Outdoor Advertising Fails.
From i.eslie's Weekly.

Pointed and impressive Testimony as
to the small value of poster and other

methods of securing publicity. is fur
iisiled In the recent annual report of
the American Scenic and Historic Pres
efvation society. During the past year
This organization sent letters to four
teen OF the largest advertising con-
Germs in the United States. asking for a
statement AS to the amount spent by
each in outdoor advertising and the
estimate placed upon the value and eff
fcctiveness of such advertising. The
nswers received by these queries were
illuminative.
One rirn which ~appropriates from
$3.50. 900 to $500. 900 Il year for advertis-
ing purposes now devotes only 5 per
cent. Of it's appropriation to Outdoor
display. and expresses II doubt whether
evcn this amount is profitably ex-
pended. Another firm which has been
in the practice OF appropriating about
the same percentage for d ad-
vertising In a $500. 900 advertising bud-
get has been so disappointed In the
results that ii has given up the outdoor
method entirely.
Several companies which expend vast
sums each for advertising express the
belief that outdoor displays on rocks.

MIR. SwearinEen has lived in darkness
since his 18th year. when AN accident
while hunting destroyed his eyesight,
his vision of the needs of his great
army of young people has quite as
likely been improved instead of in

in the sos the founder of the first
school for h blind in this country, was
wont to say that blindness is an incon-,
venience, but not an affliction.' Some
times a human handicap is the spur
that makes a career. When 1 asked
Mr.. Swearingen if he felt his growth
had been because of his blindness, rath-
er than I'm spite of 1t. he was inclined
to believe his Inconvenience had been
a flip to his ambition. He has con-
quered SO far as to pass through the
prescribed course in the University of
South Carolina. leading his class, to
become a teacher In the state institu-
ton for the blind. and finally to be &C

his people. as the best equipped edu-

thereby removing them from the vari-
Gus government interests with which
they are now connected, is the object Of
the proposed formation Of department
Of public health
The public health service is the
largest agency Of the government maIl-
tanned in the interest of the health OF
the country. Originally IT was known
as the marine hospital service. its du-
ties being concerned entirely with ma
rfne hospitals.
By degrees, however, certain sani-
Uary duties were assigned to it. With
the yellow fever outbreaks there was
created national board of health
Friction between the board and the ma
rsue hospital service subsequently, de-
velOped, congress finally repeating the
act which created the board
The SpOoner bill, in 1909, for q de-
partment Of public health, led to the
adoption Of a compromise measure 7I.-
thOriZing an enlargement of the duties
OF the marine hospital service. In 1902
the name Of this government institution
was changed to the public health and
marine hospital service
Astiu further change in the name
was effected through the Mann bill
passed at the last session, establishing
the title of the department as the pub
lie health service
Notwithst landing the various changes
brought about, the claim is made by
those who favor the establishment of
department of public health that The
