Are you going \ to conquer your own lassitude and Imeet the real need Df the moment 01 * will you yield? It requires almost . is much self-con trol to force you rself to act when you long to do ) lothing as it does to keep yourself from action when whatever you do is likely to be ill judged, over-emotional, wrong. A clerk in a sto re annoys you by seeming more intt rested In discus sing with another half way down the counter the eve fits of last night's dance than in mil listerlng to your wants. You lose y our temper and berate the girl soundly. She waits on you sulkily. You si immon the aisle manager and expos tulate with htm. You are startled thf it he does not at once dismiss the clerk who annoyed you. Of course he doesn't, he sees what an excitable, uncontrollable person you are. He takes what you say with a grain of i salt. A few weeks ago I was standing at the neckwear couaiter when a woman came in wit h a collar she wished to exchange. ""I haven't the price tag or my checfk," she said quietly to the clerk,, "but I bought this collar here and find it is too short for the dress) with which I want to wear it. I 'would be very grateful for an excliamge." "Can't do it, madam, if you have no check," said tlve clerk almost curtly. ' "Haven't you the authority?" asked the woman quietly. "I don't want you to do anything that would get you into trouble —but perhaps the manager can oblilge me." "I told you we ccmldn't do one thing about it," iiaid the clerk sharply. "Won't you please, csill the man ager," asked the wiomari—still good natured, still In absolute control of herself. Five minutes latur, after repeated requests, the clerk -went 111-natured ly enough to summoci the depart ment manager. He started gruffly to assure the woman who wanted the exchange that nothing* could be done about it. And she* still remained amiable. "I got this coll.'fr here and I haven't worn It. "i'bu can see it's quite fresh, and there's another just like it there in the iihow case. I'm so anxious to have lyou change it. Don't you think you fcould stretch a point?" By this time I was heartily on the side of the amiable woman who so persistently, yet <iuieftly, struggled for what she wanted. And that quiet peristence wtin. The floor manager began to be impressed by the complete good-nature of the cus tomer. After all. good merchants know that some rules are made to be broken. And the. manager broke his rule, adding as 'he did, "You're so nice about it, madam, that I don't see how I can!.refuse you." Self-control really/ is a paying in stitution. Every time you "go up in the air" you pint just so much added strain on the;machinery, and almost invariably it! is to no pur pose. Try a little self-control, a little discipline of your own war ring and wavering emotions. You will probably get very good re sults. r 1 Civic Club's Second Fly-Swatting Campaign Closes Sept. 29 Resorts atlAktic city, n.

The President's action in estab lishing prices on anthractite for oper ators and Jobbers and limiting the profits to be made by bituminous wholesalers is considered the most important step yet taken toward bringing the industry under govern ment supervision. The new anthra cite prices, effective September 1, vary but slightly from the rates now charged at the mines under a vol untary agreement made with the Kcderal Trade Commission by oper ators. Retail costs probably will drop as a result of the drastic restrictions placed on Jobbers' profits.

The prices that may be charged by jobbers, however, will reduce pres ent costs sharply. Bituminous Job bers' profits, too. will be cut by the new price Bcale set for wholesale transactions.

Those who Incur the expense of rescreening it at Atlantic or lake ports may add an additional 5 cents a ton. Anthracite Jobbers delivering coal at Buffalo and points east of that city will be allowed a maximum profit of 20 cents a ton of 2240 pounds, ant? those delivering it west of BufTalo may charge an excess of 30 cents. The combined gross profits of any number of Jobbers handling a ship ment must not exceed the limit of profit set for a single Jobber, except that a screening charge of 6 cents may be made on water shipments at Atlantic or lake ports. I.lcenne Sjtrm Another Step Bituminous profits for Jobbers are fixed at 15 cents a ton of 2000 pounds and the same restrictions that gov ern dealings by a number of anthra cite jobbers apply to bituminous transactions. The President's order forbids rail road-owned mines from selling to other mines and prohibits dealers frcm selling; coal produced by rall rcad-owned mines on a basis of prices fixed for other mines. The bituminous Jobbers' prices be come effective immediately, as did bi tuminous mine prices announced last night. The coal administration will be or ganized as soon as Dr. Garfield has completed his work of recommending to the food administration a Govern ment price for t,he 1917 wheat crop. Dr. Garfield's price-fixing committee, it was said to-day, would be ready to announce a price within a few days. May License Dealer* Dr. G?.rfleld announced that he would institute a licensing system for all coal dealings from the mine to the retailer, and that. If prices were fixed for retailers, the licensing would be extended to cover retail dealings. Under the law giving the President control of fuels, the Government can take over and operate any mines failing to observe regulations pre- AUGUST .24, 1917. scribed. A corporation similar to the Wheat Corporation of the food ad ministration was suggested to-night as a possibility to prepare the Gov ernment to handle the situation It the price-fixing plan does not work out satisfactorily. The last resort under the law is Government requisi tioning of the output of all mines and the sale of it to the public. The or ganization of an operating and pur chasing corporation wo.uld provide all the machinery necessary to put the commandeering provision of the law into operation. Retail Price Tangled Problem Fixing of retail prices presents a tangled problem. Handling costs are not the same in any two cities, and a Hat gross margin that will assure equitable profits will be hard to fix. On the other hand, a percentage profit plan would present even more difficulties because of trouble In keep ing track of bookkeeping methods.
