Killed mys teriously along the stnte highway near Kutztown, the body of Monroe Schultz, forty-five yenrs old. steward of the Keystone Stnte Normnl School, was found at 10 o'clock Inst night in n pool of blood. His companion. Mis Clata Keck, twenty-live years old, with whom he hud gone walking, was missing. After nn all-night search for Mis Kick by nearly the entire population of Kutztown, who were guided by blood spots, the young woman was found this morning dazed, with a deep, gash In Iter heml and her body cut nnd bruised. Miss Keck Is unable today to tell a connected story as to what happened, but it in believed that tho couple were struck br nn nutomoblln driven bv n speed maniac, which passed through tho borough at llfty miles an hour and disappeared.

On a mission of mercy itself thnt meant life or death, the driver halted only long enough to see thnt It wns a human being his tires had hit, and then proceeded, reporting the matter to the next car he met. Tho occupants of this car, John Dc turk nnd wife, rushed Dr. II. 7.. Dun kclbergcr, deputy coroner of Kutz town, to the scene, nnd Schultz ex pired In the doctor's arms a few min utes after the latter reached him. Schultz'fl wounds consisted of a frac tured skull, a broken collarbone and broken left leg. It was said that the latter might have been the result of having been run over by the carnival auto, although It was the fractured skull that probably caused death. Doctor Reaches Scene Search In tho vicinity of the tragedy, when It became known that Schultz.had been accompanied by Miss Keck, re vealed the senrchllght which she had carried. County Detective Krlek later found Miss Keek's wrist watch nnd n shoe within n hundred feet of where Schultz lay.

Many r.rnlsed the wifely love that moved i "Janet Ellihon" to offer herself to n $2500 bidder to save her husband. Others charged her with degrading the name of woman by her amazing offer. That a keen t-tudy of the proposed sncriflce hod been made by civic leaders who read her story was evident.

Boggs & Co., 1011 Chestnut Street r 01 What the theatre has taught me about selling Y OU'RE interested in customers in your busi ness; they're useful; you study their needs, their desires, why and when they buy. John Golden, the theatrical producer, has the. whole world as his customer. Hundreds of thou sands of men and women have crowded to see "Turn to the Right," "Three Wise Fools," and "Lightnin'," credited with New York's record run. And Golden has watched them first-hand an opportunity few men have in their own business. In System for September, Golden tells "What the theatre has taught me about selling." "The public knows how to avoid what it doesn't want," he says. . . ."You can't manage a play or a business by a formula . . . No amount of trim ming will cover an essential inadequacy . . . Don't try to fool the public; you can't ..." Golden's success in selling seats has taught him a good many other business principles; why the public must have a "star," for example. "And there's no essential difference between a theatrical and a business star," he says. You ought to read his article. It's the sort of business experience, set forth each month in System, which makes the magazine wanted by a quarter million business men. They get value out of it for their own businesses.

Here's a con cern which keeps discovering new ways to save; the result, they say, of a plan to study each job. So intimate is this information, the author doesn't care to have his concern known. But he is willing jo recount his experiences for the benefit of other business men. In September System. More profits by lower prices The Yellow Cab Co. of Chicago has proved that it could be done. " People use our service now," says John Hertz, "because it is comfortable and reliable; not because it is cheap. The price is a side issue." Finding out what people really want to pay for has an immediate value for every busi ness today. Selling production to our workers The Jobbers Overall Company lost money for a while; but they learned from that experience that "quantity production must be continuous"; and that the best way to get it was to "sell" the idea to their workers.
