It will reduce the chance of return because one will shop more ly and selectively. To shop early one will buy with en eye to yuality and permanence and not haphazardly. The benefits from less returned merchandise eventually will help the consumer. “ dulge in the privilege of giving s and at the same time put needless burdens on those who serve stores frustrates the very p.‘pmw of our actions.

Statistics showed. she said. that nearly $3.000.000 worth of goods were returned to the 13 leading stores in Washington aéter | the Christmas season of 1933. Gross Christmas sales in these stores had totaled about $30.000.000, the return being nearly 10 per cent.

Sippel, president of the General Federation, launched a Nation-wide ‘wis ing' program. The guide in deavor was Miss Ada Lillian Bu of the Bureau of Foreign and Do- mestic Commerce, who for seven years previous had been studying consumer economics. “The program Included merchan- dise production and selection, deliv- ery of merchandise, return of mer- chandise, credit on merchandise and constructive advertising. This pro- gram has been studied and launched by club women all over the United States. “Here in Washington. working with the members of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association, the club women a year ago launched a re- turn-goods program, limiting the time | during which an article could be returned and imposing certain other | restrictions. After a year's operation, the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association tells us that the reduc- tion of this ancient abuse has been ‘as high as 2.03 per cent in some departments.” A little has been ac- complished, therefore, but there is still much to be done “Salespeople themselves can co- operate by cutting down on the high pressure salesmanship. It happens too frequently that a high pressure clerk will sell a person the wrong size garment with the argument that it looks all right. Inevitably. it forces a return of the merchandise.” In closing her appeal for immediate holiday buying. Mrs. Wiley recited some “don‘ts” and “do's.” the former having been used in the first drive of the Consumers' League here. They follow “Don't shop after 5 o'clock. or on Saturday afternoons.” “Don’t leave Christmas until week before holiday.” “Do give your trades people hurry orders in the busy season.” And most important, do shop early and shop right.” shopping Mattresses ¢ Remade The Stein Bedding Co. 1004 Eye St. N.W.

C., December 8.— Automatic type-setting, directly from | copy received upon teletype machines | such as are used by the principal press assoclations, was demonstrated here today before & group of publishers and printing executives from widely separated points in the country. { ‘The demonstration was arranged by Curtis B. Johnson, publisher of the ' Charlotte Observer, who has spon- ! sored the invention of the semagraph, | a device which dispenses with the services of an operator in the func- tioning of a linotype machine, and allied inventions which make it pos- sible for newspaper copy to be repro- duced in type without manual labor. Three machines were shown. The basic device was the semagraph. A | plece of copy was placed on this ma- | chine under s photo-electric cell, cf | “electric eye"” and the linotype to/ which is was attached turned out the slugs of type as fast as the mechanism | of the typesetting machine would work. It was explained that a special code | of symbols was required for the sema- graph, each letter of the alphabet and | other characters being represented b» a symbol, and a special typewriter equipped to prepare copy with these | symbols was exhibited. The copy con- sisted of the regulation typewriting with the corresponding symbol under each letter. The third machine demonstrated was a transmitter for use upon the | wires of the press associations. Upon a receiving typewriter some distance | away, it reproduced copy sent over the wire to the semagraph, with the! necessary symbols, ready for use upon | the typesetting machine. Bulford L. | Green, for 25 years a linotyper and machinist for tie Observer, explained | that the copy received upon this ma- chine could be placed upon the lino- type and turned into type by the auto- | matic process. | Green said the semagraph could! operate at the rate of 400 six-letter words per minute. It is designed, he said, for setting straight news mat- ter, and its speed is limited only by | the inherent top speed of the iype- | setting machine. | The semagraph typewriter tu: out printed lines with each character in the line coded simultaneously. Itis, arranged so that each line of copy will fill a corresponding line of type, with provisions made for automatic justification of the lines. There is no tape used on the machine. The | printed words are for the guidance of the editor. Johnson, who has backed Green since he conceived the idea of auto- matic typesetting several years ago. | announced that arrangements were | | being made for manufacture of the | | equipment.
