NO. 81 Dale Carnegie Author Friands Pwpto." of "How To Wi Influenc Rush Kress of the 10 cent stores told this story which happened one of their Southern chak branches: One day as he was walkin through the crockery departmen he overheard a sharp and bitter conversation be tween a salesglr and a custome: It was about a 1 cent pitcher. Th customer said tha when she ha taken it home sh it broken and the old Harry sh was going to hav I another one.

The salesgir said she had in jspected it care fully, when sh had sold it the day before, and by the double old Harry she wasn' going to exchange it. The air wa: as full ot words as a Kansas whea field of grasshoppers. Bush went up said, "Why this is a simple matter. We'll be glad to give you another pitcher; Then he asked the woman's pardon for the heated way the glr had talked, and the woman gave In a little. The woman took her wrapped up pitcher, much thawed out by this time, and left, A few minutes later, Rush was astonished to see her come into the atore with the pitcher.

"To tell you the truth, woman fumbled for a moment distressed, then burst salesgirl was right I broke il myself:" Mr. Kress was flabbergasted for a moment, but he managed to do a little quick on his feet. Plainly she was ashamed of herself, and right there a customer was to be made or lost. "Well, now, that's mighty square of you," he said. "It takes courage to come back and admit you were wrong.

Not many people would do that. And as a little expression of appreciation for the fine stand you are taking, I want to present you with the. pitcher." The woman was delighted. The store has a customer, that swears by It. and no store under high heaven could take away her trade.

It cost the store 10 cents, Victor Hugo, author of Les Miser- tbles, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and many other classics, won riittlfons of admirers by his world-famous stories. But he wasn't 10 successful at winning friends face to face. Why? Because of his exaggerated opinion of his own importance. He was such an egotist that he wanted the city of Paris renamed in his honor. He lived as a political exile for 14 years on the Island of Guernsey, off the coast of England.

He wrote his most famous novel there, Les Miserables, but he didn't make many friends. He seldom invited people to his house. Occasionally he asked someone to luncheon, bub if the guest interrupted him, he would flash back in an angry voice: "It is I who speak. Attention." There is an idea. If you want to lose friends, if you want people to shun you, do all the talking yourself.

Interrupt others but don't let anyone interfere with your brilliant flow of ideas. If any lesser mind has the temerity to interrupt you, shout "It is I who speafc. Attention."

The number of accidental deaths a- 100,000 population decreased lur per cent during 1937.

Reward Posted in Preventorium Fire Potter County Tuberculosis Association today offered a reward of $50 for information leading to "the arrest and conviction of person or persons," who, members of the association believe, maliciously set fire to the west wing of the Amarillo Tuberculosis Preventorium yesterday morning.

The blaze completely destroyed the building, 28 children barely escaping injury. The amount offered has matched by the Globe-News, bringing the total reward to $100. All indications.are that "this fire was maliciously set," according to members of the executive committee. A number of "peculiar circumstances regarding the fire, and a similar blaze two weeks ago, 1 indicate that, the building was fired deliberately, according to members of the committee. One peculiar circumstance regarding the two fires in the past two weeks is that there were only 8 minutes difference In the time of discovery of the two fires.

Another strange circumstance Is that the two fires broke out in -the only parta of the buildings which were easily accessible from the outside. The strongest clue to the origin of the fire yesterday Is the case of a boy who was the first person to the fire. This boy arrived at the scene of the blaze before firemen or policemen. Later he rode back to town with a policeman. Police and sheriff's department officers today were continuing investigation of the origin of the fire.

Fire Marshal Ed Spann stated that the investigation had not been completed. Fire was discovered yesterday morning at 5:38 o'clock. The 26 children housed in the burning building were marched to safety by Miss Mayme Rails, nurse who was In charge of the preventorium at that hour. Fire followed so closely behind the fleeing children that It was impossible to re-eater the building to recover any of the furnishings of the building. The building, a large frame structure, consisting of two large wards of 12 beds each, two small wards dining room, locker, bath anc 1 shower room, nurses room, reception room and sun parlor was de- Only twisted steel frames of the beds and smoldering ruins remain.

Loss ol the building equipment was estimated at $6,000 by members of the finance committee of the Potter County Tuberculosis Association. The building which was destroyed had been in use only since January 1. Us furnishings were new. Children's, clothing; stored in the'locker room, was also destroyed by the blaze. Patients at the preventorium are being cared fir in the.main building, which two weeks ago was damaged by fire and Is now being repaired, and at the home ot Mrs.

J. L. Scott at 913 Tyler street. Additional beds have been donated by the San Jacinto Kiwanls Club and the Herring Hotel. The Herring Hotel immediately, upon hearing of the fire, donated 15 beds.
