Tales Worth Telling :
THE VILLAGE AIRSMITH.

THE VILLAGE AIRSMITH.
over the spreading chestnut tree
The village airsmith floats
He patches, for princely fee,
Disabled aero-boats.
Long years ago his granded nailed
The shoes on horses feet;
But, when the equine foot game failed
The son fixed autos fleet.
And when the autocraze gave way,
And airships ruled the roost,
The grandson, foxy in his day,
Just gave his shop a Doost.
He foated it far DER the town
Where granddad went to church,
And now the income he drags down
Leaves granddad's in the lurch.
So, high above the chestnut tree,
The busy forge now flares;
The smith-ah, who so gay as he,
Or who with fewer cares?
These airship cogs and shafts and such
Cost mucllle muclde gold,
For each fad finds the fiXer's touch
More shameless than of old.

(Communicated.)

According to a recent ruling by high
military authority, says the San Fran
cisco Call, a jag" acquired in Guam
should not entail the punitive conse-
quences that usually follow else
where.
In support of this remarkable pro-
nunciamento, it is alleged that the
quality of the isolation peculiar TO
Guam is so markedly depressing, that
jag is the only recourse left for the
individual thus environed.
Guam is a rather lonesome spot. 1t
looms up on the limitless Pacific like
the segment of an oyster in bowl or
restaurant soup. South of the island
stretches a vast eXpanse of water
which is practically unsailed by the
ships of any nation. However, the ca
BILE station is there, and a detachment
of marines manage to survive. There
are a few American civilians, more
Japs and still more natives. In point
of beauty and even climate, Guam need
not fear comparison with other and
more advertised islands of the South
Seas, the Hawaiian group excepted.
But, if Guam be a lonesome spot what
shall we term Midway?
This speck on the waters of the Pa
cific, over thousand miles. from Ho-
nolulu, must be relegated to a class
apart in this respect. 1t is a little
waste of sand so diminutive that a
resident standing in the center can
throw stone into the ocean from any
direction,

ployes in the Pacific are English, live
there and defy the jag.
Mr.. Cox of Honolulu, who has re-
sided in Midway for over year at
a time, and who lately returned, as
sured the writer before his departure
that existence there was by no means
uncomfortable with companionable as
sociates, and also denied that jag
was a necessary accompaniment of the
daily round of Midway life.
Isolation and loneliness are found
oftener in the midst of dense popula-
tons than in detached places where
everyone knows everyone else. Many
a poor devil in New York or San Fran
cisco is more lonely at this moment
than the American resident of either
Guam or Midway.
But our philosophizing has carried
us far afield. To return to the original
subject of this discourse, We are OF
the opinion that he who acquires a
jag" in Guam or Midway, will dupli-
cate his acquisition anywhere in this
wide world, the fates being accom-
modating. The jag" understood as
an outward manifestation of an i'm
pulse inherent in mankind to seek ar
tificial stimulation, is not dependent
on condition of isolation, but is rath-
err TO be found in all its bewildering
variety where human associations are
most complex, and the struggle for ex-
istence fiercest.

CatO's FOllOW-Up
System
By Herbert Kaufman.

If man lambasted you on the eye and }
walked away and waited week before he re-
peated the performance he wouldn't hurt you
very badly Between attacks you would have
an opportunity to recover from the effect OF
the first blow.
But if he smashed you and kept hauling
each impact of his fist would find you less
able to stand the hammering and half-dozenp
abs would probably knock you down.
Now advertising is, after all, matter of
hitting the eye of the public. If you allow too
great an interval to elapse between insertions :
of copy the effect of the first advertisement will
have worn away by the time you hit again.
You may continue your scattered talks over
stretch of years, but you will not derive the
same benefit that would result from greater
concentration In other words, by appearing
in print every day you are able to get the
benefit of the impression created the day be-
fore, and as each piece of copy makes its APP
pearance the result of your publicity on the
readers mind is more pronounced-you
mustn't stop short of knock.down impression.
Persistency is the foundation of advertis-
ing success. Regularity of insertion is just as
important as clever phrasing. The man who
hangs on is the man who wins out. Cato the
Elder is an example to every merchant who
uses the newspapers and should be an inspira-
ton to every storekeeper who does not. For
twenty years he arose daily in the Roman
senate and cried out for the destruction of
Carthage. In the beginning he found his
conferees very unresponsive. But he kept on
every day, month after month and year after
year, sinking into the minds of all the neces-
sity of destroying Carthage, until he set all
the senate thinking upon the subject, and in
the end Rome sent an army across the Medl-
terranean and ended the reign of the Hanni-s
balls and Hamilcars over northern Africa.
The persistent utterances of single man did it.
The history of every mercantile success is
parallel The advertiser who does not let 3
day slip by without having his say is bound to
be heard and have his influence felt. Every
insertion of copy brings stronger returns, be.
cause it has the benefit of what has been said
before, until the public's attention is like an
eye that has been so repeatedly struck that the
least touch of suggestion will feel like blow.
