The Salesman
A Vital Factor

WE believe in planning every advertis-
ing campaign in close contact with
each department of the advertisers organ
ization.
There is always thorough exchange be-
tween an advertisers statesmen and our
selves. We belieye "sales" to be real force
in developing successful merchandising
campaign.
Statesmen represent the points of contact
with the great distributing agents-they
are the eyes-the nerves-active forces that
enable comprehensive individual and in
telligent advertising treatment.
We secure our viewpoint largely through
the salesman. We hold salesmen's confer
ences in our Conference Room or at the ad-
vertiser's plant. We get the salesman's
viewpoint and he gets ours We 20 on the
road with him-study his selling problems
at first hand. The success of the merchan-
dising plan is largely up to the salesman
and we place our faith with him every time.
There is always vital appeal in the CAM
paign that makes success practically newt
able.
We search for that vital appeal with all
the thoroughness we are capable.
If it is kitchen product-our cooking
experts test it in our Experimental Kitchen
to bring out underlying facts for this vital
appeal-our investigators study competi-
tive methods of manufacture and sale in the
most exhaustive way with the same end
in view.

cred by the notices of judgment in
clude a shipment of sardines, which
were destroyed because they consisted
in part of filthy, decompDsed, and
putrid animal matter, and three ship
ments of olive oil adulterated with
cottonseed oil. An artificial vinegar
labeled as cider vinegar resulted in
the party responsible for the violation
being fined 500. One shipper who
failed to appear to defend himself
on the charge of adding water to milk
was fined 5000 and costs. A shipment
of milk from which part of the but

was made in answer to the charge by
eggs composed in part of filthy, de-

Seven actions under the Food and
Drugs Act were based on the charge
Of adulteration and misbranding Of
proprietary medicines Fines ranging
from $40 to $100 were imposed in these
cases, the charge being in the main
that there were false and fraudulent
claims as to the curative powers of the
preparations. Three prosecutions
were based on the misbranding or
adulteration of mineral waters which
were recommended by the proprietors
for the treatmen of various diseases.
In one of these cases, in which the de-
PENDANT entered a plea of guilty, a
nominal fine of only one cent and costs
was imposed by the Court.
Charges of short weight were sus-
tanned against shipments of macaroni
and spaghetti Short weight was also
established in one shipment of olive

Milky Way, Tribes
Victory Over Animals

In that long-ago time wnen the man
tribe and the animal tribes were
friends and there was only one Ian
guage, all the animals met in council.
They had heard how Sinti had out
run, outjumped and outfought every
animal he had met, and were afraid
he would make himself chief of all
the animals.
AS they talked against Sinti, al
at once he stood before them Be
hind him stood the man tribe.
81 heard what you ware saying"
said Sinti, "and you might as wei
give up, for man is your master. He
can do as he wishes-even kill you"
At this up jumped Kogai, the big
elk, and shook his horns in the giants
face.
Come on and fight" he shouted.
81 am ready to die right now"
Sinto grabbed the elk by his horns
and shook him so hard his teeth rat
tied.
There, you see you are no match
for me in fight. But as you have
the name of being the best long
distance runner on the prairie, / will
run race with you. If you win, no
man shall ever kill an elk. If I win,
men shall kill elk whenever they can,
and take their teeth and make beads
of them.
They agreed to go to the place
when Sun comes up on the edge of
the world and run from there to the
Sun-going-down place on the otheE
edge of the world. If the elk won he
was to run back on the sky and leave
no trail behind him. If Sinti won he
was to run back on the sky and leave
a white trail behind him, By this
the people would know which won the
race, for neither was to come back to
earth.

Ten actions were based on the
adulteration of tomato products, such
as catsup, PURGE, pulp, paste and the

that of decomposition resulting from
the use of moldy or rotten tomatoes
in preparing the products. The spe-

How Snow Flax IS
Aid Artists

Catching snowfakes as they fall
from the sky, and then photograph
ing them in order to obtain beautiful
and novel art designs of every de-
scription, is now successfully accom-
plished by science. Many hundreds
of snow crystals, Dr. Herbert P. Whit
lock, curator of minerology at the
American Museum, said, have been
photographed, and every fall of snow
brought new combinations of surpass-
ing beauty.
The falling snowfakes are caught
on black screen and the best results
are obtained by photographing them
out-of-doors. They are wonderfully
symmetrical in form. Forms of the
organic kingdom have played little
part in the development Of art mo-
tives, yet some of the mineral forms,
DR.. Whitlock believes, could be sue
cessfully substituted for those more
stiffly geometric patterns which for
centuries have been handed down as
part of our art heritage.
Snow crystals" he said, 'for many
years have been successfully photo
graphed and studied by w. A. Bent
ley, of Jericho, VT, naturalist of the
old school. Mr.. Bentley has devoted
many years to the study of water in
all it's forms in nature. In the course
of this study he has taken several
thousand Photographs of such subjects
as clouds, dew, and mist on natural
snowfiakes. He has been very sue
cessful in bringing out the beautiful
and intricate structures of these com
ponents of snow flakes, and his worl;
has been recognized by such a high
authority as the United States
Weather Bureau.
Beautiful as these natural objects
are and interesting from scientific

design of a geometrical character. A
glance over the many hundreds Of
photographs of snowfakes will show
that here lies practically an untried
field for the design of oil cloths, wall
paper, textiles, art embroideries, laces,
which can be extended to such appli-
cations as cut and etched glass,
jewelry designs, and even to such con-
ventional forms as stained glass rose
windows and carved or frescoed me-
dallions. The utility of these natural

Value of Green
Forage for Hogs

1t IS not good practice in trying to
grow or fatten hogs by using any Of
the commercial feedstuffs alone Or
to feed them corn alone in a dry lot
If forage cannot be obtained, it is adj
visable to feed corn 9 parts, and tank
age or fish meal, part. Shorts or
middlings can be added with good re-
suits, or may be substituted for the
tankage or fish meal. In such cases
the shorts or middlings should con-
stitute about one-fourth the total IA
ton.
The quantity of grain needed TO
produce a pound of gain is consider
ably lessened if the hogs have access
to green forage Corn fed to growing
shotes on rape should produce ! pound
of gain to every 1853 pounds of grain
fed. The addition of some highly con
centrated feed, such as tankage, meat
meal, shorts, or linseed meal, should
reduce by one-half to three-fourth OF
pound the quantity of grain neces-
sary to produce pound of gain.
These figures are based on the aver
ages of a number of feeding trials at
several agricultural experiment sta
tions. They were made with improved
breeds of hogs. Equally good results
should not be expected from unim-
proved stock, commonly spoken of as
'razorbacks" While the data are
somewhat conflicting, apparently as
good results as those given above may
be obtained while feeding hogs on any
nonleguminous green-forage crop
which the hogs eat as readily as they
do rape. The clovers and alfalfa fur
nish better hog pasture than the non
legumes.

New York-Although the wealthy
folk of the future are destined to be
"chauffed" in the air by their own
aviators in decorative, upholstered al
planes, the real woman student of
aviation will come from the middle or
professional class of Americans, says
Capt. Field Kindley, Adjutant to Col
Archie Miller, in command of aviation
at Hazelhurst field.
The women of the younger genera
ton between % and 30, are intensely
interested in aviation, and the womaL
of the Twentieth Century will not rer-
nit her desire to know more about
aviation to remain unsatisfed, CAPT.
Kindley said
"In virtually every instance in which
a woman has taken up aviation, to my
knowledge, she has been successful"
said the Adjutant. II have discovered
that when a woman becomes interest
ed enough in flying to learn to manage
& plane in the air she makes a more
daring and nervy flyer than the aver
age man. Ruth Law, who learned to
fly in the days of the cumbersome old
Wright plane, is undoubtedly one Of
the foremost of women aviators to-
day, and has inspired many others to
learn to fly.
1T may be surprising to the public
hut women followed the transcond-
mental race with far more excitement
and interest than was manifested by
the men. They crowded about the
fields for the hop off and landing, not
only here, but all the way across the
continent, and followed the course of
each aviator through the newspapers
much more enthusiastically than The
men.
zone reason for this marked differ
ence may be that many OF. the young
err men who were in the service saw
so many perilous undertakings in the
air that this is a little tame to them.
And. of course, it is the younger class
of people that becomes more excited
over undertakings of this kind, so the
middIe-aged and older men and women

In siXteenyears surgeons have just
about made Hubert Frederick of Bige-
low, Ark, over. He has had eleven
operations and various splints and
patches and now is recovering in a
Little Rock hisospital from an acct
dent that fractured his skull four
ways. He has had a lifelong series of
accidents.
The last and most serious happen
ing to the. youth occurred at the plant
of the Fourche River Lumber Com
pany at Bigelow. An engine blew up,
part of it striking a pile of lumber,
scattering it with great force. One
timber struck c. A. Porter, negro,
killing him Young Frederick was
standing two feet away and was hit
on the head by a flying timber. Al
the Little Rock Hospital it was found
a fracture extended from the front to
the back of his head with four smaller
fractures radiating from the point
where he was struck. The skull was
depressed and and a piece two inches
long by seven-eights of an inch in
width was removed and the skull
raised to relieve pressure on the
brain.
The operation was the eleventh the
lad has undergone When he was TWO
years old he fell into pan of boil
ing water and his arms were badly
burned He started to school at four
and was the pet" of older boys. One
day they were tossing him from one
to the other and he fell, breaking his
collar bone.
Seven years ago he and another boy
were racing horses. A woman with
a baby carriage stepped from the side
of the road and Frederick's horse
stopped suddenly, throwing him off.
The horse stepped on his right ankle,
crushing it.
Soon afterward the youth was
stricken with appendicitis. 1t re-

It Happens
In the Movies

Helen Howard charming little Uni
versal player, is firm believer in
Fate. AS a case in point, she cites
the fact that for four years she iried
to visit the Grand Canyon of Arizona,
hut that something interfered with
her plans each time. Four years ago
she made all arrangements to visit the
scenic wonderland, with a party of
school friends, when an epidemic of
sickness in the class made it necessary
to give up the trip.
Two years ago, on a visit east, she
arranged to stop over at the Grard
Canyon while returning to California,
but heavy SHOWS in Kansas caused the
train to be delayed several days, com.
polling her to change her plans. Last
August she was returning from visit
to Chicago, planning to stop off at the
Canyon, when the strike of railway
employees necessitated cancellation
of train schedules, again depriying
Miss Howard of the opportunity to
visit the famous gorge.
Imagine her surprise when, on being
cast for the feminine lead in the west
ern feature, "The Line Runners" at
Universal City few weeks ago, she
learned that the picture was to be
made at the Grand Canyon. The en-
tire compony, under the direction of
Norman Dawn. journeyed to Arizona,
and spent ten days visiting and shoot
ing scene in every corner of the
mighty gorge.
II would have accepted the engage
ment for nothing and paid for the
trip" remarked Miss Howard wnen
she returned to Los Angeles.

More Daring than the Men
All Women Who Take Up Flying Are Successful

are more or less Indifferent. So many
women became interested in aviation
during the war when sons, brothers
and sweethearts were in the air serv-
ice, and now they are stirred up when
they see a live demonstration of tie
kind of activities their relatives ex-
rerienced so recently.
"a few years ago you couldn't have
hired woman to get into an airplane,
as they looked upon aviation as
destructive invention of the devil
But today, if army regulations per-
mitted us to take women up in the air.
we would be rushed to death. As it
is, we have hundreds of applications
for rides in airplanes by women, and
we seldom ever have any from men
1t may be that the men don't ask be-
cause they know they would be re
fused, and it may be because wolncn
are more interested in the aerial
undertakings.
ut will be difficult for women to
obtain the training they desire in the
matter of learning the mechanism of
and how to pilot machines because, CT
course, they must be wealthy enough
to employ private instructors and to
own heir planes. l believe that the
army will never undertake to train
women, not because they would not
make capable flyers but, because con-
ditions in the army in the matter Of
discipline and social relations would
bar them. Besides, women could
never handle the heavy machines and
could not stand endurance tests such
as have been required in the trans
continental race. However, l do be-
lieve that it will not be many years
before many women will be piloting
light machines.
more women are studying aviation
in America than in any other country
Capt. Kindley believes. English
women are rather Indifferent to the
matter of learning to fly and the
French women are only casually in
terested. German women are coli
tinuing to study aviation, however.
