The activities of the home service work have been carried on during the past year by th Social Service bureau and It has had headquarters In the office of the chapter at the courthouse. In April the committee sent out over 2,000 questlonaires to exservice men to discover whether any service could be given them In their settlements with various government departments. Money for living expenses has been advanced to disabled and ill ex-service men pending settlement by tho government. The statement continues: "Innumerable letters have been written for ex-service men or members of their families to the various department of th Bureau of War Risk re

garding allotments and allowances, insurance claims, reinstatement and conversion of government Insurance, payment of Insurance premiums, undelivered army bonuses. Liberty bonds, lost discharge certificates, travel pay, reissue of uniforms, compensation tor ex-service men and their dependants." The committee also worked with the Federal Board of Vocational Education in getting in touch with men who, because f disability were eligible lo vocational training. Tho committee expended $4,336.28, the part for administration and amount paid to Social Service Bureau for services being 2,3S1.15. The Junior Red Cross activities were reporte1 by the committee, J. H. Bentley, chairman: Miss Frances Berry, and Mrs. Frank Druitt. "Every child in tho city schools was enrolled as a member of the Junior Red Cross, the membership requirement being a pledge of service." A Modern crusade .was carried on in the elementary grades and Junior high school and scales were bought for each city fchool not equipped with them so children could be weighed and measured accurately. Under the direction of this committee moving pictures of Red Crops activities abroad were shown rU children, the Red Cross magazine vas sent to every school room in the . county, over 100 dolls were purchased, dressed and shipped to childrea abroad, and several hundred toys were made by the children and sent to children abroad. At an expense of $328.05 about 1,400 gardens were planted and cared for by school children. Miss Clara B. Pound, chairman of the committee on nursing, reported that "During the second semester of last year a course in Home Nursing was given to girls of the Richmond High 6chool. The instructor was loaned by the Dayton Red Cross teaching center, the salary and traveling

expenses being paid by the local chapter. Equipment for the course was loaned by Reld Memorial hospital." Miss Florence E. Taylor, of New York, has been secured as County Public Health Nurse and will assist in the examination of the city school children and do general public health work in the county. Miss Virginia Jones, the Social Service Bureau visiting nurse, will give the course in home nursing and a similar course will be offered to other women if there is a demand for it. Equipment for the course has been ordered by the committee and a Ford coupe has been purchased to enable the nurse to carry on her work throughout the county. Other members of the committee on nursing are Miss Margaret G. Starr, Mrs. E. F. Hiatt, Mrs. W. C. Hibberd, and Miss Amy O. Burns.

Wharves and warehouses are to be built at a cost of $1,700,000 for taking care of imports and shipment of petroleum. This work is being done by the government. At Rosario, the second port of the country, it is proposed to spend $3,000,000 gold, increasing dockage and warehouse facilites. No important additions have been made to this port for ten years and expansion is said to be badly needed. It the plans made are approved by the Minister of Public Works preparations will be made to execute them Immediately.

BUSINESS METHOD TALKS Short Talks Prepared by Merchandising Dept. of The Richmond Palladium

LOCATING A STORE .The methods used in locating a store by present day shrewd merchandisers can be used by the man now in business who feels that he is not making & success. ' . Business exists primarily to give service to the buyer. The business that succeeds is the one whose proprietor realizes this and strives in every way to perfect its service. In locating a store or In reorganizing a business the entire community from which possible customers can be drawn should be surveyed. These questions should be answered by a man before starting a retail establishment: Is this a manufacturing cfty or a city supported by surrounding farming territory? If this is a manufacturing center, are Hie industries nf Sllril a nature in

Is the buying power of the people such that, . considering competition, there Is no. room for another store? Who are my competitors? Are they young or old? Are they progressive or asleep? The United Cigar Stores Company not only counts the people that pass the different locations In a city where they are planning to start a new store, but they analyze whether they are men or women; what time of day they pass and what class of men pass. " In this way they are able to determine how many customers they will be reaching at each location. . .
