Brazil (AP) WAi a protest against a heavy in orttt In municipal tuxoa for lfi:!5, the hualneaa concerns of Ntclheroy. across the harbor from Klo 1 Jantero, shut their doors a feu days ago and refused to open them for threes days. Everything closed down. Including coffee and milk shops and vegetable and fruit stories, end tho taxlcab drivers went on strike. ' Tne on many. Industries and articles have been Increased from 60 .to 600 per cent and many new Items Included, such as sewing ma chines ond pianos In private homes'. The mayor hns defended his action in signing the. Increased tnx hill, ' according to one of the local news papers, hy saying that the city was , 4iadly In need of an Improved sew- age system and heller paving. At the end of the third day n deh-gatlon from the rommerchil houses v tailed the president of the state, who promised to Investigate -the nit mi I Ion and Ihen call u Ht8 flion of the municipal council.

He Nevers, ; Soulhern California Telephone offl trials, who say that around fi o'clock every evening several thousand business men cnll up to Inform their wives that they can't get homo to dinner, usually bemuse of , a "conference." "Iuring the hrlef period' be tween 4:46 and 6:10 p. m the telephone plrlq handle morn onlls a minute that nt any other time during tho day," said Mr. Towley, i, "The hulk of them are men rall " .lng up their wives about not being j) able to get home to dinner," ., Various other factors that make tho traffic In telephone calls Jump ' and cause switchboards to light up like Iho proverbial t'hrlhtmas tree, . said Mr. Do Nevers, are fires, rx---plosions nnd radio announcers re- .questing Itsteners-ln to "call up and let us know how you hear us." Jf a day opens with clear weather and rain comes up later the number of phone calls Increases unbelleveably, the officials said. Everybody seems to bo calling up to cancel engage ments or to rent 'taxlcabs. : Checking over Iho 1,760,000 calls a day, tho telephone operators say that the-popular notion Is ennvrt, 'men can not compete with women In long conversations, , , A good ground connection is just s important in radio broadcast re ception as a good antenna. The an tenna -collects the signal energy and unless the ground connection h good and of low resistance to the sij'iul, the energy cr.n be very easily dissi pated before it ever reaches your radio receiver. Cold-water pipe systems usually make the best ground when you are sure that the pipes lead directly into the ground and that there are no insulated couplings in the pipe line. Many times in connecting your ground wire to the pipes of hut air or hot water heating systems, poor results will be obtained because in sulated couplings arc used in the pipe line which actually insulate the receiver from the ground. Kustand crrosion in pipe lint's also sometimes cause high resistance joints and hence pour grounds. In any case, in making a ground connection, scrape the inetul pipe or rod to which the ground wire is at tached, very clean and bright, then wrap the wire securely around it several times and solder the connec tion securely, making sure that your soldering iron is hot and that the "solder" flows into the joint. A ground clstnp can be used to good advantage, but again, great care should be taken to see that the connection is clean and bright be fore tightening the c!.;ip down onto the pipe or rod. In the country, the best ground connection obtainable is a metal rod or pipe driven four or five feet into the ground.

In Venice, haggling and dickering were the vogue. Along the RiaUo, sharp practice was the rule. Every purchase of silk or spices was made at the buyer's risk'. One had to be a shrewd judge of values and one's fellows to escape trickery. Tortia's father a merchant was used to the ideas of guess, luck- and accident. So much so, indeed, that it seemed natural to him to entrust the choice of his daugh ter's husband to three closed caskets and a lucky guess! Nowadays, we do not transact business blindly nor leave important decisions to chance. It is not necessary for us to gamble when we buy. Commodities are identi fied for us by trade-marks. Manufacturers go to the advertising columns to tell us about their products. Merchants describe their merchandise price, quality and service. . By reading advertisements, we get a knowledge of goods and stores that we can depend on. Advertising reduces chance, in buying, to a minimum. DO YOU READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS? 1 I I I I 3 - i
