DIRECTORY ERRORS
 BLAMED ON PUBLIC
Information Solicitors Often
 Given Misleading Data

From four to eight per cent of the people approached, the ma- jority being among the English speaking races. fail to give correct information to directory makers. according to II. J. Farnham, vice president and general manager Of Price & Lee Co.,, of New Haven. who spoke to the New Britain Ro- tary club at the Burritt hotel today.
 He said the most interesting fea- ture of making a directory is the human element and the personal contact. The human element he compared to fire, the best of frien1s if controlled and the worst of ene- mics if not controlled.
 He pointed out many Of the diff faculties directory men have in the process of "Americanizing names" A name of foreign born family often changes from year to year as family might be known by an en- tirely different name within a year, he stated.
 He spoke of the effect upon the individual who opens a new direc- tory and finds his name spelled wrong, or the wrong initial or an initial left out, and how that indi- vidual immediately takes it for granted the whole book is wrong.
 Taking the word of one indivi- dual is not always advisable. he said, especially in the case of occupations. He explained that in this case there would be more superintendents than foremen. more secretaries than stem ogra phers and more general man. agers than floorwalkers.
 He dwelt for some length on the subject of fake advertising contracts manipulated by swindlers who rep resent themselves as working for di- rectory interests. He advised the Rotarians to sign no papers no mat ter how harmless they may seem, unless presented by 8 reputable firm with whose integrity they arc well acquainted.
 He said it takes force of six or seven people about a month to can vass New Britain. and another month to compile the figures. A start will be made here on DeCem- Der I, and the new directory will be out about the middle of Febru- ary, he said.
