RR Selah nom enc Re BR ante PAGE SIX SCIENCE AS APPLIED TO BUSINESS, TOPIC AT KIWANIS LUNCH Dr. J. V. Breitwieser Promises Inescapable Marriage Pro- posal at Dinner Tonight The application of science to hu- man conduct—therefore to business | | principally—said Dr. Joseph V. Breit- | 1 is club | luncheon at noon, has progressed to} wieser in a talk to the Kiwar wnat stage where psychologists have determined a formula for marriage proposal which the lady to whom it is addressed positively cannot refuse. He will announce the formula at the dinner of the credit assoc.ation this evening at the Grand Pacific. Sey- eral members of the club immediately made arrangements to get tickets to the dinner. They be married. Dr. Breitwieser was not humorous except in spots, but he spoke with a rapid flow of earnestness that held the bated attention of the diners, His revelations of the extent to which psychology has entered into the prac- tices of salesmanship were so novel as to be gripping—doubly so as the Kiwanis club is made up largely of business men. Began With Insurance Dr. Breitwieser said science was ap- plied perhaps earlier to life insurance than to other business. It was ap- plied there in the form of mathema- tics and mortality tables, The time has come, however, when it must be applied to buying as well as to selling, he said. This will be due to the high pressure methods used as in advertising. The buyer will have to be educated in, and taught the psychology of buying. ‘The whole basis of both processes. he said, rests on the human element. Humans after all are a_ biological entity just as responsive psychol- ogically to stimulate influence as are chemical elements to the laws of chemical relations. For that reason it is necessary to have luncheon serv- ice clubs whose purpose shall be to keep the community stimuli going in the right direction, so that thus, by cooperation more people may be made happier for a greater length of time than otherwise. Talks of Uniyersity Program The doctor cited some of the re- actions developed in a variety of scll- ing methods. It is not wise to offer a choice of two articles to a prospec- tive buyer, he said. The mind of the buyer tends to become balanced be- tween the two, like the philosopher's | ; donkey, which starved to death be- tween two even piles of hay, placed equally distant.on opposite sides of the animal's head, so that he could not make up his mind which to cat. Never offer a buyer the choice of two houses, or coats or anything, he said. Use an odd number. The mind thus will avoid ‘this balanced condition in which choice is impossible. Dr. Breitwieser also devoted a part |}, of his talk to what the university is doing. He ‘s dean of the educational division. One of the new features of its work is the training of teachers to teach the deaf. North Dakota has no native teachers in this line so far and such as are necded, cs at Devils Lake, have to b2 brought in. Attendance Falling Short Arthur B. Sorenson won the at- tendance prize. This brought up the record of nine wecks in the district attendance contest. There is another week for this to run, and so far the percentages of the local club have been 88.6, 81, 86.8, 89, 94.7, 92.5, 91, 85 and 83.5. T. F. Kinman, of Fargo, district sales manager of the Chevrolet Mo- tor Sales company, was a guest; also J. H. Kling, manager of the Bis- marck-Mandan Credit association, who was present with Dr. Breitwieser as an associate guest. Fred Janzonius presided as chair- man of the day. President Worth Lumry announced that ‘he and Secretary Jess Melton would be absent next week at a dis- trict meeting. ROTARY CONFERENCE IS CLOSED AT MINOT Hanford Cox, Cloquet, Minn., to Be Boosted for Inter- national Director Minot, N. D., April 16.—(4)—The ninth district Rotary conference was brought to a close here early this afternoon following the introduction of the newly nominated district gov- ernor, Roy Bridgeman of Grand Forks. Formal election of Mr. Bridgeman will take place at the convention of Rotary International at Dallas, Texas, next month.

Therefore there is no single plan inciple can be gener applied. Some of the forces ing to the detriment rulture can be greatly mitigated by improving our waterway trans- t them by readjustment of the tariff, some by better under- tment of production needs, and sume by improvement in arketing. tariff upon agricultural products, that will compensate the s higher costs and higher standards of jiving, has a dual purpose. tariff not only protects the farmer in our domestic market but it also stimulates him to diversify his crops aud to grow products that he could not otherwise produce, and thus lessens his dependence upon exports to foreign markets easingly serious. It seems but natural, therefore, that the American f: having been greatly handicapped in his foreign’ mar- ket by such competition from the younger expanding countries, should ask that foreign market should be regulated by taking into account costs of production. date From Election The government has a special mandate from the recent election, not only to further develop our waterways and revise the agricultural tariff, but also to extend systematic relief in other directions. 1 have long held that the iultiplicity of causes of agricultural depression |could only be met by the creation of a great instrumentality clothed: with | sufficient authority and resources to assist our farmers to meet these prob- | ach upon its own inérits. The creation of such an agency would at once fer the agricultural question from the field of politics into the realm of economics and would result in constructive action. The administra- tion is pledged to create an instrumentality that will investigate the causes, find ope remedies, and have the authority and resources to apply those remedies. The pledged purpose of such a federal farm board is the reorganization of the marketing system on sounder and more stable and more economic lines. To do this the board will require funds to assist in creating and sus- taining farmer-owned and farmer-controlled agencies for a variety of pur- poses, such as the acquisition of adequate warehousing and other facilities for marketing; adequate working capital to be advanced against commodities lodged for storage; necessary and prudent advances to corporations created and owned by farmers’ marketing organizations for the purchase and or- derly marketing of surpluses occasioned by climatic variations or by harvest congestion; to authorize the creation and support of clearing houses, espe- cially for perishable products, through which, under producers’ approval, tion can be established with distributors and processors to more marketing of commodities and for the elimination of mgny wastes in distribution; and to provide for licensing of handlers of some/ perishable products so as to eliminate unfair practices, Every penny of waste between ‘armer and consumer that we can eliminate will be a gain to both farmer and consumer. number of | Probe Field of Economie Betterment The board should be organized to investigate every field of economic bet- terment for the farmer so as to furnish guidance as to need in production, to devise methods for elimination of unprofitable marginal lands and their adaptation to other uses, to develop industrial by-products, and to survey a@ score of other fields of helpfulness. Certain safeguards must naturally surround these activities. Certain vital principles must be adhered to in order that we may not undermine the freedom of our farmers and of our people as_a whole by bureaucratic and governmental domination and interference. We must not undermine initiath There should be no fee or tax. nposea. upon the farmer. No gov- ernmental agency should engage in the buying and selling and price-fixing of products, for such courses can lead only to bureaucracy and domination. Government funds should services or credit and fact! e other D active t be loaned or facilities duplicated w les are available at reasonable rates. } ities should be set in motion that will result in increasing the surplus pro- duction, as such will defeat any plans of relief. The mos gressive movement in all agriculture has been the upbuild- ing of the farmers’ own marketing organizations, which now embrace nearly ty ion farmers in membership and annually distribute nearly r 500,000,000 worth of farm products, These organizations furnish a sub- stantial basis upon which to build further organization. In order to strengthen and not to undermine them, all proposals for governmental assistance shi riginate with such organizations and be the result of their applica reover, by such bases of organization the government will be removed n engaging in the business of agriculture. Constructive Action for Future Assured The difficulties of agriculture can not be cured in a day; they can not all be cured by legisla n not be cured by the federal govern- ment alone. But farmers their organizations can be assisted to over- come these inequalities. Every and we shajl find from our experience the way must make a, start, With the creation of a ‘great instrumentality character, of ‘a strength and importance equal to that of those ed for transportation and banking, we give immediate jetermined purpose of the government t through which constructive action for the future will b i In this treatment of this problem we recognize the responsibility of the people as a whole, and we shall lay the foundations for a new day in agricul- hich we shall preserve to the nation t nd strengthen our whole national fabr considering the tariff for other industries tha re have heen cconomic shifts necessitati Great Values of its sriculture, we find e demonstrated the wisdom of congress in the enactment of that On the whole tt has rked well. In the mi our wages have intained at high level pur exports and imp: steadily ased: with some exceptions our manufacturing indo ve been prosperous. Nevertheless, economic changes have taken place which have placed certain domestic products at a disadvantage and new industries have come into being, all of which creates the necessity for some limited changes in the schedules and in the administrative clauses of the laws as written in 1922. Must Remedy Employment Loss Due to Shifts It would seem to me that the test of necessity for revision is, in the main, whether there has been a substantial slackening of activity in an industry during the past few years, and a consequent decrease of employ ment due to insurmountable competition in the products of that industry. It is not as if we were setting up a new basis of protective duties. We did that seven years ago. What we need to remedy now is whatever substantial loss of employment may have resulted from shifts since that time. No discrimination against any foreign industry is involved in equalizin; the difference in costs of production at home and abroad. Indeed, such equalization is not only a measure of social justice at home, but by the lift it gives to our standards of living we increase the demand for those goods from abroad that we do not ourselves produce. The cheapening of the toiler decreases rather than promotes permanent prosperity because it reduces the consuming power of the people. We must not fail to take into account the broad interests of the country as a whole, and such interests include our trade relations with other countries. It is obviously unwise protection which sacrifices a greater amount of employment in exports to gain a less amount of employment from imports. Flexible Tariff Principle Is Practical I am impressed with the fact that we also need important revision in some of the administrative phases of the tariff. The tariff commission should be reorganized and placed upon a basis of higher salaries in order that we may at all times command men of the broadest attainments. Seven years of experience have proved the principle of flexible tariff to be prac- tical, and in the long view a most important principle to maintain. How- ever, the basis upon which the tariff commission makes its recommenda- tions to the prenieant for administrative chanmes in the rates of duty should be made more automatic and more comprehensive, to the end that the time required for determinations by the tariff commission shall be prently. shortened. The commission’s very purpose is defeated by delays. belleve a formula can be found that will insure rapid and accurate de- termination of needed changes in rates. Furthermore, considerable weaknesses on the administrative side of the tariff have developed, especially in the valuations for assessments of duty. ; There are cases of undervaluation that are difficult to discover without access to the books of foreign manufacturers, which they are reluctant to offer. This has become also a great source of friction abroad.-There is in- creasing shipment of goods on consignment, particularly by foreign shippers. Need Sounder Basis for Valunt ctice makes valuations difficult to determine. I believe it is desirable to the treasury a sounder basis for valuation in these and es. : It is my understanding that it is the purpose of the leaders of congress to confine the deliberations of the gession mainly to the questions of farm relief and tariff. ua this policy I concur. There are, however, certain matters of emergency legislation that were partially completed in the last session, such as the decennial census, the reapportionment of congressional rep: tion, and t suspension of the national origins clause of the im- 101 , together with some minor administrative authoriza- . 1 understand that these measures can be reundertaken without unduly extending, ie. session.

This testimony, before Charles Evans Hughes, special master in chancery for the court, was intended to sustain previous contentions by the states—Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York—that the program can be executed within five or six years. Engineers of the sanitary district of Chicago have proposed virtually the same sanitary works, but they declare it would require 12 to 16 years for completion. Mr. Hughes is expected to com- plete the hearing of evidence, on which he will base recommendations to the court, within a week or 10 days. On his findings the court will base an order providing for cessation of diversion of the waters of Lake Michigan by the sanitary district and the state of Illinois. Newton D. Baker, former war sec- retary, today joined the counsel for the complainant states, which brought the suit to the supreme court, seeking an injunction to restrain lake diversion at Chicago. Attorney Gen- eral Ward and Assistant Attorney General Albert J. Danaher of New York, also were here to assist today in the presentation of evidence by the states. NEW METAL ALLOY AIDS BRASS MAKING Will Revolutionize Practice of Manufacture in 3,000 Foun- dries in United States Minneapolis, April 16.—(/)—Discov- ery of a new metal alloy capable of withstanding working temperatures in excess of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit was announced today to the conven- tion of the Midwest Gas association by Major Alexander Forward, New York. Outlining the story of the new alloy, Major Forward said its development has supplanted the relatively fragile and crumbling crucible and refractory lined furnace in the brass industry with a gas fire retort of apparently indefinite life. The new alloy, Major Forward said, was developed by the American Gas association and a commercial organ- ization. Major Forward is managing director of the association. “While crucibles have a life of from 15 to 20 heats,” Major Forward told the convention, “the first retort made from this new alloy has already served for more than 250 heats and is none the worse for wear. It bids fair to revolutionize practice in more than 3,000 foundries in the United States and Canada where bress is melted.” He cited other advantages of the new alloy as low fuel consumption, considerable labor saving and faster heat transfer, which reduces melting time. About 500 officials from gas and electric companies in Minnesota, Illi- nois, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Montana and the Dakotas are attending the convention which closes tomorrow. Chevrolet Selling Conference in Lions Den This Afternoon The Chevrolet district sales forces are holding a salesmanship confer- ence in the Lions den under the Grand Pacific, this afternoon.

He expressed his - disapproval of “repeated attempts of certain states- men to minimize the importance of the Kellogg pact renouncing ie and said he even feazed that tempts to minimize the pact were made with a view to creating exten- uating circumstances for possible in- fringements or to weaken its impor- tance as a starting point for a de- mand for disarmament.

During this morning's session, Dr. Schacht went over the annuities anti the total amount proposed by the al- lied creditor powers in order to sup- port his contention that they were ° beyond Germany's capacity. He then was asked what he would Suggest as being within his country's capacity to pay. The president of the Reichsbank said that he would trans- mit to the Allies what he termed “suggestions” tomorrow afternoon. This was said to be a memorandum of two typewritten pages setting forth his estimate of Germany's maximum figure and a complete table of an- nuities. Thus began the period of real bar- gaining which will probably result in more or less whittling down of the Proposed annuities. As the discus- sion went on, the atmosphere around the lobbies of the hotel George V was more optimistic. There was a general feeling in expert circles that. some ae of an agreement was now cer- There was also less expectation in German circles as to the failure of the conference in view of the fact that unless the experts ‘reach an agreement the Allies will certainly fall back on the Dawes plan which requires greater effort from the Reich than any new arrangement likely to MEXICAN TORTURER OF BABY HPTURE Victer Montour, 23-year-old Mexican who tortured his two-year-old white stepdaughter to death, at Wheatland, ‘Wyoming, April 6, was captured here Arthur Kentfield.
