VOMEN MAKE LIVES OF CLERKS TORMENT; MEN GOOD BUYERS

la there any difference in the difficulty of selling merchandise to male and female? Many Richmond clerks were asked this question. "Of course," said one, "men are not so often cranky, but when they are! Oh, my, but they are cranks." Men do not go shopping as often as women and they are therefore sometimes slow to make up their minds to what they want, but never, never are they so 'persistent in telling a clerk that they surely have got just what the clerk said they hadn't, as is the fair sex. According to a well informed clerk, this is the way they receive information about their stock: Miss Fair Sex: "Have you so-in-so?" Clerk: "No, we are Just out." Miss Fair Sax: "But I bought some Just a few weeks ago." Clerk: "Yes, we had some at that time, but now it's all gone." Miss Fair Sex: "Are you sure? Maybe you had better ask some clerk that knows." Hard Work is Needed. About this time it takes all of the courtesy and good nature of an ordin.ary human to treat the customer with the proper respect. These people are ! called "old hens" by the experienced store worker, and whenever possible :they are "wished" off on to clerks not very busy in order to save the time of employes busily engaged. Another thing which enters into the sale of goods at this time is the high price. People never fail to ask "when is material coming down?" The poor clerk, not knowing any more about it than VOU nor I. must eivn what will rsound like an intelligent answer. It's

one or the hardest parts of the work. Don't Know Shirt Size. Would anyone believe that the cnjterprising business man, who when consulted about financial matters i seems bo shrewd, is at a total loss iwhen asked the size of his ehirt or socks? But that's, a fact if we are to believe those who deal in those necessities. They either bring their wife, who knows more about the clothes they wear than they do, or trust the "matter to the judgment of a mere clerk. j Sometimes when they are not guessed just right, back they come in a rage to heap blame upon the man or woman who misjudged the size. These little matters, according to the clerk, keep life from getting stale.

Simple! Postal Order System Must Balance at End of the Year, Says Henry Deuker Do you know how Uncle Sam takes care of money orders? According to Henry Deuker, of the Richmond postoffice, the method is very simple. Applicants first write out a money order application blank. The clerk makes out the order from this blank, hands the applicant two receipts one to be sent away and the other to be kept. The clerk keeps one receipt, which is filed away for three years. The part of the money order sent away is cashed at the office designated. No advices are sent from the Richmond office, however. The practice was discontinued nine years ago. All regularly written money orders are honored at postoffices without question. No, the postoffice does not go into the hole by this practice. Deuker explained that there are 23 postoffices near Richmond, in Indiana and Ohio, that send all surplus receipts to Richmond. This surplus from the small offices, which issue many orders but cash few, is used by the Richmond office to take care of money orders presented here to be cashed. This practice is used in postoffices all over the country. And it is the duty of federal auditors and bookkeepers to see that the hundreds of thousands of money orders issued and cashed balance at the end of the year. Some job!

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

PROFITEERING CASE AGAINST WOOLEN GO. DISMISSED BY MACK NEW YORK, June 11 Indictments charging profiteering against the American Woolen companies of New York and Massachusetts and Wm. M. Wood, president of the corporations, Ivere quashed today by Federal Judge Mack. Judge Mack sustained a demurrer interposed by Charles E. Hughes, special council for the defense, which held that woolen goods did not constitute wearing apparel and therefore did not come within the meaning of the Lever act. Judge Mack said wearing apparel was clearly a necessity, but that congress, by its amendment of October 22, 1919, to the original Lever act. clearly had in mind the trade signification of what cloth meant. The court added that although it held that congress had power to regu'late distribution of woolen cloth, it ifelt that since congress did not broaden the trade meaning of the term "wearing apparel" to include a bolt of cloth, the court was unable to find my meaning in the act other than the general trade use of the term.
