This is a ten room house. Some
times when there are number of chill
dren in growing family house of
ten rooms becomes necessity.
Ideas in regard to the size Of houses
have changed very much in the last
ten years. People are not now build
ing larger than they need, not so much
because the expense of building has
somewhat increased, but the principal
reason is that help cannot be secured
to do the necessary housework. A
great many women have killed them
selves trying to keep large house
looking nice enough to satisfy their
women friends, but women are learn
ing wisdom and are becoming content
vide just room enough for their fam
lilies and one or two occasional guests.
Sometimes families need house with
four or five bedrooms, then plan
like this seems to fit in just right.
Looking at the perspective 1t will
be noticed that this house tones up
with the best of them. 1t is the kind
Of building that satisfies a persons
pride and every one should have
pride enough to appreciate a good
home and feel satisfied with it.
The mere fact of having large
house won't satisfy anybody. There
must be more to a home than the
building, but family of from six to
ten persons should be able to estab.
lish a very satisfactory home in
house like this.
The building is thirty feet in width
by thirty-seven feet six inches in
length and the porch is extra, a size
sufficient to lay out nicely into large
pleasant rooms, with convenient hall
ways, stairways, etc. 1t is impossible
to get nine or ten good and sufficient
rooms in house much smaller If
you try it you will surely spoil some
thing.
For great many years architects
have been trying to arrange salts

Too Much Talking to Talk.

In my opinion the most important
thing In working up an export trade
through advertising, whether 1t is
trade paper, daily paper or catalogue
advertising, is to know how to tell
your story-to bring out the points of
individuality. novelty, difference or
improvement that distinguish your
goods.
And 1t is precisely In this direction
that many a manufacturer and many
an advertising agency fails. l should
be afraid to tell of the number of
catalogues that l have seen, to say
nothing of advertisements and of let.
ters designed to provoke orders, that
did not include the very points which
the salesman representing these goods
relies on most when he is talking face
to face with a prospective customer.
1t seems to me that the strongest
selling points ought to be incorporated
IN every pit of advertising copy as
we'll as In other literature and in cor
respondence-B. Olney Hough, editor
American Exporter, to Detroit Adcraft
Club.

work along lines of least resistance

work along lines of least resistance
with the largest possible number.
Next, we come to the factor in the
sale known as the goods, or the thing
being sold. This factor involves three
lines Of study, first, how to get at all
the facts Of 1t through analysis; sec
ond, how to build up, or construct
facts in the most logical order; and
third, how to express in the most ef-
to its selling points. Herein especially
does the successful advertising sales
man excel All this is necessary that
the customer may be led to see and
know that the representations made
are true. In this way the seller gains
new ideas about the goods-gets new
views and features-in the same way
that one discovers objects under
magnifying glass which otherwise re-
main hidden. There are many points
that can be made about any article
Of commerce, and to know only part
of these points is to be only partially
posted on what to say when interview
ing the customer, and you see, then,
that the customers conception of the
goods or proposition, the advantages
to be derived by him, and so on, comes
very largely through the sellers pre-
sentation to him. If the seller has
hazy, fuzzy, blurred and indistinct pic
ture in his own mind, the customer
will get the same kind of picture,
and very often will not buy. Much
valuable business is lost by people
who do not know how to analyze
things for selling points. how to con-
struct points. nor how to properly ex-
press the facts he has in words.
Indeed. the true business builder Is
fast becoming professional" and Is
coming to understand that as the pro-
fessional class has in the past, and
must in the future, lead in the activi-
ties of mankind he must see to 1t that
leadership in society, while con-
tnuing to be professional" shall be

Effect Of Promotion.

Gen. Dabney H. Maury of the Con-
federate army used to tell a story
about his faithful negro boy, Jim, the
son OF his old nanny, whom he took
with him to the war. The general was
not large man. except in the traits
which make great men and great SOL
diers.
After the Battle Of Corinth, where
he was promoted to the rank of ma
jor general on the battlefield. he came
into his tent and called his servant.
"Jim," he said, when you make up
my cot, tuck those blankets well in at
the foot. My feet stick out all night"
Looking up at him with an amused
look, Jim said. "Marse Dabney, you
amt growed none, Is you, since you
got promoted Yesterday" - Lippin.

M~ILTONIANS VICTORIOUS

The last inter-society contest, a
debate, was won by the Miltonian de-
batting team by a decision Of 2 to /.
This was the decisive contest Of the
year, for each society had won one
contest, the Miltonian a program and
the Athenian a debate, and this de-
bate therefore decided which society
should win the cup presented to the
college by Father Shean and where
George" should reside for the com
ing year.
The question was: Resolved, that
constitutionality granted, that all cor
porations doing interstate business
should take out a Federal charter"
Messrs. Stanley, Oakland, and Bisby
defended the negative for the Athen-
ian society. Messrs. Dunn, Peck and
Sloan upheld the affirmative for the
Miltonians. The judges were C. NJ.
Woodwork, DR.. Olive and Prof. Cook.
The affirmative maintained that the
present system of state control is in
adequate; that Federal control is prac-
tical; that corporations doing inter
state business are national in their
scope; and that Federal control Of
corporations doing interstate bust
ness is inevitable. The negative
showed that the law requiring Federal
charters for corporations doing inter
state business is wrong in principle
and unnecessary; that Federal control
is undesirable because it causes cen

t%ralization of power at Washington;
that Federal control has failed where
tried; and that the control OF all cor
porations doing interstate business
by Federal Governmen is impracti-

The debate was a very close contest
as the decision indicates. The deli
very in the constructive argument was
to a tain degree monotonous and
lacked snap and vigor. This may have
been due to the smallness OF the au-
dience as no one can become enthus-
iastic over his subject when address
