salesmanship Glass At Y. M: 0. A. Enrolls
 Forty Students

Only four vacancies remain in the class in SAesmanship and Business Efficiency which opened at the Y M. c. A. last night under the leadership of J. R. Jennings. The class is limited to 40.
 l MT. Jennings held the close attention of the class for more than two hours, and was kept nearly another hour be- ing piled with questions by members of the class Beginning next week, Wednesday night until the 17-Week course is completed
 After -ana1yziIig and defining sales manship with a number of charts and diagrams, MT. Jennings took up the subject of memory traiNing. He showed by a practical illustration that men lack good memories, first, be- cause they have not developed the faculty for close observation and con- centration; and second, because they. do not associate the new idea with something they already know
 To show howeweak the average man is in remembering names, MT. Jen- nings first asked five men present to rise and give their names and bus iness connections. He then requested six men in turn to repeat the names and business connections of the five men who had introduced themselves. and none until the sixth could give all correctly.
 Tn taking up the matter of personal and business efic1ency, MT Jennings gave out cards to the class mem bers on which each man is to keep a daily record of new ideas; observations made of windows, sales and men times late; appointments broken: names forgotten; negative statements; i; and time spent in study.
 The subject of next wek's lesson is I"Personality, Character Building and Analysis It is expected that the class will be filled to capacity before that time.

Studying Health insurance.

The National Civic federation has instituted inquiries into the methods in foreign countries of insuring wage earners against misfortune, and as a result the social service department of the federation is considering the desirabilitt of recommending legisla- tion to provide for compulsory insur- ance for illness.
 A committee has been in London to study the operation of the national insurance act of Great Britain. Elm ployers were asked about the cost of the insurance and its relation to business Wage earners were asked to give information regarding the ef- fleets on wage rates. on the conditions of employment, and on their general welfare. Changes in the cost of poor relief and any reduction in the death rate from preventable diseases were investigated.
 This general survey will prepare the way for an investigation by a commis- sion next spring, when an effort will be made to bring together all infor- nation which will serve social insur- ance purposes in the United States.

CBy r. H. BALLOU.)


 In response to numerous inquiries regarding the planting of different quantities of seed potatoes per acre. a series of important tests were made in Ohio to determine what the difference was, if any. The experiments were conducted with the utmost care and interest
 h the first year were used 10. i5 25 and 40 bushels per acre. The seed pieces were very carefully cut and accurately weighed in each and every rate of planting. In the 10 bushels per acre rows one-eye seed pieces were used: in the 15 bushels per acre, two eyes; in the 25 bushels per acre, half tubers; and in the 40 bushels per acre, whole tubers.
 It was interesting to note the differ ence between the young plants of the different sections, as they pushed up through the soil in due time after planting. The difference in vigor of plants, for the first week or two, was decidedly in favor of the whole tubers. The plants from the one-eye pieces were at first much more slender than
