W ASHINGTON.--In great show
W case in the National museum five
stalwart American Indians are repre-
sented as illustrating the art or the In
dustry of making arrow heads. Their
workshop is the wide, stony margin
of brook. It is an interesting ex-
hibit and the process Of making ar
row heads, so puzzling to many per-
sons, is here SO clearly depicted that
any man can follow 1t. At one side
OF the case is the descriptive card, but
the descriptive matter being of con-
siderable length, few persons pause

TALK ON RETAIL. ADVERTISING

There is nothing mysterious about
advertising-it is simply salesman
ship" in print.
The majority of retailers imagine
that in order to advertise success
fully one must be clever and there
fore they often fill their advertise
ments with witty CD nonsensical
phrases that have no connection what
ever with the goods advertised. This
is far from being the case common
sense, reason-why craftsmanship adj
yertising will convince more custom
ers and sell more goods than any
amount OF funny advertising.
Good retail advertising serves to
mold public opinion and while II
may bring no immediate results, yet
it gives merchant reputation for
aggressiyeness for fair-dealing that
has an important sales-stimulating
effect on future business.
In all your advertising state facts.
II you are advertising an article don't
simply say that it is the best in the
world and let it go at that. Every
body claims to have the best article,
therefore in order to convince the
prospective customer it Is necessary
to state facts about the article that
prove why it is the best Such facts
Interestingly presented are sure t.
result in increased sales.

EIGHT ESSENTIAL FACTORS
Principles That underiie Most Sue
cessful Merchandising and
Advertising.

J. w. Adams of New York city, gen.
eral manager of the Daily Newspaper
association, in a recent address at
Columbus, Ohio, pointed out the essen
tial principles that underlie successful
merchandising and advertising. He
placed great deal of emphasis upon
the interrelation of the two things
that one Is essential to the other and
neither can stand alone. Advertising
must be backed up by the goods and
by the service. The goods and the
service have to be advertised to make
them successful.
Maximum of merchandising success,
says Mr.. Adams, depends upon eight
essential propositions that are factors.
These eight propositions are:
l. Honesty, economy, efficiency in
the organization.
2. Excellence in the quality of the
goods.
3. Desirability of goods.
4. Adequate supply of goods.
5. Proper distribution of goods,
s. Excellence in the style and
method of advertising the goods.
7. Adequacy of the advertising ap-
preparation.
s. Right choice of advertising me-
dunn.
It will be seen that three OF his
eight propositions deal with advertis-
ing. Mr.. Adams asserted that 1t is es-
sential to have the advertisements
well prepared and that they must be
frank, clear and honest He empha-
sized the need of using sufficient
space to command the attention of the
readers, to explain the goods and illus
trate them. He took the position that
newspaper advertising has character,
sustained interest and power to inf1u
ence readers that Is not possessed by
any other kind OF advertising that can
be suggested.

WwEW York; romance which
~ disrupted an imperial opera
IL company, started a war among
the aristocrats of Vienna and
for three years kept the musical cir
cles Of two continents in general tur-
moii, ended the other day with a
quiet little marriage in the city hall.
One OF the participants was Lucille
WRsself, Harlem girl, who, under
the stage name OF Lucille Marcel, is
known as one OF the worlds great
prima donnas; the other was Felix
Weingartner, the famous conductor.
The two met four years ago when
Marcel, then virtually unknown. was
selected by Richard Strauss to ere
ate the title role in that most diff
cult opera, "Elektra-" Weingartner
was conducting the Imperial opera
company at Vienna, where the first
production of the new opera was to
be given. He was married at the
time to Baroness Fedora Won Dreifus.
an intimate friend of the Archduchess
Marie Valerie, Francis Joseph's young
er daughter. These high connections
made the love affair which followed
an event of extraordinary public in
terest. In few months the entire
aristocracy of Vienna was talking
about it.
Marcel resented certain criticisms
from court circles and, despite an
opera public which adored her, an
grily resigned from the imperial com
pany. Weingartner followed suit. The
imperial orchestra went to pieces.
The imperial public went mad. All
over Europe musicians laughed at the
discontinue of the archduchess and
her friend. rejoicing meanwhile at the
independence of their fellow art
lists.
All this because Mrs. Samuel e.
Wasself of 961 Columbus avenue, Har-
lem, became convinced IL years ago
that her daughter could sing!
There were five members of the
Wasself family-Lucille. two brothers
and two sisters. They lived over
their fathers drug store on Colum-
bus avenue. Lucille was che only
one who had voice. Every one ex-
cept her mother considered it sad
but undeserved affliction. Mrs Was
self, through some mysterious facul-
ty that had been denied the rest Of
the family, perceived that it contain
ed extraordinary qualities. AS soon
as Lucille had graduated from the
Eighty-ninth street grammar school,
an event which traaspired In 1900, her
mother took her to Paris to study.
She was little girl, beautiful then
as she is now. Her beauty. after four
years, gained her position in the
Opera Comique, which paid her sal
airy Of $50 month, not great
amount, to be sure. but sufficient to re-
store the failing finances of mother
and daughter. But she did not stay
at the Opera Comique long One night
Jean de Reszke, the opera tenor,
whose chief delight is the develop
ment of new voices for the grand OPP
era stage, heard her rendition of a
little chanson. He visited her the
next day and told her that she would
have to give up the Opera ComiQue
and become his pupil. For another
four years Lucille studied under the
great man. Then, in 1909. came the
chance Of her lifetime. Richard
Strauss, desperate at his failure to
obtain a prima donna of sufficient W.
tally, voice aid dramatic ability to
create the difficult role Of Elektra,
begged de Reszke TO help him.

Mrs. William Sulzer Is entitled to a place in the literature of the cam paign. She is the presiding genius of one of the most sensible households in the land.
 When a candidate conducts his cam paign for the gubernatorial nomina- tion in a three dollar hotel room and the wife of the chairman of the for eign relations committee prefers a seven-room flat within her husbands means to pretentious quarters beyond his means at the national capital, sound sense is the family speciality. If William Sulzer ever goes wrong he will not be able to plead Adams cx- cuse.

People already begin to think that the recommendation to continue the railroad from Chltina to Fairbanks is a deep laid conspiracy by the Gug- gcnheims to get the government to purchase it's road. It has been gen crally thought that the Morgan Gug- Eenheim people got q white elephant on their hands when they built that road. The cost was enormous and the road suffers, like all roads over coast mountains in cold countries, from slides and washouts.
 By selling the road to the govern mont the owners would have their money returned and would still have a means of transportation from their copper mines. This would mean something good. of course. for the Guggs and as the Guggs are very wealthy people any advantage which they might gain would be a horrible catastrophe to us lovers of the com mon people.
 There is no reason at all why the Guggenheims or any other wealthy corporation should be permitted to grab the earth, but there is also no reason why attacks on imaginary con spiracies by the Guggenheims should be permitted to interfere with the construction of roads.
 As a matter of fact the greatest drawback to Alaska at present comes from the exorbitant rates for freight and passengers charged on Yukon river steamboats. Any railroad which would give transportation to the in- terior independent of the Yukon river would be a real boon to all Alaska.
