 One of the famous citizens oI
 Norway, pr. Fridtjof Nansen hat Ia distinguished career as an ex |plorer, zoologist. diplomat, humani. tartan and author, and while hi achieved notable successes in all those fields, he was perhaps best known for his expeditions into the
 Arctic regions.
 Science was enriched by his ex- plorations and his work as zoo- |logist: his country profited bS his |experience during his service as a diplomat; the lives of hundreds |were saved or at least their con- ditions ameliorated by his relief
 work after the World War, and the world generally was enlightened by his writings. The reaching ef- feet of all his works was indicated by numerous honors and decora- tions bestowed upon him by coun-
 tries in all parts of the world. Born October 10, 1861, at Froen, near Christiania (now Oslo) Dr.
 Nansen came of a family of na- tional fighters who in the seven-
 tenth century deprived the nobility
 of their privileges. He lived in his native town until he was fifteen,
 when his family moved to the na-
 tional capital. There the boy pre- pared himself in the lower schools
 for the Royal University of Chris
 tiania, which he entered in 1880 and made a special study of zoo- logy. It was while university
 student that he got his first taste of Arctic exploration, making a trip on the sealing vessel Viking to the
 waters of Greenland. After com-
 pleting his university course he
 made several other trips to the
 Arctic. tho most important being the Tram" expedition in 1893.

 to relief work after the World War,
 interesting himself particularly in

 Mir: Young added that he has never seen any town or city where the shopping public is as well versed on merchandise values as in New Britain, Especially the women"
 A. G. Hawker, automobile dealer, discussed the hiring of employees by one firm from another in order to obtain the latter's trade secrets. Business has no trade secrets any longer" he declared. "The public is too well versed in merchandise and values. The automobile makers do not patent ideas these days, they swap them. Business is done with open books. If a man isn't honest in business he is doomed from the start. The trick competitor is short lived. 1..
 Goods must be sold on a fair eX- change of value and profit Every business man must sell goods some times at cost to clean up old stock, but he must give value for his money or he cannot remain in business.
 Hugh s. McKenna, president of the club and head of the Hardware City Lumber Co.,, said: The buying public understands values and quail ty in the merchandise it buys regu- larly, but people do not know values of merchandise in what they buy but once in a lifetime"
 He told how property owners in New Britain and elsewhere were sub jcc, in times past to being cheated by fly by night concerns, misrepre- senting their merchandise, until finally the federal trade commission stepped in and reorganized the busi- ness of certain commodities until today everyone pays the same price for the same goods.
 J. C. Moody, head of the Moody Secretarial school, asked what the club thought about the practice of some merchants of advertising marked down sale' then marking down only certain articles, maintain ling the regular price for staple arti- cles.
 That is what is known as a sharp practice. If, you know what you are looking for you won't be fooled by that trick" commented MT Young. >'"
