ADVERTISING TALKS.

An important point in adver-
tising, which cannot be too
strongly EMPHASIZED, is this:
TO BE EFFECTIVE the copy
must be written in a manner
that will appeal to the particu-

An English advertisement, for
instance, is not apt to favorabiy
impress an American audience,
and 1t has been proven that an
American advertisement docs

MAIL MAN LATE?
THERE'S A REASON
Under Orders From Washington,
Carriers Must Count ALI Mail and
Note Time Handling Requires.

Was your mail man late this morn
ing?
II he wasn't, he's an exceptionally
bright mail man, for 1t would have
required man with couple of heads
and two or three pairs of hands to
perform the work set before each OF
the carriers and clerks In the Detroit
postoffice, Monday morning.
II all grows out Of the action OF
congress in appointing special COM
mittee, headed by Justice Hughes, to
investigate the postoffice department
BY order OF the postmaster-general.
who Is acting presumably under in
structions Of the committee, all the
mail received in the Detroit postoffice
during the month of May must be
counted, each class by itself, and the
employees must also make a record Of
the time required In handling II.
| What this means 1t Is dificult for
anyone not familiar with the inner
workings OF the postoffice to compre-
hend. II means that every letter,
every little package, every newspaper
received for delivery In Detroit must
be counted and classified, and the en-
tire force has to take count OF the
number OF landings each piece re-
ceives before its final disposition.
This great task has been thrust
upon the employees Of the local post
office almost without warning. II was
only last Thursday that the notice
came from Washington, SO the Office
had practically no time to prepare for
this extra burden OF work. Every
carrier In Detroit was obliged to work
Sunday, getting his mail In readiness
to take out Monday morning, but even
at that most of them were late In
leaving their respective stations, with
the result that people all over the city
began calling up the postoffice to in
Quire why their mail was late. The
complaints became 90 numerous and
insistent that Postmaster Warren Is
sued statement, explaining the SIT
uation as given above and adding:
"It will be evident TO the public
that task so great as this, and en-
tending over a period az long an this.
must necessarily embarrass the en-
ployes and delay them, and the post
master asks the forbearance OF the
public until such time an the work n
completed"
II is expected that things viii be
running smoothly within q week or 90,
when the carriers get acoumtomed
to the new work. In the meantime,
the public is asked to be patient. II
Is not likely that any Of the present
deliveries In the downtown district
Will have to be dispensed with.

PASTORS APPEAL
BRINGS $4,000
Generous Response Results When
Rev. M. P. Fixes Asks Money
For Church House. n

That the Rev. Maurice Penfeld
Fixes, pastor Of the Woodward-ave
Baptist church, is not only able to
fill the pews In his church, every
Sunday, rain or shine, but can reach
the pockets Of his congregation as
well, was shown, Sunday, when he
made an appeal for an additional $685.
600 to be applied towards the fund
for q church house.
The congregation responded with
an even greater amount than was
asked for, the sum of $4,000 being
pledged. This makes 100000 re-
ceiyed in pledges and cash thus far,
$50, 900 having been contributed In
money and paid on the building and
lot some time ago. The lot alone
cost $26,250. Upwards OF $4,000
more Will be needed to complete the
building, nt M. Fikess sdoesn't.antici-
pate any tfifIlcplty In raising IT, n
Mr.. Fixes told The Times, Monday.
that he would not like to give out the
names Of any Of the contributors, but
said that one man gave $4,000, while
others contributed individually, $5,-
900, $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000. The
bulk of the $4,000, however, came
from the rank and file, persons of
moderate means, Mr.. Fixes proudly
announced.
The church house is to be In the
rear of the church, facing Winder-st.
1t Is to be three stories high, with a
frontage of 100 feet and depth Of ITO
feet. There will be a large gymna-
sium, library, auditorium and mum
ber Of class rooms for Bible teach
ing. Mr.. Fixes will also have his
business Offices In part Of the ground
floor. There is a hig demand for the
building In connection with the
church work, Mr.. Fixes said. The
building has been started, and will
be completed in the fall.
The building will be connected with
the church and its addition may per-
NIT an enlargement of the auditorium
Of the church. an Improvement now
very much desired, on account OF the
increase in the size Of the congrega-
ton. II has also been decided to
change the lighting system in the
auditorium. Fire exits are also to be
established.

dorado apartments, Nos. 80 and 80

He said that q commission, Of which
he was chairman, had been organixr

the condition OF dependent churches,
but that not much progress had been
made.
The Rev. Frederick T. Galpin. Of
the First Baptist church, q member
of the commission, said he had done
some personal work In connection
with the matter, and that he quit be-

to relish the interference and tho

against the work.
Notice Of motion was given, at the
