WHAT OTHERS SAY
'wHAT DOES IT MEAN?.
(salem Journap

"What does it all mean?" asks the
oregonian of the policy of the ship
ping board under Chairman Lasker
which has ordered a paying Portland
steamship line to the orient discon-
tinued and the business transferred to
an Improbable San Francisco line,
thus making Portland port of call in
stead of home port. decreasing hel
shipping facilities ana building up
those of California.
The oregonian ought to know what
lit is all about. 1t has been an ardent
supporter of the policy of sidetrack-
ing experienced shipping men and re-
placing them with political lame duck
and 'wiggle and wobble' advertising
men. 1t had nothing but censure for
the previous policy which built up
Portland as port. 1t clamored for
a change and got it. Why kick?
Chairman Lasker declared in pub
lie statement that the loss of operat-
ing the shipping board last year was
$410,000,0 ,000. He did this to discredit
lut pEtNlouS duIiiHlSlIdllOu. DtlOTe
the senate investigating committee,
however, he was forced to admit that
the loss Of operation lasp year was
s1S1, 900, and estimated his own
loss for the coming year at s300,000,-
900 which furnishes a fair sample of
his business capacity.
Another example of Lasker's eff
cheney is shown by employing offici-
ais at $4,000 year, who few
months ago received but $500 for
the same work. and engaging a great
many lawyers at $4,000 a year each
to defend suits against the shipping
board, when the highest priced law
yers of the federal departments draw
$4,000 and less.
The GROWING achievement of the
Lasker regime is the selling of 205
ships that cost the government $685.
600 apiece, for s2,1OO each, showing
that the Lasker plan of economizing
is to give away costly ships. just as his
plan of operation is to discontinue
paying lines and keep the money
losers.

families, and behind them is a row of
men who act as chorus.
When the rites begin the chorus COM
mences to sing, at first low, weird chant,
then gradually rises to piercing intensity.
Then the man behind the screen takes up
the eiiy of the great snake and thrusts it
rapidly through the opening number Of
times, accompanied by the unearthly and
discordant wailing of the conch shell. The
priest directly in front Of the screen takes
little sacred meal in his hand, holds it to
his mouth, uttering deeply significant in
vocation to the serpent, and then casts the
meal on the head of the efigy.
One by one all the members present
make their prayers to the hostile serpent
god. So ends the first half Of the drama,
and on the morrow, or the New Year, be-
gins the great sun dance. On opposite
sides of the chamber there stand rows of
men, bearing shields with elaborate SYM
bolic designs. At the end of the room, all
alone and unsupported, stands the sun
bearer, awaiting the onslaught of his horde
of enemies. A signal and the song begins,
and the lines of warriors on each side of
the room surge against the sunbearer in
attack. Eventually he scatters and van
quishes his many foes. New Years day
finishes with feasting and jolli6cation.
The Aztecs of Mexico and Central
America had bloody and complicated
ritual for their celebration of the return of
their masterful war-god, the sun. We
find scattered through the tangled jungles
of Yucatan many huge ruins of the won
derful pyramid ceremonial edifces upon
which horrible sacri6cial atrocities were
practiced in heralding the New Year.
The Aztec has vanished from the face of
the earth. The jungle has swallowed up
the sun-god's altars.
The ceremonies occupied period of
several days. The .initiatory rites began
before daylight Of the first morning, when
the chief high priest and his sub-dig-
The mirror., 1921-12-29

nitaries wended their way in solemn pro-
cession to the top of their pyramidal sane
taasy. Here the high priest retired alone
to small temple, whose doorway opened
toward the east, and as the rising sun Grim
soned the sky he knelt and sprinkled thick
ly upon the marble floor the sacred meal.
As the first rays of the sun strike slant
~ingly across the floor of the tiny temple,
the bended priest beholds miracle. Faint
ly, at first, then stronger and stronger,
grows an imprint in the meal of the naked
foot of their war god. Upon this miracu-
lous manifestation the high priest an
nounces to the assembled couriers that their
god had returned to them, and that the
grand festive occasion is inaugurated.
The first feast rites were of grewsome
and horrible nature, consisting mainly of
sacrificing youths to the gods. 1t is said
that they were feasted for days previous to
the ceremony, that they might be in
pleasing condition upon their last and the
war gods first great day. In other cere-
monies human beings were killed and
Aayed, and the participants in the sacrifice
enveloped themselves in the bloody skins
of the victims, while they took part in a
frenzied dance.

COMMERCIAL SELLING
By Mr.. M. y. II.

HE opportunities today tor the man
who can sell are without doubt far
greater than any of those that may
be found in some of the other professions
or trades in the commercial world. The
entire business world today is in need of
men who can sell things; there is place
in any manufacturing plant for the man
who can market products; there is nobody
in greater demand than the efficient sales
man and he is seldom, if ever, out of a
job. A mere verifcation of this statement
might be made by stating that the average
number of daily calls for statesmen through
the want-ad columns of one Chicago daily
alone, is approximately three hundred. 1t
is the statesmen who keep the wheels of in
dustry moving and consequently it is they
who bring about business prosperity.
The trend of time has brought about
decided change in the selling game as
we'll as in other branches of human indus
try. 1t requires better trained and
higher grade man to sell goods today than
it did formerly, and for this reason sales
man-ship has become to be regarded as
one of the leading professions. Years ago
a salesman's success depended largely upon
how many good stories he had to tell or
how good a spender he was. The sales
mans coming was looked forward to Is
red-letter day by the country merchant;
for he very seldom made trip to market;
hardly knew what was going on in the
city, and so regarded the statesmen as q
reliable source for obtaining timely news,
and information on general market prices
and conditions. There was very little
competition to speak of and so the sales
man had little difficulty in securing good
order. The growth of business and gen
eral prosperity brought on keen competi-
tion which tended to place salesman-ship
on higher plane.
Today we find colleges and universities
throughout the country training men for
the selling profession, which shows that
they have recognized need of better trained
and better educated men to fiji the ranks
of the statesmen. 1t is needless to say that
training in salesman-ship is as essential a.
in any other business. The unframed
man may succeed for time, getting re-
suits here and there, because of having
natural selling ability and unconsc;ously
using the right methods. The trained
man is getting results regularly because
he is consistently using the right methods.
The born salesman is not 50 much 10
vogue as formerly. Business has become
a science and it is scientific salesman-ship
and hard work that gets the orders today.
1t is true that just as certain people are
born with the natural gifts for music and
for art, so certain men have in high
degree the natural qualities which enable
them to succeed in selling. 1t is folly to
dispute the fact that men so gifted, do not
have certain advantage over one not
having those natural qualities; however,
it is self-evident that with the right coach
ing and training one can acquire that
'knack' of selling.
The life of commercial traveller is re-
garded by many as being life Of ease
and pleasure. Travelling and meeting
many different people, stop page 4. Got. -
