He said there were three classes of sales people, the “order taker order shakers” and ‘order mak- | ers. In this connection, he slated, will ceae to get it, when you want it, and know how to use it when you have it.” He mentioned the “indifferent | workers” or the “what's the use” brigade, and the “doers” whom he | divided into four groups. The lecgurer said that if a per- son is s0i¥ an article he has made up his mied to buy before he sces the sales person, it is not a case of salesmanship. He declared the case was reversed if a person comes In to buy a shirt and is sold more than he contemplated buying. He told of his own experience in this respect, What kind of people come into a store? Mr. Raymond said that there was the *looker” Kkind, one who walke right in and walks right out and doesn't comz back again; the “purchaser” kind, the person who buys once and then again at a distant time, and the “customer' kind, the name itself, providing the answer. He devoted much time on the topic of “thrift.” He repeated again last night what he wished to emphasize strongly during his pre- vious talks and that was “that some of us think that money is every- thing. What 1T want to bring out in these three talks,” he declared, “is that the value of thrift is the ing of time, words and effort."” He advocated saving health, good | and other things will come to you | and bring satisfaction.” He said that no warmth exists it an apart- ment is steam-heated and not heart-heated. Several times Mr. Raymond ges- ticulated, raised his arms and said | above his ordinary tone of voice, “If you use what you have to get what you want, you'll have it.” He spoke of enthusiasm in business, of interest, determination and of a will to do the things we set out to do because we want to do them. He advised people to wake up and to keep their eyes open to possibili- ties of improving themselves hy improving their business. “Inertia,” he stated, “is a bigger obstacle than ill health.

Worker, assistant presi- dent of the Amer n Engineering Company, today told the Association of Iron and Steel Electrical Engine- ers. ‘Only a few years hence,” said Mr. Worker, in addressing the conven- tion, “we will regard coal as a raw materiw or ‘ore’ from which to manufacture benzol and oils, chemi- cals for fertilizers, gas and solid fuel.

The rest of the country, however, has gone ahead, eating roast beef, sipping Ms tea and paying very lit- tle attention to the action of Secre- tary of State Kellogg in informing the American consul general here that the gat of the United States closed against Saklatva It 1s this section of the popula that long has held strongly to the opinion that the mouthings of the *“Reds’ are not Mkely to knock the keystone of the British Empire out of place and send it to the scrap heap. The incident of the barring of saklatvala is not being mentioned at “hot air'" corner in Hyde Park, where agitators and anti-agitators every evening blow off their oratori- cal steam to their heart's content much to the amusement of the strolling multitudes and scarcely ever hampered by th e”Bobbijes."

New York, Sept. 19 (P—Torty | i@ miles from Broadway, where New Yorkers delve into underground pas- sages called subways in order to get comewhere, a group of students from Cambridge are prowling about the caverns of the earth to ‘“get some-} where” in the mining industry. Few New Yorkers know that al-| most in one of their suburbs lies a | great magnetic iron ore belt and a mining field almost as old as the na- tion that has been chosen by Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy as a training ground for the men who are learning to be mining en- gincers. Yet almost in the shadow of the glaring lights on Broadway these students gather each year in the New Jérsey highlands to work their prob- lems while they sniff the sweetish odor of burned powder and wet earth. The technology camp is about three miles west of Dover, N. J., on Mine Hill, that looks out over the Succasunna plains and Lake Hopat- cong. The ore field was discovered in 1640, only a few years after the founding of New York, and Jersey ore subsequently played an impor- . tant part in the S e biine Black and White count KLGfldI'ZS) It was in great demand during the | Imported Sumatra Wrapped revolution.

The operators reject this system, Mr, Inglis sald, hecause it would re- tart “the freedom of choice of the individual worker.” The check-off, he said, would makethe United Mine Workers “a separate and distinct governing agency controlling those who have refused to join its ranks and con- sent of its government.” the But few fleas are a ble to jump more than 12 inches, ASK DR, WILSONTO BACK UP CHARGES To Have Opportunity to Support Dry Criticism New York Sept, 19 (®—Dr. Clar. ence True Wilson, general secretary of the board of temperance, prohibi- tion and public morals of the meth- odist church, has been invited to present facts to back up his criticism of the prohibition report of the Fed- eral Council of Churches, Answering Dr. Wilson's denunci- ation of the report as something for which the wets might have pald, Dr. John A. Marquis, chairman of the administrative committee of the council, sald that the report was purely a research document prepar- ed by skilled ‘investigators. The council has always been, and is now, committed to prohibition, Dr. Marquis declares in a ofrmal state- ment published today. The commit- tee belleves, he says, that presenta- tion of the facts will awaken friends of prohibition to the necessity of more rigld government enforcement. “The department, secking only the facts,” Dr. Marquis said. “has no pride of position to maintain. If it has heen mistaken in any of ifs statements of fact, it will welcome S e e e correction in the same spirit which it has made the study." Dr. Marquis denied Dr. Wilson's assertion that the report was un- authorized, It was prepared by the rescarch and educational department of the council through the admine istrative committee which, Dr. Mar- quis sald, works along different lines than the exccutive committee of which Dr. Wilson Is a member, The rosearch department has reported on other problems herctofore. The statement explained that the Rev. 1" Ernest Johnson, by whom (he re- port was copyrighted, and of whom Dr. Wilson sald he never heard until last Wenesday, had heen hend of the research department since 1918, The Rev. Clara ¢, Helvie of Mo- line, Tll., said that the report was discussed last month hy confers, ence of leaders in religion, educas, tion and economics at Olivet, Mich, Mrs. Helvie said that Dr. Wilsoh was mistaken in questioning the an- thenticity and authority of the re- port. The document is heing issued for publication from Washingfon In six installments, 1t emphasized that statistics on the fncrease of crime since prohibition mean little and that it was as yet too early fo Judge whether the 18th amendment had proved a success, Dr. Wilson denied that prohibition was facing a su- preme fest or that there was doubt as to the final outcome.
