BUSINESS CUSTOMS

Amusing Incidents Related About Spanish-American Merchants.

REPORTS ARE MADE

By Commercial Club Committees on Matters Before . Organization.

A. F. Martinez, representative of the foreign department of the Starr Piano company, formerly a resident of Porto

Rico, gave an address on the "Commercial Customs of the Spanish-American People," at the regular meeting of the Commercial club last evening. Mr. Martinez is a Mexican by birth though he was educated in this country. He attended Columbia University in New York city until his father, Dr. Ygnacio Martinez, became involved in the trouble of the revolutionists against the federal government of Mexico. He was assassinated in 1869. Mr. Martinez was one of the first Mexican children sent to this country to be schooled. Amusing incidents were related by the speaker to show how catalogues sent to the Spanish-American countries by American corporations, translated into Spanish, are taken as a joke and fail to bring the desired results. Experts who translate the books make many mistakes, he said. Business transacted in these countries must be done by salesmen who first become acquainted with the men with whom they are doing business and after friendship has grown up between them they are their life long patrons. "It takes two weeks to do business with merchants of SpanishAmerican countries which can be transacted between two Americans in one day," said Mr. Martinez. "Should a salesman representing another firm use the same tactics as a salesman who had preceded him and get the confidence of the prospective patron he will not do business with him even

though his goods may be better and cheaper. "Once a salesman has made a friend of a merchant in these countries business will always be transacted between the two firms, while in America a business house will cancel contracts for the difference of a penny" said Mr. Martinez. To Show Pictures. Representative J. J. Shafer, of the National Cash Register Company of Dayton, announced that a free exhibition of Kenneman colored motion pictures would be given at the Gennett theater 26-27. The pictures will be Bhown here under the auspices of the National Cash Register Co. and will illustrate various types of landscape gardening and various systems of beautifying" residence sections. Transformation scenes will be shown demonstrating how slum neighborhoods

have been changed into beautiful residence sections by covering eyesores with vines and window boxes. Many of the scenes are in the vicinity of the plant of the company. Arrangements will be made with the school authorities to give the exhibition in the afternoon at an hour which will not conflict "with the work of the school children. Few Shares Untold. As chairman of the Richmond Lake and Park project, H. R. Robinson gave a report of the condition of the work at this time and also reviewed the work of the committee which had charge of the proposition since it was 'planned three years ago. Engineers were quoted as stating that the water would not raise more than 12 or 15 feet at the Main street bridge should the dam give away, showing that there is no danger of floods. The section of the city where the lake will be formed will be transformed into a new Richmond and property will be more valuable according to Mr. Robinson. "Now is the critical time in the history of the proposed lake and park and the committee needs money to finance the project. The foundation of the dam 'has been completed and the vertical walls are now being construtced. here are stil several shares in the

ifcands of the committee which must be ,'sold," said Mr. Robinson. Report On Dairies. The committee on Dairy Inspection i made a report which shows that the t condition of the milk being furnished the residents of this city is above the

standard though in some cases there is need of improvement. In the scoring by the city inspector one of the dairies scored below fifty, sixteen from 50 to 60, thirteen from 60 to 70 and four were above seventy. It is believed that the dairies should all score above sixty and the club passed a resolution to have the names of the dairymen who scored above 60 published though a reasonable length of time will be given to the dairymen who scored below this number to bring their dairies up

to the desired standard. The matter of oiling streets in the city was taken up and the proposition made clear to the members of the club what course should be taken by those who wish to have the streets oiled. Several members of the club stated that they would take up the proposition of oiling the streets with Contractor Davis who is in the city at this time. Buy More Plants. The committee in charge of "clean; ing up week" made a report of the work done by children in the schools. The work of Mrs. F. W. Stephens and Mrs. J. B. Rush was commended and a motion was passed to extend a vote of appreciation to them. The names of the school children who worked the longest time were read before the club. The report was made by Sharon E. Jones, chairman of the committee. The

report will be used as a model from which the work in future years will be compared. An appropriation of $48.51 was made to buy plants for the children who worked the required length of time. This sum was appropriated because the amount originally appropriated was insufficient.

"Girls," as presented last evening at the Murray theater by the Francis Sayles players, who are entering upon a second week's engagement in this city seemed to please the large audience in attendance The play is quite different from many now being staged by stock companies, and was put on last evening in a most excellent and complmentary manner. The play was written by Clyde Fitch and is in three acts. Fitch's plays are very popular. He had the habit of working on several plays at the same time. He formerly had a separate portfolio for each play and would stick his notes and data into each portfolio whenever the case demanded. Quite a little comedy runs through

the play of "Girls," and those taking part are very clever. The curtain rises on a pretty little scene representing a studio in New York, occupied by three girls, who have sworn to have nothing to do with men. They declare they are suffragists and can live without "the necessary evil." The girls are seeking positions, and it is quite comical to hear them tell of their day's experiences when they gather at the studio in the evening. The second act depicts a scene in the law office of Sprague & Holt. George H. Sprague, senior partner, and acted by J. J. Flynn, gives an excellent portrayal of the fresh and offensive "old dude," who is always making live to all the young girls that come under

his observation. The junior partner,

Edgar Holt, acted by Francis Sayles,

Is more diplomatic, and arranges in. a

clever manner to win the love of Miss Pamela Gordon, secretary and stenographer, acted by Miss Olga Worth, leading woman. Miss Gordan despises man and is a radical suffragist. Her denunciation of men is very emphatic,

and her acting is excellent.

Miss Lucille Purcelle, elocutionist,

taken by Agnes Earle, is xery good.

She does her part In a most creditable

manner and occasions much amusement for the audience by her many

silly remarks. She is a typical old maid .looking for a "man."

Violet Lansdown, stenographer and

illustrator, is very clever. The part

is taken by Evelyn Kincaid.

The other member of the trio is Leta Eyferth, who takes the part of Kate West. She joins a theatrical company

and ends by marrying the manager.

Miss Gordon marries the junior member of the firm, and Miss Violet marries Frank Loot, a clerk of the law firm. The play ends happily. "Girls" will be presented all week at the theater with the regular matinees. The leading lady is very attractive, and is making many friends. The company is one of the best ever appearing In this city. E. R. T.

HOUSE ISJETBOYED Fire Originated From Spark From Chimney.

(Palladium Special) EATON, O.. May 13. A fire originating from a spark from a chimney Monday totally destroyed a large twostory house on a farm owned by former Governor Andrew L. Harris in the Cedar Grove neighborhood, 6 miles southwest of Eaton. All the household effects of its occupants. Lot Parks and family, were carried to safety. The loss is estimated by Harris at $2,000, who carried only a small amount of insurance on the house. A neighbor telephoned the Parks family the information that the house was afire. An alarm in the neighborhood was sounded, and in a short time the crowd that had gathered resembled the attendance at a public sale. All worked hard and were successful in preventing the flames from commu

nicating with adjoining buildings.

Teachers and the' Cost of Living

Most of the teachers In the United ' out of 13S married teachers would.

States have, in effect, had their salaries reduced since 1897. Despite an apparent increase in money received, the high cost of living has cut into their salaries just as definitely as if a school board had sliced them. A teaching position which paid $600 salary in 1897 is paying in purchasing power the equivalent of about $416

if they were to die now. leave In insurance or any ether property as much as ten times their annual salary the lowest Bum that might be expected to provide for the family. How the high cost of living affects particularly the teacher who seeks to marry and have a home is strikingly

demonstrated. In Denver, a city of

"I believe." write a Denver principal, "that teachers should aW tend concerts and good plays and tax trips. So does my wife, but my salary necessitates a choice between thes

things and rearing a family. We chose

the latter."

Many other significant sidelights on

the high cost of living, particularly as it affects teachers, are brought out in the report on "Teachers Salaries and Cost of Living." The commissioner of

education at Washington has a limited number of copies of the report for free distribution.

Rheumatism Quickly Cured. "My sister's husband had an attack of rheumatism in his arm," writes a well-known resident of Newton, Iowa. "I gave him a bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment, which he applied to bis arm, and on the next morning the rheumatism was gone." For chronic muscular rheumatism you will find nothing better than Chamberlain's Liniment. Sold by all dealers.

. Murrette. A program of more than ordinary interest will be presented at the Murrette today in addition to the regular program of three first run pictures (one of them being a Pathe colored film which in itself alone would be well worth the price of admission.) The Sailor Boys Harmony 4," a locaT organization, and very popular with lovers of music. This attraction alone should draw capacity audiences to the Murrette during their appearance at this popular theater this week. "The Adventures of an Heiress," a "Kalem" picture released May 12 (yesterday) shows how the daughter of a million

aire against her father's wishes joins some girl friends in raising funds for a benevolent organization by selling tags on "Tag Day." How she Is robbed of a valuable necklace by a notorious crook who buys a "Tag" from her; how the crook is finally caught and the necklace returned to her makes a very nterestlng picture. "The Wrong Pair," a comedy will also be seen.

States bureau of education. Dr. Robert C. Brooks, executive secretary of the N E. A. committee.

which prepared the report, shows by

bureau of labor figures that wholesale prices had increased 50.2 per cent in the same period, while in June.1912.

retail food prices were 61.7 per cent higher than in 1896. With these figures as a basis, he analyzes teachers' salaries in five cities in different parts

of the United States and demonstrates

the plight of the teachers in the problem of increased cost of living.

According to the Brooks report, the

teachers do not receive enough salary, even in the cities, to save money to carry adequate life insurance or to

proceed with further professional training. Out of the 1,600 teachers investigated, only thirteen were found who possessed property over $15,000, and practically every one of these thirteen owed their good fortune to sources other than their salaries as teachers. Nearly all of the men teach

ers carried life insurance, but few of

them a sufficient amount. Only four

of only $413 for the equivalent of each adult person, including themselves. Teachers spend more than workingmen for some things, though their pay is about the same. Rent and clothing are bigger items in the teacher's budget than in the laborer's, indicating more exacting community demands. Teachers also spend relatively more than workingmen for life insurance, religious purposes, charity, amuse-
