manager Of the National Cash Regis
ter Company. Is the "star" in very

being produced before audiences OF
statesmen.
This play, 1.-THE Evolution of a
Store" Is the latest plan of the Ma
uonal Cash Register Company for
the instruction of It's large sales
force In new selling methods. But
the most striking feature of 1t Is, OF
course. the appearance OF President
Patterson rs the "star."
The president Is noted for his
originality OF method in all=thingsr
more especially in developing selling
talent. He founded the first school"
for salesmen, and he has made
teaching by the eye" an axiom of
business training.
In every National Cash Register
conference. his "chalk talks" are a
feature. These consists Of rough
sketches, hastily drawn by the pres
tdent In black and colored Crayon,
to drive home various points brought
out. Throughout the cash register
plant, you will fnd large paper tables
on easels and an abundance crayons.
and chalk talk" Is Just as likely
In the shops as In the conference
rooms. The president Is also o
strong advocate of moving pictures.
In the staging Of "The Evolution
OF Store" he has resorted TO dra-
mates as an effective means of Inn
pressing. as we'll as interesting. his
hearers. The pay Is based on the
troubles of storekeeper. Mr.. Pat.
terson takes the part Of the cash reg
lister agent, and when The play had
its sevcrest try-out here recently. at
the National Cash Register plant, he
occupied the stage for total Of
three hours.
More remarkable-hIs Tines"
were entirely impromptu, and he
gave n mastery demonstration OF
modern craftsmanship.
In the first act he made the APP
proach to a retail grocer, inviting
the latter'a interest and confidence
by suggesting in friendly way i'm
provements possible in store meth
DDS. In the second act, the agent
had interested the grocer in the 1916
model OF the National cash register.
and had also succeeded in converting
the grocer's wife in favor Of the
proposition.
Next. the agent visited the gro
GERS banker and the wholesaler. and
sold" them. Then, after the cash
register had been installed, two acts
were given to explaining National
Cash Register service" This service
which Is a feature of the company's
1915 advertising, included such sub
jects as the training of clerks, win
dow displays and the like.
OF course. 1.-THE Evolution OF n
Store" has its "happy ending
ter business for the grocer, an inn
proved financial condition and In
creased home happiness.
The play affords the opportunity
to MIR. Patterson to display these
marvellous business traits which have
made him master of business. Both
In his acting and In his lines" he
shows the supreme value of enthusi-
asm. sincerity, intelligence. kindness,
courtesy and other factors of up-tO-
date craftsmanship.
The play is intended for the hene-
fit of the company's salesmen, and it
will only be produced before audi
ences composed of salesmen brought
to the plant for instruction.

HAWAII COFFEE
J 3RA|SERS JUB|LANT
~ IN Z v y :
Announcement Of Presidents
Plan To Impose Duty Brings
Joy Here

Coffee men of Hawaii were jubilant
yesterday over the announcement from
Washington that the President Is ex,
Pected to urge the imposition of a duty
on coffee as part of his program for
making up the 1870, 600, 900 deficit with
which the national government is
faced.
This is something for which the
coffee growers of the Territory had al,
most ceased to hope. Had a Republi-
can president been elected, they might
have had reason to expect a move of
this kind, but that a Democratic ad-
ministration would come TO their relief
seemed more than improbable.
OF course the placing of n duty on
coffee win not be for the purpose Of
aiding Hawaiian coffee growers. That
il will do so Is merely incidental, but
II il none the less satisfactory.
For many years the coffee men of
this Territory, particularly Abe Louis,
son of Hawaii, have been working to
induce congress to come TO their assis-
lance, but hitherto without avail. If
things come their way now, as II seems
probable they will, II is expected that
a great impetus will be given to coffee
growing in Hawaii.
J. M. McChesney, coffee dealer of
this city, said yesterday that he was
greatly surprised by the announcement,
as the coffee men Of Hawaii had prac,
tically given up hope of having the
duty restored. 1t would hurt rather
than help him, he said, as he is a deal,
er, not a grower, but he expressed the
belief that it would be a great help to
the Territory.
Exports of coffee from Hawaii, he
said, now amount to about 100000 a
year, most of the coffee now going to
the Philippines. But the bulk of the
coffee grown in the Territory is con.
sumed here, largely by the army.

Widow Learns Of ,
Husbands Death
After His Burial

Alexandria Freitas, Portuguese
girl who married Joaquin Salvador, a
Filipino, last year, learned yesterday
afternoon not only that her husband
was dead, but that he had been buried
in Loeb View Cemetery in Pearl City.
According to the story told by the
widow 70 board of health officials yes.
terday, she called at The Queen 3 Hos.
pital on Wednesday evening to visit
her husband, who was there under
treatment. She called there again
yesterday, only to be told that
he was dead. She asked to see his
body and was told that it had been
removed by the undertaken.
Mrs. Salvador then went to the
health officials, believing that the body
was at the morgue. She was informed
that 1t had already been buried. 1t
took considerable effort on the part of
the officials to convince her of this
fact.
This, it was related yesterday, b not
the first occurrence of its kind and the
health officials will probably make
efforts to see that it does not occur
again and that widows and relatives
may be able to see their loved ones
before they are consigned to their
graves.

Hotel Men and Promotion Com
mittee Members Discuss situ-
alton For Coming Carnival
APPLICATIONS POURING
IN FOR RESERVATIONS
T. B. ThieIe Suggests Clearing
House To Handle Matter of
Accommodation For Visitors

The situation as regards accommoda,
tions for tourists in Honolulu was dis
cussed yesterday afternoon at a meet
ing of the promotion committee and
the managers of several Of the hotels
of the city, and the conclusion was
arrived at that, although for a few
days during the Carnival, the situation
will be somewhat tense, yet there will
be accommodations for all who come
to Hawaii.
The hotel managers who attended
the meeting included T. B. Thiele of the
Alexander Young Hotel, J. +. Child of
the Blaisdell Nelson Ware of Hale Kai,
Miss Mary johnson of the Colonial and
f. @. Duisenberg of the Pleasanton.
The matter of the many applications
being received by letter and cable for
reservations at the hotels was thorough
ly discussed and the conclusion was ar
rived at that it is impracticable to
guarantee definite accommodations dur
ing the period of from January Is to
the end of the Carnival season.
The hotel managers expressed the
opinion, however, that although special
that period, tourists desiring TO come
here will be able to ind other accommo-
datiOns and there is no reason for any
body staying away on that account.
Suggest Clearing House
Mr.. Thiele and Mr.. Duisenberg sug.
gestod the idea Of a clearing house to
handle the matter of accommoda atoms
for visitors. 1t was decided that the
suggestion was a good one and that
the promotion committee would be ac-
ceptable to act as such a clearing house
The secretary of the promotion commit.
tee was instructed to devise ways and
means for working out the idea.
This fits in easily with work the pro-
motion committee is already planning,
that of taking census next month of
all available accommodations in private
homes and elsewhere for tourists. The
committee will soon ask residents of the
city who have rooms that can be used to
list them with the committee, as was
done last year.
Room Here In Plenty
The promotion committee, at the con.
clusion of the meeting, sent a message
10 San Francisco Office to the effect that
because the impression had gone out
that the Waikiki beach hotels could not
supply specific accommodations was no
reason why tourists could not be given
accommodations elsewhere. The San
Francisco office was instructed to circul.
arize all the transportation companies,
east and west, and to try to prevent
the cancellation of any steamship book
ings for Hawaii
