HUGH CHALMERS SAYS

Any man who has anything to sell has the
problem of getting his invitation to buy before
the largest possible number of prospective buy
erS.
The larger the number he interests the more
units he can make, and the lower his producing
cost descends. So he takes the quickest method
of reaching large number of people-advertis-
ing.
If anyone tells you he is able to sell you his
goods at lower cost because he had adver-
tising expense, laugh at him.

GREAT HEAT WAVE
HITS EAST COAST
SWELTERING HEAT CAUSED BY
GIGANTIC PHENOMENON OF
WEATHER
Predicted That Wave Will Cover All
United States, Reaching Pacific
Coast in Few Days

By the United Press Associations.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-A weather
phenomenon, known as a Bermuda
high" reached the eastern coast of the
United States today and plunged east
ern cities into sweltering heat. Many
deaths have been reported.
Cause of Wave
A great area of high pressure air
has been massing for the last month
in the Atlantic, off Bermuda, and has
now let go full power from the At
lantic ocean to the Rocky Mountains.
This is the Bermuda high" For
weeks it has stood solid wall against
heated areas trying vainly to move
out of the interior over the ocean, and
now as it swirls rapidly along it gath
ers moisture and heat from the topics
which are discharging when it moves
into the vacuum of the so-called low
pressure areas"

Foreign Trade Investigation.

Foreign Trade Investigation.
The most extensive Investigations
into foreign conditions ever
undertaken at one time by the Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce, will
be under way soon after the begin
mig of the new fiscal year in July.
These Investigations will be aimed at
the newer and more undeveloped
markets lying we'll outside of the fight
ing zone, especially those in South
America China, India, Africa and
| Australia TweIverdffferent lines are
to be investigated and fifteen distinct
examinations to find suitable agents
for the work have been announced for
i some time in May.
For South America, agents are be-
| ing sought to study and report on mar
kets for construction material and ma
chinery, fancy groceries, furniture,
glass and glassware, jewelry, and sill
verware, motor vehicles, paper and
printing supplies, railway supplies and
stationery and Office supplies. In the
Far East, Africa, and Australia a
study will be made of the markets for
boots and shoes, electrical goods, mo-
tor vehicles, and railway supplies. One
5agent is also sought tos1ook into pos
liabilities for American commercial and
industrial investments in South Amer
lea and another to make a similar
study in the Far East.
The difficulty the Bureau has expe-
rienced3 in getting suitable men for
/ its foreign investigations illustrates
the lack of trained men for foreign
commercial work which has SO often
been called to the attention of Amer
leans in the last year. There are
plenty of men capable of sizing up
market conditions in any part of their
own country, but there is a, different
Fstory to tell when man is wanted to
study the prospects of selling goods in
a foreign country For South Amer
! icas for example, the Bureau of For
| eign and Domestic Commerce wants
men who can speak Spanish, who UNI
defstand their particular line well
enough to learn the. essential facts so
necessary to American exporters, and
who, when IN possession of these facts
can write them up in sclear-eut 1ogi-
cal. convincing fashion. Such men are
scarce For Investigations in the Far
East a foreign language is not essen
tiaI, although extra credit will be giv-
en- in the examination for a knowledge
of French, German or Spanish.
