Read Your Character
By Digbv Phillips
Selling the Hard Customer

BY the hard" person the character
ologist means the person whose flesh is
hard and unyielding. How to recog-
nize this type, with an explanation Of
some OF the characteristics of such
peope. has been retailed in another
article. There arr, however. some very
definite rules for dealing with people
Of this class which must be added.
In business life you look for the
"hard' nan in some such line as
bricks, metal. stone, hardwood and the
like. 1t may seem r-fetched, but It Is
none the less true that the man with
hard flesh has a liking for hard sub
stances. They appeal to him.
II you are trying TO sell him some
thing remember that he is rigid dis
ciplinarian. You won't get far by
making free and easy with his Office
rules, particularly in interruptins the
work OF his employees. Waste no time
appcaling TO his synpathies. II he
las any he locks them up during bust
ness hours. Instead, it is well to open
no by an appeal to his judgment on
some minor matter. He's hard man
TO influence. and the line Of least re
sIstance is TO let him feel that he is
having his own way and dominating
the situation. Present your PROPOSE
,ion in such way that, if he accepts
il. he can do so with the feeling that
be is doing something economical, con
ycntional. simple and useful 10 himself
that he Is doing something from which
the beneficial results will last Ions

itself sturdy, hard and durable.

WHAT'S WHAT
Bv Helen Dccie

Men and women who have not nao
the advantages of early training In the
fine points Of good behavior are often
at a loss how to act on occasions winch.
for some reason or other, they believe
to be embarrassing circumstances.
For instance. what is one to do when
coming suddenly upon an uncongenial
acquaintance or former friend: IT
there is no sign of recognition on either
side. all is we'll. but il a salutation OF
any sort is made, it must be returned
with some degree of civility.
The most ill-bred way to act in such
case is to dodge recognition. to scurry
to one side with a furtive air. like a
thief afraid CT detection, to pretend to
admire something in shop window.
or to be guilty of any other affectation
OF not having seen the unwelcome pass
erby. A subterfuge Of this sort is trans
parently cowardly and undignified
evasion of straightforward action. A
weil-bred man or woman Is never en-
barrassed by unexpected encounters
Awkward situations are possible only
when manners are awkward.

Why Jewels Are Used in Watches
By II. J. and 4. W. BOdmcr


The placing of jewels in a watch
movement is often misunderstood. even
at the present day. Many people do
not know why jewels are used in
watches, assuming that they are In
tended for ornament or in some way to
increase the value. Most of the jewels
in watch movement are. however,
placed out Of sight. and. although they
often consist of rubies or sapphires,
they are so tiny and their'actual value
is so small. that no watch requires more
than a dollars worth of jewels to en-
title it to be called full jewelcd'
watch. The jewels are strictly serv.
iceabfe in their purpose. A pivot. or
bearing. running in a hole drilled in a
jewel. creates almost no friction and
requires so little oil that a single drop
as big as a pinhead is enough for an
entire watch. Because jewels are 80
hard and smooth. a watch with jeweled
bearings runs better and wears less
than one in which the jewels are lack
ing, and does not require SO much power
to drive. Jeweled bearings were first
introduced into watches by Nicholas
Facio, a Swiss.
The first watches had only one hand
the hour hand. and were therefore moi
very accurate indicators Of time.
One Of our common barnyard ami
mals--the hog-cOntributed something
toward the improvement in early
watches, !. e., he furnished briste
which eventually became the first hair
spring In watch. The brstle worked
very well and served to demonstrate
the correctness of the principle involved
The next step was, Of course, the subst
tuition of a steel spring for the briste
and this led to the use of the coilet
hairspring, as it Is used today.
