since the 9th of October, having been
battalion adjutant from early Septem-
Der until October 3rd, and was in

pleasant and the Office gives me more
prestige than any position held by a
captain.
Am glad to note from your letter of
October Goth, which came about 10
days ago, that you are busy, because
It gives hope of a good business after

our time.

vance sheets of the Supreme Court of
Washington, so that / might read up
some and get my mind back into law

the copy sent to you and then remail
it in strong wrapper. If not too ex-

BERLIN. Aug. 1.-The former
Kaiser first learned a military vic
tory for Germany was impossible on
August /, 1918, during a council at
Spa, it was revealed today in the
new German White Book.
Members OF the council who appear
ed to be nervous over the situation
strongly urged proposals to be made
to President Wilson after Wilson's
second note, which was regarded as
sharper than the first.
General Ludendorff pointed out II
was not likely the allies would pene-
trate the western front and favored
further lighting. Even if Germany
lost, he argued. she could not get
harsher terms than the allies had
already planned.
Ludendorff was overruled by the
council, which decided to accept the
allies terms. On November 10, 1918,
wireless messages were sent to the
allies with regard to notifications OF
the terms and on the following day
the armistice was concluded.

SHELVING is AS RESPONSIBLE FOR
SLOW SALES AS IS THE PRICE
BY THE MERCHANDISE MAN

grade Of ribbon at less than cost,
left a few pieces on the counter
and put the balance in the back
of the shelf, just twenty-four
inches from the front.
We then took our stand directly
in front of the ribbon counter and
waited.
The response was exceptionally
good, and in a. few hours the
pieces We left displayed were all
sold and the sales people so told
the customers who came late.
Every girl in the department
looked at the different grades on
the shelf, but not one discovered
the right one, which was back
twentv-four inches.
A few days later we fitted the
cardboard upright into the shelves
fourteen inches from the front and
advertised a new and complete as
sortment of ribbons at cost, and
again displayed a limited number
of bolts on the counter.
The response was as good as
the first day. and when all the
displayed bolts were sold, the
sales women turned to the shelv-
ing and began supplying the needs
from the hidden stock.
From that time on, ribbons were
kept in fourteen-inch deep shelves
and were not hidden or lost as
under the deeper measurements.
My next article will deal with
turn-overs from a research point
of view, and may give merchants
who read it new angle 10 think
about.

I was sitting in the General
Managers office going over in
ventory sheets, when the mer-
chandise man came in with three
or four bolts of ribbon that had
outlived its usefulness.
Here's a pretty mess" he said,
Charley Sash just found enough
of this stuff in the back of his
shelf to stock a small size notion
store"
"Well, what's Charley got to
say about it," l asked. Nothing
much" said the merchandise man,
"only he don't like the idea of
taking it in, when it should have
been sold during the pre-inventory
sale"
"Can't do anything else" said,
"but maybe we can arrange it so
that it won't happen again"
Now shelving doesn't ordinarily
appeal to the imagination, as a
place to spend or waste any time
on, but research work requires
looking into queer places for
non-results in order to get re-
suits.
The next few days was spent
measuring the depth of every
piece of shelving in. the store, and
then finding out what the proper
depth should be.
/ found that the present depth
in the ribbons was twenty-four
inches, and by taking a piece of
cardboard, which was cut to fit
upright in the rear of the shelf
| could arrive at the proper depth.
