During my years spent in re-
tail merchandising and advertls-
ing, one question has been asked
more than any other.
At the end of each month, when
the boss looks over the bills pay
able and . checks up the business
done. he wonders if by his au-
thorizing the spending of a little
more money the gross sales would
not have been larger.
I had been keeping a Graph
Chart" Of sales and advertising
for each of the thirty-five depart
ments for six months when the
president called me in to decide
this very completing question.
SMr. Blank" he said, eve had
4 so per cent this month and
spent $4,000 in advertising, and
what I want to know is do you
think II we had spent $1,000 we
would have had a large enough
increase over and above the 50
ner cent 10 warrant the extra
thousand dollars?
l had reason to believe he had
asked his advertising director the
same question, and ] also had rea-
son to believe that his advertising
director had answered in the at
firmative. because ] had been reg
ulating his expenditure for six
months, and it did not. meet with
his approval.

which keeps the sales over the
top and if we go above that
expenditure the increase is not
enough to warrant, but if we drop
below it our sales fall off almost
two to one"
My graphic chart told this mer-
chant a better story of sales and
advertising control than pages of
figures and percentages would
ever have done.
Needless to say this store is now
operating it's advertising control
on a scientific basis, and each
three months is able to regulate
its expenditures very much the.
same as an automobile driver reg

the consumption Of his gas.

chants who read this take their
weekly sales and advertising to-
tails for the past six months, ar
range them on a chart and read
the story they tell.
I'll wager that it will be so
interesting and so profitable that
you'll revise your appropriation
for the coming six months and
find that you'll meet your quota
on less advertising expenditure.

SCOPE Of
SALARY REWSIONS

Assurance has been given by many
members Of Congress to Luther C.
steward, president OF the National
Federation OF Federal Employees. that
the work of reclassifying Of salaries
Of Federal employees would be extend
ed throughout the United States.
The Congressional joint commission
on the Reconsideration Of salaries Of
the Government workers is busy to-
day adjusting a new scale OF wages
for Federal employees in the District.
Because the work Of the commission
does not affect the Government work
ers in the field. the Federation has
urged upon members OF Congress to
extend the work.
No action, it was stated, will be
taken by Congress until the commits
sion completes its work OF reclassi-
fying the jobs and salaries OF the
Federal employees In the Capital The
commission expects to complete It's
work by January !. when a report and
recommendations for salary increases
will be forwarded 70 Congress.
The extension OF the work Of re-
classification will affect more than
$4,000 Federal employees through
out the United States Strong protest
has ben received by mambsrs OF Con-
gress from Government employees In
the cities, particularly from those in
the customs service, because the COM
mission was authorized only to re-
classify the jobs and salaries OF the
Government workers in the Capital.
The work OF charting and reclassi-
fying the jobs and salaries Of the
District Federal workers Is progress
ing, and by October 1 the commission
expects to hold public hearings in an
effort to reach a satisfactory scale OF
wages for the Government workers,
Including supervisory officials.

Help for Victims Of
City's Second Tornado

Omaha has just undergone its Sec
ond visitation from 4 destructive
tornado, and while all are thankful
the monster Of the air passed with
no toll of life taken, we must real
ize that property losses fall heavily
on the victims.
Many of the citizens whose homes
have been blown away will need
help to rebuild. This ought to be
provided, and promptly. 1t is not
charity, but simple justice, that this
be done. Their faith in Omaha was
shown by the fact that they had ac-
CURED homes here, and now Omaha
must redeem that faith by assist
ing those who need it to restor.
their homes.
Great physical suffering and dis
tress does not confront us this time
as it did six years ago, following the
Easter storm of 1913. But the fam
lilies who have been turned out Of
house and home, whose personal be-
lcngings and household effects are
scattered in bits and rags by the
raging wind, need shelter and must
start all over.
What machinery may be required
to provide the succor need not be
here discussed. Most of those who
served in 1918 still are residents in
Omaha and can give of the wisdom
born of experience then gained to
aid similar committee. The mayor
or the Chamber of Commerce
should act without delay to estab-
lish whatever agency is needed to
set up again the now broken homes.

TERRIFIC WIND
SWEEPS STATE;
Wires ALL Down
Hail Does Considerable Dam.
age in Eastern Nebraska;
Blizzard With Heavy
Snow in West.

Violent windstorms Sunday night
are reported from practically all parts
of the state. Wire communication in
all directions is crippled and the
meagre reports received indicate
considerable property loss.
The greatest damage. reports in
dicate, was near Elmwood, where
the storm reached the proportions of
a tornado, several farm houses were
badly damaged and telephone poles
leveled. The storm was reported as
far south as Nebraska City.
Every building on the farm of
George LEM, near Elmwood, was
destroyed. Mrs. Lenz was alone in
the house at the time. When she
heard the approach of the storm
she climbed into bed with her three
weeks old baby. The wind picked
up the bed, carried it through the
air for 200 feet and deposited it on
a pile of brush. Neither Mrs. LEM
nor the child was injured.
I1dll 11uItS wheat.
Hail, which accompanied the
storm, did considerable damage to
wheat fields and considerable live
stock was killed. Douglas, Cass and
Otoe were the principal counties to
suffer in the eastern part of the state.
Western Nebraska, Wyoming,
Utah, Montana and western Colo
RADIO were swept by a blizzard, a
heavy snow accompanying the high
wind. From two to II inches.of snow
was reported to the Union Pacific
along its lines in the western part
Of the state. From Murdoch to Den
yer an5 in the Black Hills country
the Burlington reports from E to 8
inches of snow.
The high wind drifted the snow in
the west but it has not interfered
materially with traffic.
The principal loss was to tele-
