OPPOSITION WORKING
OVERTIME TO DEFEAT
EMERGENCY TARIFF

Washington, Jan. 11-Hearings on
the Fordney emergency tariff bill
were concluded by the Senate finance
committee tonight after another dap
of appeals, either to be excluded or
included, had opened up what sup
porters of the measure feared, and
opponents hoped would be the means
of adding amendments to the bill as
it passed the House.
Senators McCumber of North Da-
kota and La Toilette of Wisconsin.
Republican members of the commit
tee, at the conclusion of the hearings
announced that they had statements
to make relative to the subject mat
ter of the tariff. These will be read
at q session Thursday when. it was
indicated. several other senators
would also declare their attitude.
Germ the wheat duty, he said, and Mr.
LaFollette said his would be with re-
spect to cheese. on which the bill
porvideS no additional protection.
The close of the hearings brought
indications of concentration of ev-
cry effort among opponents of the
bill and the turbulence with which
some of them discussed the question
was accepted to mean that they
would go far in their fight against
passage of the measure which is de-
signed as an aid to farmers Already
dozen amendments are pending
Some of them, their sponsors openly
assert, are intended to be facetious
but for the direct purpose of taking
up the time OF the Senate and It pos
sible of killing the bill. Senator
Thomas of Colorado and Harrison of
Georgia. Democrats. said today that
they would seek to have the soldier
! bonus and immigration bills tackled
onto the tariff measure as amend
mentS.
Another senator, il was reported,
| was preparing TO introduce an amend
mcnt which would include the bill TO
re-codify the Nation laws and to
demand that this amendment be
read. 1t is a document of sufficient
length to keep reading clerks busy
for two weeks.
Efforts also are being made on be-

ADVERTISING CREATES
INFORMATION UTILITY.
Arthur Freeman Tells Associ-
ated Advertising Clubs at
Atlanta Convention.

Atlanta. Ga. June t5.--Sclling is
teaching. II YOU induce man. through
persuasion or influence. to buy what
he should not have or cannot use, YOU
make a sale but lose his friendship.
The ideal situation would be one in
which all store sllespeople were teach
ers. explaining and demonstrating
merchandise so as To show the pros
pcCtiVe buyer the usefulness of the
goods. thus creating demand while
also eliminating the risk of selling
people. Permanent business founda-
tions are built through sales which re-
suit in complete satisfaction.
Arthur Freeman, of the Affiliated
Retail Stores. with headquarters in
New York City. but operating inn
portant stores i'm many cities, declared
In an address before the convention
of the Associated Advertising Clubs
Of tho World here. that this is the most
modern and best thought in selling
merchandise,
Speaking upon the necessity for hct-
ter training OF store sales people rs
means FOR making advertising more
productive. he cited numerous eXperi-
ences To show that goods well sold
arc worth more 20 the purchaser.
Economists. Mr.. Freeman said, tell
ms how transportation adds 10 the
value of goods by creating place util-
ity. and how manufacturing adds to
value by creating form utility. \ ton
oC coke is OF more value on side
track at the point where il can be
used 4 ton of steel is OF greater value
when made into watch springs.
In like manner. advertising creates
information utility, lie said. Through
advertising and proper salesmanship,
the customer is made to understand
the merchandise and to make better
use of Il.
Mr.. Freeman held in his talk, that
in store educational work too much
attention is paid to the rote Of teach
ing and too little 20 the idea of show
ing thc sales person how to make his
81 hcr work the vehicle through which
may come a bigger. better, fuller and

In accordance With the snuounoem.n,
made, DR.. A. o. Thomas, state supsrip.
'eodens OF sehools, spent Q day and :
aight With the people OF Paris last THUR
day. Daring the day, In company with
members OF the school board, the special
school housing committee, and othor
interested citizens, he visited q humber
OF the schools OF South Paris, West Paris
and Paris Hill, and some Of the rural
schools, and spoke In Q pleasing way 10
the pupils at the several schools, besides
naslng full inspection OF the schools
and the bulldiogs.
In the evening DR.. Thomas spoke at
the Baptist church 10 an audience whicb
nesriy niled the auditorium Of the
church. It was an inclusive address,
dealing not only with local conditions In
the town, but with the theory and prsc-
tice OF education of the child, and the
changes which are being made In the
work. He advocated broader curricu.
'um In order that each pupil might find
the work to which he is best suited and
tor which be has gift. Perhaps 1t is
inaccurate to say that he advocated this;
it would be better to say that he stated
II az necessary part Of the present-day
education.
With regard 10 local conditions, DR..
Thomas was entirely frank, saying that
We had fine body of pupils, "but some
pretty bum schools" In this he used
;he word schools as applying not to the
institutions or the spirit Of them, but to
the buildings and equipment. In answer
to question from one of the audience,
he expressed the opinion that In the
matter Of housing facilities, Paris Is
about on an average with the state az q
whole. Many of the buildings, erected
, ears ago, do not conform to present
standards of lighting, ventilation, santa
ton or school administration.
Superintendent of Schools Gsrcelon, |
who presided st the meeting, invited |
questions, and several questions were
asked DR.. Thomas formally before the
meeting closed, aud others informally |
after 1t adjourned, all of which be an
,wered freely and frankly.
As stated by him In his remarks, DR..
Thomas was not at that time prepared
10 make definite recommendations to
The town, but he promises to do so In
he near future. He also says thas he
will make more than one suggestion, so
hat II what he considers the best recon-
nsndatiou does not meet with approval
mother may, or even third. he hint
I'd that he might suggest q program
which could not be accomplished all at
'ucs, but which IL might take ten years
'r some other period to bring to COM
,letion.
DIR. Thomas earnestness, his evident
smiliarity with school problems, and
lis pleasing manner Of presenting his
thoughts in q somewhat informal sd-
lress, left good impression with all his
hearers
