following lemarks on the outlook and
appeal for Liberty Bonds:
'There Is not a cloud In the sky finan
clalwlse. Thcro 1 not a weak link In
our economic chain. We have reached
the point where we can begin definitely
to discount a victorious conclusion of
the war in favor of the Allies. The stock
market, as we have frequently pointed
out, has been doing this discounting,
more or .less, right along.
"A great patriotic ware still at flood-
tide will sweep the great loan across
F COUnSK. I told Kiancls alt about
J the rumpus nt Heltman's Inst Satur
day as soon as I got to our new rooms.
We moved to Seventy-ninth street on
Saturday night rot a dandy place. We
room with an old couple who have a
swell little apartment. Mrs. Semper gets
us f.onio breakfast, but the rest of our
meals we get out Just where vvc happen'
to be.
Mr. and Mi's. Semper are a dear old
counle and w think wn are- fnrtnnali
,K'. 'to he with them. Mr. Semper used to
I be a doctor, had one of thoso Joints
where the swell guys go to when their
health goes 011 the blink. Finally his
own health went ker-bust. so Instead of
taking his own treatment he sold out
and retired.
He would have kept on, but Mrs. Sem
per wouldn't let him He's a big fel
low, got as much hair as a duck's egg
and he shines all over that Is, as much
of him as shows like he'd been scouted
and lacquered. Mrs. Semper Is one of
those little bits of women who have to
be careful when taking a bath that they
don't slip down the waste pipe and yet
sire makes that big, rosy old doctor
do Just as she wants.
Francis f.ivs It's another case of "mind
over matter."
As I was saying, after we got set
tled in our new quarters. I said to
Francis:
"Well, old man, I guess I've put that
Saturday Job with Beltman on the
blink."
He htopned short In his task of nut
ting his shirts Iii the drawer and asked:
What do you mean. Peter? What
have you been up to? I do hope you've
not done anything rash .' Tell me about
It." He looked anxious.
It's like this," 1 began gloomily, sit
ting on Francis's bed. "We were all hus
tling to beat the band, for you know
that every Saturday Beltman's store Is
crowded, I was serving two and some
times three customers nt a time we were
so rushed. Tho main job Is to see how
eiulcMy we can get 'cm served.
"We don't have- any slips to make out
on each side. Old Beltman says bed
sooner lose a dollar or so through er
rors than lose more dollars by keeping
customers waiting while we make out
sales slips. "Vou see, Francis, most of
oijr sales are small, less than 25 cents.
VV ell. that nenhew of his. Marks
