DIR. Page said that he had just
returned from an extensive trip
through the country and in vari-
Gus cities where he stopped he
naturally read the newspapers.
He had copies of several news
papers with him and pointed out
that in certain of them he had
seen advertisements that were
set in type EXACTLY LIKE
NEWS MATTER, without any
mark to distinguish them from
the regular news.
He said that SUCH ADVER-
Using WAS DECEPTIVE and
that it was usually employed by
advertisers who had no other
purpose than to deceive.
He also said another very true
thing-that A NEWSPAPER IS
NO BETTER THAN THE
WORST ADVERTISEMENT 1T

No matter how much good

a weakness there that must be

a trip through the Ad~irondacks and for
several days had been camping at
Long Lake, where the game protectors
found two deer in his possession and
fined him 500.
Mrs. Edward Tompklns. who lives
near the curve, said that when DR..
Rambaud's car passed her home 1t was
travelling at a high rate of speed. She
said that the car appeared to slow up
for the curve, but the pace was still
too fast, and as it rounded the curve
the steering gear broke.
The car whirled off the highway and

turns before it landed upside down in
a field twenty-five feet away. DR..
