Junk of Panama Failure.

Something like 10000 tons of old
French junk from the Panama canal
is being shipped to New York for sale.
This junk includes old locomotives,
dump cars. tanks. barges, boilers. grid
ers. dredges, sheet iron. parts of old
machinery and other things for which
the French Canal company paid mil
lions of dollars and which it left to
ruin on the isthmus.
The scrap is being sent north IN
700 ton lots. and three years will be
required to ship it all. Each of the To-
comotives left by the French yields
between $500 and 5000 worth of cop
per alone. The commission will save
the old steel rails on the isthmus 10
be used as reinforcement in the con-
crete work and as telephone and tele-
graph poles.
Some of this old French junk has
been found in extraordinary places.
Dredges have been discovered almost
hurled completely in sand, hundreds
of feet away from any body OF water
and overgrown with dense tropical
vegetation. Apparently they have

"WHY Newspapers"

5. sesses So Many Elements of Pro-
ducing Profit-An Advertise

IL Is Read.
By GUY S. OSBORN.

Everybody takes a daily newspaper.
It is read by every member of the
family. The daily newspaper responds
to every daily want of the home-na-
tional, local, society and sporting
newsstand last, but not least, adver-
Using news.
The house for sale, the furniture
man, the coal man, grocery man, and
market man-in fact, every want OF
the home is fully supplied through
the columns of the daily newspaper.
It goes into the home with welcome
to the very people you want to reach
In the newspaper you can give
headline to attract attention to your
wares, thereby sitting out the people
interested in your merchandise and
tell them your story. Your adver-
tisement is on the same page and
right alongside the very news for
which the paper is bought. You do
not have to look for tit is never
lost. There is no other kind of ad-
vertising which possesses as many
elements of producing profit as the
1870
read by every member of the family.
With the daily newspaper you can
daily refresh the mind of the buying
public, for the daily newspaper ad is
always fresh. 1t never has a flavor OF
staleness. 1t enables you to keep your
name and wares daily before the buy
ing public, for the needs of today are

paper An advertisement is only good
when it is read-30 days or a thou
sand on the book shelf counts for
naught
The daily newspaper is not read as
an amusement sheet or to kill idle
time; its place in the family is of too
great Importance. It's news is so ar
ranged that it appeals to every mem
Der of the family-father, mother, sis
ter and brother. 1t has the steady
producing qualities. 1t gets closer
to the people than any other kind of
publicity. You buy your paper, and
every one else does, because you be-
lieve in its policies and therefor have
absolute confidence in it's advertising
columns. A circulation that shapes
the business of today and governs the
expenditure of the weekly income.
No home is worth cultivating
through your advertising that the
daily newspaper does not go into, I'M
less you are doing a strict mail order
business. You can't keep the newspa-
per ad out of the home if you try.
1t comes in with a welcome because it's
the women's shopping guide and the
mems barometer of business life. If
you have anything to say to the pub
lie, tell it to them through the col
umns of their daily newspaper. It is
bought for both news and advertising.

MARKS FOR LOAN SHARKS"
Display Persistence in Getting
Enmeshed in Tolls.

A most distressing feature of Wash
played by government clerks in Dor
rowing money and then getting them
selves thoroughly enmeshed in the
tolls of the ''loan sharks" Every
once in a while cases of this charac-
ter come to the front in the way of
embezzlement by some trusted clerk,
who hoped to recover himself and pay
up, or when the worm turns, and the
borrower has the loan shark yanked
before the courts. A pretty bad con
dition exists now in the bureau of
printing and engraving. About ten
employees Of the bureau who are re-
ceiving salaries of only $50. $50 and
$40 month, have been playing loan
shark" and loaned out their small
earnings almost at the rate of dollar
for dollar until some of them have
actually grown rich. Defalcation, or
technically embezzlement, by one of
the trusted employees of the bureau
brought his distressing condition be-
fore Director Joseph E. Ralph When
an investigation was commenced the
disclosure of the other 10 or II
sharks" in that department came out.
1t is reported that a negro dressing
room employee, who got a salary of
$40 a month, was lending money at
tremendous profit to plate printers
and others with salaries Of $40 or
more a day; also that one of the
women employees, whose wages were
$3.50 a day, had been loaning money
at 10 per cent a month interest. 1t
was shown that men and women who
were getting large salaries were deep
est in the tolls of the loan sharks"
It is stated that none of these loan
sharks" are to be discharged, but that
they are to be severely reprimanded.
To a man cup d tree" it would seem
as though they ought to be fired out
of government employ, and honest
men and women put in their places.
Director Ralph says that he thinks
they have been badly enough scared
to keep them honest for the rest of
their days in the department

THE AGE OF ADVERTISING
More Attention Now Being Paid to
That Department Than Ever
Before.

Writers of advertisements are CIV
ing more attention to the matter in
their productions. Newspaper read
ers are also doing more in the way
of giving attention to the advertise
ments than they did ten or fifteen
yeasr ago, and there are at least three
reasons for that. One is, that the
advertisements are better reading
than they formerly were. Another is
the ads are changed Oftener, while the
third and chief reason is, prices are
quoted more freely than in the past,
and there is no getting around the fact
that the housewife who lays any claim
to thriftiness is on the lookout for
bargains. The merchant who has his
ear to the ground is aware Of this and
words his messages accordingly.
When you read a merchants ad-
vertisement, you are reading what he
has to say to you about his wares. He
invites you to come and see what he
has for sale. He wants your trade
and takes the only way known to
him to reach you. The advertising
columns Of a newspaper SO far as
they represent, are representative of
the live business men of the town.
and you will find therein the names of
the merchants who want your trade.
Without exception they are the pro-
gressive men of the city; men who
keep their stocks up-to-date and are
not afraid to tell about their goods. .

BEST ARGUMENT is BEST AID
Copy That Appeals Only to the Eye Is
Pale and lmpotent, Declares
Newspaperdom.

In objecting very vigorously to the
statement that if an ad catches and
tickles the eye it is sure to be eff
fective, Newspaperdom takes a fall
out of a writer who has been unduly
playing up the Importance of visual
sensation" The advertising writer
who depends on that doesn't know his
business. In the opinion of Newspa-
perdom, argumentative advertising
that reaches a conclusion-that makes
a distinct mental sensation-is the ad-
vertising that will deliver the results.
It argues:
advertising that consists Of moth
ing more than ocular pleasantries is
pale and impotent. 1t IS like the china
platter without a sirloin steak upon
it. The picturesque didoes of pig
tailed Chinks may make a distinct
visual impression, but it is the broiled
meat with the red juice Oozing out of
It that tells me l am going to have
something that will nourish my body
1T must be remembered, too, that
there is an existing demand for nler-
chandise which influences readers Of
newspapers and magazines to search
for advertisements relating to that
which will meet their requirements.
The eye-catching device will help
woman locate an advertisement, but it
will not persuade her to spend SO.
The want of the article and the price
she must invest have combined to
stimulate her interest. and she will
read everything in q newspaper or
magazine touching the topic upper
most in her mind.
The best-selling talk will capture
her money, and the best selling talk
Will always be found in the best ad-
ferusement

ARE A NATION OF INVENTORS
That Is Proved by Records of United
States Patent Office In
Washington.

When an American wants something
not to be found on the earth or in the
waters under the earth he calmly gets
to work and makes it. That is what
has given this country the reputation
of being land of inventive geniuses.
The records of the United States pat
ent office shows that it received last
year 1928 applications for mechanical
patents, 1,155 for design patents and
nearly 1000 for registration Of trade
marks. More than half the applica-
tons for patents were granted-exact-
ly 35,807-while 1929 trade marks
registered. All of these were on be-
half of citizens of the United States.
From the date of the establishment
of our patent Office to the end of the
year 1870 there were granted to Amer
lean inventors 12O,573 patents, while
the total number granted in all other
countries in the world during that pc
Rod was 238,437. From 1871 to 1911
Americans received S09,561 patents,
while those of all other nations got
1864
The total number of patents issued
by the United States to this time is
990,154 This greatly exceeds the to-
tai of any other nation. Germany
ranks second in numbers with total
of 440,898 Great Britain is third with
425,374, and France fourth with 24S,-
106.
But with all their wonderful accom-
plishments it must be admitted that
the inventors of this country still have
something-or some things-to live
and work for. There remains unsatis-
fed long-felt want for number Of
things which should make their in
ventors rich, of which the following
are examples
A front door key that will score
bulls eye on the first trial-at any
time of night
An automobile that will not exceed
the speed limit when you're in hurry.
A home-run baseball bat.
A commuters monthly railroad tick
ct that always comes out even.
A collar button that will not roll
under the dressing case.
Now that we have mentioned these
few trifes by way of example, no
doubt we shall get them in short or

challenges the inventive genius Of the
American people.

THE HEART OF
ADVERTISING
BY GEORGE s. BANTA.

It is an error into which
many merchants have fallen to
think that TO advertise is mere
ly to subscribe for a certain
amount of space in the news
paper, or some other medium,
which costs them money. This
is not advertising; it is only
the evidence of advertising.
When your favorite Plymouth
Rock has placed an egg to her
credit she isn't slow in letting
you know of the fact, but the
noise she makes over the event
is no more the egg than the ad-
vertising space in the newspa-
per is the advertising it should
represent.
The heart of advertising con-
sists in good and important
news to the public. 1t is eff
fective insofar as the public
knows and recognizes that it
is genuine, truthful and timely.
The more we know about adj
vertising, the more sharply we
discriminate in its favor. Ad-
vertising men refuse to class as
advertising standing cards and
unchanged advertisements, So
called, in the newspapers.
This is not the fault Of the
newspapers, nor of advertising,
as such. What would you think
If it came to you day after
day, and week after week, with
just exactly the same stories
and news items? OF course, it
would be embarrassing and the
editor would not only have an
angry lot Of subscribers, but
every advertiser would be COM
ing in with a big complaint.
Yet many advertisers entirely
overlook the fact that people
take a newspaper for news. The
readers do not care where they
find that news, whether in the
news or the advertising col
umns, but wherever 1t is they
read it and act upon 1t. A real
live newspaper is the greatest
action-producing force in the
community.
The merchant who wants his
advertising to pay will not for
get to put into it a big, throb
bling heart. He will have some
thing new-he will have some
thing of especial interest at his
store. This will be the heart
of his advertising and he will
put it into the space he uses in
his home newspaper. Other
mediums, like calendars and
signs, will hold forth his name
to the public, but they cannot,
from their very nature, be en-
dowed with the real heart Of
advertising. The advertiser
must depend upon the newspa-
per to carry to the public the
news of his store and by intel
ligently using its columns he
can turn dull days into bright
and busy ones.

The Children's Room.

Every nursery should have furniture
Of the simplest design. so that it can
be washed daily. The lines should be
low and broad. so that the children
can Chamber into the chairs easily and
when they fall not have far to go.
A broad low window seat is a good
idea. for children who play too long
on the floor are apt to get cold. This
should be near windows that are pro-
tected with wooden bars, so there is
no possibility of falling out. 1t should
be less than a foot high and have
washable cushions.
Every nursery should have dresser
for the toys. The lower drawers of
such dresser could be used for the
nursery linen.
Though some mothers object to flow
erpots in the nursery. there is much to
be said in their favor. They make

to resist them. If they are used they
should be highly glazed. either in blue
