It was ^ free-will offering unto God tor the building, provision tor and dec r a. f Jon of his bouse. The people trill giy brought their Jewels and preemus things, metals, fine fab rics also spices, oil. and incense. The glory of the offering was ' fotino .n the willingness of it—no one was constrained to give, the only rVason for the great offering w*as che desire of the people to ®ivt th®* 1, unto God tor the buj.ding of iouse in the wilder ness ‘.The gift without the giver is bare ‘ r Evidently the people in the wilderness gave themselves with their gifts.

Author of "HOW TO WIN HMENDS mod » 'ARGUMENTS NEVER MAKE SALES M R. KRUPP represented a hydraulic elevator company, and wished to get an order from Mr. K. Moley Braun, New York City. Mr. Braun was the .2.1 f 11 elevator con:pany. ~ .v* When Mr. Rriipp went in, Mr. Braun leofcea up: •‘Well, what do you want?" M I want to sell you a hydraulic elevator." Mr. Braun bristled. ‘Tve been manufacturing hydraulic elevators f^r twenty years," he said, intimating that he « knew more about hydraulic elevators than Mr. Krupp did. Mr. Krupp stripped for battle. So Braun thought he knew all about elevators, did he? Well, he would show him that he knew a thing or two himself. Suddenly a thought began to whirl around in his head. "Just what good will that do?" he asked himself. "Suppose I do show him that I know more than he does? Will it get me anywhere?" Aloud he said: *TU have to admit I'm new in this business. There are a lot of things I don't know about it. If your concern has been manufacturing elevators for twenty years, you can give me a lot of help. I would like to ask you some questions." Mr. Braun looked at Mr. Krupp with real inter est. Why! Here was a man who wanted to learn something. The two men talked until seven o'clock. Mr. Braun's mind drifted now and then. Finally he said he figured that it would probably be cheaper for his company to buy its equip* ment from Mr. Krupp's company than it was to manufac ture it themselves! Not only this, but he said that he would like to represent Mr. Krupp's company. Mr. Braun bore an excellent reputation; a better man couldn't be found. So the deal was made. Mr. Krupp kept from arguing with a customer and won a sales representative! tliink what would.have happened if he had banged loose and tried to show Mr. Braun how much he knew* . . Here is a simple idea which you can apply. The first time. a customer Starts to argue, hold a rein over yourself. Pdtmttiood BY •>7I MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor, Parents’ Magazine TASTES THAT FOLLOW TRENDS H AS Jane been saying that all she wants in this world is a woolly white coat just like those all the other girls are wearing? And is Johnny begging for a windbreak- er of exactly zhe same color and cut as those sported by all his school friends? If so—and such is the case-in many households—you may be wondering whether the boys and girls of the present gen eration have any originality at all. They all want to be turned out ex actly alike. Naturally, this tenden- cy to imitate others can be very discouraging to mothers who may have standards of taste, that do not fit in with the current trend. But this is nothing new among youngsters. Think back to your own •chool (jays. Even then, certain styles and colors were “the rage” —until they Were replaced by new ones. It is all part of the desire tp conform, a desire that.is uni versal among us humans. So we reaDy should pot make an issue of it.‘ The best thing we can do to keep peace in the family is to give in whenever possible, always, of course, with an bye to what is K actical and feasible from the ancial point of view. The time to be torn is when ear boys and girls show a tendency to took down on or make fun of those who cannot afford or do hot' want to con form to the style of the moment. Children can be very cruel about such things. To ridicule ethers because of their elothes is al most as bad as showing preju dice toward boys and girls of other races and religious creeds. We must be on our guard to make it clear that everybody is not, and should not be. Just like everybody else. After all, we might point out, clothes do not make the man, any more than does the church a person attends. What counts is what lies within. People should be respected for what they are as individuals, for their character and talents. And sometimes those who seem at first glance very different from ourselves - turn out, on closer acquaintance, to be very good friends indeed. It’s'worth looking below the surface to ' find out, because when we do we gain better understanding of others and are better un derstood in return. We Americans have built up a great country out of many differ ent peoples, with different back grounds and ideas. One of thq reasons we have succeeded is be cause, for the most part, we have shown respect for the next fellow. We know he has as much right to his way of dressing, and thinking, and worshipping God, as we have to ours. We want to keep things that way. > So let us be on the alert for any signs of prejudice, whether they stem from differences in clothes or anything else. Some of our boys and girls may be happier if they dress just like the boys and girls next door—but they will be mighty unhappy some day if they carry their desire for “alike- ness” into more important aspects of their lives. As parents, we ought to make that very clear. UDGETi 1— What Is the common name for the gem “carbuncle.” (a) opan, (b) pearl, (c) garnet, (d) opal. \ 2— What U.
