Selling is a profession generally I'M
appreciated by the public. The aver
age person looks upon a salesman as
him as "a peddler." But you have the
same thing to contend with in the SELL
ing business that you have in other
professions-the good are often judged
by the bad.
A first-clasS salesman, is instantly
recognizable. He is courteous, tactful
and well informed has a practical abil-
ity to understand conditions and Is
considerate Of his prospect. He Is q
good listener as well as a good talker
His approach is frank and his selling
methods are honest. He likes you, is
interested in you and seeking to learn
your needs.
Necessity is the great motive for his
desire to sell you. but not the only one
A true salesman loves the game, likes to
meet people and really has their inter-
est at heart. He is hard worker, and
in order to succeed must live g clean
wholesome life. He has his successful
days and his days of failure. He has
his triumphs and his heartaches. He
does not expect to sell you as soon as
he talks to you-he may never sell you
But he considers his time we'll spent II
he has interested you. His products are
Of unquestionable merit and always
useful.
The good salesman is a specialist In
his line, and his life is dedicated tc
serving you. BY serving you honestly
he is earning his living, and also help.
ing you to fulfill dreams. Yes, helping
you to realize the fulflllment Of dreams
your foreparentS neyCr even dreamed Ct.
The good salesman Is to the CONNER
cial world what gas is to an automobile
He Is the moving power behind every
marketable product. Without him com.
merce would become stagnant and pros
perity q myth.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

Sylvia.
"Oh, where Is Sylvia?" I inquired
A lady that's so much admired
That 1t becomes the songster's biz
To ask the public who she Is.
Is she In some poetic bow'r
More radiant than the Maytime fiow'r?
All, no, from her mamma, learn
When draw near and then return,
Sylvia is at the base ball game,
A horse race her attentions claim,
A prize fight she observes with Joy,
A jazz dance doth her grace employ.
Oh, who with Sylvia can compare7
She's here and there and everywhere

Center Market.

BY the signature yesterday OF Joint
resolution OF Congress, the President
condemned the Center Market to de-
struction, to make room for q public
building. The sentence may not be ex-
ecuted for six months, but unless there
is change Of the law, through another
enactment with Executive approval, the
market will be RACED not later than the
first Of the coming year. II the ground
is required earlier 1t may be destroyed
upon two months notice, but that no
tice may not be given until September
/, so that In any event the landmark
cannot be removed and the food-vend-
ing establishments dispersed before
November /.
Although the improvement for which
this famous center of marketing Is
so soon to be eliminated Is high
ly important and welcome, the passing
Of Center Market is to be regretted. II
has stood In its present form for many
years, and for long before this site was
the scene Of enterprise In the buying
and selling of food wares that was 9
picturesque and vivid feature Of the
city's life. In the old days Center Mar
ket was q place Of social gathering and
communion. It was almost forum.
In the course Of time the market be-
came less and less Of Q social institution
and more Of business place, o neces-
sary and q useful mart for the public
convenience. With the development OF
telephone service personal attendance
at the market lessened. The corner
grocery" took q large percentage Of the
trade. And In later years the trafnc
congestion still further diminished In
dividual marketing" as 1t became more
difficult for housewives to go In person
for their supplies.
But these changes did not destro!
the charm Of the market or lessen it
lure for many WashingtonianS. 1t ha'
| remained q center of public interest
and had It not been for the need o.
site clearance to permit the location
Of q Government building this estab.
| lishment would doubtless have remained
intact, perpetuated, and perhaps ex
panded, as q feature Of the community
| life.
The signing of the joint resolution
serves notice Of six and half months
in all likelihood, that the occupant
Of the market must abandon theil
stalls and find accommodations else
where. No provision Is made and nom
Is likely to be made hereafter for I
municipal market, similar to that which
is soon to be removed. Private enter
| prise may create o new center Of foot
vending, and other market establish
ments, not fully occupied, will probabl!
be used by the ousted merchants.
The loss Of the market structure
once regarded as attractive, will b
easily borne by the community. 1t 4
"out Of the picture" today. Its success
sor, the new Hall of Archives, will b.
a monumental, attractive creation, har
monious with the great scheme Of Gov
eminent housings that are now in tn
course Of erection. Washington Wi
miss the market, but will welcome 1t
successor.

Of control or commissions ap-
pointed by Federal or State 1egis-
latures. For that reason, their
activities are not directly classi-
fled with industrial corporations,
though some investment experts
draw no special distinction be-
tween them and private indi-
Vidual corporations.
Investment in bonds in sound
and profitable corporations is
without doubt the best method of
employing surplus funds Of
American investors and investing
institutions in the great enter
prises of the country without
sharing, in all hazards of such
enterprises. An investor will not,
of course, deliberately loan his
funds to an Improbable COM
pany, but even here It is posi-
ble to so safeguard the issuance
of bonds that funds can be re-
covered in case Of failure of the
Company concerned. A first =. IT

ness world can provide.
The investor in such bonds per-
forms a double service. Not only
does he secure for himself a
satisfactory income, but, through
the employment of his surplus
funds in industry, he makes his
contribution to the building up
of national enterprise and in
creases the productive facilities of
the country. BY the wise invest
ment of his funds the investor Of
large means may be as prominent
fSctor in the prosperity of
the country as the individual
who makes direct use of these
funds.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-It is OBJ.
vious that no hard and fast rule
can be laid down as an infallible
guide to the safety and attrac.
tiveness of corporation bonds.
They must be regarded in their
individual relationships, with
many different factors entering
in, such for example as the
method of their issuance, the
security behind them. the finan-
cial standing of the issuing com
panies and the position OF the
bonds in the capital structure OF
the corporations.
There are many varieties OF
corporation bond issues, some OF
them presenting the investment
of funds in tangible property not
directly related to the success OF
the business of the companies;
some the investment in specific
form of plant and machinery
which would not be so valuable
If detached from particular in
dustries; some resting on nothing
more than the established credit
of the corporations by which
they we're issued.
The first and second may gen.
orally be regarded as mortgage
bonds, the third as debentures.
Mortgage bonds are further classi-
fled in relation to their standing
and priority, whether, for ex-
ample, they represent a first or
second lient on Salable property,
or whether some other obligation
holds a prior position in case OF
forced distribution or assets.
For purposes of classification,
investment corporation bonds are
divided into three main groups:
/. Railroad bonds, including OBJ
legations of steam railroad COM
panies, electric railroad compa-
nies, interurban traction com
panies, and. where not directly
controlled by a municipality or
State, street railway bonds.
2. Industrial bonds, including
the bonded obligations of manu-
featuring companies of every
character, steel, copper, oil, sugar,
shipping and other industries
which play such an important
part in the building up of the
business of the country.
8. Public Utility bonds. In gen.
eral, public utility corporations
are organized to furnish a spe.
cific service for every member of a
large community, such as provid.
ing Of light supply. power, trans.
portation. ETC.. and are under
the direct supervision Of boards
