day when business should be as far 'as possible from the thoughts of men and wo- men, It is not generally thought of as a day for shopping. Why then, should it be a day for "window shopping?" Let's think it' over, EDITORIAL NOTES Some men look so cheap they give them- selves away.

For handling eity traffic, aerial highways are receiving the greatest attention and meet highway engin- cers' ideas of the coming arterial thoroughfare within large metropoli- tan areas.

Formerly it could do nothing but hear and obey. Now it can talk back. The mechanical man, or Televos, .was hailed as the perfect employee when it was first inventee by R. J. Wensle¢y of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Com- pany, because it could obey orders and do mothing else. It could not even speak when spoken to. Now the inventor has endowed it with words. When it is hailed over ike teleph it responds ir « well- modulated and deferential voice: "Televox speaking." It can even initate a conversa- tion. If something goes wrong, for instance, at a power substation where the Televox is on duty it can lift the receiver and say: "This is the Televox calling for Main 5000." When Televox is connected with that number the conversation will continue in buzzer code. The man at headquarters will ask by inter- rogatory buzzes what is wrong, and the Televox will reply in the same form--one, two op three buzzes or a combination of buzzes, each meaning something different. In place of wogal chords the mechanical man has had a talking film introduced among fits organs. The words to be spoken are record- ed by photgraphy on a film and introduced into the physiology of the man that was born in a labora- -- At a Clr on't Give In When you' B feeling rather blue, And don't know what to do, When the 'world seems black to you, Don't go on moping ; When the clouds across your sky Look so dark and heavy, why Don't give up with saddened' sigh; Just keep om hoping.

' A FOOTPATH SUGGESTION (Farmers Advocate) The tax notices indicate that farm- ers play some small part in paying for the highways.

QUEER RULING (Niagara Falls Review) The recent decision of the appel- late court that there is no such thing as right and wrong sides of the roads for motorists, is bound to cause trou ble.

Renrut, AIMEE (Detroit Saturday Night) Whether Aimee Semple McPherson will actually pack her fireworks and journey to Zion City on the shores of Lake Michigan, remains to be seen, byt it is currently rumored that Los Angeles' favorite daughter plans an invasion of the kingdom of Wil- bur Glenn Voliva. Mr. Voliva is abroad at present, searching for truth, travelling about until he ar- rives at a spot somewhere in Asia where he can stand on the rim of the world and peer over the edge. At any rate, Zion City is nonce without its stiepherd, and the time is ripe for competition to steal in. But cvangelically, Mr. Voliva's reservation offers very slim pickings. Zion City has been too thoroughly sold on the Voliyvian theses that the earth is flat, that the sun is 50 miles distant and that the force of gray- ity is a myth, to even consider Aimee's choicest wares. Business is still good at the Angelus Temple, too good to warrant risking a flop in territory that has already been work- ed to death. If Aimee is wise, she will stick to the home grounds where the fish bite harder than anywhere else PROFITABLE INSTRUCTION-- Poverty and shame shall be to him PRAYER --Loxd. teach me, me. ila" WH SRY -- for the | MONDAY, JUNE 4,.1928 By Jas. W. Barton, M.D. GIRLS LOOKING LIKE BOYS A new angle on this matter of "keeping thin" is advanced by Dr, S. A. Kropf in discussing the in- crease in tuberculosis among young women. As you know tuberculosis has been gradually decreasing, and it was felt that this scourge would gradu- ally be swept from the face of the earth. However "the sanitariums have begun to notice an increase in the number of patients admitted, and' this increase is among Yo young girls from 15 to 19 years of ag Many of us have thought nat these girls were doing without food so as to be lithe and slim, but Dr. Knopf says it is because these girls want to look like boys." They "are trying to walk, talk, stand, and smoke like boys, and know that if they cat as they should they will get the natural rounded shape of the well formed woman. Now no one is going to quarrel with adults, men or RE who do, not wish to put on extra weight. The penalties of overweight are numer- ous indeed. However it is because these girls from 15 to 19 are just emerging into wdmanhood that the dangers of un- dereating are so serious. Our food needs are in proportion to the size of the surface of the body. A girl 15 to 19 has a frame almost as large as her, mother, and she therefore needs praatically as much food on that account alone. However she is still growing in height and width, and extra food must be taken to supply this growth. Therefore if the girl doesn't get the food, then every cell in her body is just that much poorer in strength. Is it to be wondered 'at therefore | that an ailment like tuberculosis at- tacks so many of these girls? Just when, they need more food than at any other time in their lives they take less. I believe we are all glad to see them indulging in games as do boys. This means a strengthening of heart, lungs, and entire body. These ath- letic girls must eat to keep up their strength for games. But thinking parents, and the girls themselves, would do well to consider this sig- nificant fact that while tuberculosis is decreasing at every otlrer age in both men and women, it is actually increasing in young womeén 15 to 19 years of age, due to under nourish- ment. This is a hard cold fact. i ---------------- WOMAN SERIOUSLY HURT WHEN CAR TURNS OVER Windsor, June 3.--A serious ac- cident to a colored couple occurred at 10 o'clock this morning on the curve at the southern limits of the Town of Essex. The couple were driving .slowly on No. 3 highway, and as they were turning on th curve a tire blew out and the coup began to shimmy. About fifty feet farther another tire blew out, and the driver lost control, as the car left the pavement, hit a stone and rolled over. Eye-witnesses say they were driving about ten miles an hour. The woman was pinned un- der the car and seriously injured ahout the hips and back. The man escaped with some bruises and a bad shaking up.

Canada is in- stituting conversations with the United States Government with a view to preventing recurrences on either side of the border. It was a party of Americans from Saranac Lake, N.Y., who had their flag taken from their machine and trampled, the incident happening May 30, according to Willlam J. McQuarrie, British Columbia Con- servative, in the House of Com- mons yesterday. McQuarrie wanted the Canadian Government to pass legislation compelling foreign = automobile tourists displaying their national flag also to carry a Canadian flag of the same size. "Personally," sald Premier King, "I do not like the idea of compul- sory legislation on matters of thls | kind. 1 should think that possib- ly there might be conversations be. tween the legations in Washing- ton and Ottawa as to the practice which each ceuntry might follow in matters of international sauntéey.
