Commander Lee M. Lipscomb Of the Dis

rams, Is making arrangements for the par
ticipation OF that organization and the five
local womens auxiliaries, in two events of
unusual interest in the near future. The
first of these events is the dedication OF
a splendid monument at Arlington April 30
in memory of the American soldiers who
gave up their lives for their country dur
ing the war with Spain The second event
will be the Memorial day ceremonies over
the graves of the same soldiers May 30,
which will be conducted this year by the
Spanish War Veterans on more elaborate
scale than ever before.
The monument, which will be an impor-

comforts and luxuries not induce the wrong

wise Italy to keep at home until they are

One Bright Young Man Got High
Price for His.
An elderly gentleman. whose appearance
correctly indicated him to be a man Of
wealth, handed young man check few
afternoons ago In the lobby Of an uptown
hotel Observing that 1t was drawn for
81. 600, friend remarked that the young
man must havesrendered some important
service to the benevolent gentleman.
'.He has," replied the latter. He put
81. 900 600 into my pocket"
'Why didn't he keep 1t himself?" asked
the friend enviously, as such examples of
generosity are rare.
Because he could not use it; the $1,000
will be more available to him. I will ex-
plain as neither OF US We're actuated by
motives Of generosity, but cold business
"As you sknowssI am the president of
corporation, which some people call a
trust that is one of the largest advertisers
In the world as we spend thousa nds-yes,
in letting s-the people know that our ar
ticles are just what they must have, what
ever else they don't have.
I'VE believe in advertising, and this
young man knows it, and has prOfited
cOrdngly. He came to me today, as We are
utter strangers. and asked me II | would
pay him 81 ,0CO for an idea on advertising
our goods. / did not try to beat him down
to s1OO a good figure for an idea, but
promptly told him that l would gladly pay
his price if. upon communicating to me the
idea, l considered it worth what he de-
manded Otherwise / would pay him what
, /, and not he, considered 1t worth.
ITO this he readily assented and in an
hours talk he explained to me the brightest
idea on advertising l have ever received
out of thousands of suggestions. We will
make over 81, 100000 profit inside Of year
on increased sales and permanent business
retained. So. you see, his price was cheap.
Fortunes have been made In business by
the advertising OF a single suggestion In
such a manner that the public see 1t out
Of the great mass Of printed matter going
through their hands, and this tide Of ad-
vertisement flows so rapidly that there
must be something above another which at
tracts public attention. This something
was what that bright young man gave to
me, and am very much obliged to him"

District OF Columbia Volunteer Regiment
buried at Arlington. In addition to these.

soldiers who served in other regiments and
organizations during the Spanish war be-
meath the mounds at Arlington. There were
many District men In the 4th Immunes, the
Engineer and Signal Corps. the navy and

as officers In other organizations. In fact.
the District OF Columbia furnished soldiers
for the war far beyond the actual quota.

Sun and Skin.
rom the Buenos Ayres Herald.

From the Buenos Ayres Herald.
A physician has been investigating some
of the effects of direct sunlight on the skin.
Painting band on his arm with India ink,
he exposed the member to a scorchiRg sun.
The usual painful effects followed, except
beneath the band. where the skin remained
white and unaffected. He suggests that the
tan which continued exposure produces
upon the skin is a protective effect. II
further experiments establish this inter-
ference, a further hypothesis will be
rendered probable. namely, that the power
acquired by the human skin In the tropics.
Of secreting pigment is really protective
of its lower and functionally active layers.
Offhand one would be apt to conclude that
a black skin ought to increase the heat ef-
fects Of the solar radiance. We are re-
quired now to learn whether the harm is
really done by the heat rays, for conceiva-
bly, 1t may be due to any other Of the di-
verse sorts Of vibration Of which that ra-
dance is now known to be highly COM
plex phenomenon.

of the Spanish peninsula Moreover. the
European papers at that time were filled
with absurd accounts OF the greed ana
rapacity of the United States and of her
desire to wipe the Latin nations off the
face OF the earth / was told by one
Of our leading consuls that many of the
Italian papers were subsidized by Spain at
that time. Every large city in Italy has
many daily papers which live from hand
to mouth. depending upon their subscribers
and their subsidies, as their advertising
amounts to little or nothing. Thus they
are for the most part anything but free
and independent, and in every great crisis
their utterances are paid for by the high
est bidder. The United States never paid
a penny to control the European press.
and at first, of course, Spain had things
all her own way. But one story Is good
only until another Is told, and after lit
tie the Italian people learned that there
were two sides to the first. that the United
States was not the vicious, pig-headed
iieve; that her ships of war were not old
tubs that would be sunk by the first fire
of the Spanish guns: that her soldiers were
not given to numbering helpless women
and children: and that her government did
not intend to make slaves Of all the Gu
bans and Porto Ricans. AS soon as the
logic of events made this clear, the wealth
vane of Italian public opinion changed
from north to south and once more blew
softly and balmily toward the United
States.
Leave Millions Behind.
There are. indeed, very substantial rea-
sons why the Italians should have a good
opinion of Yankees. The matter Of their
prosperity. even solvency, is very closely
concerned. Twenty-Five thousand Americans
visit Italy every year, l am told. and 1t
is estimated conservatively, that they
leave behind them between twenty-five
and thirty millions of dollars. To a ma

of the dire poverty of the past, a nation
