Cap well Co. store.) Senate and House Conferees VRecomend American Registry WASinNOTON. Aug. 18. House and ping today reached a complete agree -T 1.1 iJU- -X v-sr ment, recommending" to (fctwnm that vila rntfatJirad under tha act be permitted to Kim in the ooaat-Wls trade within two year from Us The Amendment, as It passed the was designed as an emergency measure -to relieve the congestion of over, eexa commerce, owing to the withdrawal of the treat fleets of ths nations involved In the European war.

The Senate amend, ed the bill so as to admit foreign built ships to the trade between Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States and on the Gulf and Qreat Lakes and out of this proposal grew the agreement The conference report was presented to both houses today and Indications were that tt would precipitate lively debate, particularly the proposal to open coastwise trad to foreign-built vessels, which Is being vigorously opposed by shipping and shlp-bulldlng Interests. SOLICITOR JOHNSON'S A formal deotslon by Solicitor Johnson of the State Department Is believed to hsve removed any doubt over the question as to the light to change the register of a ship by a belligerent In time of war. Requirements of international law, he contends, demand that no transfer of a vessel shall be mad In a blockaded port or while the ship Is on the high seas. He declares, however, that with this limitation It simply is necessary that the sale be made in good faith, with no intention to evade the consequences to which an enemy would be exposed and with no understanding, "expressed or tacit, that the vessel is to be retransf erred after hostilities." "The right of neutrals," says Solicitor Johnson, "to purchase merchant ships from belligerents in time of war is baaed upon, and is indeed part of the right of neutrals, to continue in time of war to Wade with belligerents, which right Is un-Jkloubtedly subjsct to certain exceptions re. latlng principally to contraband and blockade.

This right to trade with belligerents is of universal recognition, although on occasion it has been denied in practice. AMERICA RESISTED DECISION. "During the Napoleonic wars the French and British governments assumed to dictate the trade in which neutrals should Ibe permitted to engage with ths belllger-4ents and to -prohibit them from trading "with belligerents altogether. But these decrees met with the firmest resistance on the part of the American government at the time, and after the occasions iv which produced them had passed, the English government was compelled to reprobate and abandon thent The commerce of neutrals should not be interrupted by the exigencies of war.

INI I J. i I II II taking the coal off the rack as she speaks, she is many times more effective than the one who asks a question. But she, too, is not as effective as she might be.

PSYCHOLOGY OF SALES. One of the most Important things for salespeople to learn Is to catch the customer Just WHERE SHE 13 IN THOUGHT. This customer show above Is evli dently an artlstlo person. She is obviously thinking about the appearance of the sleeve. When the salesperson spoke about prloe she sskei the oustomer to Instantly change her thought from what she was at that moment interested in, the sleeve, to the strongest selling point To thus abruptly change the thought of the customer has a strong psychological significance In that It slightly disturbs the harmonloue relation that should exist between salesperson snd customer.

How much more effective "the salesperson would have been If she had watched actions closely arid caught the customer Just where she was In thought, in her first statement. "Note how attractive chinchilla makes up in the new raglan sleeve." This Is a suggestive statement entering into the very thought of the customer. As a result there Is complete harmony of the two minds at the start This one lesson applied by many salespeople has meant much in the effective handling of the customer who is JUST LOOKING AROUND. Tomorrow we will consider the various types of customers met and how to handle them. 7 ir In the EastnTbesides the big cities with their crowds, their massive buildings and historic associations, there are hundreds of other places fully worth a visit Wonderful Niagara Falls, the beautiful Thousand Islands of the "St Lawrence, the Adirondack and White Mountains, Maine, Canadian and Atlantic Coast Resorts are all made available by short articles will be based on very careful observations in the stores.

They will be practical and bring out only those things which salespeople are most deficient in. One day I was standing In the ladles' suit department of a large store. A customer stopped for a moment to look at a coat on display. She was very stylishly dressed and was looking at the sleeve, Just as hi the above pictures. Instantly I recognized that this was an artlstlo customer whose appearance and actions showed she was interested in style, appearance, etc The card above tho coats showid that the price Was a strong selling point I was Interested in knowing what the salesperson would do.

One came up.I listened. "Something I can show you in coats?" It was the little negative suggestion, the question which gives the customer, who Is looking around, a chance to say, as in this case: "No, I was Just looking around." How much better a little euggestlve question would have been. In Los Angeles seventy-four observations were taken on Just this point and it was found that sixty-one salespeople asked a question as against thirteen who offered a little suggestive statement. And only five knew the key to handling this customer in the MOST EFFECTIVE WAT. For Instance: The customer Is looking at the sleeve.

The strongest selling point Is prloe. If one saleslady comes up and says: "An excellent value for $12.85," WAR THREATENS SUPPLY OFCIGARETTE. PAPERS SAN FRANCISCO, Auff. 18.Helpl Bring on the "Dove of Peace!" The "makln's" ere In danger. That European war is serious.

My Lady Nicotine is marooned. Wholesale tobacconists report that the stocks of imported cigarette papers are low and the prospects are that importation will be cut off by hostilities. The principal sources of supply of cigarette papers are in Austria and France. The Austrian produce, particularly, the brown or wheat straw papers, the mainstay of a "pill roller's" hand-rolled "twistln's." From France come the finer grades of rice paper, and the monogramed and silk tipped covers of the expensive "tailor mades." It appears that the big manufacturers have enough paper, in stock to meet their needs for several months, but few are without grave fears concerning the certainty of the future supply, RETURNS FROM CONFERENCE.
