c. Bennett, with Miss Mary Brooks
as piano accompanies. Mr.. Bennett
also led group singing. Each en-
ployer present introduced his eni-
ployes.
The entertainment progra m
over, Dr.. T. w. Sumner and Reese
Jackson, two of the instructors for
the vocational courses, outlined
their plans and invited employers
and employees to enroll next Thurs
day evening. 1t was explained that
each class must have a minimum
of ten persons who are engaged
in some form Of distributive oc-
cupation, but that others interest
ed in the subjects taught may join
after this requirement has been
met. Courses available if at least
ten eligible students are registered
for each are salesmanship, mar
keting and merchandising, man.
agement and service, business Eng
lish, business arithmetic, CONNER
cial law, economics, window trim
ming, advertising, and practical
psychology.
Mr.. Keith's address to the meet
ing, while containing much practi-
cal information, was largely OF an
inspirational nature, and much en-
thuSiasm over the prospects of a
successful school was developed.
Mr.. Keith told his audience, which
was composed of from one to ten
persons from practically all local
retail establishments, that selling
has in the past been the weakest
link in merchandising but this
situation is rapidly being changed
and the firm or the individual who
expects to keep up with the pro-
cession must develop effective
Salesmanship.
"Duying is important, advertIs-
ing is important, and displaying
the goods is important, but if the
sales staff is not courteous, does
not know the merchandise, does
not have the proper approach, does
not talk effectively, does not have
friends, and does not create con-
fidence in the merchandise, the
store will not be successful" the
speaker said. Furthermore, the
sales person who does not derive
pleasure from serving the public
and has no desire to learn how to
be of greater value TO his employ
er will fail in the end and should
resign his job at once and seek
other occupation"

WORLD REPORT
SHOWS MASSES
LIVING BETTER
Study Made for League Of
Nations Stresses Post
War Advances
By LESLIE THOMAS
United Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA. Oct. %. (UP)-Hu-
manity's lot, Judged from the lar
der and the wardrobe on the
whole, is better than before the
World war, according to Prof. n.
F. Fall, director of Britain's Ma
tlOral Institute for Social and
Economic Research. His conclu-
sions were made in a report pre-
pared for the League of Nations.
From the Italian peasant to the
unemployed artisan in Britain's
depression areas, life is slightly
better, Hall found.
SIN neither of these countries"
: he said, twill there be found to-
day those shoeless and ragged chill
dren who were common in pre-
war days"
Hall pointed out further that
Nazis, Communists, Democrats and
Fascists all proclaim their devO-
ton to the welfare of the people.
Hence, he believes that while they
may quarrel about the>methods,
the different ideologies may find
neutral meeting ground in their
common aim and disputes over
political methods "mav be left to
the final arbitration of history"
PEOPLE MORE CONSCIOUS
At the same time there has
come a greater awareness OF the
problem of poverty, Hall believes.
The radio, the cinema, better COM
munications,. have given to the
masses vivid idea Of the differ
cnt material we'll being, both
among classes and among nations
themselves. Government, Hall
said, no longer can afford to lg-
more that in framing their poll
cieS.
From technical viewpoint,
Hall discussed the most effective
WAYS of utilizing the enormous
resources won bv modern science
and technology for the benefit Of
the masses. Concerted efforts to
raise their living standards. he in
dictated. would be followed even
tually by greater international
commerce.
Hall suggested that:
The state must withdraw active
support from those sectional inter-
ests which impair improvements
in national welfare and look for
popular support in doing so by
checking the effects of fiscal pol
icy where it hits consuming pow
er. especially that of the poorer
classes. 1t should endeavor to in
crease consumption and produc-
ton by controlling the relative
prices charged for necessities, par
ticularly where fiscal policy i'm
poses taxes on these goods and on
their transport and distribution.

Of my outer office"
After talking with Murphy, ac-
cording to Gadola, Sugar de-
mandcd that the hearing on the
injunction be adjourned because
the governor desires it." Gadola
said he rejected the plea. The in
junction was issued and Il num-
Der of sit-downcrs were cited for
contempt "fol' disobeymg it, but

cial act, Gadola said:
81 constantly received threats
then and for weeks later. The
American Legion guarded me, and
another organization even guard
ed my children while they were

Barringer linked investigators
of the LaFollette Civil Liberties
committee to the dispute, saying
that two agents demanded the
names and addresses Of members
of reserve forces from the Amer
lean Legion and other groups
which were being enlisted to aug
ment regular police strength.
Their demand was refused, Bar
ringer said, and they left saying

states should endeavor to raise
the consumption level of agrlcuI-
ture and industrial countries 10
increase the productive efficiency
by measures aimed at expanding
local interchange of agricultural!
products. Industrial states should
cndeavor to expand their own pro-
duction of protective" foods
(eggs. milk, butter, etc. and buy
from the agricultural states larger
supplies of fodder. crops and, III
some cases, the bulkier foodstutfs::
Hall painted the other side of
the picture, too, as follows:
"The greatest single obstacle to
the formation of such policies at
present is the risk of war, which
makes many industrial countries
apprehensive of a local shortage
of staple foodstuffs. Indeed, the
true cost to the peoples of Europe
of the present state of political
tension and feverish rearmament
is to be found not in the astro-
nomical sums which are being
spent upon military equipment of
all kinds, but in the severe check
to production of those goods which
they need to improve their stand
ards of living"
Even for that purpose, Hall
doubts whether certain contem-
porary agricultural policies are of
much use. Cereal, he pointed out,
can be stored easily, while their
intensive cultivation can impair
the fertility of the soil. Large
herds Of cattle, on the other hand,
not only create reserves of meat
for emergencies and keep the soil
fertile but they also make possible
the increased consumption of milk,
thereby tending to improve the
quality of a nations man power.

Quit Politics, but Pierce
Became President

HANDSOME, genial Franklit
IL Pierce first tasted the thrill OF
politics as rising young lawyer
of Is, serving in the New Hamp-
shire legislature. BY 1882 he mao
become speaker of that body, and
the following year he entered the
United States House of Represen-
tatiVeS.
So, he assumed, his political ca
reer was cast. A friend of Presl@
dent Jackson, he supported ao-
ministration measures, and IN 1873 I
he stepped up to the Senate. But
there his establishment began.
For, once in the upper house.
Fierce, being its youngest mem
Der, found himself sadly over
Swallowed by a galaxy of older
and wiser heads. such as Benton
and Clay and Webster. Before
long Pierce saw he could make no
great Roadway, and resigned his
seat to return to the practice OF
law at Concord, N. H., where he
became federal district attorney.
In l845 he was offered the NOM
nation for governor of his state,
also an appointment to fill an I'M
expired term in the U. S. Senate,
and the next year the position OF
attorney general in Folks cabinet
But he rejected them all. Pierce
was determined to stay out of poll
tics.
Yet six years later the turn Of
events found him drafted as a
clark horse" candidate for the
presidency on the Democratic
ticket and he was swept into Of
flee. He is shown here on a stamp
of the new U. S. regular series,
enlarged.
