Since publication in yesterdays Times
of several catch phrases in connection
with the article about the Times 500 ad
vertisement contest number of those
interested have inquired whether the ad-
vertisement 20 be submitted must be, or
preferably should be, limited TO some
phrase of that character.
Ii cannot be stated too emphatically
that The Times puts no limitations Of
any description on the character OF kind
OF advertisements eligible I'm the contest.
Perhaps a catch phrase will win the 800;
perhaps II will be a page advertisement
conveying a comprehensive, cogent ar
Gument; perhaps II Will be something in
between. What II will be iS for the
judges TO determine. and they will award
the prize TO what. in their opinion. is the
most effective statement as 10 why
The Times Is washlngton's Best Adver-
Using Medium"
A few OF the letters that have come TO
the Advertising Manager Of The Times
IL the last day or two are answered be-
low:
No Circulation Imitation.
Advertising Manager. The Times, City.
Dear Sir: l am fixing up an ad for
your al writing contest and / would
like 10 get from you all information
possible about your bona fde circula-
tion, whether you resort TO any means
10 initiate the circulation figures by not
taking back copies which newsboys and
news stands fail 10 sell. This Is an i'm
portant point in the way l want TO
treat the subject.
Very truly, yours. BUSINESS.
Answer: The Times takes returns
from news dealers in a manner US
ual 10 all newspapers. Like other
papers, il does not accept returns
from newsboys. The circulation is
in no way inflated. BY The Times
system it is impossible for anyone
TO get the paper who does not pay
for it, The agents pay the office
cash each day for the papers they
buy-the news dealers pay them
weekly. This leaves no opening for
bad accounts and worthless sub
scriptions.

Ads as Reading Matter.

The Advertising Manager, The Washing
ton Times. city:
Sir: DO you accept advertisements
that appear 10 your readers as ordinary
reading matter? I have frequently come
across advertisements OF this sort in
other papers, but I do not recall read
ing one in The Times 1 would like 70
know whether advertisements Of this
SORT would be admitted 10 the COMPETE
ton Yours, very truly.
PRO BONO PUBLICO.
Answer: The Times does not ac-
cept pure reading matter adyertis-
ing at any price. II will publish ad-
vertising matter set in news type,
provided the article is followed by
the mark "adv.." or is cut off from
the regular news matter in a man
ner that Immediately shows it TO be
an advertisement. Advertisements
of this character cannot be barred
from the competition, but are not
desired.

dnece that the business men who have
advertised in The Times have found
that it paid? BUCK.
Answer: The best proof along
this line lies in the fact that the
advertising in The Times is stead
lily increasing. For the past three
months it has been the only local
newspaper to show any increase in
advertising over the preceding year.
Merchants are using it more be-
cause it brings results. Practically
every large advertiser is using
more space than he did a year ago.

had cleared away the Bachelors were
declared the ViCtOrs 10 to s.
The Benedicts were cIassed as Rem
nants,' and the bachelors called them
selves p MS" Brilliant plays were
conspicuous by their absence-but what
the game lacked in this respect was
made up for in the number of anus
ing misplays. OF which the Remnants"
were guilty.
Robey pitched for the eliglbles. and
his mixed delivery was a puzzle 70 tne
opposing team. except on several occa-
sions, when ne slowed down and per-
mitted the man at the bat TO strike the
ball, in order that the score would not
be too lopsided
Through the inability Of Lewis. third

the ball in his mitt, the bachelor boys
piled up five runs in the first inning.
The benedicts worked valiantly 10 catch
up, but the p. MS" forged ahead In

home circulation of newspapers. VIII
you please tell me what that means?
What kinds OF circulation are there?
II you have home circulation" how
does It compare with the home cir

A WOULD-BE COMPETITOR
Answer: Home circulation means
the number of papers that go into
the homes either by regular news
boy delivery or taken there by the
person who buys it on the street,
and takes il later into the home.
The home circulation of The Times
is much larger than that of any
