THE FOREIGN BUSINESS OF AMERICA

above are only those included in the
first year curriculum at this univer-
sity.
1t is a fact that our Latin American
trade has . lock on 1t that Is turned
with the key of social graces. To be
a successful salesman In those coun-
tries. ono must be not only master
OF knowledge of what he has to SELL
but we'll versed in the social forms
so dear to the Spanish American heart,
and thoroly aware or the way our
southern neighbors prefer to do busi-
ness. Tho breezy type of statesmen

Central and South American mer-
chants. will have nothing to show In
the way Of orders.
In our own country. there are sales
men who will visit four or five towns
between dawn and dark. That method
in Latin America would result in alb
solute failure.
The salesman dealing with mer-
chants OF the countries to tho south
, must 20 slowly. Knowing this, many
large export houses in the United
States have brought men into their
home offices who have been trained
in Central and South America, men
who know not only the needs of those

as well. Tho judgment of these men
Is used In selecting men who prob
ably will make good.
HARDER TO LAND JOBS
with the realization that much moro
Is necessary than the agility to talk
and understand tho Spanish tongue, It
is becomksg harder each year to be
Chosen for commercial work in the
Latin American field. The standard Is
ever rising. II may DO truly said that
commercial scientists now ara in

American trade of tho United States.
American business Numbered into
many queer situations when 1t started
out to capture foreign trade. In ono
incident. a South American firm want
ed to purchase 10000 worth OF shirts.
1t sent a representative TO tho United
States to mako tho purchase. Many
concerns were interviewed. The foreign
buyer wanted n certain alteration made
in the style of tho shirts. Not ono OF
the American houses would consent TO
this. and in desperation the South
American agent sailed for England.
Even there the shirt makers would not
meet tho South American require

called told him that of course the nj

Too often American blindness to for.

By Associated Press

Highland Light, Mass, February S.-Eighteen of the crew of the Fur ness line freighter Thistlemore. which went aground last night on Peaked Hill bars, were rescued to- day by brooches buoy. Because of moderating wind and sea Captain Fortune and the remainder of the ships company decided to remain on board the vessel over night.
 Early today coast guards of the Peaked Hill and Race Point stations. who had been fighting high winds and heavy seas since early morning in efforts to take off the Thistle mores crew, rested from their la bors, as no more sailors would con- sent to leave the ship. The coast guards were standing by in the event of a change in weather again threat ening the steamers safety.
 The freighter grounded late yes- terday, and during the night fears that she was breaking up induced her captain to send out urgent calls for assistance. Owing to the high seas coast guards were unable to shoot line aboard until today.
 The Thistlemore left Boston yes- terday for New York to finish unload irg cargo Of freight from Liverpool. She registers ALAG tons. Coast guards tonight reported that the vessel was in no immediate danger.
