ALDERMAN COLE
FILED PROTEST
Castlston avenue Extension
to Have Night Hearing.

Alderman Charles p. Cole, OF
Prince Bay, who represents the tnlru
and fifth wards of the borough OF
Richmond. at q meeting OF a. local
board of public improvement held AZ
st. George. Tuesday. filed a protest
against the new extension of Castle
tor avenue from Columbia street,
West New Brighton, to Jewett ave-
nue., Port Richmond.
This petition had been signed and
given o him at q public meeting
which was called by himself 1t was
estimated that the signers and
Others who might sign later II q lit
tie more time was given represented
altogether about $350,000 In tax
valuation of property out OF the
900 within the probable area
of assessment. This Is counting only
the new extension petitioned Tor
from Jewett avenue to Richmond
avenue.
Borough President Cromwell pre-
sided al this meeting of board
at which many protests were made
by the property owner along hat
route. After a long debate on the
petition it was suggested that q hear
ing on the matter be Held some even
ing. Alderman Cole and the other
members OF the board approved OF
the hearing and after a discussion It
was agreed the borough president
should call a meeting for Friday,
February II, at 5 o'clock so that all
who may be interested may be
heard. If the street is extended as
proposed it will be necessary to raze
q few dwellings in Port Richmond.
The improvement, whichSwas agl-
tated some years ago by the old
New Brighton Board of Trustees and
also since consolidation, would save
a detour for commercial vehicles
and bring Port Richmond into closer
communication with the business
centre OF West New Brighton r IS
the belief of those most interested
that the improvement will finally go
through.

A WISE POLICY.

Prof. Z. l.. Brewer comes in for
praise for his decided way in dealing
with disputed decisions in the baseball
game with st. Louis University last
Saturday. What many people ware try
ing to show is ground for seyering ath-
letic relations with st. Louis, Professor
Brewer calls a matter of no import
ance.
Too frequent kicking on decisions
gives G school bad name and when
there is no more involved than one ol
a series of baseball games it seems un,
wise ever to talk of breaking off ath
ietic relations. Professor Brewers pol
icy carried Out will save Missouri the
disgrace of being hard loser. Moth
ing in this article, however, is to be
construed As applying to the last
Thanksgiving game.

BALMER AND ADVERTISING.

Thomas Balmer, dean of American
advertising experts, struck the keynote
of commercial failure when he said
that acyertising depended on natural
laws and that a single insertion Of an
ad was no more effective than single
fash Of light. 1t is the repetition of
ideas in an ad by more than one pro-
cess that makes for effectiveness in ad-
vertising. ...
The reason most advertising is inef-
fectivc, especially in the country pa
pers, IS because of the inferior and
poorly arranged copy. The tendency
to place single word, such as "atten-
ton" or announcement" at the top of
an ad, and close by saying Come and
see MS" makes the ad unattractive and
and weak.
An ad should have direct and con-
else junction in the expression of a
single idea well. Instead of trying TO
advertise the whole store, experience
has taught the successful advertiser
that he must advertise judiciOusly in
the proper media by paying attention
to certain details.
In the final analysis, the secret of
success in advertising is common
sense. and common sense is rare.

Hobo Day.

Editor The Missourian: Hobo day
used 10 be good thing. 1t gave the
students an opportunity TO rid them
selves of energy and do enjoy day in
a nOyei way.
But OF late hobo day has been taken
too seriously. 1t has been made the day
for the eXerting of sOcialistic infiuenc-
es anil the original pleasure OF the day
has been rivalled in Importance by the
preaching of hobo doctrines. The last
hobo day saw several real hObos in the
parade and their idle example. being
initiated by the students. They were
the guests OF honor-honored because
of their worst characteristic.
As long as hobo day can be harm
less college anniversary, well and good
But when il comes to bringing va.
grants and iGlers to Columbia to take
part and make serious a purely ironi.
cal stunt day, the element of irony is
destroyed, and the day becomes one OF
positive harmfulness. In addition it is
unfair 20 the people of Columbia.
Z To pLrpetuate Hobo Day as a col
lege institution it should be made eX
clusively so and no sociological curiOs
tiles be pernitted-much less invited
to take part in it. b.

THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE

Solne persons read the Bible for its
religious teachings, others read it as
they world read a Dovel, and still
others study it as 4 literary work. AS
a study in English literature the King
James version will be the subject of
an address by DR.. f. A. Allen at the
University assembly tomorrow morn
ing.
The authorized version was trans
lated into English 800 years ago. This
week the work is being commemorated
in all parts of the world.
In English literature. there are none
who would not place the English Bible
among the best works. and perhaps
few who do not place it first. 1t has
been studied, solely for its literary
qualities, since the translation 300
years ago. III is uSeu dS d Hlouei III

An address by DR.. Allen, for years
head of the English department of the
University of Missouri, should attract

aelre. which should include every stu
dent in the University.
