BAN ON BEULAH BINFoRD.

Those enterprising motion picture
promoters whose questionable enter
prise led them to secure Beulah Bin
ford, "the girl in the case" in con
nection with the Beattie wife murder
in Virginia, to pose for films, now
find that a determined opposition
has sprung up all over the country,
and it is probable that very few
cities will permit their production.
Already the authorities of many cities
have forbidden the pictures and more
are being heard from every day. This
course is commendable, but for years
the tendency has been upward on the
stage and in all public exhibitions.
The success of the man or woman
who has attained wide degree of
prominence, through some question
able performance, has not been so re-
munerative to the vaudeville manager
in late years and, with the advent of
the motion picture theater, and the
consequent censorship that followed,
much that has been Objectionable has
been eliminated. And the public has
approved of It. Therein is found the
greatest satisfaction and is evidence
that the tendency has been upward.
When the time comes that women of
the Beulah Binford type cannot com
mand handsome salaries posing for
the public gaze, a long stride forward
toward the elimination of crime viii
have been accomplished.

NEED OF ADVERTISING.

Attention Of Dallas merchants j
called to the series Of articles appear
ing in The Observer weekly on "Busi
ness Building" written by Dundal
Henderson, advertising manager Of
the G. e. Zimmerman Co., Chicago
Henderson is one Of the most expert
advertising men in the country anC
his articles contain much that is in
teresting and, if the advice he gives is
followed, merchants and dealers would
greatly profit thereby. The time has
long passed when advertising was
looked upon as a useless expenditure
of funds. The successful merchant is
the one that advertises. This is true
all over the country, and is true in
Dallas. In this age Of strenuous com
petition and hustling for business, the
live, up-to--the-minute hustler, is the
one that gathers the trade.
No greater mistake was ever made
than the argument advanced by some
~ have been in business here for so
long that everybody knows me, and
what l have to sell. (" Oftentimes
that argument can be turned to the
disadvantage of the person using it.
One is reminded of the course pur-
sued by live, American tradesman
when starting business in London.
In England the old firms, apparently,
depend upon their antiquity to secure
trade, and on nearly every store front
is some such legend as Established
1772," or "100 Years in Business, I"
ETC., but the American adopted diff
ferent methods. Undaunted by the
age claims of the older firms he took
the opposite course and, in his adver-
tising and signs, made his slogan this
significant statement: Established
Yesterday, No Stale and Shelf Worn
Goods to Sell You, but Latest Up-to-
Date Stock" The sons of their
fathers who had been doing business
upon policies adopted by their sires,
and their grandsires, were shocked at
this exposition of the total business
depravity of their rival, but, when
they saw the dollars that used to
come their way drifting into the store
Of their American competitor they
realized that modern business meth
ods make for success, even in staid
old London.
No man can build his best business
upon his pass popularity. Times are
constantly changing and new people
demand new methods. The modern
merchant must keep abreast Of the
times if he expects to command his
share Of the trade. He may be well
known in the community, but the new
conner who shows the people that he is
up-to-date and alive for business, is
the one who will soon outdistance his
older established competitor in the
race for success.
The soundness of this position has
been demonstrated so often that it has
become an established fact and is so
recognized by all modern business
men.

fafr authorities discovered that II to
exhibits were hauled In and out on
these roads II would destroy them.
because Of the narrow tires that pre-
vailed upon the wagons Of the truck
and express companies. The authori-
ties established q rule that no narrow
tire wagons could come on the
grounds. There was q great howl BY
the transportation companies, but the
fair authorities stood firm, and tho
teaming companies met the conditions
by substituting a wide for a narrow
tire upon the same wheel They sim
ply took OF say two and a half inch
tire and put on one three and a half
inches or four inches upon the same
wheel and the same felloe. This serv-
Cd the purpose.
About three years ago the city OF
Chicago passed an ordinance provid.
ing for wide tires upon vehicles using
the streets for traffic. A tremendous
howl was made BY all teaming inter
ests and they brought in tho wagon
makers to state that the changing OF
these wheels meant an expenditure Of
millions upon millions Of dollars, and
1t would take several years in order to
have the change made. Large manu-.
faoturen Of wagons said the wason
stock was gotten out for the narrow
tire wagons, and It would take a
least two years before any general
change could be made. At that time
the writer took hand In the campaign
with others, and published In the Chi.
caeo papers illustrations OF how thu
change could be made (see cut here
With. The city council stood arm.
the ordnance was passed and the
users OF narrow tires were arrested
and fined. la a very short time wide
ures began to appear upon the streeta.
and now the. use Is general and the
solution has been mainly a. indicated.
namely. substituting wide tires for
narrow ones upon the same wheels.
Any local blacksmith or wagon maker
oAn make the change indicated and
the expense ought 70 range between
$500 and $1,000 for q wagon. The Il.
iustration is 50 simple that anyone
can follow It.
The question 10, how shall this be
brought about? The writer would
susSest . state law licensing all the
vehicles, the same as the automobile
- now licensed. and let It apply upon
everything that goes upon the road,
