LET'S SAVE WHAT IS GOOD
IN FOOTBALL.

Go little slow in abolishing foot
ball!
A game that costs single life ought
10 be studied closely to see if it involves
a whit of avoidable danger Football
has undoubtedly cost not one but fifty
lives that might have bean saved. But
90 little slow, Just the same, in a
campaign to abolish rather than cure
the game.
Unless you have played football you
haven't the slightest conception that 1t
has real value-value in intoxicating fair
play, manliness, self control, and the
finest kind Of team work and self re-
lance. 1t is the one game in the eata-
logue that puts a premium on every
ounce of agility, muscular power, and
mental strength. To the man who plays
IL, football is chess. track athletics, and
a school in craftsmanship all rolled
together. You may not realize this.
But don't attempt to pass judgment on
the subject until you have made an
honest effort to find out about both
sides.
Now-can the game be cured? II it
cannot, then there is no alternative
save TO abolish it. The rules commit
tees must realize that.
Always there is old style football,
now somewhat developed as soccer
The colleges and high schools might we'll
substitute that game for our Ameri-
can rugby by simple fat. But rugby
as It exists has value Independent of
the old style game-the value of a
plan of campaign, of splendid oTganizs-
ton, Of the same farsight and imagi-
nation that makes great captains of
industry as well as OF war. Let's keep
that quality if we can. Here are some
suggestions to that end
Perhaps it VII work enough reform
simply to abolish mass plays.
Perhaps to forbid linesmen to carry
the ball
Perhaps to hurry up the referee so
that he will stop the piling up Of
players on the man with the ball.
Perhaps TO widen the space between
the men in the line.
Next month those who have most
voice in the destinies of the sport are

everything in their power to minimize
the likelihood of injury. They viii be

whole subject:

advertiser that old guard had no
purchasing power. Bond houses
might have found some business
among them, but not the manufac-
tWer Of the everyday commodities
that the young. aggressive genera
ton buys. Our first step in building
up the property was TO make a
newspaper without givinG thought
TO those old readers. We didn't
want them.
This average age of readers is
the true gauge in measuring the ad-
vertising value Of circulation, 1 am
certain. for it is the standard by
which we make magazines that peo-
pie want to read. For the past
dozen years have been making
magazines with that standard before
me. and it was also a pretty definite
standard before that time, though I
hadn't clearly grasped it as a work
ing principle.
Productive Age.
''The productive generation made
up Of people between twenty-five
and thirty-hve, is the keenest read
ing public. Our editorial stat. is or
sanized with this in view. 1t is made
up Of editors and writer's who are
Of the productive generation them
selves. and able to think with the
real reading public. Just low we

ingly, yet he VIII seldom interest the
productive generation. He doesn't
feel with them. The world has
moved ahead Of him a notch.
Advertisers fan into bad habits
in placing business because the
world moves ahead of them. The
other day an old friend Of mine in
New England, a manufacturer who
has been in Munsey's for years, told
me he intended 10 draw out and
spend that part of his appropriation
in a certain magazine which he
reads himself. His reason was that
this magazine is to publish. next
year, q series of articles which he.
personally wants to read and he
fancies that ever Jbody else will
want 10 read them. too. But If that
manufacturer is placing all his ad-
vertising IN that way, he is making
his business conform TO his per-
sonal tastes as he grows old OF
course, IL cannot expand under such
limitations He must keep in touch
with the productive generation
through periodicals that reach It.
Class Publicity.
"Other advertisers place publicity
along class lines, trying to reach
this sort Of people. and that. In the
meantime, We have here 2 certain
magazine almost neglected by ad-
vertisers. It goes to men who are
nearly all inside the productive age
limits, earn the best wages in the
country, get them every Saturday
night, and are proverblal for their
spending capacity and comfortable
living. No other periodical in the
world occupies its field, and vet ad-
vertIsing habit is such that this
magazine has a negligible .4dvertfs-
ing patronage. That is our Railroad
Mans Magazine
The true American public is best
measured by this standard of the
average age. II is an accurate test
for the publisher. the editor, the
advertiser, the business man. When
advertisers begin to apply it more
generally in choosing mediums, less
money viii be spent AS "A matter of
habit, and better returns viii come
back Tor each dollar of expenditure.
