FAMOUS women

Madame Roland was probably, the
most remarkable woman of the French
revolution. She was born at Paris in
l156. She married in 1881. and. having
received an excellent education. as
sisted her husband in his business af-
fairs, and when he was secretary of
the interior after the outbreak of the
revolution and before anarchy was let
loose, served az his confidential adj
wiser. The Rolands were in sympathy
with the revolution. but opposed the
violence and bloodshed which followed
in the course of the outbreak
When the massacres of September
:, 1892. took place, NJ. Roland boldly
denounced it in the national conven-
ton. After that neither of their lives
was safe. When the faction headed
by Robespicrre, Danton. Marat and
other rabid revolutionists gained the
upper hand. Madame Roland was cast
into prison. while her husband fled.
After remaining in prison for several
months and seeing many Of her friends
sent to the guillotine, she followed
them to the scaffold on November s,
1873 It was she who exclaimed, oh
Liberty. Liberty. How many crimes
are committed in thy name" Her
husband, hearing of her death, ended
his life.

BUSINESS EFFICIENCY
BY H. ]. Barrett.

Very few statesmen work up to the
limit of their capacities" remarked an
np-to-date sales manager. And It is
not to be wondered at. One reason is
that, unlike the office man. no partic-
ular task is set for the salesman and
no one is present to see that he does
not relax his efforts Furthermore. SO
much of his work shows no tangible
results that he lacks the stimulus
of seeing something accomplished for
every ounce of effort expended Thus.
even though a salesman be working on
straight commission. he fails to work
as hard as he might.
ITO overcome this natural inertia.
We have adopted what Is called the
point system. The point system re-
suits In a salesmans feeling that for
every bit of work he does lie receives
cash as well as credit. The psyche
logical effect OF this Is immediate and
startling. The statesmen themselves
are surprised to see how much more
they are really capable of doing.
THE point system is simple in
theory but somewhat intricate in prac-
tice. We select a certain easy -scllihg
line and credit each salesman with
one point for each dollars worth OF
sales of that article. Other lines.
which sell with more difficulty. are
credited with several points per dol
lar sale. This overcomes the tendency
OF mans thinking only Of gross sales
and doing II big business which shows
but n small net profit.
In addition to awarding points for
actual sales. we give them for each
call, each report rendered etc. This
means that the statesmen feel that
every bit Of work they do counts for
something. 1t is splendid antidote
for that p. m. tired feeling.
We pay a salary and bonus. To
earn s25 per week. for example. VIC
expect man to make 5000 points.
II he secures another 500 or 1000
points he receives just so much more
money as a bonus. figured at the same
rate as his salary. OF course, we
have to depend In great measure upon
the mems honesty In rendering their
reports. There is no question about
sales. OF course, but when it comes to
number of calls made some men might
succumb to the temptation OF padding.
An occa sional inspection or check up
conducted every month or two OIL
some date not known to the salesman
serves TO cover this point.
"Since installing this system our
sales have shown n big increase and
our men are earning much more
money. Altogether this experiment in
efficiency has proved to be an un-
qualified success"
