SALARIES OF GOVERNORS Only nine governors in the United States receive an annual salary greater than that of SB,OOO paid to Ed. Jackson. [lndiana’s chief executive. In addition to his salary, the Hoosier governor is given a home and $2,400 annually for its maintenance. A similar policy is observed in several other states, especially in those where the salaries are small Pennsylvania pays its governor more than any other state, the annual salary being SIB,OOO. Illinois is second with $12,000, and California, Massachusetts. New Jersey. New York, Ohio and West Virginia are next, each paying SIO,OOO. Florida’s constitution provides a salary of $9,000 to the governor. Rhode Island is the only other state excepting Indiana which places the salary limit at SB,OOO a year. Eight other states pay $7,500 and then the scale goes ] down gradually until it reaches i the $3,000 mark. South Dakota, I New Hampshire, and Vermont • pay their governors only $3,000. j Where the salaries are small, however .the state legislatures , in several instances have provid-: ed executive mansions and an annual fund for their main ten- • ance. . This is true in South Dakota and Nevada. Several states wouM have to amend their constitutions to provide an increase, i Starting out in 1816, when the Indiana governor was paid only SI,OOO annually, the amount has been changed ten times. The first increase was granted in 1831, when the salary was set at $1,200. Six years later it was boosted^to $1,500, but in 1844 was reduced to $1,300. In 1852 it was boosted to $1,500 again and Seven years later doubled For thirteen years. Indiana governors received $3,000 annually for their services, but in 1872 the figure was increased *to k SB,OOO. The legislature apparently believed that amount prohibitive. for in 1876 the pay was reduced to $6,000 and 1879 another SI,OOO was lopped off. The position was believed to be worth SB,OOO in 1905 and it has remained at that figure since. The executive mansion was given by the city of Indianapolis and Warren T. MdCray was the first governor to occupy it That was five years ago. - o SELLING BY TELEPHONE The extent to which a telephone sales plan may be developin the modem department store, is shown by the success of a Canadian store that employed a sales force of over 120 persons just to take, care of telephone orders. In 1923. the General Merchandising Department handled 699.840 telephone orders, totaling $870,583. The grocery, meat and fish department handled I 301.534 telephone orders, totaling $1,165,821, These telephone orr ,ders averaged a fraction more than sl.' The figures for 1924 showed an increase of 10 per cent in volume of orders handled, and a 12.5 per cent increase in the amount per order. Figures for 1925 are now being analyzed and are expected to show an even greater gain. Makes Pumping Up lores Unnecessary Chicago, Ill.—F. E. Hughes, Suite 130, 2512 Monroe, this city, has perfected a new air-tight valve cap that enables auto owners to pump up their tires once and never touch them again until punctured or worn out. Leading tire manufacturers, after thorough tests, have approved Mr. Hughes’ invention and banished the old theory that air escapes thru rubber. One inflation lasts the Efe of a tire, and tire mileage is j doubled. These cepe retail for SUS for set of five. The inventor wants agents and will send proof and sampiea rrcc. wnsc turn uMJiy*

INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP Individual ownership of manufacturing establishments, the controlled and operated by one man, the proprietor-manager, wil 1 be a thing of the past in American industry within another quarter of a century, if the diffusion o f ownership interest business continues as it has for twenty-five years, according to a study made by the National Industrial Conference Board. The earliest census inquiry into character ownership was that of 1900„ when there was 37.123 manvfactoring establishments irv the United States operated by 8 corporations, constituting 179 per cent of th? total number in the country. In 1919, 91,517 n-» nufacturing establishments out of a total of 290.105 were incorporated. But. although they constituted only 31.5 per cent of all establishments, they employed 86.5 per cent of all wage earners and produced 87.7 per cent, in value, of «dl manufactured products in 1919. While later census figures are not available. indications are that this trend is continuing. —o - TATTOOING The practice of tatooing was world-wide among primitive peoples, it is said. Ahnost as ancient as the world, we find the practice forbidden to the Jews as long ago as the beginning of the Old Testamen t Originally adopted as the easiest form of ornament and as a sort of decoration to attract the opposite sex, tattooing next becatfne a kind of military uniform and the savage tattooed himself as horribly as possible with the icfea of frightening off his enemies. Then the custom took on a religious meaning and at last became a trade mark, each family having its own sacred tattoo.

RURAL HOSPITALS The Department of Agriculture has been investigating pioneer work done by many farming communities in establishing rural hospitals w’ith the abject in view of encouraging similar action in localities which at present are without Hospital facilities. The department draws attention to the fact that there is a growing shortage of country doctors. Graduates in medicine, after going through an expensive and lengthy specialized training, prefer city practice where up-to-date medical facilities are available. Ndt more than 12 per cent of the rural population of the United States, it is said, enjoys anything like modern health supervision. Forty Kentucky counties in 1924 were reported to be without adequate medical service. One of these counties had not a single doctor. In a Montana county of 5.000 square miles there were only three doctors and no hospitals. In Minnesota 127 small villages were reported to be without doctors. Similar conditions existed in the Dakotas. This situation is believed to be largely due to the fact that modern medical education is developing physicians w’ho will not consent to dispense with the advantages of up-to-date clinics and Liboratories. Hospitals are as necessary to community welfare as the church or school. o ■ A dozen gondoliers have arrived in Florida from Venice to pidot their pictureesque craft on the bayous and mud flats of Miami.
