LUMINOUS LIGHTS PLEASE OFFICIALS
City officials are greatly pleased with the luminous arc lamp which was hung last night over the corner of Fifth and Main streets. They believe it to be the best type of street arc lamp yet experimented with In this city. It has a wide and brilliant illumination. At the board meeting this morning President Bavis unqualifiedly declared himself in favor of this type of lamp. Superintendent Kleinknecht today estimated that It would cost the property owners on the first block of North Nineteentn street, Reeveston addition, $737.40 to have all electric light wires placed In a conduit, and it is believed it will cost a third of that amount to place telephone wires in a conduit.

A bevy of agents who will sell you anything you ever wanted or needed or anything you or your children may ever need, may call on you any day. For there are a few dozen agents of various kinds, manners, degrees and classes In the city, probably not by previous arrangement but by poor luck. Here is a woman canvasser. She will sell you a magazine for a year and give you a pattern for about onefourth of the price marked on the front of the sample copy. Beyond a doubt, it is the best little magazine proposition ever handed out in Richmond because she said so. Another team is disposing of face lotions and other prepnrations while still another would sell you a massage machine. Unless you purchase these things, your face will cease to
be beautiful as your skin is in need I of treatment. If you do buy the of-j fered goods, when you walk down Main street men will 6top to look ! twice at you if you are a woman and women will be unable to resist your
clean fresh look n you are a man. The agent said so. Meals Never Burn. Meals will neve" burn. You can hang over the back fence and talk to your neighbor all afternoon if you buy a certain brand of aluminum ware being disposed of by four or five agents. Using any kind of cooking utensils except aluminum is equivalent to burn-
i ing home made candles for light. The
agent did not say so but left that impression. You can get brushes which will make you less work, an atlas contaln-
! ing full and complete information of
the world, books which will keep the mind oiled, and a device to replace matches. This letter device Is an ab
solute necessity and precludes future
IJussiuiui in lire nnu lue uiu siyie parlor match. The agents are a good class of people. They are not as bothersome as many agents have been In the past anu in fact the police have not had a
complaint against them, which is an I unusual thing with so many in the I
city. Boarding houses are filled with them. The down town district will seem deserted when they and their suit cases, sample cases or travelling bags depart. Many of the agents are

who are filling in the summer time
until college opens or until the world finds them a nicne to fillObey The Rule. However, many of them carry out rules 4, 6 and 7 of Article 1 In the little book the manager himself wrote on how to be a successful agent and how to meet people. It Is Impossible to open the door to a crack, peep out and then shut it again. The agent stands on the same side as your door knob and stands silently until the door is open wide. Then politely lifting his hat and murmuring a few words of greeting to cover up the fact that he is placing his foot on the edge of the door to prevent its suddenly coming to. he launches into his spiel. Ho has carried out rules 4 and 6. Rule 7 Is much longer. This rule Is of vital importance because it Is with it. that they key to entering the homes lies. Unless the personality of the agent is such that he can enter the home without the use of the rule, he follows out the methods prescribed in the book of rules. He arouses your interest and curiosity. He has something you cannot conveniently exist without, not if you are a progressive person of brains and culture. You may have seen those things before but from the shape of his sample case, there must be something else without which you cannot live but only exist. By use of such a psychological development of ideas, he finally comes in. takes your order (no money is asked this timej and asks the next door neighbor's name before leaving. He is still polite because he will return later when the vital part of the procedure comes, that of collecting the money. Then when the agent Is gone, there only remains to wait until the husband comes home. With scorn he views you but almost always you can say weakly. 'Well, he is trying to get money to go through college and he was such a nice young man."

iKORGE W. PKRKINS ABOVE AND AMOS PINCHOT. Amos Iinchot. recently attacked George W. Perkins, the wealthiest leader of the Progressive party.
