Nothing has ever )een paid on the stock, and al- though the interest on the bonds 27a8 up to the present been met, the returns have been small,, and it is now difficult to make running ex- penses, due to the great number of automobiles, and .the local indus- 'rial depression. We have always andeavored to give a service suffi- ciently frequent to meet the city's requirements, and the maintenance of the equipment has never been neglected, FORCED TO WALK HOME What might have been .a most successful sleigh drive and dance was prevented Monday night by the sophomore years of the university. The bolder spirits of Arts '29 had planned an evening at Cataraqui. Careful plans were made regarding the place of meeting and the form of procedure. Two sleigh loads of freshmen and freshettes got away at six o'clock in spite of the vigil- ance of their seniors, and betook their way to the Cataraqui township hall where they baracaded the doors with everything from chairs tothe 11 cook stove. The sophomores, how- ever, got wind of what was going on. Three sleighs were command- eered and the Cataraqui hall was beseiged by students from every faculty and year in the university. The freshmen refused to lower their barricade, and a forced entry was effected. The back door of the hall gave way after some persuasion. while two or more windows respond- ed to the pounding of the students, One by one the freshmen were thrust from the window to be looked after as they were placed on the snow. In the conflict. a coffee pot was hurled at the invaders. After an exciting evening in which two police offi- cers figured, the merrymakers went gaily homei The freshettes led the procession in a separate convey- ance, while the victors rode in state as the freshmen plodded wearlly behind the chariot of the conquer- ors.

SELLING MRS, MERCHANT By Ruth leigh in "Business" (New York) One day last spring I happened to call, together with a salesman for a line of nationally-advertised women's undergarments, on a buyer in a department store. My mission was more educational than any- thing, so, after I had completed my errand, I stood by while this rep- resentative attempted to get an or- der. The buyer, a woman--we'll call her Miss Smithers--was a blond, and--well, burly. And at that mo- iment, apparently, she was not at all interested in what the salesman was saying; while he expounded the merits of a brand new line, she cast a bored eye over her department. ..and if you wil just com- pare the texture and the weave, Miss Smithers, with the line you're now displaying, you will see why women prefer the finer quality" The salesman was trying hard to inter- 1926 est Miss Smithers but he was get- ting nowhere. She shook her head. "No, I'm satisfied with what we're carrying. Some other time, perhaps." The next day~F was talking to this same salesman, and the conversa- tion veered to the incident of the day before. The salesman, 1 could see, was worried. "Funny thing about that Miss Smithers," he said. "I can't seem to get her interested. proposition, all right." "Why are you so serious with 'her? I asked. "Wihy not joke a bit-- flatter her? You can see she's the type who likes to be flattered. That's the way to get that woman interested--kid her along." And then I proceeded to explain, as tactfully as possible, that, to this particular buyer, he was talking too much common sense. For it was plain that she didn't want to hear sales argu- ments, She wanted personal atten- tion. The salesman listened attentively and 'after some (funther talk we dropped the subject, What I had suggested to him was simply the re- sult of a woman's quick intuitive observation of another woman, | couldnt have told him why I under- stood that buyer; I just knew, being a woman, what was her type, and how she would react to men, The other day, in the office of manufacturer of 'trademarked women's undergarments, 1 chatted with the same salesman. 'How are you getting along with Miss Smith- ers?" I enquired. His face beamed and he began en- thusiastically, 'Say, do you kuow, I can't thank you enough for that hint you gave me about flattering her and joking with her. [I've tried it and it works. 1 see now that she doesn't care about explanations of quality and sueh talk, You get her interested qui¢ker by joshing' This is an getual incident, and ft contains a very practical suggestion for sales managers and for salesmen whose product is merchandised, at wholesale, to women buyers in de- partment stores, to women propriet- ors of retail stores, or to dealer's wives, She's a hard WILL HOLD ANNUAL GARNIVAL FRIDAY President Mrs. Norris Thanks Members for Shower of Dishes, etc. The King St. Home and School Club held a lengthy meeting, on Tuesday evening, which was well attended. Before the business was discussed Mrs, Norris, the president, thanked the members for the shower of spoons, cups and saucers and towels. Miss Cruse's room won the prize for the best attendance of parents. Arrangements were made for Mrs. Norris and a teacher to take a num- ber of children by bus to Toronto on Friday afternoon to see the Art Exhibit, The Club decided to hold their annual skating Carnival on Friday evening with band in attendance.

Dr. Dougal was the the evening and with the many fine pictures of Rome, told the story of "Quo Vadis," in his usual interesting style, The story took the listeners to Rome in* the time of Nero, when Rome was burn- ed and so many Christians were persecuted, The story showed the mystic power of God to save and keep when earthly things failed. Mr. Dunford gave a cornet solo and Miss L. Garrow sang two solos. A hearty vote of thanks was ex- tended to those taking part in the programme. speaker for help of 'Watch Repairing W. A.

It is not the trademark itself, {but what the symbol stands for in the public mind, that gives it real value, The trademark of the L. E. Water- man Company Limited carries with it more than a_ guarantee of a thoroughly satisfactory fountain pen. It is also an assurance of service. fince the inception of the Water- man Company, way back in 1883, it has been the policy to build a sub- stantial background for the pen. This has been accomplished by the construction of Waterman buildings where service stores are maintained, Starting with the original "Pen Corner" at 191 Broadway, New York, Waterman buildings have heen erected in Montreal, Chicago, Bos- ton and San Francisco, with a Europ- ean headquarters at the famous "Pen Corner' in Kingsway, London. The establishment of these build- ings in Canada, the United States and Great Britain enables the Waterman Company to render a | very practical and intimate service | to" the millions of users of Water- | man pens. The substantial invest- ments in buildings are convincing evidence of the stability of the com- pany whose trademark guarantees the pen. Good Recipes ( ole annon can be made of any vegetables.
