 There were about 50 at the luncheon including the members and guests and several visiting Rotarians. Lucius Briggs. president of the club, presided at the meeting and Henry LaFontaine was the pianist. Eben Learned acted as song leader. One of the most pleasing feA- lures of the meeting was the introduction of new song which was much in vogue at the Edinburgh convention. This song was presented by William G. Park. who recently returned from the Edinburgh convention. The song is about a Scotch man who had farm; on the farm were chicks, turkeys, ducks, pigs, and, last of all, an automobile. When sung in chorus it makes corking good barnyard melody furnishing an endless amount of fun.

RorARIANs HEAR TALK
 ON MODERN sALEsMANsHTP

The Old Fashioned Salesman versus the Modern Salesman was the subject of a highly interesting and instructive talk on craftsmanship delivered by Frank L.
 Wood of Scranton, Pa. at the monday luncheon of the Norwich Rotary club on Wednesday at the Wauregan hotel. Mir. Wood is instructor in salesmanship and during the past 10 years has taught salesmanship to at least 35,oO0 students. MT. Wood was introduced by John J. Me- Auliffe, who had charge of the latter part of the meeting.
 Mir. Wood in his opening remarks told of how the old fashioned salesman was ''one of the bo-s" in every town he went into. He could give the track records of every horse on the circuit. knew those of pugiIistic fame by their first names, and his chief stock in trade was a good story or two to get his customer in good humor before opening his sample case. The old fashioned salesman with the checkered suit and loud tie is gone, and in his place is the earnest, sedate, businesslike sales man of today. What has brought about this change? In the old days a youngster was given a sample case, a wad of ex- pense money and a little fatherly advice
 and told to get out and sell the goods. Sometimes he made good and others fail | ed to cover their expense money. Today the young man is not thrown out on | field and told to work out his own saliva i ton or get through. He is trained, and il | is the training that counts.
 | First he is taught to know himself
 and to develop d selling personality. 4 | knowledge Of himself, a complete under standing of his goods and the technique | of selling are the three principles taught
 to these salesmen A knowledge of him | self and the goods give the salesman q confidence, and confidence breeds en. 1 thusiasm. and enthusiasm is ontagious l When the salesman approaches a GUS
 toner he makes two appeals, one to the
 heart and one to the brain. The first il | an appeal to the emotions and the secont
 to the brain by presenting a logical req
 son why the goods should be purchased Many buyers will present objections anC the salesman has two classes into whicl
 he must put the objectors, The first i the one where the buyer is trying out tn salesman and the second is the put off to get rid of the salesman. The salesman ] must think instantly in which class hi prospect should be placed and thel
 should proceed to overcome the objection
 offered and get back to his sales talk
 The motto of salesmanship is the sam as that of Rotary-Service. Service what makes a satisfied buyer and, as on

meriy. All women will be interested to know that h being enrolled for the tax, they will be obliged to give their ages. This is a ticklish question with many males as well as females. When the names are enrolled, entry Is made of made of place of residence, age. place of birth and occupation. Those data are filed with the town clerk
 It is thought that there will be some difficulty at the outset in collecting the tax from women as many are not fa- milisr with the law and are not regis tered as voters. The law applies to all women, whether they are voters oT not. In good many households thelN bur- den of taxation will fall on the heads of families. There will be not f<w int stances where the head of thet tffamilt has a wife and daughter or daughters subject to the tax.
 Another interesting feature of he new law Is that while many men win be ex- empted from the personal tax byNreasor of service in the military or fire de- partment they will have to pay the tax for their wives.

The traffic men on the road say that the summer of 1921 had shown the New Haven road the biggest hot weather passenger traffic since before the war Last year the war horror was begin ming to be forgotten and this year the summer wanderlust is on in full force Hence is seen the heaviest passenger 1 transportation problem that the New Haven road management has found since the road was taken over from the l government.
