have done I'd always trusted him.
But this that I've told you. about
what happened between him and
Major Stellen in Bert's billet, that
night - it's mostly guesswork, OF
course Bert - just disappeared. The
orderly who went to fetch Hank re-
ported that Bert came out and told
him the Major had left on foot So the
orderly rode away; but when Hank
was missed later. he went back and

chap named Fleming. who had been
with US at Plattsburg. recognized him
during the fighting on the fourth. Bert
must have attached himself to an out
fit that was going in. because Fleming
saw him killed in cleaning up a ma
chine gun nest. Fleming looked for his
tag. but it was gone. suppose Bert
threw it away. Fleming told me; but
he himself was killed a few days later.
Il didn't push any hunt for Bert.

charged with murder. So he was listed

he suggested. "He sacrificed his own

HECHTC0. HEAD
GIVES TIPS TO
RETAILERS

CHICAGO, June 23.-When you
sell a customer a bed, sell him the
sheets ann blankets and pillows
to go with it, without making It
necessary for him to wander over
half the store to find the fittings.
When you fit man with a new
suit, make it possible for him TO
step across the aisle and get new
hat. and across another aisle Tor a
pair of new shoes to completely
outfit him. And don't overlook
the fact that he may want some
new shirts, and have them handy.
When you sell a customer SOCKS,
sell him the garters to hold them
up-from the same counter.
Stockings and girdleS belong TO-
gether in the store as well as on
the limbs of the female branch OF
the family tree.
Urged by Hecht Head
If suits, shirts, Sox, shorts, shaw
ing kits and sweaters are all With
in ready reach of your male Gus
toners. they will buy larger bill
of goods and be better satisfied
than if they have to search store
from one end to another to find
the things they use in their daily
life and wear in intimate aSSocla'
ton.
These and other new concep-
tions of department-Store man
aqement. introducing greater eIaS-
ITCHY in operation and a closer re-
lationship between departments
handling related merchandise.
were urged on members OF
the National Retail Dry Goods AS
ISOLATION today by C. B. Dulcan,
vice president and general man
aqer of the Hecht Company OF
Washington, as the remedy for I'M
satisfactory profits and low pay
for salespeople.
If accompanied by more intel
ligent training of the sales stats,
he declared, the breaking down OF
what he described as "Chlnse
barriers" within department
stores, and the "unfreezing" OF
goods and personnel, will be i'm
mediately reflected in increased
sales, higher profits, and larger
earnings for workers.
Better Employees
Merchandisers also were told
that a higher type of employe can
be attracted to the field Of re-
failing if the retailers themselves
make the opportunity for employ
ment sufficiently attractive. On
this point he said:
management is expanding
tremendous sums for advertising,
which 1t should; tremendous

sums on the physical structure,
departmentally and otherwise,
which it should; a tremendous
amount to keep our delivery

dous sums invested in merchan-
disc, etc.-and will spend only
enough to buy bag of peanuts,

earnings, and the expense in

ing them.

rounding mothers, and fathers,
and professors, and students and
colleges, and the American pub
lie, as a whole, will be eliminated
so they will cease to think in
terms that the department store
is merely a stopping off junction
on the way to a happier, more
prosperous ride to another point.
This is a grave mistake. If the
children and youth of our ma
ton could be brought up to think
that the average department
store offers for them individually
a greater and Speedier OppOrtun-
ity for commercial and financial
success than many Of the pro-
LESSONS, and will look upon a
department store as a real deS-
tinatiOn, and as q real Opportun-
ity for growth and development,

people will be fed into depart
ment store channels, with much

my attention to the bad conduct of

states that the children have be-

By Helen M. Scott
Hello, Folks:

1t was our good fortune, this
week, to interview one of the Twin
Cities most prominent business
men, W. SQUIRE NEAL, Funeral
Director. He is very well liked and
has a pleasing personality which
accounts largely for his success.
1 know his answers will be of in
terest to the general public.
1. Where were you born? Ans.
Minneapolis, MINI.
2. How did you happen to enter
the business you are in? Ans
Through the kindly interest of o..
A. Lawrence who thought had the
natural ability to make a success
in my profession.
3. Has modern embalming
equalled that of the ancient Egyp-
tians? Ans.-They can not be
compared. The purpose of either
is too widely different. The Egyp-
tians embalmed for preservation
only by the method of de-hydra-
ton. Modern methods are for life
like appearance and preservation.
Both equally important.
A. What is your favorite pas
time? Ans.-Golfng, skating and
the movies.
5. Who are more conceited, men
or women? Ans.-You're asking
me?
6. Describe your ideal woman.
Ans.-An intelligent woman with a
large amount of mother wit and
more of the partner" type.
z. Do you admire red finger
nails on a woman? Ans.-Yes,
and no.
8. Do you think prohibition will
ever come back? Ans.-Yes, as
everything works in cycles.
9. What is your favorite song?
Ans.-I have no favorite.
10. What is your favorite des-
sert? Ans.-Lemon pie.
II. Do you favor the opening of
the sepulchral chambers in the val
ley of the kings, as conducted by
Lord Carnavon and Howard Car
ter? Ans.-Yes, and no. If for
scientific and historical advance
ment, yes. If to satisfy the curl
Gus, no.
~. Do you think Paul Robson
was wise in sending his young son
to Russia for his education? Ans.
Yes, if he is financially able to
maintain a high social standing in
that country. No, if to be educated
only and return to this country to
come in contact with prejudices,
for which his education had not
prepared him.
13. How did you spend Christ
mas? Ans.-As an Elk, helping
to entertain the children.
IA. What are you going to do
this year that you did not do last
year? Ans.-How do / know?
Quite a number of our prominent
young folks turned out to the Sun
day Forum at Phyllis Wheatley
House last week, as we'll as some
of the older crowd. Of course, you
know the Council of Negro Youth
sponsored very interesting panel
discussion on Education of Minor
ity Groups in America" Among
the popular young people present

MOSES, EVA LEE, LOUIS
MOORE, and SONNY BELL. !. i.
EARL SHAMWELL, the president
Of the Forum, turned the panel dis
cussion over to JOHN F. THOM-
