Nevada, Arizona and far-off Ne braska, representative of investments that approximate $50,000,000, gathered at the Chamber of Commerce at the ' opening session yesterday morning of the Western Retail Lumber Dealers' Association and the Lumbermen's Mu tual Society. Efficiency in salesmanship, the in crease in the volume of business through the increase in efficiency of salesmanship and the creation of new needs for lumber were the potent points discussed at the morning and afternoon sessions of the first day's meeting. Assembled members turned aside from their morning trade discussions for a few moments to voice their ap preciation of the Administration plan for the creation of an adequate Na tional defense. The need for prepared ness as an economic necessity, a bar to future National insult and a "defense of those inherent rights of our citizen ship" was urged by Rev. Peter Ather ton Slmpkin, of Salt Lake City. The policy of preparedness received in dorsement from other speakers. Women Dealers Speak , The afternoon programme was unusual, in that upon it as the prin cipal speake"s appeared two women, one of them a retail lumber dealer, Mrs. C. C. Bowerman, of Focatello, Idaho. In her address before the conference members. Mrs. Bowerman declared that a modern home, built by the band of ' man and generally planned by men, was almost totally unlike the struc ture that women preferred. She there fore urged a closer co-operation be tween the woman who was to have the upkeep of the home and the retail dealer who sold the lumber to the con tractor, who followed the specifications of the architect, who drew the plans according to the tastes of man. "How many of you men know what a woman really wants in a home?" queried Mrs. Bowerman. "And if you do know, how are you ever going to sell it to her? "A woman wants a home to be mod ern, attractive, comfortable, conven ient, stepsaving and moderate-priced. . And the homes that are represented ' in the plan books we have cover every one of those necessary elements. "But how is the woman going to know that? "In the first place you must have ad vertising. It is a patent fact that CANT BEAT "TIZ" WHEN FEET HURT "TIZ" for Sore, Tired, Puffed Up, Aching, Calloused Feet and Corns. "Sure! I use HZ every time for any foot trouble. - Tou can be happy-footed in a mo ment Use "TIZ" and never suffer with tender, raw, burning, blistered, swollen, tired, aching feet. "TIZ" and only "TIZ" takes the pain and soreness out - of corns, callouses and bunions. As soon as you put your feet in "TIZ" bath, you Just feel the happiness soaking in. How good your poor, old xfeet feel. They want to dance for joy. "TIZ" is grand. "TIZ" instantly draws out all the poisonous exudations which puff up your feet and cause sore, in flamed, aching, sweaty feet. Get a 25-cent box of "TIZ" at any druar store or department store. Get instant foot relief. Laugh at foot suf ferers who complain. Because your feet are never, never going to bother or . make jrou iimp. any, mure..

The shaping or tnai particular pi i of the retail aeaier s dusidbw i mc i.i tha rl huildcr of the ideal home, woman, is one of the lines along which greater efficiency was urged by Mrs. sowerman. cnmA nr ya miuf nnrent irKumeau brought out at yesterday s sessions were voiced in the report 01 me secre tary of the association, A. L. Porter. rri.A nion nf votaii lumber dealers substituting other things for lumber was strongly attacKea Dy mr. roruer, and he ttdvised in forceful words the intonviflration of the retail trade and the restriction! to lumber. It was his statement mat many lum ber manufacturers also did a retail trade, and many times carried cement in thlr stock. Such course he decried as being unbusinesslike.

"Quit advertising and talking about substitutes, and advertise and talk of the things made of lumber." Better -Methods Urged. Advocating better business methods and more efficient methods, Mr. Porter offered the following terse bits of ad monition: "All building materials of whatsoever kind handled by the retailer should produce a profit. "Profit should be earned by increas ing volume and not made by raising the price. " "We need fewer Tetail lumber yards, and better merchants; also, we need a modern, uniform credit system. We need aii honest advertising law in every state, as well as an honest Fed eral advertising law. "We need a greater knowledge of what to do with the goods after we sell them to the consumer. We need a greater knowledge of proper and profitable publicity; of blue-printed plans; of modern salesmanship. "We need a uniform bookkeeping and cost-accounting system, and we need a law penalizing those who are pro mulgating methods of unfair competi tion. "We need more men to talk in asso ciation meetings and not so many to talk in the lobby of a hotel. "Quit talking service, and prepare to deliver and sell it. "Work to build up the towns and the farthing communities; encourage siA'CK-raismg ana aiversuicu ittrinijig , spend some of your money to bring real farmers to this unoccupied West ern country. "You cannot increase consumption or create business In a territory where there are nothing but jackrabbits and sagebrush. "Many, if not all. of the retail lum berman's problems will disappear when he learns the art of correct selling. A credit sale is not complete until a def inite time for payment is agreed upon in writing. "A modem lumber merchant should be able to quote a price for all the lumber and mill work necessary to complete a building. Extra material at high prices should be eliminated. "Offer cash nrizea for the best ideas on the uses of wood. "The retail building material mer chant should deal direct with the con sumer and not through the contractor, nl ,TAnt A t W.V I a A Th,V B TA nAll ing service and not building materials.

Co-operation 'ounded on the of obtaining suitable quarters for the rural teacher, Mrs. Preston assumed the responsibility for housing the teacher, and her rural manse plan, the nrnvlalnn of a. cnttaire for the teacher at the expense of the district, was the result. Mrs. Preston said: "As a matter of economic waste or conservation it be hooves the rural community to care for the teacher paid jointly by me ais- oountv nnd stn.te. if they expect her to render the best services in the school and community."
