SAL IESAIAN MUST LOOK
HEALTHY TO BE SUCCESSFUL

In the June American Magazine a
successful salesman says:
"A salesman should look healthy. I
formed a theory on that point a long
while ago, and have proved it since
then more than a thousand times. At
first 1 didn't know exactly why it was
but now I think I have succeeded in
figuring out the psychology OF the
thing.
In the first place, the best selling
point Tor an article is TO get it asso-
ciatcd in the mind Of the customer
with success. Everything, even re-
motelv connected with the article, that
suggests success is u point which
weighs in favor of the sale. II the
salesman looks prosperous, the custo-
mer unconsciously or subconsciously
receives the impression that this pros
perity grew out of the excellence of
the article he is selling. The sales
man should carry into a store an i'm
preston of success. prosperity and
harmony. He should look as if
things are breaking welr for him, as
the saying is. Now the idea of com
plete harmony cannot be conveyed, as
look at it, without health"

A SCIENTISTS PLEA FOR
EARLY MARRIAGE

In the June American Magazine DR..
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of
the telephone and now investigating
the cause of old age makes the fol-
lowing plea for early marriage.
my investigation has convinced me
that the opposition to early marriages
Is a very unwise thing. so far as longe-
witty is concerned" he declares. "As a
general rule, indeed a very general
rule, the younger the parents the long
er their children live. In my analysis
of the longest and most reliable gene
a1ogy In New England l found two
cases of mothers who, being only I6
years old when their frst-born came
into the world. had children who lived
to tremendous old age"

SAFETY lies IN SPEED

In the June American Magazine
Frederick Upham Adams, the automo-
bile expert, says:
ut is not generally realized that per-
IL to pedestrians increases just about
in proportion as minimum speeds for
automobiles are enforced 1t is
known that high speeds for motor cars
are preventive to injury to street
trespassers. IF automobiles were
compelled to crawl along at from 10
to 15 miles an hour the death rate in
Giles like New York and Chicago
would mount to appalling figures. In
these cities, and in all cities IN the
United States, and abroad, the vast
proportion of the deaths and injuries
to pedestrians and children occur on
streets where slow automobile rates
prevail"

the night, Mrs. Eldred dressed and
walked eight miles over a mountain

ORIGINAL CLUB IN AMERICA

A writer in the June American Mag
azne says:
There exists in one of our great
western cities q unique secret club
called by the members, the Get-out
and Get-On club. It was organized
seventeen years ago by ten ambitious
men who looked upon themselves as
not yet having won success. Mem
bership for twelve years has been linn

the club votes him one, and when the

STRONG LINEUP
Lebanon Valley Baseball Team
Will Come to Front Be-
fore Season Ends
SfeeiaI to Tie TeIeerneh

Annville, Pa, May 26.-Under the
strenuous coaching system of Rags"
Guyer, this years Lebanon Valley
baseball team is developing into the
fastest combination that has repre-
sented the school in years. During
the past two weeks the Lebanon VAL
ley nine won five games of a series of
seven contests.
Although many promising candi-
dates made their appearance at the
opening call, much of the credit for
placing winning team on the field is
due to the system laid down by Guyer.
The coach insists that each man shall
report for practice every afternoon
unless a reasonable excuse can be
given. In case of unexcused absence,
no partially is shown by Guyer, and
the negligent player is benched at the
discretion of the coach.
No Spectacular Players
The team boasts of no spectacular
players, although the pitching staff is
the strongest asset to the nine. White
and Ziegler are the premier hurlers
on the squad. The former pitcher
struck out sixteen men in the Dickin-
son game and famed fifteen in the
Susquehanna contest. Ziegler is the
coolest man on the mound and the
hardest slugger on the team. Brown
and w. Swartz also show good form
when placed in the box. McNelly is a
dependable man at the backstop po-
sition at critical moments and timely
hitter.
Strong Infield
The infield is composed of expert
enced and able players, making the
strongest combination that Guyer has
yet gotten together. Newlyn, at first,
Swartz, at second; Machen, at third,
and Heating, at short, field the sphere
in skillful and clever style. The out
field is being filled by a number of
players, Guyer alternating his choice
in most of the games. Peiffer, Bohan,
White, Ziegler, W. Swartz, Buckwalter
and E. Ziegler cover the garden jobs
as the coach sees fit.

The numbers both in song and dance are right up to the mark, full of "pep" and originality and the
