Berlin Sees Her Take Place by His Side In All Lines of Business The following letter was written by an American woman In Berlin I 'Through the vicissitudes of war woman has come very much to tho front In these days, and has taken hold In all spheres of work with an astonishing adaptability. A stronger force than suffrage has opened the doors to equal rights and alt positions In alt fields of endeavor are now open to woman. And sho has not been slow to seize her opportunity. But here again It was a higher Impulse which first led woman Into her new posi tion the love of the fatherland and the wish to help shoulder to shoulder with hus band, father, brothers and sons who are fighting "out there" to prttect tha country. And woman Is fighting at home. As' a Whe! she is fighting' to protect arid maintain the welfare of the country at home, ns nn In dividual to protect tho household and prl vato Interests Intrusted to her keeping by the husband at tho front. The main field of activity among tho well-to do is naturally charity Women of means and Influence have organized and arc conducting charities that provide fdr the maintenance of their less fortunate Waters and the families of those who have fallen In the war Many of the tipper classes have studied nursing and are actlvo In hospitals In the cities or On the hos pital trains that run from Berlin to the eastern or western frontiers, to bring back the less dangerously wounded, or are busy In the "Volkskucke," or "Public Kitchen," where the unemployed nn those who, through the war are deprived of support, nre given hot meals gratis every day. But It Is particularly In the lower walks of life that the real change Is noticeable, far here woman has' stepped Into man's position and. quietly tnken up the work which he laid down in answer to his coun try's call. Tho strong, rosy-cheeked Schaffnerln on the tramcar collects your fare, watches to Bee that all her passengers are safely en board and rings the bell, with all the "sa voir fairs" of nn bid hand And sha Is, by tho way, far more good-natured and Jolly than her husband used to be. I do not remember on any occasion ever seeing a "Schaffnerln" In a bad temper and they certainly have many provocations. When people push and crowd, the sturdy little "Schaffnerln" pleasantly calls out the Ger man equivalent for "step lively, please"! firmly refuses to allow a cross old gentle man nnd two soldiers to get on the crowded tram, shakes her head good-naturedly, "Ncln, melne Ilerrcn, alles besetit" (No( sirs, all full), rings the bell and off we go. She IS always firm but good-natured, this rosy-cheeked little "Schaffnerln." They wear n uniform ot dark greenish gray a skirt reaching to the ankles, coat and cap exactly like those of tho conductors. Naturally, only very strong women from the peasant class ard accepted for these positions, as they can boat withstand the great strain this work entails. Of late I hae even seen "motorwomen." As I was walking down the Charlottenburg Chauasee the other day a team came tovynrd me and standing tn front running It was WBOT Wf ii it Ifa maii.JMtoiaiMiMttWiftfe ft strong- red-Meal peasant woman wearing1 the regulation coat and cap of the motor man's unirortn. It Is nothing unusual to fees women driving taxtcabs, but quite the most extraordinary sight ot all greeted tne hs I stepped out of the subway train at the Prledrlchstrasse Station a few days pgo A woman wearing the regulation coat nnd cap nnd wide bloomers, that reached to her ankles, ran along the platform, closed th doors, called out some unintelligible direc tion, threw up her arm smartly In signal to the motorman and the train g'llded m6othly out of the station. She was one of the new "starters," and slnco then 1 have seen many at different stations. They are Very smart In their practical uniforms, quick and alert Immovement and thorough' ly efficient In their work The posts of ticket collector In the Under ground formerly occupied by men, are now filled entirely by women. These are only a few of the ways In which the German woman has quietly taken her position shoulder to shoulder with man, and while he Is fulfilling his duty to his country out there at the front woman at home Is capably filling his place and Is working with him for tho welfare of fam ily, home and Fatherland.

"And nine out of ten missed it for the same reason. They could not make up their minds." That's the way lots of folks are born to hesitate and lose out They buy land, they build, they buy stocks, after all these things have gone up. They always pay dear because they can't decide. Here is a striking instance: When the new Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was offered the public on India paper, in light thin volumes, it was frankly an experiment It was new. No great encyclopaedia had ever been published in such form. So, to acquaint the public with its beauty and its advantages, the publishers offered it at an especially low price, to early buyers. This price had soon to be raised, and the fact was widely advertised. But many still hesitated. With this result: that nearly two-thirds of the purchasers of the Cambridge ' University issue have paid an average of over $30 per set more than if they had seized the first chance. With a total loss, of over one million dollars. Yet this was no added profit to the publishers. It was just lost, swallowed up. Identically the same thing is happening noW! We believed there was a huge public which wanted the Encyclopaedia Britannica but could not afford to pay $166 or more per set for the Cambridge University issue. So we arranged with the publishers for a new issue of the same work, unabridged, in a smaller form. We contracted with them for an enormous printing, and so were able to offer the public a woiiderful bargain the new Eleventh Edition, unchanged by a line, at one-third the price of the larger-sized work the whole 29 volumes, the complete work, sent upon the payment of a single dollar; and small monthly payments after you have the books to use and enjoy. . Price to be increased $11 to $19 When wo made this contract wo had no thought of wars and soaring prices. And wo hoped to go on sellinp; this wonderful work for years at these low prices, Now the publishers notify us that they can supply U3 with no more sets at anything like present costs. Tho sets wo contracted for ore nearly all gono and It will bo necessary for us to Increaso the price by $11 per sot on the cheapest binding to $19 on tho highest priced binding. And it ia not at all certain that we shall be able to secure any considerable number of sets even at these prices. Now! It is up to you. We give you this notice. Which will you do? Are you going to be one of tho people who hesitate, who put off? Do you belong to tho people who can't decide the people who always pay dear because they can't make up their minds ? Are you going to wait and pay more ? We have received to date more than 150,000 letters and inquiries regarding our offer of tho new "Handy Volume" Issue. Of these it is probable that at least 25,000 people will eventually purchase it at a higher price. That means that they, too, are going to throw awjiy from a half million to a million dollars just by waiting. This money will not come to us it will not go to tho publishers It will just be wasted. "Are you this kind? f Every day you let pass without tho new Encyclopaedia Britannica in your home, or at your office, may mean a reaTTbss. In its 40,000 carefully written, practical and authoritative articles, you might find one new fact which might bo worth to you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Many peoplo have. And you will never be able to buy it so cheaply as now. Motor cars and such thingta may go down in price, because a wild craze for them Is on and the companies are now making huge profits. But the new Encyclopaedia Britannica is sold on the narrowest margin of profit, both to us and to the publishers, because wo wanted this year to offer to our public the greatest bargain we had ever putbefore them. We cannot continue thl3 sale at these prices. Paper, leather, and all the costs in manufacture have so advanced that it is impossible. You need this great work. Your family your children need it. There are few gifts which wideawake men and women would prize more than the new Encyclopaedia Britannica. k In buying it you are absolutely sure It is the best that money can buy. The King of England or the Czar of all the Russias, or Mr. Rockefeller cannot buy a better; nor anything that is even second. Which are you going to do ? Buy now or wait ? Are1 you going to 'do the same thing?

It ia very much like trying to describe tho earth in a page or two. But the publishers of The Encyclopaedia Britannica have prepared a very remarkable book of 130 pages, which docs attempt to glvo you some i'ea of tho wonderful variety and real human interest of these volumes. It is illustrated with nearly 200 pictures directly from the Britannica itself, and gives you a hundred interesting bits of information, revealing The Encyclopaedia Britannica from a hundred different points of view. It gives you portraits of 70 or more of the celebrated scholars and men of science, travelers and explorers, who have made the new Britannica.; and it tells you, too, of the long array of great men like Sir Walter Scott, DeQuincey, Macaulay end Huxley, and scores of others who have contributed to tho Britannica in past days. It tells the story of tho beginnings of this famous york, back in the days of King George Til, and how it quickly took rank as the greatest of all encyclopaedias. , For Bright Boys and Girls To prove that there Is just as much in The Encyclopaedia Britannica for bright boys and girls as for grown people, the Eublishers of the Britannica have prepared a delightful little ook full of pictures and interesting scraps of information, discovered by inquisitive boys and girls who knpw ihelr way round in the Britannica. This handsomely illustrated book is worth owning ond is yours for the asking. Some of the- chapters are: "A Game Worth While," "Who's Who at the Zoo," 4A Trip to the Art Museum with the Britannica Club," "The Nature Club Holds a Field Day," "How the Britannica Helped a Boy Find His Life Work."

For near a century and a half the Encyclopaedia Britannica has been consistently the product of the foremost scholars end men of science and writers of its time the master minds of each new generation. This is true in an especial degree of the new Eleventh Edition. From more than 200 of the universities, law schools, medical schools, museums and institutions of learning or research, in'Great Britain, America, France and Germany, it has gathered nearly 1,600 contributors, nearly every one ot whom has vcon distinction often the highest distinction inhis especial calling. No other work, in any language, has the same distinguished tradition as the Encyclopaedia Britannica. No other work has ever cost such enormous sums to produce. No other work represents so high a degree of authority in every branch of human knowledge. . It is incomparably the finest of the world's encyclopaedias, and yet it may he had in the new "Handy Volume" Issue, at a popular price, and for less than s actually asked for some of the most inferior reference works.
