THE COST OF ADVERTISING.

The unawake merchant often won
ders how some rival can afford to
spend so much money advertising"
He is sure that he could not-that it
would bankrupt him in short order to
"plunge" into publicity on the scale
that the other fellow does.
1.-THE other fellow" is not worrying
about the "cost'' of his advertising
for the simple reason that he doesn't
have to pay it. The competitor who
cannot "afford' to advertise really
In effect, pays the bills of the man
who can "afford" it.
He pays them in the loss of bus
mess caused by his failure to adver-
tise. The business he ought to have
his "share" of the trade in his line
goes, in large part, to the competi-
tor who seeks it, who can afford to
advertise for it. The profits on the
trade drawn away from the timid ad-
vertiser by the aggressive one pays
the latter's advertising bills and
leaves comfortable surplus.
This is a fact which progressive
merchants are proving all the time
so it ought to have some personal
significance to the overcautious bus

AUSTRALIA ARMY AND NAVY.

The visit of the American fleet to
the chief ports of Australia has serv-
ed to furnish the final impetus needed
to determine the people of that coun-
try to arm and equip military and
naval establishments of their own,
says The Evening Post.
The visit was hardly needed, al
though the display of that magnifi-
cent array Of fighting ships undoubt-
eddy stimulated the Australians in
their determination to be represented
by an armed force of their own in
dependent of the fleets and armies of
the British Empire.
The military spirit has always been
strong in Australia. Citizens of that
country volunteered in thousands
during the English war with the
Beers. The rise of Japan has been
construed In Australia as a serious
menace, and while at present Great
Britain and eapan are bound together
by an ironclad alliance, the Aus
trahans profess to be anxious lest
their interests be allowed to suffer by
the mother country's anxiety to keep
her ally. II
Aside from militia organizations
none of the COLONIES of Great Britain
has equipped an army and none abs
thought of establishing navy. In
deed, the policy of the colonies dur
ing recent years has been a selfish
one. They haze refused to contrib
ute to the expense of the English
navy, yet have insisted that that navy
patrol the waters contiguous to all
she colonies and protect the colonies
m all disputes.
There is, however, now to be an
Australian navy. The money to build

NOVEL DEVICE FOR HOTELS.

Guests at the Hotel Astor, New
York, when they see a small electric
bulb near the telephone in their
rooms light up know that there is
a letter for them in their mail box
in the office. In each mail box
there is copper flap that is pushed
back when a letter is put in the
pigeonhole, and the flap completes
the circuit that lights the small cleo
trio lamp in the guests room. The
device is the invention of Fred A.
Muschenheim, brother of the pro-
prietor of the hotel. .

the battleships has been voted by
the Parliament of the Commonwealth.
The ships are to- be differed entirely
by Australians. Doubtless the En-
gilsh Governor General, representing
the Crown, is to exercise a nominal
control over the feet, but Australia
is to all purposes Independent and it
will be surprising if the present move
ment does not eliminate within an
other generation in a peaceful disso-
luton of the slender ties that still
bind the two countries.
The most interesting feature of the
Australian program, however, relates
to the army. For the first time since
the days of Feudaism an English
speaking country during a period Of
peace proposes to resort to form Of
military CONSUMPTION. This has been
urged, indeed, in Great Britain by
army men for years, but no poEti-
cal party has ever been bold enough
to try to force citizens to serve as
soldiers, as is done on the continent
of Europe The United States forced
enlistments during the Civil War, but
corscription has never been seriously
considered III this country in times
of peace, and the mere suggestion of
conscription would certainly be very
unpopular in this country.
Australia, however, starts boldly
upon the project. A bill has been in
troduced in the Parliament providing
for a form of consumption and has
been advanced SO far by such decis-
i've majorities as to indicate that its
eventual adoption is certain.
The Australian plan is different in
many ways from the system in vogue
in Germany, France, Russia, Italy
and Japan. In those countries If a
man tries to evade military service
he commits a crime. The punishment
for ATTEMPTED evasion of the con-
scription law is always penal SER
vitude usually for long periods. In
Australia the penalty is simply to be
Acknowledgement which carries with
it, of course, a prohibition against
the holding of any civil Office inside
the Commonwealth. Doubtless there
will be more young men In the Com
monwealth willing to face this pen
atty than to brave the law In Europe,
but. nevertheless the penalty will not
be construed as a light one.
The proposed law makes every
male inhabitant of the Commonwealth
liable for military service between the
ages of twelve and twenty-six years.
From twelve to eighteen all boys are
to be enrolled as cadets, military
training is to be compulsory In the
schools and after fourteen each boy
must spend four days in a military
camp of instruction each year. From
eighteen to twenty one each youth
is to be enrolled as a member of
military company, must regularly at
tend drills and serve in a military
camp for at least eighteen days each
year. Between twenty-one and TWEEN
ty-six years each male is liable to
call for military duty and must serve
at least seven days a year in a mil
itary camp.
These regulations, while nothing
like as tarduous as the rules enforced
in Europe, will, nevertheless, prove
very irksome as time passes by. The
Australian experiment will be watch
ed with interest in other counties,
and it is question if the Australian
pride will prove sufficient to c;I1y
it on. ea-r
