Sales Persons Learn
First Handed How to
Reduce Psychology
To Rules
CUSTOMERS ARE
IN THREE CLASSES
Expert Defines Them and Illustrates So
That His Listeners Can Make No
Mistake-Next Lecture in Series at
Tech Tomorrow Night

After he sized up the sales person in
his first talk in the series on Making
Good in Business Frank jewell Ray
mond, the efficiency expert brought to
Harrisburg by the Harrisburg Chamber
of Commerce, switched last evening in
his second talk to the customer, and
pleased more than thousand persons
who crowded the small Chestnut street
hall.
They saw in his illustrations many
customers they have to deal with in
the course of days business and
learned first hand how to deal with the
various types he portrayed. The aver
age sales person is an expert psyehol-
ogist in his own line, but ne fell. into
it, naturally. Mr.. Raymond's talk
in measure made the uncertainty of
taking the wrong tact with customer
one of rules by dividing the large class
of customers in three classes.
The head type was the first. This,
according to Raymond, is person who
inquiries carefully about the quality of
goods and can be handled better by be-
ing impressed with the good quality of
an article. The beauty of the goods inn
presses the heart type, he said, while
the body type, the last of three kinds
of customers. must be led to believe he
is having his own way. Measuring
Men" was the appropriate title of last
night S talk.
The speaker impressed his hearers
with the importaneeNof the profession
of salesmanship, drawing comparison
to the ministry, medicine or teaching
| by pointing out that the salesman i'm
mediately become wage'earners.
Officials of the Harrisburg Chamber
of Commerce said to-day that the next
and last. of the series of talks by Mr.
Raymond would be gwen tomorrow

Il. c. niles. OF YORK. Will
SPEAK At peace MEETING
Committee in Charge of Gathering in
This City, March o, Tells Of Pur-
pose of Movement for Prevention
of War

The committee in charge of the pea e
mass meeting to be held at the Tech
nical High school auditorium on March
has made arrangements with Harry
c. Niles of York, vice president of tho
PENNSYLVANIA Arbitration and Peace So
ciety, /. make brief address prior TO
the principal address of the evening by
Professor Alvin 5. johnson. professor
of political economy at Cornell UNI
versity. The committee has issued the
following statement:
The meeting is not arranged or
held with the idea of influencing an
attempt to stop the great war. Sad
as il is it must burn itself out in n
passion of enmity and destruction. To
stop the war, desirable as it might
seem. would only mean the immediate
preparation by the powers now engaged
for a second war and an outpouring of
untold wealth and an increase in the
already intolerable burden of taxation.
The meeting is held with an aim more
possible of accomplishment than the
stopping of the storm. Instead of cry
ing to the mountainous waves to cease
rolling it is part of movement to
build breakwater at the harbor s
mouth which will give the ships of
state refuge from such future eatas
trophies.
"There are three principles generally
recognized among publicists and states
men which, if adopted, would make flu
ture war on the present scale an i'm
possibility. Until the present they
would have been difficult of realization
but at the close of this war the people
will be so sick of bloods'hed, so burden
ed with debt, so desirous of peace that
there will be an opportunity for wiser
counsel to supersede the military
theorists whose plan of preserving the
world S order by preparation to fight
has so utterly and miserably broken
down.
1.-The three great principles are: The
establishment of supreme court of
the world, the limitation of armament
by agreement and the esta olishment OF
an international police force and the
naturalization of the manufacture OF
the implements of war and the pro
hibition of such manufacturing by pri
vate interests

MEDICINE HAT
The Indian Chief From Whom the Ca
madam City Was Named

Not many persons know what was
the origin of the strange name borne
by the Canadian city that Mr.. Rud-
yard Kipling once called "the city
born lucky
The word medicine means more to
an Indian than to us. We think of it as
meaning something nasty that is good
for us, but the Indian distinguishes as
''good medicine and ''bat medicine -
anything that he fancies will change
his fortunes for better or for worse.
Imagine that Lo is hunting antelope
emily he finds an empty cartridge she'll
or the top of tomato tin, and shortly
afterwnrd he gets shot at his game.
Can he doubt that the piece of tin or
the shell gave the lucka Not he. He
wears that fragment of tomato tin or
empty shell about his neck with his
other jewelry and it is ''good medi-
cine.
Several years ago there was Black
foot chief who lived in the vicinity OF
Seven Persons River, where now
stands the city of Medicine Hat. He
and his tribe were fond of hunting and
of making war on their enemies, this
Crees. This chief always wore head
dress of feathers that he called hi:
medicine hat for he thought that il
brought him good fortune.
1t was dark day for the chief
when he last met the Crees at the place
where now stands the growing city.
He and his men fell upon the enemy
with great bravery and even put them
to ignominious flight. But just then
a gust of wind whirled out Of the west
caught the magic hat and tossed it
into the swift running Saskatchewan
river. Instantly the poor chief lost all
confidence in himself and his cause
and with victory in his hand he for
bore to grasp it, but fed over the
plains toward the Rockies, followed by
his tribe.-Youth' IS Companion.
