More or Less True

The ladies find that now, after they all got it, bobbed hair isn't what they want at all, and we ex- pect they soon will start raising Cain with the men for expecting them to do all the voting and hold all the offices and demand the 18th Amendment be repealed.
 The impression we get from some of them is that baby's tiny gar- ments now are being cut down to make street clothes for mother.

SAYS

Every thinking citizen wants to see his community grow, and most people are willing to get behind and boost" But from the letters people write me, it appears that they do not know how or what to do, or what to keep from doing.
 The problem that confronts every community is one of selling: you have to sell your town-sell people on your town.
 It sounds simple-and it is sim ple-when you know how.
 A few years ago I had the pleas ure of conducting a campaign to sell state In practically every town someone would say: That's simple and sounds like good idea, but who'll buy it?"
 The procrastinator and the fel- low who was satisfied with things as they were, would say, This is a pretty good town; why sell it?"
 And the knocker would chime in with, That is good idea. Sell it and get rid of it."
 Then there was the individual who said, Wal, we been gettin' along all these years without it, why should we change now?"
 Perhaps you think the same, as pertains to selling your commun- ity, but regardless of how you feel or think, the fact nevertheless re- mains that you must sell your community-sell people on your community-if the place where you live is to keep pace with modern times.
 For a community to me modern it must keep up to and ahead ot other communities If one com munity makes rapid strides to the betterment of living and working conditions, becomes more attrac- tive and interesting place to reside in, if it's people are happier, more content and more prosperous. it's up to other communities to profit by their experiences and not only do the same, but outdo them!
 To keep ahead-be modern-re- quires constant changing. Bruce Barton says. When we quit chang

The TOWN DOCTOR


ing, we're through" and to change requires salesmanship.
 Selling a town or community is like selling anything else: First -is there a market? Seconds it rketable-suitable for sale as is, so that when sold it will stay sold? Third-to whom is it to be sold-wholl buy it? Fourth how can it be sold? And fifth who'll sell 1.-the sales force.
 Answer these five questions; know the facts, and apply the knowledge to your town, and all problems of growth, progress and prosperity will come as a matter of course.
 These questions can be answered and will be answered-in this col umn, step by step. If you will read them. study them, and do your part, you will be the one to gain. In fact, it's up to you!
 You are to your town the same as a salesperson to a store The store may have good goods. excel lent stocks, right prices, good manager, and everything that a first class store should have; but, if the clerks are indifferent, not in terested whether they give you the service or not, do not know the stock and don't sell you the way you like to be sold, sooner or later completion with salesmen and sales women who know their stuff" and serve you the way you want to be served, will put that store on a back street or completely out of business, and the clerks looking for another job.
 Your newspaper, service clubs chamber of commerce, and other civic organizations can spend thous- ands of dollars and months of time but in the end it depends on you It's not a duty alone-it's busi- ness: good business if you do-poor business if you don't
 Yours is a good town-can be made a better town-so get sold or 1t.

Higher I. Q.s Backstage.
(New York Times.)

Beautiful and dumb words frequently linked that they have become almost nseparable in the public mind. It is taken for granted that the beautiful American girls who have been glori- fled the musical comedy stage are no great shakes when it comes to intelligence.
 Apparently they have been grossly malgned. They are not giddy, featherbrained creatures after all And the discovery that chorus girls really in- telligent has penetrated Paris Frontpage space is given to affirmative answer to the inquiry, are Hes femmes tres belles' intelligent?
 Dr. Wechsler of the Psychological Corporation of New York vouches for them. A great number of Broadway chorus girls have taken the psycho- metric tests which used to measure the in- telligence of American drafted during the The average intelligence quotient for doughboys not more than 61. For business it is 86, and 127 for men students and 130 for women students But number of American musical comedy queens rated I. @. worthy of of genius. One made 159 two others, both belonging to the ranks of ziegfeld beauties, 166 and 16S respectively Still another achieved the sensational figure of 184, a height reached by only in 300.
 The French reporter of these convincing statis- tics is so impressed that he looks for the early appearance of feminine Bergson Einstein from the ranks of the Broadway chorus girls.

CAUSES Of MERGER
ERA ARE STUDIED
Industrial Expert Finds CON-
binations Are Result of
Postwar Conditions.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 25.-Speeding of
communications and transportation,
says the industrial economist. Dwight
Farnham, Is an important factor in
stimulating the present tendency to-
ward great industrial and financial
mergers.
In an analysis of the present large
scale consolidation era submitted 70
the recent convention of the American
Management Association, Mr.. .Falnham
lists seven principal forces behind the
movement:
l. The overbuilt condition of INDUS
try after the war .s-eS'
2. The development during the war
Of mass production, which resulted in
the general introduction of scientific
methods in administration, finance,
sales and production.
g. The increased cost of equipment
required for mass production.
4. Improvements in technical rrac-
tice.
s., New inventions resulting from re-
search.
6. The high cost of distribution
caused by attempts to dispose Of the
increased output resulting from ma
tional advertising, high pressure sales
methods, national distribution and d.
rect contact with retailers.
z. Application of mass methods to
purchasing and retail distribution
through the medium of chain stores
This movement was further assisted by
the trend Of population toward the
cities, by the development and popu-
larization of the automobile and by the
growth OF hard surfaced highways.

GERMAN DOLLAR BONDS SAG
IN PREPARATIONS IMPASSE

German government has large invest
ment, and the bonds of the strongest
cities. such as Berlin and Frankfort.
Germanys public utilities, her great
electrical companies and her iron and
steel combinations have all at different
times in the last few years financed
their requirements with American dol
lars. These loans were widely dis
tributed in this country. Most of them
sold a premium a year or so ago.
Recently they have been dropping
steadily until they are well under their
cost price.
All the pressure that could be brought
on the German representatives in Paris
has been extended by international
bankers who have assisted Germany IN
recovering her credit and in supplying
the capital to re-establish her indus
tries. 1t has been plainly stated that
unless Germany agreed to the modifi-
cations proposed by Chairman Young
she need not expect to obtain further
loans in this country. Therefore, the
market for German dHlar loans is
being killed and unless there Is new
German attitude, 1t will be long time
before it is re-established.
