Within the doorway most elegant
lady is in waiting, gray-haired, alert,
beautifully gowned, smiling, and gra-
cious as a princess if princesses are
really gracious as they should be. Her
business is to find out yours and to
make suggestions or give directions
and so to conserve your time. She
does this more as a friendly hostess
than as cold, naughty and mechan-
ical floor walker would do. She puts
one into a pleasant receptive frame of
mind at once, which am sure is con-
ducive to trade. In the little shops
with which the great store is filled
there is the same sort Of friendly
greeting as one steps within the door

emulate. should feel that If l visit
ed London without going to Liberty's

I always want to go back to see If
the gracious lady is still standing to
receive me within the door.
The merchant who wants to en-
courage trade should place something
attractive just within the door.
Whatever business one is going to
transact. social or financial, one al
ways likes to find friendly hand or
a cheerful Office boy within the door.
The reception committee at church at
social function can put one into
very pleasant frame Of mind. There
was a time when Nancy and went to
parties given by young people that we
were met at the door and greeted as
if our coming gave some one pleasure.
1t is seldom so today. One finds his
way about as he can. There is no
gracious host or hostess within the

Women Inventors Increasing

The number of applicants from
women for patent papers has in
creased greatly in recent years.
When the last detailed analysis was
made, women were applying for pat
ents at the rate of about 500 a year,
but it is known to have increased
considerably, since recently large
number of women have entered in
dustrial life. AS might be expected,
the highest percentage of inventions
Of the number studied few years
ago confined themselves to domestic
devices, but great many applica-
tions are now from the realms Of
metallurgy and other higher tech
meal fields.

RACKETEERINC In
ADVERTISING IS
FR0WNED UPON

The merchants committee OF the
FL Centre Chamber OF Commerce
is much concerned over the sudden
influx Of advertising racketeers who
have, within the last few days, in
Yaded El Centro and who are hot
footing" it from store TO store in
efforts to sell highly questionable
advertising. Improperly claiming in
many cases to represent the
churches of El Centre, these ad-
vertising racketeers go from door
to door urging the business men Of
FL Centro TO take advertising OF
little value 10 the merchant.
In some cases a small percentage
or contribution is made 70 the
church but in other cases the
church receives nothing at all, but
the use of the church name gives
the salesman an entire and insures
him consideration which he would
not otherwise receive.
Probably the most flagrant case
which has come TO the attention
of the officers and staff of the
chamber of commerce is that of a
blotter scheme. Originally the
salesman planned 10 have eight
spaces on the blotter and each
space was sold for S5, with the
understanding given by the sales
woman was going 10 the local
church. This would have brought
the racketeer advertising agent a
gross of $40 and the woman had
expected that the printing bill
would be ST. She canvassed every
printer in the city and found that
the cost would be SO for 500 blot
ters. She therefore went out and
sold four more spaces at S. each
or a total OF $50. In this instance
her net was $50.
Unhappily, according TO the
chamber Of commerce staff, the
man and woman in this instance
engaged in selling the blotters ne
elected TO pay their board bill and
there is now warrant for Their
arrest and police officers through
out California and Arizona have
description of their car, the Ii.
cense number and instructions tc
bring back the family TO Ell Centre
where a Jail sentence awaits them
1t is even uncertain if the printer
will go ahead with the printing
of this blotter as he has not beer
paid for the work; SO the con.
tributers to this scheme may not
even receive the questionable bene-
fit of seeing their names Oh 5OC
highly perishable blotters.

INSANITY PLEA
MAY Be FILED
BY MRS. JUDD

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. Is. U.P)-
That Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd will
plead insanity as one of her de-
fenses when she goes to trial Tues
day charged with the murder OF
her two women friends seemed a
forgone conclusion today.
Herman Lewkowitz, Mrs. Judds
local counsel. admitted that he
probably will attempt to show in
sanity among other things" Un-
der Arizona law, insanity may be
pleaded as one of several defenses.
The 27-year-old woman who ad-
mittedly killed Miss Hedvig Sam
uelson and Mrs. Agnes lie Roi and
rode 500 miles with their dismem-
bered bodies in her luggage, has
been under the observation of a
young army of psychiatrists and
alientists, most of them requested
by the defense but several acting
on the states request.
In addition, two sealed packets,
addressed to the clerk of the court,
have arrived by mail from middle
western cities. Though their con-
tents were undisclosed, it was con-
sidered an excellent guess that they
related to Mrs. Judd's eccentric"
girlhood in Indiana.
II was not thought unlikely that
her parents, the father an Indiana
evangelist, would be placed on the
stand to tell what they know of
the "burlap abduction" a sensa-
tional narrative OF Mrs. Judd's adol-
escence.
AS the story was printed at the
time OF her arrest three months
ago, Mrs. Judd, when she was l8,
herself to be found" in a
barn clad only in a burlap sack.
and told a story OF kidnapping and
seduction that resulted in the ar
rest of a neighbor youth, a story
she was TO have retracted later,
with the confession that it was q
fiction growing out Of her pas
sionate wish for a child.

CEREAL Relieved
HIS CONSTIPATION
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Brought
New Health

Every one who has suffered from
constipation should read Mr.. P. NJ.
Fishers letter:
"For many years I suffered from
constipation and used, for relief, all
kinds of laxatives. After a few
days treatment, | would only find
my condition the same as before
and at times worse.
"Some time ago I started to use
kellogg's ALL-BRAN regularly, once
day as directed. Since doing this,
] have found that / do not need
any other medicine to procure the
desired result, and it keeps me in
very healthful condition. Mr..
P. NJ. Fisher. 352 Evergreen Place,
Ridgewood, n. j.
Constipation is caused by lack of
two things in the diet: Bulk" 10
exercise the intestines; Vitamin 3
to tone the intestinal tract. ALL
BRAN supplies both-and also iron
for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that in lettuce. Inside the body,
it forms soft mass, which gently
clears out the wastes.
How much safer this is than risk
ing pills and drugs-so often HARM
full. Just eat two tablespoonfuls
daily-in serious cases, with every
meal. If your intestinal trouble
is not relieved in this way, see your
doctor.
Equally tasty as a cereal, or used
in cooking. Get the. red-and-green
package at your grocer's. Made by
Kellogg in Battle Greek.

TRADE EXPERT
SAYS BUSINESS
HERE IS GOOD

Harold w. Wright, trade COM
missioner Of the Los Angeles Cham
Der of Commerce, who has been
visiting In Ell Centro while making
a trade survey In this territory, re-
ports that Ell Centro shows evi-
dence of having weathered the cur
rent business depression in much
better shape than other western
communities.
Wright bases this statement on
the fact that while, of course, most
stores have shown declines In the
dollar volume of sales, these de-
clines have III most cases been no
greater than the average price re-
ceSsion OF merchandise. Many.
stores, In fact, have shown an in
crease in the number of units
which they have handled, Wright's s
survey shows.
Other favorable factors In the
Imperial Valley situation, Wright
told the El Centre Chamber OF
Commerce, are the strong banking
conditions which. combined with a
10 per cent gain in building and
loan deposits during the year 1881,
shows all elements OF great finan-
cial strength. Favorable business
psychology has also widely noted,
he states. and particularly during
the present business conditions
must be given due credit as an
important contributing factor.
Wright states. the wide diversity
of agricultural enterprises In the
valley is still. and has been In the
past, a guarantee of business con-
dition which Will exceed that 10

Southern California. Quick recup-
erative powers from any crop fall

A request that Secretary of Treas
ury Mellon furnish the house judi
ciary committee with a list OF his
stock holdings was made of A. w.
GREGG, Melons attorney, today at
hearings on Impeachment charges
brought by Rep. Patman, Dem,
Texas.
Gregg said he thought the list
could be furnished although, Of
course, nobody likes TO have his
personal holdings made public"
The request was made by Rep.
Dominick, Dem, s. c. He also asked
that the stock structure of the COR
porations in which Mellon had
holdings be included.
Gregg made an extensive legal
defense Of Melons right to hold
office. He specifically denied that
Mellon or any company in which he
was interested had any power in
terests in Chicago. This denial was
brought out by Patmans allegation
that n move to have federal build
ings in Chicago create their own
power had been turned down in IA
vor OF private power interests.
Gregg also denied that Mellon
had any part in the negotiations
by which a Gulf Oil corporation
subsidiary obtained the Barco Oil
concession in Colombia. The nego-
tiations were handled entirely by a
Mr.. Wallace, vice president Of the
corporation, in New York, he said.
Gregg said that on becoming Sec
retary of the treasury Mellon sold
all his bank stocks, resigned from
all his directorates and that all of
his stockholdings have been voted
by proxies.
