Those whe buy merchandise from q

whether they realize 1t or not. by that
trait in their nature which prompts
them to trust In the unknown rather
than in that with which they are ia

consciously. that they will draw a prize.
They do not know Whist they will get.
for Il Is impossible for one TO know
what he is going to get when he or

INCLINED TO TAKE CHANCE
Curious Traits in Human Nature Have
Made Possible Growth and OeSei-
opment of the Great Mail
Order Houses.

Copyright. 1917. Western Newspaper Union-)
A curious trait in human nature
makes itself apparent very frequently.
That is an inclination 10 trust in the
unknown rather than in that with
which one is familiar. A person is
very apt to take chance, even though
he may know that the odds are 100 TO
one against him. instead of being salts
fed with lesser rewards about which
there is no possibility of doubt.
1t is. possibly, the flaring up of the
ever-present gambling instinct but
there is something more in il than that
There IL in it the unexplained ten
dency on the part of most people to
reach for the chimerical and ignore
the tangible and substantial thing
which is near at hand. Man is sell
dom satisfied with those things that
are within his grasp but is reaching
always for the unattainable. Too Of
ten, he loses that which he might cas-
lily gain by blindly pursuing that which
is always just out of his reach
Why "con" Man Thrives.
Coupled. in a way, with his faith in
the unknown is the tendency on the
part of so many people TO place CON
fidence in a stranger in preference to
one who Is known and has been tried
and proven. II is this tendency which
makes possible the operations OF the
con" man. the get-rich-quick artist.
the INSCRIPTIONS promoter and the
salesman of worthless mining stocks.
The man who would not think of
trusting Bill Jones. his neSt-door
neighbor and fellow church member,
will confidingly turn over his life's
savings to a stranger who unfolds a
tale of riches to be won. Bill Jones
might talk his head OF In behalf of a
legitimate proposition without getting
= dollar where the slick stranger with
the worthless propositi q can get thou
sands
II is these two tendencies which. ap-
parently, are so widely prevalent
among all classes of people that have
made possible the success of the great
mail order houses in the big cities.
A knowledge of psychology is as i'm
portsut to the mail order man as
kuowledge Of business practices. He
plsys upon these tendencies Of man
10 take q chance. TO trust In the un-
known rather than the known. 10 place
confidence in the stranger rather than
the friend.

FARMERS OWN THIRD
+ OF CARS IN ALL j. S.

Invasion of the American farm by
the motor car is yearly becoming more
pronounced. Fifteen years ago, auto
mobiles were looked upon with stern
disapproval by the average farmer,
but today the "chunk-chunk" they
make in passing over the country
roads is as common a sound as the
mooing of cows, the clucking of chick
ems, or the quacking of ducks.
According to figures recently made
public by the Diamond Rubber Co..
Inc. one-third 2: all the automobiles
in the United States are owned by
farmers. To be exact, the number is
2.466,475. as compared with 1885,
269 in the entire country.
The figures show there are 80 auto
for every 100 farms through
out the country. Some of the states
where the number of automobiles is
comparatively low show the highest
average. In Nevada, where there are
only 3,427 autos owned by farmers,
there are 1877 for every 100 farms.
Nevada, with 1859 cars. has the
same average or 127 per 100 farms.
Iowa leads with the largest number
of farm-owned automobiles, having
1S4,796, or S5 for every 100 farms.

MAKE HIGHWAYS SAFE
IS NATIONAL DOCTRINE

Make the highways of the nation
safe.
From one end of khe country to the
other this doctrine will be spread this
spring during Safety First cam
paigns. Motorists and PEDESTRIANS
alike will be taught the stern necessity
of Watching out for the other fellow"
and thereyby reducing the number of
aviodable traffic accidents.
In each city where a campaign will
be held, police officials will cooperate
with civic organizations and the auto
mobile club. and they will be aided by
the field organization of the G. r..
Goodrich Rubber Company, the COM
pany which originated and populariz-
ed the "Safety-First" slogan.
The need for educating the people
in ways to prevent accidents was seen
by the Goodrich company six years
ago. The ''Safety-Ffrst'' slogan was
adopted as a catch-phrase likely to be
remembered by anyone who saw OF
heard it. To popularize the slogan,
the Goodrich carried it in all their
advertisements, placed in on sign
posts and bill boards, and in numerous
other ways brought it to the attention
of the people.
The Safety-Ffrst movement gained
ground rapidly throughout the coun-
try. One organization after another
took 1t up and launched campaigns to
make the safety-first principles more
widely known. AS result, the num-
ber of avoidable accidents began to
decrease appreciably. in spite OF the
increased amount of traffic on the
streets.
To-day, safety First" is one of the
most common expressions in the En-
glish language. Everyone knows
what it means, and tho principles 1t
stands for. 1t has caused people to
realize that nine-tenths of all traffic
accidents are ayoidable. 1t has taught
motorists and pedestrians that by OBJ
serving certain simple rules both will
be fenefited and the death toll from
accidents decreased.
To still further stimulate interest
in the Safety-First movement, the Ma
tional Traffic Officers Association has
made arrangements for cooperating
in all campaigns to be waged this
spring. Tho association will also hold
an exhibition of safety devices as one
OF the features of its annual conven-
tion in san Francisco next August a

for him in the Chevrolet organization.
Durant told him that he would place
him in one of the Chevrolet branches
on the Coast IL he would promise to
give up racing for all time. This was
easy for Pullen, and he was put to
work with the sales force of the Los
Angeles branch under J. z. Appleby.
recently appointed branch manager.
A number of followers of the race
sport asked Durant If he would not
consent to have Pullen drive occas-
sionally. in some of the big events. The.
young Sales. Manager. who is also a
racing enthusiast, said that for Pullen
to drive just one race. would be equal
to his resignation. Durant wishes to
develop an executive out of Pullen
and he feels that with his wide ex-
perience and wider acquaintance, he
will met with great success in the sales
branch of the motor car industry.

the Cole Motor Car Company through
its foreign trade department. In New

world markets.
Although is was impossible to ship
many care from this country. Pablo
HONS. expert manager of the Cole or
ganization, was able to establish rep
resentation at points throughout the
world. subject to the removal of re-
strictions on private trade enterprises.
Thus at the time of the armistice the
company had a sound basis upon
which to expand its foreign business.
Immediately after the wars end,
the Cole foreign trade department be-
gan to strengthen it's trade lines. In
