consular officials, that American ships officers are as efficient as British, Dutch or Scandinavians trained long to the sea. They show that the young American sailor can learn his work quickly, that a boy whose nautical experience three years ago was confined to pumping water for the cows on the farm or bath ing in the old swimmn' hole, can adapt himself to his ship well as a Nor wegian lad who has been trawling for fish since he first wore trousers.
 For short time, because of lack of Iroper charts and much inexperience ac- cidents to American ships seemed much more frequent than to those of other rationalities Now, this is changing. American born, newly-trained captains have no more trouble with their crews than the masters of ships flying other flags masters who have become na- turalized Americans in order to get an American ship. In fact, in many cases they have less.
 ' Not long ago, an American captain who was only 27 years old brought his tramp freighter all around the word, making money the voyage, and his crew had not a single complaint to rec ord against him"

 Native men are accustomed to rent a pipe to smoke while they sip their aft ernoon tea
 A policeman, if he finds pickpocket at work. may beat him almost insensible and then let his prisoner go

Pulp-Wo0d and Oil

Between the Canadian pulp wood situation and the Mexican oil situation there is striking analogy, according to the Nations Business
 Just as Americans acquired titles to petroleum in Mexico under the laws of 1884, 1892 and 1909, so Americans ac- quired land licenses in Canada under the Grown timber act of 1S49 In both countries were practically identical provisions that petroleum and timber belonged to the owner of the surface of the lands and might be developed as he saw it. The crown land license of Quebec gave and still do give "ali rights of property in the wood on the licensed lands and provide for indefi- mite renewals, American capital, rely- ing on these statutes in Canada and Mexico, has aided materially in the de- velopment of these countries.
 z When President Carranza came into power he caused new constitution to be adopted in which it was set .orth that ownership of petroleum was Nested in the nation, and it was held that this clause applied retroactively to all lands. In three Canadian prov inces. in 1900, 1910 and 1911. legisla- Ation was passed which deprived Amer icans of the right to export wood from crown lands
 Ther the parallel ends Americans and Canadians having fought as al- lies in the war, there is cordial friend Illness between the nations and there { hou1d be frank discussion of their mutual problems. responsibilities and opportunities.

Trick Salesmanship Dangerous

Arthur HI. LittIe, in LesIIe s.
 Experienced salesmen will tell yoI that the trick approach is dangerous thing. In the hands of bungler, it's two-edged sword In the hands or a dishonest salesman, of course it's entirely beyond the pale of ethical business
 "As a rule" said a successful sales manager, "salesmen would better stick to straight-out salesmanship. If you- merchandise is good, it will sell; yoT need not resort to trickery."
 Trick approaches may positively handicap your goods: many sale has been spoiled because, through the be- havior of the salesman, the prospect got distorted impression of kthe character of the concern behind the salesman. Unless you are skillful enough to handle it. the trick approach s worse than no approach at all.
