Axis Blocked

70 appreciate the full significance of the
British victory in North Africa it is necessary
to place it against the whole background OF
the war as it has unfolded since the co1lapse
OF France. Then it becomes clear that this
is only the latest of a series of Axis defeats.
The first was Dunkirque, when the Germans
failed to trap the British Expeditionary Force.
Later came the attempts to wipe out the
Royal Air Force in order to make the in
vasion of England possible by mid-Aug,st
or September by the latest. They failed. Mus.
solinis invasion of Greece followed with disas-
trous results for his own prestige, Meanwhile
the British navy made certain that the French
1ieet would not be used against it and in.
1llcted severe punishment on Italian sea power.
This is the military side of the picture.
The diplomatic side, equally important and
perhaps more so, is quite as dark from the
standpoint of the Axis. Hitler has made Ru-
mania a German puppet. to be sure. but the

time general merchandise emporium, the prob
,em is different. There the idea is to keep the
customer coming back. Even to appear 10
press on him something he may not want or
need is dangerous. The suggestion that he has
forgotten something may be taken as an IL
suit, Better to let the buyer alone.
In fact, it occurs to us that the faculty
men might learn from the proprietors Instead
Of the other way around. 1t is just possible
that they know their customers better than
the professors.
Wilmington stores, we believe, have the
best system of suggestive selling extant.
Clerks make it a rule to be universally polite
to all patrons, to answer patiently all ques-
tons, and when they lack desired commodi-
ties to recommend other stores where they
may be found. Such courtesy goes further in
building up trade than any number OF invita-
tons to buy something else while one purchase
is being wrapped up.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-12-16
Suggestive Selling

On the basis of time studies made in a
number Of Ohio towns, three faculty members
of the state university at Columbus report that
the average druggist limits his income because
he does not push his wares enough. He should
spend more time, they say, in Suggestive
selling"
This implies that in the interior of Ohio it
is not the practice when a customer asks for
razor blades to raise the question of shaving
soap. The clerk assumes that the buyer knows
what he wants and is not in the mood to
pick up, in passing, anything from a bottle
of face lotion to a fountain pen or a camera.
In larger cities there is some justification
for selling the customer everything that he
can be persuaded to buy. The man behind
the counter has never seen the purchaser be.

immediate sale that counts.
But in smaller cities, where the drugstore

Tail Developing Nicely

Late this month a newly discovered heavenly
visitor, already visible to the naked eye, will
put on an astronomical performance predicted
to be the most spectacular in 80 years. Cum
ningham's Comet is heading into plain view.
The most recent report on the progress of
the comet comes from DR.. Fletcher G. Watson,
executive secretary of the Harvard Observa-
tory, who says that the newcomer is right
on schedule and that it's tail is developing
Every, very nicely"
Those with keen eyes may see the comet
now, in the constellation of the Swan, low in
the western sky after sunset. 1t is slowly NOV
ing toward the blue star, Affair, where it will
be seen about Christmas.
DR.. Watson, has more data to the effect
that the comets speed is about Is miles a
second and that it is about the same distance
from the sun as from the earth = a little
matter of 100, 900, 900 miles. In mid-January
it will be only IS, 900, 900 miles from the earth,
and there is a fair chance that this old globe
will pass through the comets tail,
This is apparently nothing to worry about,
however, for DR.. Watson says the earth has
passed through comets tails before without
being much the worse off for the experience,

naval bases. In the Balkans, doubtless with
Russian support, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia

ago.
Now there are signs that Italy is on the
verge of disintegrating under internal strain.
Appearing with the Greek %iasco, they have
increased since-and. the North African defeat
will add fuel to the flames of discord. Clearly
Mussolini or Hitler, or both together, must
meet this threatening situation quickly unless
it is to grow even worse.

Man About Manhattan
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-There
was a tea for W. Somerset Maugh-
am and Bette Davis, and it was
an interesting first meeting for Sc
distinguished an author and so able
an actress. Miss Davis is starred
in THE Letter." a film based on
a play made famous by the late
Jeanne Eagles and one of Maugh-
ans best known dramas. Mrs.
Maugham, after a narrowing es-
cape from Flanders, is now a Brit
ish agent in this country. The re.
lease of THE Letter" made it
inevitable that these two should
meet.
Gazing about the room I recog.
nized Lion Feuchtwanger, who
was talking to Fannie Hurst, and
across the way recognized
Sherwood Anderson, the novelist,
in close conversation with Pierre
Van Paassen.
Looking at Feuchtwanger
brought home the fallacy of ever
trying to picture an author in ones
minds eye from merely reading
his books. With Power" and 1.-THE
Oppermans" in mind, I had i'm
agined Feuchtwanger to be Of i'm
posing stature. On the contrary,
he is a little man, rising barely
an inch or so over five feet. In
contrast, Anderson and Van Pass
en- lowered loftier than usual.
Later, in Maugham's rooms, I
was able to note the titles of more
that so books that he had brought
with him. Although he is himself
the author of scores, none was
present. Ernest Hemingway was
represented, also Hartzell Spence,
Oscar Levant, and quite a few
military experts. But no Vaughan.

Raleigh News And Observer

Many friends of Governor Hoey, Attorney
General Mcmillan and Revenue COMMISSIONS
Maxwell will wish that they had continue
their first policy of silence in the face oil
demands for explanations as to why the State
did not break up the slot machine racket in
North Carolina. The belated explanations Of
Tered are far from convincing.
Disclosure before Judge R. Hunt Parker
that the State Bureau Of Investigation, ar
adjunct OF the Attorney Generals department.
had had evidence for nine months of the whole.
sale and fragrant violation of the slot ma.
chine law in Cumberland county, brought ar
inquiry from Judge Parker as to why there
mad been no action.
But Judge Parker did more than inquire.
He ordered the machines confiscated. Although
Judge Parker was sitting in another district,
slot machines have now been as effectively
eliminated in Fayetteville as in Raleigh.
at first, no explanations were forthcoming
from State officials. On Thursday, Attorney
General MCMILLAN shifted responsibility to
Governor Hoey with this statement:
There was no prosecution because Governor
Hoey was unwilling to 60 into it at that time.
The Attorney General added that he and the
Governor had concluded that it would require
SO highway patrolmen to make a raid ana that
they thought it the duty Of local officials to
enforce the law.
Judge Parker demonstrated that a raid could
be mace WIN a SHall lracuon OF oU men and
that the law could be enforced not only without
the aid of local officials, but with most of
those officials appearing as character witness
ses for defendants.
The statement of Revenue Commissioner
Maxwell is no more convincing.
Commissioner Maxwell declared tina. his
department had lived up to it's duty of with
holding licenses from illegal machines by
warning licensees that the license was void
if the machine was operated illegally. He then
declared:
think it is fine that the judiciary has
finally woke up the problem of ADEQUATE
enforcement of the Flanagan act after it had
been almcst dormant for nearly four wears
Perhaps the judiciary of North Carolina has
been 'almost dormant" But Mr.. Maxwell
now admits it is awake" Can as much ha
said for the S.. B. 1. or the Department Of
Revenue? i
