NEW YORK, March 28. — The weary salesgirl: neatly folded an- other Easter handkerchief and looked up with a tired smile. “My idea of the perfect custo- mer?” she responded. “Now you are asking something.” “She doesn't push and shove.She takes her turn being waited on. She doesn’t muss up everything on the counter. She doesn't complain in a whiney voice to the floor walker when she returns merchandise and has to wait a few seconds for an OXK. on the return. And she never shouts at the salesgirl under any circumstances. “That's my ideal customer. And she’s a big order. “I get a laugh out of these women who rush up to the counter scream- ing to be waited on,” she contin- ued. “They never buy anything much, you know. They just like to act important. Reduced Price Fiends “And these reduced price fiends. If something isn't reduced they aren’t interested. If it is they'll buy—even if it's the worst kind of Junk.” Every salesgirl faces the same problem: how to deal with all types of customers without rub- bring any of them the wrong way. And every customer is confronted with a similar enigma: how to get what she wants with the least trou- ble all around. The customer who is over-bear- ing who makes all kinds of unnecessary demands on the sales- girls' time and energy—immediate- ly brands herself not only as incon- | siderate but ill-bred as well. Makes Up Her Mind The “ideal” customer makes up her mind, at least partially, about what she’s going to buy. When the salesgirl asks her, “May I help you?” she can answer, “Yes, I'm lJooking for a purse. I want it to carry with a dark brown tweed suit. And 1 want something that is large enough to hold lots of things. What thave you for about five dollars? | If she doesn’t have any definite ideas and wants to look around she tells the salesgirl she's “just looking, thanks.” Then it's the salesgirl’s turn to be considerate. None of those with- ering looks. Because if the custo- mer really wanted to be unpleasant she could keep quiet, let the girl go through her selling paces and then turn away with a “Thank you, but I was just waiting for a friend.” It has been done. - — DRUM AND BUGLE COKPS | MEETING 1S POSTPONED The regular meeting of the Am- erican Legion Drum and Bugle Corps will be postponed from Tues- day night of this week uniil the following Tuesday, according to an- nouncement made today by Byron Miller, director. The cancellation of the meeting tomorrow night is due to the school holiday and the ab- sence from town of several members of the Drum and Bugle Corps. ,—— ANCHORAGE TRANSFER MAN RETURNING HOME Mr. and Mrs. P.

STEEL FAMINE ' STRIKES JAPAN | TOKYO, Mar. 29.—Because of the policy the Tokyo government has been pursuing recently of endeavor- ing to protect the Japanese pig {iron and steel industries and to stimulate their growth, the empire faces a serious shortage of stecl and the capital city is crying for more of this metal so vital to the construction of modern buildings. Not until the steel famine was jactually upon the natior dJdid the government decide to pull cown the legal barriers which were keeping badly needed steel supplies out of |the country. It has been announced the tariff on pig iron will be suspended en- tirely for a period of two years, and the importation of finished steel will be encouraged, although the government still prefers to pur- chase pig iron abroad and fabri- cate the steel in Japanese mills. | The excessive demands made by the army and navy for their .re- plenishment programs are given as one factor contributing to the steel shortage. Failure of the Soviet government_to continue its expor- tation of pig iron, amounting to about 400,000 tons annually, since the conclusion of the German- Japanese agreement against the comintern, is seriously aggrevating the already existing shortage.

One adverse influence, however, is strong and seems to be an omen of dis- sension and conflict. In the early hours Neptune is in a place most promising to the Unit- ed States Navy which is to attract world attention in a time of test. ‘Women should use all their best energies under this rule of the stars presaging public responsibilities which will be carried with splendid efficiency. This is an auspicious configu- ration for weddings. Many sudden marriages will be recorded in the next half year when the young men of the nation are to be called into government service.
