The candy industry is exceedingly
anxious to know the answer to some
of the problems which perplex its
members. Why, for instance, do the
people of one community demand

ponderant quantities, while those of
another community, only 200 miles
distant. eat few chocolates. but de.
YOUR bonbons with great relish, and
those of third community spurn all
excepting hard candies? There's an
answer somewhere - in predominant
occupation, in racial characteristics
of the populations, in altitude, which
affects temperature, or some such
factor.
Training Affects Buying.
It's decidedly expensive to attempt
to sell linen suits, regardless of the
temperature, in a community where
the majority of the population comes
of recent forbears who believed that
man was not decentIy clothed unless
his suit was made of wool.

BUSINESS men, aided by the Federal
Government, are removing guesswork
from their commercial transactions at
an increasing pace, with results which
are adding millions of dollars in saw
ingS to American consumers.
The tendency to organize research
bureaus to lower costs of production
or of distribution. or both. is approach
ing high tide. Under various titles
work in the field of science or of
statistics to get the facts.
When the Domestic Commerce Divi-
sion of the Department of Commerce
this week sent to the printer it's whole
sale grocery atlas, the result of
months of study of the primary and
secondary centers from which this
business supplies the requirements of
a population which not only must eat
but demands to be fed forthwith what
it desires. there approached the COM
pletion of another governmental con-
tribution to satisfy this increasing cry
of industry for facts. The study will
be ready for distribution within a few
weeks.
Finance Research Studies.
Business men are putting up their
own money for various research
studies. but they are depending also
upon the assistance of the Federal
Governments resources. Secretary
Hoover's department is bearing the
brunt of these requests, for that is
its lob. The wholesale, grocery atlas
is the first study along the particular
line followed that has been under
taken. It will be possible for a food
nroducer to look over this report and
determine the outlets open to him In
anv character of campaign-local,
sectional or national, intensive or gen
eral-that he may desire to under
take.
So many demands have been
made upon the department Tor
specific studies of COMMONLY
marketing problems that It wouio
he impossible to fulfill them all
with the present facllitles, IN tne
next half dozen years, even though
M other work were to be undertaken
in that period.
Studies already made by the
Domestic Commerce Division of the
market possibilities for paints and
varnishes and for electrical mer
chandising lines disclose facts which
no single firm of average size coule
hone to work out for itself.
Facts Simple But Vital.
MANY times the facts. desired bS
business men are simple but they are
vitality important. For instance, if q
paint manufacturer were planning q
sales campaign, it would be extremely
important to him to know the types
of buildings in various sections of the
country; not merely by a brief visua
impression, but as a matter of colo

Old Tyroleon Tradition

In the mountain districts of italian
South Tyrol a medieval taboo still
prevails which forbids a young man
of one village to fiirt with q girl Of

with severe beating some night on

known actor IN filmdom. Since then
he has altered his makeup from
