Here is another suggestion
for the business man who adver-
tises or ought to advertise.
Advertising space is valuable
in proportion to the extent and
character of circulation of the
advertising medium.
The Stars advertising rate
for a given space for three
months or more is less than s
cents per line, without changes;
for ten thousand lines to be
used within a year, changes at
will, the rate is u cents per line.
The Stars circulation is be-
lieved to be five times that of
any afternoon paper in Wash
ington-no other afternoon pa
per makes public its circulation.
On this basis it is therefore easy
to calculate that a fair rate for
space in other afternoon papers
would be one cent line where
The Star charges five and II
cents a line as against The Stars
charge of u cents.

Finishes the First Round Three MIN
utes Ahead.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., September 25-The
outlook for a race today between the half
raters Ethelwynn and Spruce " was not
promising this morning. There was little
or no wind astir. At 1870 o'clock long
whistle was heard on the observatory, and
all hands knew that the race had been
started.
A couple of minutes later the Ethelwynn
appeared in sight from behind the point of
land that obstructs the view of the start
ing line. She was sailing with lifted sheet
and going through the water at rate so
lively that it became known that the
yachts had more wind than was felt on the
club house. Spruce did not come into the
range of vision for some time. When she
did appear, she was at least a dozen
lengths astern of her leader.
Spruce crossed the line at 12:3O:OO, and
Ethelwynn followed well to windward at

W0s Hauled Tn.

Henry Martin, mortar mixer, employed
at the new city post Office building. had
an uncomfortable experience about 10
o'clock this morning and one he is not
anxious to repeat. He had prepared a large
tub Of mortar for the use of the stone
masons and had attached 1t to the derrick
rope, so that it might be hoisted to the top
of the walls when the signal was given the
engineer to pull up. Martins foot in some
way became entangled in the guy line, be-
ing caught in what is technically called a
half hitch-a sort of slip knot-and he was
terrified to realize that he as well as the
mortar was being steadily raised toward
the top story of the high building. Being
caught around the ankle, he hung head
downward, but had presence of mind to
also keep tight hold with his hands. 1t
was some time before the engineer was
given the, signal to reverse the engine-not
until Martin had been carried up to within
one story Of the top of the walls, a dis
lance of fully seventy-f1ve feet He was
safely lowered to the ground and this after
neon was again at work. suffering no other
inconver ience'than a soreness of the leg.
but it is not unreasonable to suppose that
hereafter he will be careful as to how he
gets his foot tangled in derrick ropes.
