SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance)......../ Aces Seacuaye $2.50 i What! No Tomahtoes? . “You say tomahto, and I say tomayto.”’ [f it isn’t already outlawed that song hit of a few years back probably will be banned from the air for sure now. For the House Ways and Means Committee at Washington ruled recently that the correct pronunciation is tomayto! Just one more case of governmental regimentation! And though it doesn’t hurt our feelings a bit, some of those Harvard lads and Boston lassies probably never will be the same ‘agaon.—Contributed. pa . A Dis-United States of America? . Te We hear a lot these days about “state trade barriers.”’ Most of us don’t bother much about them, though. because we have the feeling that state tariffs and use taxes and the rest don’t bear down upon us very directly or very heavily. Take the following case as an example of what might happen if this new type of state tax were carried to a logical —or rather. illogical—extreme: A resident of New York State buys two cartons of cigarettes in New Jersey. He starts to drive through New York City on his way to his home, which is well outside the city limits. He is stopped by an insvector and brought into court charged with possessing ones on which the city tax has not been paid. But, he explains, he isn’t planning to smoke the cigar_ettes in the city. He only comes there once a week, anyway, and besides that, one carton out of the two was for his wife. Doesn't matter, the inspector maintains; the defendant them. On that basis, the man is held for trial. Fanciful, vou say: these taxes wil! never be carried to that extreme. Well, as a matter of fact, the above story is a description of an actual case recently brought to court in New York City. And it points a warning finger to what may happen to the average citizen if the tendency of states to erect tar barriers against each other continues unabated. Incidents like the above seem trivial in themselves. They shouldn't be dismissed from the mind as lightly as that. however. For they are storm signals, warning us of the coming of a time in the not-so-distant future when the states of . this country. through foolishly erecting high tax barriers against the free flow of commerce. may change the proper name of this country from “the U. S. A.” to the “Disxinited States of America.’ —Contributed. ee Keeping An Eye On The Ball. Sometimes hubbub and colorful happenings, plus the mere passage of time, have a way of sweeping aside far more important issues. We have all of us, at one time or another, This is likely to be the case with the National Labor Relations Act unless the individual citizen exercises very good judgment and ‘“‘keeps his eye on the ball.” For this reason, periodic reviews of the current status of the Act, and of the principal matters relating to it, are necessary from time to time. Here, in essence, is the way these matters stand nowThe Smith Committee appointed by the House of Representatives to investigate the National Labor Relations Board. tions. Testimony before this Committee so far has revealed serious disagreement among Board members, evidences in a number of cases of bias on the part of its examiners, and most of all a need for clarification of the Wagner Act itself to insure fair play for all parties concerned. Meanwhile, public opinion throughout the country, as shown in various surveys of public opinion, has been strongly in favor of either repealing or revising the Act. Designed to bring harmony between employer and employee, the Wagner Act saw the inauguration of the bitterest period of industrial strife in this country’s history. The public, as well as representatives of all groups in our economy, has registered its desire that the Act be amended to reduce this strife toa minimum. The Smith Committee, by its sound’ treatment of the whole matter, is pointing the way to these sensible changes. It behooves the ordinary citizen, then, the man or woman who wants to see. industry and the country firmly back on the road to progress, to follow the course of the Wagner Act with. close attention. Only through this course, in this case as in all others, can America be sure that the public will is not ignored _or thwarted.—Contributed.

I wonder if one’s progress along the rugged highway of success is measured by his talent for salesmanship. If this is the case, as indeed it seems to be, then the subject of salesmanship is one which deserves earnest and careful consideration. = Weare all salesmen, though this fact is not always recognized: throuch the day, from morn till night. we are selling ourselves to every one with whom we come in contact. This selling of personality is contingent upon many things; general appearance, deportment, speech, voice—voice? There was the case of the telephone girl whose pleasant, well modulated voice so captivated a wealthy young bachelor that he in turn, sought her out and sold to her his plans and __specifications for living happily for ever afterward. Yes, voices-‘make a “differ.” Business and professional men and women, sciontiate, teachers, craftsmen, clerks and workers, all of these are anlésmen and the degree of respect with which they regard their salesmanship. the earnestness with which they strive to improve themselves and their varied abilities, makes for success or es failure. -A salesman, no matter what his bles eakion, has at least three things to sell; the professional man must sell himself, his abilities and methods; the commercial salesman, himself, the firm he represents and the merchandise which he offers the prospective customer, In order to become a successful salesman in any line, one must possess a sympathetic understanding of the desires and needs of others; he must at all times and under al! circumstances exercise the fine arts of diplomacy, courtesy and patience; he must “‘know his line’, and stand ready to discuss it with intelligence and enthuiasm. He must above all, keep the common touch and learn to walk carefully and_ gratiously among his human kind. Salesmanship is not merely a method of selling peronalitv, service, ideas and merchandise; it should be regarded as a co-operative way of life, which makes ever increasing demands upon individual resourcefulness, efficiency and intelligence and creates higher concepts of those services which we are priviliged to render one to the other, or to the public at large.’ Uncle Silas says: ‘“When I start out in the morning, . just know I’m about to either sell myself or give myself away; not wishing to give myself away, . try to watch my step.” —A.
