Did you ever notice that the
clerks in stores are divided into
two classes, the polite. courteous
type the kind yon like to trade
with and the arrogant business
like ones that you like to keep
away FROM Fortunately, the
great percentage Of them are
pleasant and agreeable.
Recently while visiting a city in
the east had occasion to do q
bit Of shopping. The first store
that | visited, ts1o clerks were
quite busy talking. stood around
few minutes waiting for them
to finish their conversation. Final
ly asked if | could be waited on.
The reply, What do you want ~
was spoken in sharp tone Of
voice. I said. Nothing and
walked out. That store lost 4
sale.
Later on, while talking with the
editor of the local newspaper, I
told my experience and asked
him if that merchant advertised in
his newspaper. When he told me
that he did not. then understood.
for everybody knows that stores
that are regular newspaper adver-
tisers always have courteous
clerks 8Y4
Everybody knows that i takes
newspaper advertising, coarteous
clerks and aualitx sspdn Assmake
customers come back again and
again.

These works were vital to the German cause.
1t was obvious to strategists on both sides that
Germany must lose the war If the Briey basin
production were interrupted. But no move was
made against it-until, finally, in the clos
ing weeks of the war, Pershing and his Amer
leans crashed into it.
For the first two years of the war, French
generals, members Of the Chamber of Depu-
ties and others urged that the Briey basin be
bombarded, either by long range artillery or by
airplanes But it not done. All requests
encountered an invisible wall somewhere In
the high places of the government.
Now. says MFR. Seldes. the great properties OF
the Briey basin were largely owned by great
French industrialists. The French did not want
their properties damaged.
In the same way, there were vitality important
French coal fields at Pas-de-Calais, only Is
kilometers from the front; and the Germans
never molested them by bombardment during
the war. And. says Mr.. Seldes, 'the answer
is simply that the same international indus
trialists who owned coal and iron In Lor-
raine owned coal and iron in Pas-de-Calais.
and that they were able to preserve them intact
