Do Clothes Make
 the Man?

Y TS an interesting question:
 would the King of England still be \ every inch a king if he wore overalls
 and smoked clay pipe?
 Would J. P. Morgan with a patch in his trousers be as great a power in finance as he is in perfectly fitted suit?
 In 1905 President G. Stanley Hall of Clark University sent out a series of questions to ITO young people
 It would pay every young man in business to write these questions down and answer them himself by recalling his own experi-
 
 Question I was
 How does sense of heinz well dressed or the opposite affect you? How are you affected by shabby ill-fitting gloves or shoes?
 From the ITO answers I select those sen- tences which typical:
 When am well dressed I Feel able to meet nresod any to1 person.; When l am S well ''I feel able to cope with any situation that could possibly arise.''
 "When I am ill dressed I do not like to tug at my clothes" My opinion of myself takes decided drop"
 Question II was:
 How does the presence of some defect in your clothing which may not be obvious to others. affect you?
 The answers like this:
 II feel like touching it. "I am always directed to the spot" 1T feel as though eyes were piercing through and noticing it."
 
 we have not space for here, but may slider at some other time.
 In word. these TO young people testi- fled that good clothes inspired in them sub consciously feeling of confidence and power while poor clothes. even hidden defect in their clothes distracted their at tention and decreased their selfposscssion and efficiency.
 Many successful business men put on fresh clothes every morning, from the skin out.
 Why?
 Because they dudes" Not at all. Be cause the feeling that they we'll dressed any man, and better than most, puts them. subconsciously, at advantage in doing business.
 | talked with man who had lost two fortunes and is rich with third. "What did you do when you went broke ?" I asked him.
 'I borrowed money and bought the finest suit and overcoat in town,' he answered. "I well enough dressed to hold job, but to get job I needed to be better dressed than the man I applied to. I want ed that much of an advantage him." Your wife and few other people in the world known you for what you are. The great majority of mankind judges you hastily by what you appear to be. Let the impression of you that your clothes convey be at least S good you really are--an impression that you do business on: not one that you will have to work hard later to correct.

Not to Compete

The Elks of High Point, who have
won the Loving cup for the pas,
two years for best appearance and
number in the parades at the State
meetings, decided not to compete
this year owing to the distance and
inconvenience of getting to little
Washington. Had the local lodge
won this year it would have been its
property for good but in that case
would have offered another one for
the same purpose. because the Elks
of High Point are liberal and broad

Makers of Furniture Face
Higher Prices

! That the prices. of all raw materi
ais going into the manufacture O
furniture will continue to rise, with
the end nowhere in~ in sight ane
consequently the price of the pro
ducts must advance, was the un
luminous opinion expressed by those
who attended the semi-annual meet
ing of the Southern Furniture Manu-
facturers' association in Winston
last week.
Seventeen attended from High
Point and there were about SO at
! the meeting in all. The sessions
are described as being highly profit
able to furniturs manufacturers
At the banquet given Wednesday
night at the Zinzendorf there were
three speeches. Mayor Eaton made
one OF his typical addresses of vel
come that was greatly appreciated.
Charles Lee Chandler, the Southern
railway representative in South
America, spoke as did Robert E. Belt,
OF the Federal Trade commission.
Both Of these speeches were filled
with much food for thought
After the set speeches there were
number of important talks by
manufacturers. One of the most
interesting of these talks was made
by Frank Wineskie, of High Point.
Mr Wineskie said that On account
of no imports and large exports the
price of glass was still soaring.
Henry Ford is in the market for six
million square feet of glass and no
one will take the contract. The
automobile business is using more
glass now, it is said, than the mirror
industry.
A BUSINESS session was held
Thursday morning. President Fin
ley, Of North Wilkesboro and Secre-
tary Ryan, of High Point, submitted
their reports. Two new members,
