LONDON ADS* SCARE
AMERICAN TOURISTS
By WILBUR FORREST
(Special to Gateway by United Press*
LONDON, July 13. — If American
voyagers have qualms about sea trav
eling after a voyage from New York
to London, a short sojourn in London
before continuing across the Channel
to Paris or the North Sea to Holland
is not designed, just at present, to act
as a se la rive to frazzled nerves.
Outfitters shops, liberally scattered
in the American’s usual London itin
erary, ami the newspapers, constantly
sound the warning “Be Prepared.’
Display windows of these outMters
shops are constantly filled with patent
life belts while the newspapers are
reaping a harvest of advertisements
pointing out the relative merits of
“Somebody’s Patent Waistcoat."
A news column al>o is occuMOiudly
devoted to a new invention which ap
pears like an ordinary suit of clothes
hut is capable of floating the heaviest
man.
Here is a sample “ad" from a b:g
London daily which injects a doubt in
to the mind of the most intrepid
civilian sea dog’
“Do not rely on death trap life
belts which turn unconscious wearers
face downward and drown them.
“Remember the Maloja and Sussex
disasters. Our waistcoat makes
drowning impossible by turning the
wearer when he ceases to struggle.
“It has saved hundreds of lives
from the Lusitania, FaUba, Gastello,
Royal Edward, India. Persia, Galicia
and other well known disasters."
The “Ad" is fortified by illustra
! lions showing the “unconscious” sur
■ vivor floating serenly on his back
while others (who failed to go pre
pared are maneauvering through the
preliminaries of a watery death.
One manufacturer of life saving
. waistcoats quotes in his “ad” from
the experiences of a real live Lord
who owes his present status to his
foresight in purchasing a waistcoat
before venturing on the Mediter
ranean.
There are many and divers models
of life saving waistcoats. Inquiry to
day elicited that the sale of all models
since the latest German submarine
’ campaign, has been enormous.
Some models may be worn as an
ordinary vest The prospective sur
vivor has only to reach down and ex
tract a little tube, with a valve at
tached. from somewhere in his shirt
front.
When danger comes he simply in
1 Hates the vest like a football and he
I is ready for the woit>t.
AU travelers from England wear
their waistcoats day and night while
in the danger zones.
The American who leaves London
without this little necessity is in a
c 1 ass by himself.

GHOST OF HAIL-FELLOW
“DRUMMER” LAID AT
SAL ESM E N S Ft >NG R ESS
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
DETROIT, Mich., July 11. — The
ghost of the jovial, buckslapping,
story-telling and often unprincipled
old-time “drummer” is being laid here
today. The resolutions committee of
the lint annual World’s Salesmanship
congress is drafting the planks of an j
international platform, or "standards
of practice.” This will be the first
formal and universal expression of
the ethics of salesmanship ever recog
nized by the profession as a whole.
Long frowned upon by progressive
and efficient businessmen, the hail
fellow-well-met system of salesman
I ship as exemplified by the “drummer”
1 of yore is being finally relegated to j
the commercial and industrial scrap
heap here today. Salesmanship,!
these master sellers argue, is not de
pendent upon any artifice, but is a
legitimate and dignified part of the
daily life of the world. This will be
the keynote of the ethical platform <
drafted today.
Following a goner:.’ session presid
ed over by E. St. Elmo Lewis, depart
mental meetings were held for sales
managers, traveling salesmen and
counter sales people.
