longs to ourselves. Later on, when
the Filipinos get more civilized and
Americanized we will teach them this
practice also. OF course, they are not
qualified for American citizenship and

The pendulum of reform which seems

This condition is not the result of sud

largest appropriation that has ever been
asked for at any one time in the history
of the government. It is more than
double the entire expenditure of the fed

pensioners on the roll today is s93,529, or
nearly twice as many as there were ten

Close observers OF changes that are
taking place in the advertising field have
noticed considerable falling OFF III the
volume of advertising in magazines.
These publications don't carry any longer
as much advertising as formerly Ad-
vertisers have begun to learn (at heavy
expense) four things:
l. That magazines are, with the ex-
ception of perhaps two, not mail order
mediums, as the largest percentage of
their circulation is IN tine large cities.
while most of the mail order business
comes from small cities, villages ard
farms.
2. That the masses can only be reach
ed by the dai1--s, especially taeir Sun
Gay issues, within are veritah-e mag
zines. The magazines are read by the
classes, the better classes. but they have
always been in the habit OF reading 4
Sunday paper first before a rrasaz1Ilr
3. General advertisers using magazines
are liable to meet much duplication, as
too many people are in the habit of ply
ing and reading two or three magazines
each month.
A. That duplication can be avoided by
a careful selection of Sunday papers,
which also cost considerably less.
