NOTE TO BERLIN
PLEASING To
BRITISH
Papers Generally Commend
Reply Given to Germany
on Reparations.

LONDON. May Twin but few
exceptions British newspapers today
gave favorable reception III the
British reply to the recent German
reparatidns note.
The Chronicle, personal organ OF
Former Premier David Lloyd
George. called 1t a well conceived
document"
TT is mild and satisfactory 30 far
as 1t goes" said the Tory Morning
Post.
The Westminster Gazette raised
a dissenting voice, saying:
The Curzon note was even more
unsatisfactory than the German
document"
This paper pointed out that the
communication failed to support
Secretary of State Hughes proposal
for an impartial, international COM
mittee to fix the amount OF repara-
tions that Germany can pay.
The Daily Express said the Brit
ish should not hope for any immedi-
ate response from Berlin.
While the British document re-
jected Germany's offer of 81, 500
OO0, 900, II invited fresh proposals
from Germany couched in more
diplomatic language than the last
note.

by referring customers directly to the
clerk in another department with
whom the employee is cooperating.
Considerable time will be necessary.
before the plan may be put into sue
cessful operation, it was indicated.
Many of the ideas submitted sug-
gest that certain lines be carried. As
a general rule, the lines suggested
have been carried in the past, but
for the time the stock is temporarily
exhausted, it was explained.
Because many suggestions have
been made. it by no means follows
that all will be utilized. Each idea
will be considered by the management
and those thought to be useful will be
adopted. Up to the present time, only
few of the suggestions have been
adopted The others are still under
considerat on.
In the ~ lntime the suggestion box
awaits new material.

Suggestion Box at Joske,s - .,@
Brings Complaint on Sign

that a telephone be installed in the
vault. Not only would it serve the
purpose of the bell, but many steps
could be saved during the ordinary
course of the days business. Com
municatiOn between the vault in the
basement and the business offices on
the fourth floor would then be es-
tablished.
Inspires Idea Search
II one employe could suggest a
valuable idea, then there might be
other ideas to improve the efficiency
of the store. Perhaps the customers
of the store might suggest valuable
ideas TO improve service, the manage
ment reasoned. Why not take. ad-
vantage of thousands Of different
points Of view. Hence the Inaugural
ton Of the suggestion box. The great
Oped, are from the public. Many of
the ideas submitted were adopted
prior to the submission of them. Otn-
crs are of a nature than can not be
made public.
One customer suggested that the
salespeople familiarize themselves
with the prices advertised for each
day. The complaint has been made
that in several instances, clerks were
unaware that certain articles had
been offered at a reduction. The
customer suggested that the salespeo-
pie in the store be instructed to read
the advertisements listing the prices of
various articles in their departments.
This suggestion, however, is by no
means a new one, as the management
of the store state that they have
been attempting to get all of the en-
plOyes to study the advertisements for
each days bargains.

up that corner, she composed the fol-
lowing quatrain which she recon-
mends should be lettered in attractive
colors on a placard calling attention
to that department:

"Shoes we shine and remove spots.
drop in just any time;
Twill only cost a dime"
Better Pens and Penmanship.
1t is a well-known fact that pens
placed in the reach of the public soon
get an abominable habit Of scratch
ing and spluttering. The suggestion
has been made than good pens be sub
stituted for the WORKOUT ones placed
at the desk on the lower floor for the
convenience Of the customers in writ
ing checks. Along this line, a sugges-
ton was made that the clerks i'm
prove their handwriting. The sug-
gestion was also made that a station
be maintained on the first floor where
the customers might pay their month
ly bills. Another suggestion was
made that self-addressed envelopes be
sent with monthly statements.
Another customer suggested that on
cold days attendants be stationed at
the doors to open and close them for
the customers This idea. IL followed.
she indicated, would be Of decided as
Sistance to the customer who was bur
dened with packages.
One of the best ideas submitted,
the management believes, is the sug,
gestion by an cmploye OF the store
that a cooperative plan be worked

Also a Quatrain for the
Shoe-shine Corner Comes
to 1t Together With 9th
er Plans to Improve
Stores Service.

Since there are no Grecian urns in
San Antonio, John Keats. il he were
citizen of the metropolis of South.
west Texas, might draw from the cleo
rric sign overlapping Alamo Plaza,
inspiration fol the same poetical con-
cyptiOn pictured in his well-known
ode. Neither the figures on the urn
nor the figures on the sign get any
where, although the former are in a
state Of arrested activity, and the lat
ter periodically spring into life.
But the department store, for the
benefit of which the cowboy on the
electric sign twirls a mean lariat, be-
lieves neither in immobility nor in
limited activity. 1t is in a mobile
state of continuous and steady
growth,
This preamble is not irrelevant. Ii
calls attention TO the sign familiar to
all San AntOnians and to tourists
from every section of the United
States Many will be surprised to
learn that our old friends, the COW.
boy and the steer have been assailed
as being inappropriate. This attack
upon a characteristic sign of the great
Southwest, came from the suggestion
box placed by the management upon
the first floor of Joske Bros. depart
mCnt store, whereby suggestions from
customers and employees of the store
might be obtained and considered and
if found suitable, adopted, and there
by contribute TO the steady growth Of
the store. For each acceptable idea
submitted, the management pays one
dollar.
Would Change Famous Sign.
What connection has that sign
with dry goods?" inquiries n woman
customer. She suggested in substance
that the figures be eliminated and
suggests that n sign consisting OF
plain wording be substituted.
The management of the store sol
emily aver that they do not know
what the connection between the sign
and dry goods is, unless it is the
same connection that exists between
the sign and wet goods. In the good
old days, the cowboy worked for more
than one-half of l per cent. Since
Volstead came, the cowboy has worked
at two jobs. His first job was with
a creamery. and the second with a de.
partment store
Little did an employee in the JOske
Bros. bookkeeping department realize
that he was to be the indirect cause
of the criticism of the cowboy and
the steer; that he was TO be the in
direct inspiration of q quatrain in
spired by the shoe-shine corner; that
be was to be the indirect cause OF
many innovations, when he suggested
to the management Of the store that
telephone be placed in a new vault
in the basement.
During the course Of the construc-
ton Of the vault, the management Of
the store thought OF placing a bell
above the door of the vault. II any
person were locked in by mistake, he
could make his plight known TO those
outside. The bookkeeper suggested
