The w.. +. 4 &. in III Luck.

While doing shifting at the Catoctin
ore mines Friday evening of last week,
the engine known as the M. V. broke a
spring and could not get away. Another
spring was secured and put in place by
midnight, and the engine brought to
Thurmont. While on it's way here how
ever, the spring just put in broke and
the engine was again unfit to use. An
other spring was secured, put in place
and the engine sent out Monday and
somewhere on the road the third spring
broke.
On Monday morning when night watch
man, Roger Weddle, went to clean the
fire on engine No. 2 he found the CRATE
in the frebox burned out and the CRATE,
and fire all fell to the ashpan below.
With two engines out of commission
the train service was very meagre for
several days and occasioned considerable
Inconvenience to those who have been
daily using the road.

 Once upon time there was a man who, having gambled in the Street, played the races, gone up in balloon, travelled to the Yukon, and done other adventurous things, decided that he would raise family.

 So he called on a friend who had one.
 "The latest idea, said the father proudly, lis to bring up your children on an equality. We conceal nothing from them, and give them the benefit of all the latest information. This is Bessie, my 14-yearold."

Philadelphia, March 14.-(Special.)-To 99 American business men in 100, proba- bly,, advertising has become one of the prime necessities of life. Not haphazard advertising of the old fashioned kind. which simply covered so much white paper with so much black ink and was valuable as giving concerns address if anyone was sufficiently interested in the concerns goods to look for it, but tho modern, twentieth century kind of ad- vertising which makes the use of display type an art and the wording of copy a science.
 American colleges have come to recog- nize that to meet the needs of American boys they must add to their purely aca- demic courses opportunities to learn merely practicaP' things. Banking, finance and bookkeeping have been intro- duced among the studies at Harvard and Yale; salesmanship is taught in many of the state universities; and at Swarth- more college, nearby Philadelphia there are now regular courses in advertising.
 Advertising in its development as a sci ence fits curiously into the academic cur rculum Good advertising, like good salesmanship. is to a large degree a mat ter of psychological understanding hu- man nature, of presenting your case in
 the way that will appeal most quickly and forcibly to the minds of people whom you wish to make customers The psy- chology of successful advertising Is much
 its most interesting and valuable phase.
 and is by no means the least interesting and valuable branch of the general study
 of psychology. Indeed the relation of the principles of psychology to successful advertising have been matter Of serious
 study by professors of psychology In
 prominent American universities, perhaps
 the most exhaustive study Of this sort
 and the most complete series Of experl-
 ments having been made by Dr. Walter
 Dill Scott, director of the psychological
 laboratory at Northwestern University. And in his book, "The Theory of Adver- tising," which is used at Swarthmore as textbook, Dr. Scott sets forth in enter taining but intensely practical form the results of a long series of investigations conducted primarily in the spirit of the scientific discoverer.
 Advertising Is subject of general inter- est too. It appeals not only to the man whose business depends upon 1t, but to the woman whose buying depends upon it, and the younger members of the family who get not little of their knowledge of the progress of the world from the cur rent advertising columns. pr. Scott Theory of Advertising" with all its practical usefulness to the business man and the student, Is not merely an instruc- | tive work. In many places it is vastly entertaining and even humorous, and the glimpses 1t gives of the science of psy- chology-one of the most interesting of all modern lines of study yet possibly the l least familiar one to the majority of readers-make 1t both entertaining and useful to the general consumer of litera- | ture. Each point Dr. Scott illustrates with what he considers good and bad ad- vertisements, explaining the merits or
 defects of each, and It Is curious to see

Helping Him Out.

From the Youths Companion.
 MT. Lord looked so grave one evening that his wife-a very young one-noticed 1t, and asked what was the matter
 q suppose business is troubling you," she surmised shrewdly. "If you've struck a snag. why don't you tell me, and per- haps I may be able to help you"
 After more affectionate adjuration Lord admitted that his payroll bothered him.
 "Ive made 1t up as far as the work men go,'' he said, but if I pay the stem ographer there won't be a penny left for Davis and me. Davis says he can't stand that; he must have some money this month."
 Lords wife was momentarily grave; then her face frightened.
 why don't you give the stenographer a months vacation?' she suggested, eag- erly "Then divide what there is with Davis. It seems to me- judicially, that would be fair all round"

tain 1t Is that the most successful Amer ican advertising experts work along the lines which Dr. ScottS book develops. And equally certain Is it that scientific adver- Using Is as important to the business men of the United States-who, it is estimated, are spending something like $500, ,00OOO0 year for printed salesmanship-as scien- tifc doctoring or scientific architecture. The economy that will be secured in pro- portionately greater results from such ap- plications of psychology to advertising as Dr. Scott makes may. it is safe to say be reckoned in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Anarchists of the Caucasus OIi-Fields. H. w. Nevinson, in Harpers Magazine

 It is not only the intending feud that divides Tartars and Armenians into hos tile armies which devastate the oil-fieldS from time to time, and are constantly pre- pairing each others destruction-with bat teries of quick-firing guns, as they boast Besides this central feud there are numer- ous fighting groups organized among the workmen and the unemployed AS rule they take some politicalstitle, such as 80 eal Democrats" or Anarchists Commun- ists" in the hope of securing popular ia yor and in some cases their origin may have been political and their aims may still be revolutionary. But their methods are so simple and so lucrative that per haps it would be mistake to contribute the zeal of all their members entirely to enthusiasm for social reform. The man ager of an oil-field receives a letter briefly addressing him as Parasite" It bears the stamp of a group, and 1t demands definite sum of money on pain of death. At an hour mentioned the agents of the group call, and the manager almost in- variably pays, entering the sum in his ledger under the head of office ex- penses." If he refuses to pay he is quite sure to be shot, stabbed or disembowelled within day or two. If he attempts to

minds of as many as possible of the peo. o. pie who might buy what he has to offer

It is often said that a salesman who has unusual success "hypnotises" his cus- toner's Hypnotism used to be regarded as some sort of mystic power one human being had over another, but nowadays it Is known to be nothing but matter of suggestion, the instinctive impulse of hu- manity being to act on any suggestion that is made strongly enough unless there is a stronger countersuggestion. While the advertiser loses whatever force his physical personality might lend he still may "hypnotise" his customer just as the salesman does, if he can make his sug- gestions strong enough So an advertise ment should suggest the purchase of goods so strongly that the reader will act upon it, and that may be done in various ways, Dr. Scott shows.
 The most positive suggestion is in the form of what is called the direct com mand," telling somebody to do something. Though few people would be willing to admit it, there are doubtless thousands who have used one brand of soap simply because they read, over and over again, the command to use 1t. On the other hand, a great many minds resent being told what to do unless the demand Is put with considerable diplomacy, and Dr. Scott discusses this phase of the matter in a way that will surprise many of his business readers.
 To go into every side of getting bus mess by the use of display type and il- lustrations as Dr. Scott does in his "The- ory of Advertising" to discuss how 1t has been proved beyond question that certain forms of letters are preferable to other forms, that certain kinds of pictures do more to drive customers away than to attract them. that certain sorts of copy are no better than q waste of money would be to give the course in advertis- ing at Swarthmore all over in print.
