Springfield, Mass., Feb. 10.—The question of simplicity of dréss ameng girl students of the Classical High school, much discussed recently, came 10 a head yesterday, when, by a vote of nearly three to ome, the giris favored a uniform school costume, con ing of white middy blouses and dark skirts. The vote followed a recent meeting of several bundreds mothers calied by | Principal W. C. Hil, in which the sub- ject was discussed without decisfon. While the students will be largely gov- erned by the vote, it has been pointed out by the school authorities that adeption of the school costume is mot compulsory. Yesterday's vole was | 300 to 128. The West Springfield School board in its recent annual report n:commend-! ed adoption of a simple uniform cos-j tume for girl students, but no action | has yet been taken. { HAPPY, ‘I‘H()thl \IARRIEI}‘ | His Honecymoon Trip.

I, Henderson, business counsellor at laSalle ¥ tension University in Chicago, who spoke at the meeting of the Rotary club at the Elks' club this noon. On starting the discussion of his topic, “The salesmanship that wins taday,”” Mr. Henderson said that the majority of things done in business len years ago are taboo today, while @ great many things that are done to- day would not have been permissble in those days. Quoting Mr. Henderson in part: “The average salesman today ac- | is conceited and in my opinion has a right to be, but the best salesman | is the one who is known to be green to many of his friends. A green man is llke a child. he grows. The sales- | man who is right and of the kind that can neéver be told anything is as good as worthiess. A man in the final analysis is Hke a tack and will go as his head will let him. His Conception of Salesmanship “My conception of salesmanship leads to the conclusion of four im- portant factors. There are (1) the salesman, (2) customer, (3) goods and (4) sale. The strong arm method of doing business has no place in the business world of today. The really good salesman is the fellow who has the power of making the other fellow see his position. This is the big thing to salesmanship and nothing else. The | man is the biggest factor in salesman- ship for without him a sale cannot be made Drawbacks to Trade. “Like all other trades, there is a drawback to the game of salesman- ship There are some men who do not see the need of becoming ac- quainted with up to date measures. There are other negatives which are hard for the ordinary salesman to overcome, the greatest of which is laziness. Go imto any hotel in the | larger cities amd you vwill see many men loafing about in the lobbies. Ask them their trade and they will say ‘I am a salesman.’ Ask him why he is loafing and he will say that he doesn’t know. Another big drawback for the which T consid- horrible thing to be afflicted with. Many a man has made a fail- ure of life because of this One of the greatest essentials in the business is a keen sense of initiative. Do not follow the steps of your predecessor but go ahead and bring in new trade, work up a new Deat and best of all have original ideas. One Can Do Much. “Oftentimes one lone salesman might disorganize an entire sales force due to his inefficiency, negli- gence. and lack of morale. It is known that the morale of the Amer- ican army won the late war. Morale as applied to the war heroes consist- ed of three things: dence and satisfaction. Without them you can do nothing. If a salesman is interested in his work, knows his goods and is satisfied with his po- Interest, confi- sition there is nothing to hinder him | from being succesful. Character Analysis. Another great feature is character analysis which is solely responsible for the success of many men. Know yourself, the other fellow, more often | i called the customer, and the " He Can’t Tell (or Mind Is Blank Since | H goods vou are selling.” Mr. Henderson to Return. At the conclusion of his talk, Mr. | Henderson was asked if he would re- turn at a later date to deliver an- other speech, and he said he would.

TWO PLATOON DOOMED? New System for Fire Department Be- Rilled By Viewing still will licved to Have Been * Finance Sub-Committee. Although members of the “Slash- ing” committee of the board of fi- {nance and taxation have maintained { a strict silence concerning the items cut from department estimates, state- ments made today from an authentic source would indicate that amons other things, the two-platoon system | for the fire department met its doom at the hands of the special commit- tee. Discussing the cuts, a member of the board said this afternoon that the salary list has not been altered to any great extent. Since the adop- tion of the proposed two-platoon s tem would entail the promotion of several lieutenants to captaincies and { the hiring of more than 40 additional firemen, thereby adding thousands of i.]ullznrs to the salary liet, it is evident | that the system cannot be recommen- | ! ed to the special city meeting with a salary list that has not been altered Pure «lard lfin Advt, reported to 1 to open | { He bravely laid down his life for | officers today former owner of | 100,000 gallons of whiskey the | anatehal Chamber of Commerce, | Independence Day, | will be observed BRUARY 10, 192;.
