as after the Napoloonic wars she
saved herself by now inventions and
Industrial expansion.
American workers are from two to
Ave times more productive than Eu-

this fact, and hence the commission is
learning American methods.
AZ present the Germans occupy
the industrial center OF France, After
the war France must rebuild her de-

them with modern American machin-

Storm. and IN. Wind.

II Is a curious fact that what Is gen.
orally known In some Of the eastern
states rs a northeastern storm Is In
reality. says Popular Mechanics. OF
quite a contrary origin. Because a
strong wind which frequently carries
heavy rain Is apparently driven from
a northeasterly direction It is popular
" assumed In specific area that the
storm originates somewhere In a north
eastern zone. while In truth It's real
source is In the west or southwest.
The explanation is that such disturb
ance is merely an indraft Of a baro-
metric depression In the opposite direc-
ton. The storm Is known as ''fiare-

is OUR CLIMATE cHANoINa7
Not at Ali Ips About the Same Now
as 4. Was Ages Ago.

Tho question OF the c0nsfnncy of the
climate must be discussed for three
different time ntcryals-first, has the
climate remained constant during the
recent past. say the last hundred
years; secondly. has the climate re.
mnined constant during the historic
times. say the Inst 1000 years: third
ly, has the climate remained constant
during recent geologic ages. say the
last 100000 years.
There are many stations where me
tcorological observations have been
made for more than hundred years.
IN fact, a few records cover more than
800 years. Based upon these obscrva.
tions, the statement can confidently be
made that the climate IL essentially
the same now az II was many years or
even hundred years ago. This ID
largely contrary TO popular belief. II
means that, taking one year with an
other. the snowfall Is just as large now
ns then. Il means that sleighing lasts
Just az long now as then. II means
that the winters nre no mlher now
than then. IL means that the sum
mers are no hotter now than then.
The constant statements BY the older
people that the climate II different
now than Il used 10 be when they
were younger are due TO the tendency
TO magnify and remember the unusual
while the ordinary IL forgotten. Thus
IN time II Is only the unusual snowfall
or the extremely low temperatures thai
are well remembered. and unconscious
ly the abnormal has thus been substi
tuted for the normal These state
ments are also due to the fact that the
attitude toward life. tho amount Of en-
ergy. the daily occupations and per
haps the place Of residence Of the old
or people are very different now thar
when they were younger.
In discussing the possible changes II
climate during the last 1000 years In
ference must be drawn from such re
corded facts as the dates OF harvest
| the kind and amount Of crops raised
the kind Of clothing worn by the peo
pie. the habits OF life Of the people
the existence Of certain wild animali
and forest trees. the size Of the rivers
the height OF lakes and inclosed seas
etc. From evidence OF this kind thu
conclusion has been drawn that ther'
have been no marked changes In eli
mate during historic times. From WI

GET PEOPLE TO YOUR STORE.

Intalking recently with a man
who has made big success as
an advertising salesman the
question was asked him, What
has been the most effective ar
gument you have used to induce
merchants to advertiser"
:" | ask Them" the salesman re-
piled, what proportion of the
population in the territory they
serve has come into their store
within the past three months.
Every few of them, in reply
to this question, claim that any
large proportion of the popula-
ton has come into the store. A
few say they have had 10 per
cent of the people. Many would
admit not over. / per cent of
the people had been in their store
during that period. In many
cases the proportion would be
away below l per cent.
'Then | say, how are all the
rest of the people going to have
any idea about the merits of the
stock on carry? They may go
by your place of business twice
a day. But thy know nothing
about what you are doing. You
will never get their trade unless
you seek after their business.and
tell them what you have got.
ITO do that | tell them there
are just three things that can be
done. They can send a salesman
around from door to door to tell
them about the goods. They
can distribute handbills or cir
cular letters. Or they can adj
vertise in the newspapers.
Newspaper advertising would
not cost a twentieth of the cost
of personal solicitation. It is
more effective, because it gets at
tention where solicitor would
be turned away. And news
paper advertisement is read
where handbill goes to the
waste basket. If you don't care
to adopt one of these methods, |
tell them the great mass of peo-
pie will continue to pass you by
without knowing about your
goods or giving you any bust
ness"
