with the task OF saving them from

OF the pet theories on the subject held

it doubtless will surprise some OF
the batfled submarine commanders 10

When camounage frst was talked
OF as protection FOR our ships
gainst the undersea craft, II was the
popular notion that 1t involved paint
ing with some dead color, like battle
ship gray, to make the ship more or
less invisible.
Then. In increasing numbers, odd
looking ships began to appear in New
York Harbor. Ferry passengers
rubbed their eyes and looked a second
time. what they saw looked like a
paint factory struck by lightning.
Bright splotches OF color, laid on in
| circles, squares. diamonds and ir-
regular figures made the ships stand
out to the observer.
The public marvelIed, criticised,

MERCHANDISING MUSINGS
By E. G. R.

Everyone agrees that store meet
ings," with reservations, are good
things. The reservations that the
writer of this column has in mind are
the proper times for such meetings and
the right things to discuss.
By all means hold store meetings
periodically, but some of them should
be for department men only, while
others should embrace the whole store
organization. General Pershing, for
instance, never called meeting of
buck privates to decide on his st. Mi
hiel action, yet I am inclined to think
the staff was consulted. Then, too, It's
a safe bet he did not call a meeting of
his majors when the fight was actu-
ally on.
A meeting of department men called
for a time of day when everyone of
them should be on the firing line di-
recting his salesforce, Is rotten mer-
chandising and don't care how impor-
tant the subject in hand might be.
Why not call such a meeting for early
morning or at the close OF the business
hours.
Another reservation-don't call a
meeting and so dominate it that the
head Of the concern gets only a re-
Election of his own ideas rather than
the views of the salespeople called up
on for an expression. If you ask a
man for his opinion on a matter Of
store policy, don't sit upon him be-
cause his opinion Is not what you ex-
pected. It's his constitutional right to
express HIS opinion when you ask
for it.
In every organization there are men
and women (mostly mem who like to
curry favor with the "old man." These
weak sisters will always express the
boss's opinion If they have already
sensed it. but in the name of common
sense, how can a store meeting pay it's
way if it is held only for the purpose
of having your organization tell you
what you want to hear?
Another angle-don't call a store
meeting for the purpose of having the
one directing it make up the minds of
those called into consultation, al

years ago and upon the invitation of
