Jacobs and Hunt third sackers, are
worthy of recognition. Hunt is bang
ing the ball at a good clip and his
nelding is mighty nice, while on the
other hand Jacobs has the hitting
ability, but his defensive work is
somewhat off color. All in all, Jack
son will surely have his hands full
in picking the right man for the
corner.

big points that we emphasize are to greet the customer with a smile, to increase the vocabulary and to cultivate pleasing tones. We try to instill into the girls that customer will never be cross if the person behind the counter smiles and Is pleasant. We teach store spelling English and arithmetic, citizenship, com mercial geography and hygiene; this lat ter is practically sex hygiene.
 The class work is supplemented with lectures and with visits to the public H. brary and museum and various mills. Dis cussions of current events are also a part of the general instruction. We want the girls to have something to talk about besides where they went the night before. Our aim is to awaken the girls to real ize the opportunities that are before them
 The managers of the various depart ments continually tell us of the great i'm provement in their salesgirls and in the amount of their sales in a short time after they have entered these classes. One of the managers tells how a customer ap- peared at a counter with four small din ing room pictures in her hand costing 20 cents each. The girl, remembering the instructions she had received only a day before and thinking she would put it to the test, took the pictures, but added: T should like to show you our latest pie lures which we have just got in The

The customer was of the silent type. She walked up to the coun- ter hauled over the aprons. opened stv- eral, looked them over sullenly, saving nothing.
 She went down to the bottom of a pile and disarranged the aprons on t.p until she came to one which she opened up and tried on. After looking at almost every apron on the counter she went away, saying that she did not see a thing she wanted.
 All the while the clerk. smlipgly and in pleasant manner, tried to make a sale. The other members of the class took notes to use in the discussion which fol- lowed. The spirit of criticism was f-iepd- ". The atmosphere of the class was play rather than school. The customer vas criticized for putting her umbrella on the counter and upon articles for sale The clerk was equally criticized for not removing the article before proceeding with the sale.
 The clerk was also criticized for misuse Of words in speaking of her wares and especially for saying that an apron was rretty when in fact it was not The point was made that. desirous of making the sale, she could have said with truth that the apron was practical and one of the Lest on the table.

 A PLEASANT VOICE
Another Part of ,Course--Higher Wages Result From Instruction as to How to Dress--Speak-
 ing the Truth Essential

.a,hc saanpeV Nal,io-o of smile and pleas ant voice is being taught in most con vincing manner to young women clerks of Milwaukee in salesmanship classes recent ly established in the city continuation school, an institution which is attracting such wide attention that its methods and results are being investigated by visiting delegations of educators from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Indianapo- lis, St. Paul, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Cin- cinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and other cities, even those as far west as the Pa cihc coast, says a Milwaukee special to the New York Sun.
 Always greet your customer with a smile and wait upon him or her pleasantly and cheerfully."
 Increase your vocabulary. Never use tho everlasting question, Something in hats? or Something in towels?' as the case may be-
 .Cultivate a low, pleasing tone of voice."
 Be we'll informed, especially on cur rent events. Be able to talk about some thing else than where you were the night before"
 This is the essence of the creed that Is winning increased salaries for Milwaukee clerks, several recent advances in the weekly stipend being directly traceable to the work done in the salesmanship classes of the continuation school, con- ducted under the state law.
 On certain days each week one of the assistant instructors in the salesmanship classes spends several hours behind the counters in the various store which are cooperating with the school, noting the various problems with which the clerk has to contend and getting practical Knowledge of selling.
 Three times each week Mrs. A. Englert, head of the department, lectures to the saleswomen in the three department stores that are giving the heartiest CO., operation. Any problems presented by the clerks are solved In the classroom for the benefit of all the girls.
 ~ Instructions About Dress
 Instruction as to how to dress is also part of the course. A recent lesson on color in general was followed by a dis cussion of the effect of subdued and in tense colors, and the girls were finally taught the artistic value of dressing in subdued colors, with only a touch of the intense color to give contrast
 But above all things the girls are taught to be pleasant.

Western War Zone Con- tinues Quiet-Sn0w Stops Fighting In Servia-Bul-
 garia May Join Allies

London, November 27.--G0 p. m.)
 Willie Petrograd correspondents con-
 tine to declare the Russians have won
 great victory over the Germans in
 Poland, official confirmation still is
 lacking. Although Russian headquar-
 tcrs say the advantage in the fighting
 still lies in their troops, Berlin declares
 that no decisive battle has been fought,
 Some German newspapers claim success
 for their armies.
 The silence of Grand Duke Nicholas,
 Russian commander in chief in the cast,
 as to the progress of the battle in
 Poland is causing unfavorable com
 ment in Russia. Advices from Petro-
 siad say there is a feeling there that perhaps newspaper claims of a Rus- sain success have been exaggerated In the western war zone compara- two quiet prevails. No reports of heavy fighting have been recorded here in
 several days, although there have been intermittent artillery duels and at places small infantry encounters. Snow has interfered with fighting in Servia, where the Austrians are l making a supreme effort to rid them selves of their difficulties
 The Roumanian Parliament will meet t3l., orrow and the future course of action of this kingdom probably will be decided It is said Roumania is pre- pared to cede to Bulgaria some of the te, ritory she obtained after the second Balkan war at the expense of her neighbor.
