The Third of a Series of Talks
With WdShington's Foremost
Printers
By'CHAS. F. CRANE
Secretary Treasurer Crane Printing 90

Not so long ago Commercial Printing was
merely convenience-a method for producing
cheapy certain forms and blanks which made
routine intercourse between firms and among
the inside departments of business easy With
the growth and expansion of business into the
complex structure of the present day, when
literally hundreds of ones customers have never
seen the house from whom they buy, CONNER
cial printing became more than a mere con-
venience-it had 10 take on the character and
quality of representative. So today COM
mercial printing must possess not only con-
venience-value, but also craftsmanship
To put salesmanship-va into the various
pieces of printing that are sent out to represent
business house requires intelligent co-opera-
ton, both with and from the printer. Together,
you and he should decide very largely what is
to be id-the dress which is to be given it
and thus the impression which it will eventually
make. The printer who can give this service is
the jewel beyond compare-the laborer worthy
of his hire. When you find him, Stck-for it
will pay.
Unfortunately, many business men have not
taken the buying of printing out of the con-
venience stage. To save few dollars land it is
very few dollars) at the spigot of expense
hundreds of dollars are lost at the profit bung-
hole.
For instance, the average business letterhead
is disgrace to the firm it stands fort lacks
individuality, looks cheap, and miSrepreSents
the character and standing of the firm, when for
perhaps one-tenth of cent more it could have
appeared as neat and natty as the star salesman
on his first morning call.
Analyze, then, the twofold value of your
printing and if you are not getting the sales
manShip-value in it, try printer who will give
1t to you. Remember every piece of printing
you send out is Salesman. II must compete
for attention with other statesmen. Whether or
not it is read-or gets an order-depends alb
solutely on the first impression it makes. Any
device which helps give favorable first i'm
preston is not an expense, but sound invest

A Very Old Rule.

The oldest mathematic book In the
world is believed to be the "Papyrus
Rhind" in the British museum, pro-
fessed to have been written by Ahmes,
a scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the
period between 1000 and 100 B. C.
This 'Papyrus Rhind'' was translated
by Eisenlohr of Leipzig. and it was
found to contain rule for making a
square equal in area to a given circle.
1t was not put forth as an original dis
covery, but as the transcript of a
treatise 500 years older still, which
sends US back to approximately 25OO
B. c., when Egyptian mathematicians
solved, or thought they had solved, the
problem of squaring the circle.

British were unable to drive the Turk
from their positions.
The Russians who originally fought
the Turks on a limited area in the
Caucasus have inflicted several crush
ing defeats upon the Turks since
Grand Duke Nicholas took the chief
command. They have transferred the
momentum of their offensive over the
Caucasian border into Armenia, where
they are now attacking Erzerum, an
important city in the interior.
Russian columns operating in Persia
have occupied the town of Sultanabad,
$50 miles southwest of Teheran and
about an equal distance northwest of
Ishpahan. The garrison and the Ger
man consul have fed to Bouroudjir,
fifty miles west of Sultanabad.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF
b THE WAR

According to an unofficial report
from Amsterdam, Turkey has admitte
that one of her submarines was re-
sponsible for the sinking of the Persia
in the Mediterranean last month.
Should it prove to be correct, the
United States undoubtedly will send
to the Ottoman government one OF
the sharpeat notes dispatched from
Washington to foreign power since
the European war began. In the opin-
ion of many persons it would be to all
intents and purposes an ultimatum
demanding of Turkey under threat OF
an immediate severance Of diplomatic
relations, a prompt disavowl, pun
ishment of the commander response
BILE, reparation and assurances for the
future.
Through the good offices Of the Unit.
ed States the German, Austrian, Tur-
kish and Bulgarian consuls in Sa
lonika, who have been held under ar.
rest by the allies on board a French
warship in the harbor, are to be re
leased.
King Nicholas has fed from Mon
tenegro and has landed in Italy on hi;
way to Lyons. The defense of the
country has been left entirely to
Prince Mirko, General Voukotitch, the
former premier, and General Mar
tinovitch.
Austro-Hungarian troops have occu-
pied the important town or Scutari, in
northern Albania, according to a
Stefani News agency dispatch from
Athens.
Austrian occupation of Montenegro
virtually was completed with the
taking of the Adriatic coast towns OF
Antivari and Duloigno. In the in
terror, the disarming of Montenegrin
soldiers is proceeding, according to
advices from TeutOntc sources.
The compulsory service bill of the
ministry was presented in the British
house of lords after having passed its
third reading in the house of com
mons by a vote Of 3S3 to So.
French air squadrons made i'm
portant raids on Monastir and Giev,
geh, according to dispatch from Sa-
lonika to Reuters Telegram company.
Taking advantage of the bright
moonlight, hostile aeroplane swept
over the east coast Of Kent. After
dropping nine incendiary bombs in
rapid succession the aeroplane disap-
peared out over the North sea.
One man was killed and two men,
q woman and three children were in
jured.
A second attack, this time by two
hostile sesplanes, was made on the
Kent coast later. No casualties havs
been reported. The raiders escaped.
Heavy fighting occurred on Friday
and Saturday between the British
army that is attempting 10 reach Kut-
el-Am&ra in MesopotRmia and thu
Turks. The battle took place at Essin.

teen pounds. The settings above allud-
