To Make Study Of Sources Of Success Boston.—The sctence of economics | has now brought its resources to bear on an investigation designed i to show, among other thing ! whether Horatio Algier was right or I wrong. I Is it the poor boy who prospers, 1 becomes owner of the bank and lives | in the mansion on the hill ? Or is it 1 rhe squire's son? | Under the direction of Prof. F. j W. Taussing and C. S. Joslyn of the ! department of economics at Harvard university, questionnaires are being 1 sent, out this week to 15,000 leading | business men throughout the coun-, j try in an attempt to obtain first- j hand information regarding the so i eial classes from which business lead ers are recruited, the extent of thetr education and training and the cir | cumstances surrounding the early stages in their business careers. The. research is being carried out under a grant from the Milton fund, a foundation which this year is sup porting 37 research projects under taken by various members of the; faculty of Harvard. Professor Taussing and Mr. Joslyn describe their inquiry as the first j I systematic attempt on a large scale j to collect data on the problems of social stratification. They hope to obtain data which will show the j relative importance of such factors as social position, natural ability, command of capital, influential con nections and higher education in business success, and will enable them to speak with some authority on the causes of social inequality. Their findings, it is believed, will throw light also or. such disputed questions as the comparative oppor ! tunities for advancement in business accorded to members of the various i social classes, and whether the ten dency In modern business is toward a wider diffusion or closer restric tion of such opportunities. The questionnaires is addressed to the officers, owners and directors of the leading business organizations of the United States. If the investi gation proves successful ,t will be followed by a similar study of the professions. ! How Shoes Are Sold By Paris Salesmen Asheville Citizen. From Paris come tidings which will incline the reader to believe more confidently than ever that, in evolving and putting over high pressure salesmanship methods, the United States is the leading per former of the world. The tidings are that a certain Parisian shoe shop has, by means of a new wrinkle in landing the customer, grabbed most of the boot and slipper trade o' the French capita L The day of the great innovation dawned auspiciously. Into the shoe shop came a lady seeking the new est thing in footwear. A salesman, humbly seated before her, drew off one of her shoes, gallantly raised the stockinged foot to his lips and with an air of profound homage and unqualified reverence, lightly pressed upon the Instep (or, as it is described in the dispatches, an inch or two above the toes) a kiss. Results were instantaneous and gratifying, Not only did the first customer purchase and thus prove the hypnotizing merit of this de cidedly low-pressure salesmanship, but she went forth and cquainted her friends with the novel, reverent and gallant methods employed in the shop Women flocked to the place. The stock melted away. Competing shoe merchants lashed themselves into frenzies of envy and despair, the while they cudgelled their brains for "something just as good." During the first week of the chivalric shoe-selling, the in spired shop doubled its business. All of which we have described | at such length merely to prove that i similar tactics would not succeed on j this side of the Atlantic. American1 women are bubbling over with a saving sense of humor They arc al so keenly alive to the impertinent. If one of them were given the t. ales-kiss - on - the -foot, the chances are that, discarding her first im pulse to call in an sheath she would yield to her second hunch and bend her umbrella over the back of the head so temptingly pre sented by the attitude assumed by the salesman in attempting to im plant the alleged captivating care v And Box Supper Teachers Meeting Every teacher and .officer of me Sunday school of New Hope church is urged to be present Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock. The pastor, Rev. J. L. Jenkins, will do the teach ing. :f.' Immediately after the meeting the senior B, Y. P. U. will give a box supper.

Glass Can’t Be Cut And Will Not Splinter Inventor Throws Square Sheet On Floor; It Bonner* And Lies Intact—Is "Plass." Liverpool.—Striking claims are put forward by the inventors of a new substitute for glass, for the manufacture of which a factory is being built at Nottingham The materia! is known .. Polio plass, or briefly. Plass, and has been produced by Professor E. C. Baiy, professor of inorganic chem istry at Liverpool university, and his son. K. J. Baly. It is an improvement on a pro cess invented oy Dr. F. Pollack, a distinguished Austrian chemist, with whom Prof. Baly am! hi: on have been collaborating Plass, it is claimed, admits the health giving ultra-violet lays. Is unsplnterable. Is cheaper than other substitutes. Is burglar-proof. It is said that plass may be mould ed to any shape and even turned like a piece of wood By another process, in which plass is reduced to powder and pressed hydraulically, it becomes opaque and may be given any color. ‘Tt is rather early yet to talk of the discovery,” said Professor Baly, in an interview. "A lot of work will have to be put in before the pro cesses are perfect. For one thing, we are not yet fully satisfied with the brilliance of plass. “There are no limits to the pos sibilities of the discovery, but I would not like to say that it will entirely supersede glass. " As soon as the factory at Notting ham is completed we shall gc cm the tparekt with all our pressed goods probably in a couple of months, but it wilj be longer before we enter the market with the substitute for glass. "The pressed goods consists of a variety of electrical appliances such as switch covers, cocktail glasses, cups and saucers, end plates." To demonstrate that the glass is unbreakable. Professor Baly threw a square sheet of it on the stone floor, where, after rebounding, it lay intact. The professor declared that plass, if used for shop windows, would be burglar-proof. It could not be cut like glass. THE TURNING POINT Is reached when you decide that it pays to use the best gas and oil if the utmost in satisfaction and ultimate economy is demanded.
