! ADVICE TO CLERKS
Hackneyed Phrases and
; Generalities Not Condu
cive to Salesmanship
The clerk who approaches a
customer and says, "something
for you," is a back number.
The clerk who says a certain
sort of merchandise is fine and
will give wonderful satisfaction
just on a general statement, is a
mighty poor asset to any business
house.
This is according to R- H. West-
fall of Los Angeles, aa expert on
"Sales ; and Service," who ad
dressed the Rotarians yesterday.
The average clerk knows but
little and often gets little further
in selling than handing out an ar
ticle, without doing any thinking,
Mr. Westfall said. That is, the
clerk is likely to talk a lot but
really say nothing. '
For instance, when a clerk in
selling a kodak, says, "It's a fine
kodak." that is a conclusion but
does not aid the purchaser in
making the purchases. According
to Mr. Westfall. the clerk should
give some real interesting Infor
mation. If the customer in buying a
tennis racquet is holding it to
test the weight, the real live clerk
will at once give the exact weight
and name some famous player
who had one of the same weight.
That's information, Mr. Westfall
said. No use in saying, "It's a
fine racquet."
The clerk should . think of what
the customer is thinking, if such
a thing is possible, he said.; For
instance, if the customer is buy
ing a fountain pen and it Is too
free with ink, the clerk should be
handy with some line of talk that
expounds the special merits of the
pen he is selling.
In a test of salesmanship made
in California, out of 408 salesmen,
according to Westfall, only 28
were found who thought along
with the customer, and 168 said,
"Something for you." Of the 408,
there were 87 who used the hack
neyed phrase, "this is very fine."
To interest a customer, the
clerk must present some definite
fact, and not draw a conclusion.
Mr.. Westfall said. He advised
clerks 4o 'become Informed on
their merchandise. If selling
clothing, he should know the dif
ference between woolens and wor
steds. :
The best salesmen, said the
speaker, are those who know the
most about their merchandise,
and also those who after telling
facts about their merchandise, let
the customer draw conclusions.
And Mr. WestfalF; has a very
poor opinion of the clerk who fin
ishes a conversation with another
clerk, when a customer appears.

WORD TO CONFERENCE
(Continued from page 1.)
President Harding and his advis
ors did will prove a lasting credit
to the clear-eyed statesmanship!
or the 1 nited states.
Secretary Hughes expressed to
Ambassador Geddes the apprecia
tion of this nation for the mes
sage and said a reply to it would
bo cabled soon.
Vatican To Have Report
Pope Benedict approves Presi-j
dent Harding's plan to bring I
about a limitation or armament
by common understanding. The
attitude of the holy see is con
sidered, especially by Catholics.
js most important since it secure?
to the conference the support ot
what is termed by many 'the
greatest moral and spiritual pow
er in the world."
Although the pope has no rep
resentative, Monsignor Honzano,
apoptalic delegate here, will fol
low the proceedings and report
to the Vatican. The Vatican's
interest in the departments is so
great that an allusion to it may
e made in the allocation which
the pope will deliver November
21.
Pope Claims Priority
The Rome correspondent of
the Associated Press understands
that the pope claims a priority in
the movement for limitation orm
praents which he hopes will lead
to disarmament altogether. Hi
peace note of August 1, 1917.
urging the belligerent powers to
agree on some fundamental prin
ciples to end the war and lead to
a just and lasting peace is men
tioned. It invited all countries at
war to agree "on the simultan
eous and reciprocal decrease ot
armaments." limiting them only
to what strictly was necessary
for the domestic maintenance of
public order.
Papal Plan Explained
At the same time Cardinal
Gaspair gave the Associated
Press a statement in, which the
papal secretary of state explained
the pope's plan and his belief
that only disarmament cou,Id as
sure a durable peace basd on
the principles of justice. Cardi
nal Gaspair still believes one of
the chief reforms to that end is
the abolition of conscription.
Iremier Brland Speaks
General principles on which
questions at issue are to be set
tled will be laid down in the first
days of the armament conference
according to the opinion express
ed today by Premier Briand of
France to newspapers.
"My conception of the firs!
days of the conference," he said,
"is that it will consider and lay
down the principles on which
naval armaments, land arma
ments and Pacific questions are
to be settled."
"Will the question of Euro
pean debts to the United States
come up?" hq was asked.
"I do not think bo," he replied.
French Army Reduced.
In discussing the French army
he said:
"Our army has been reduced
pTeatly and is in nrocess of fur
ther reduction. We are going to
the limit consistent with the se
curity of France and I may say
of Europe. We are in the pres
ence of a disorganized Europe. ;

Two Volcanoes Seen
"We are in the presence of two
volcanoes. On the other sid? of
Germany is soviet Russia in full
eruption. The German volcano
is rumbling. The only barrier is
Poland. Should that barrier fall
we could have the two countries
of eruption uniting. We mu3t
have sufficient strenpth to deal
with eventualities affecting the
world "
France come, he continued,
asking for nothmg, solicits noth
ing and has in the background
no thonghts of things good for
herself.
Kars Wide icn
"We come rather." he added,
"with our ears more widely open
than our mouth?;. We shalt listen
more than talk. We have our
opinions to express and suggest
ions to make, but we have no sart
of purpose" to ask anything for
Franc?. We wi:l arrange our af
fairs and all that we would ask
would be moral freedom to do
so.
"The American government, in
pursuing what it deemed rightly
to be its duty toward Europe,
took part in our affairs becans
they were world affairs. We have
been invited to assist in the dis
cussion and anangement of Pa
cific questions because they are
world questions I have every
confidence that an agreement
will be reached in wh'.ch sover
eignity of every nation concerned
will be maintained and the pro
per interests of all defined."

Man Who Killed Wife
Testifies in Defense

trial on the charge of killing his
wife, testified In his own defense

It's Easy to Be a
Millionaire in Russia
MOSCOW, Nov. 9. Americans
and Englishmen coming to Russia
find themselves millionaires in
rubles.. A hundred dollars ;is
equivalent to several million rub
les. The first effect of being a mil
lionaire is to make the stranger
haggle over prices which seem
tremendously high. It takes him
a few weeks to realize a million
rubles isn't much money.
' A small shopkeeper has a daily
turnover of 20,000,000 to 30,-
000,000 rubles. Even boys who
drive cabs or sell cigarettes are
millionaires, handling 1,000,000
to 2,000,000 rubles daily.
Being wealthy in Russia is a
burden. It is so bulky that a
whole valise full ia needed for a
