An important point in ad-
vertising, which cannot be too
strongly EMPHASIZED, is
this:
TO BE EFFECTIVE the

ner that will appeal to the par
ticular community in which
the advertising is done.
An English advertisement,
for instance, is not apt to fav-
orably impress an American
audience, and il has been
proven that an American ad-

much impression upon an
English audience.
Everybody in the advertis-

unique advertising adopted by
Selfridge & Co. in London.
The average American firm
has a hard time of it making
an impression on the British
public by applying American

hard a time as anybody, but

been more to the liking of the

The new testing machine of the Bu-

how much stress a material can en-
dure, will soon be in place in the Pierce
Mill road plant. One of it's parts-a
twenty-two-ton piece, was hauled pic
turesquely through the streets by a
thlrty-horse team-was stalled in the
mud on the road to the bureaus plant
but Is now on the ground. The founda-
tions for IL are nearly completed, and 1t
can be placed within a short time.
The apparatus will be the finest of its
kind. 1t will be able to exert a COM
preston force of 2,300, 600 pounds and a
tension force of 1,150,000 pounds and to
measure accurately the forces exerted.
Other machines have larger capacities,
but none of them will measure so ac-
curately as this apparatus.
Its utility will he in testing the
strength of materials, especially Of col
umns, under stress.
The machinery will occupy a long
room in the mechanical laboratory. The
cranes for handling the material are
nearly ready.
The electrical experts at the bureau
are making interesting experiments in
concrete. That popularity supposed ever
lasting material shows a marked effect
of electrolysis. The experiments were
made principally to determine the effect
Of currents escaping from underground
wires and from railway tracks on con-
crete work through which they passed
The results tend to prove that cur
tracks or from wires in underground
conduits might disastrously weaken
bridges and other structures of con-

TAhNANY STIGMA
MAY DEFEAT RYAN
FOR BIG HOUSE JOB
Democrats Lining Up With
Jackson for Sergeant
Alarms.

The cry against Tammany domina-
tion of the new House of Representa-
tives is being raised by newly elected
members who are coming to Wash
ington in large numbers, and today It
is declared that U. 8. Jackson, Of In
diana, IS altogether likely to be elected
sergeant-at-aTms as against former
Representative Ryan, the Tammany
candidate.
Until few, days ago Ryan was sup
POSED to have a strong lead, and to be
the likely winner. But the new men,
bers have been taking firm ground
against any organization which will
justify the charge of undue Tammany
influence, and Jackson has gained
strength fast since they busted them
selves in the fight.
The name of Representative D. H.
Mays of Florida was printed, by error,
in list of the twenty-three Cannon
Democrats in The Times a few days
ago Mr.. Mays was presented as one
of the Democrats who voted for the
Fitzgerald amendment to the rules at
the opening of the tariff session in 1909.
At his request the explanation is made
that he was not one of the twenty
three" and his name should not have
been included.
A--strong effort is making in behalf
Of the Rev. Henry n. Couden, the blind
retention in the new Congress. DR..
Couden's friends have secured strong
showing of support for him among the
leaders Of the G. A. r. U. c. ",
and other organizations of patriotic
character.
