THE demand OF aviation crowds

all doubt as TO this. There must nee
essarily be greater risks in aeroplan-
ing than In almost any other line OF
scientific endeavor because an acct
dent Of the most trivial character in
itself may mean a fatal fan for the
aviator. Consequently IL may be ex-
pected that in comparison with the

more numerous than were those

LABOR rs SATISFIED.

one thing that makes likely the pas
sage OF an employers liability law by
the next legislature is the fact that the
commission appointed by Governor Os-
born 10 investigate and report on the
subject has made a series of recon-
mendations that apparently meet with
the unqualified endorsement OF the rep
|sentatives Of organized labor, says the
Mining Journal Whereas there was,
during the last session Of the legisla-
'ture. much hostility on the part Of
organized labor TO the measures drawn
to introduce this principle, the report
of the commission. recently transmitted
to the governor is being freely COM
mended by the union men.
At Kalamazoo this week a committee
Of the State Federation Of Labor spe-
cially delegated to study and consider
this subject ratified the draft Of a bill
PREPARED by the commission. and HON.
er F. Waterman. the secretary OF the
Federation, declared the bill to be the
best in the United States, as regards to
protection for employees and the en-
ployer, and as liberal in its terms for
compensation as any law passed in this
country up TO the present time. The
members Of the committee were a unit
in approving the proposed measure.
The bill will also. no doubt, be ac-
ceptable to the employing interests.
These interests were well represented
on the commission that framed it,
One Of the three members was Hal
Smith, attorney for the Michigan
Manufacturers association. and anoth-
er was w. p. Belden. OF Ishpeming.
general counsel Of the Cleveland Cliffs
Iron company. only one Of the mem
bers Of the commission was a repre-
sentative of organized labor Thus If
the proposed bill is acceptable TO labor
IL is not because labor had the pow
er, through dominating the commits
sion, TO determine the form 1t should
take, but because the representatives
Of the employing interests desired 20 be
fair and also realized full well that It
would be futile to propose any bill that
organized labor would reject Thus 1t
is due to the eminent good sense and
sound judgment OF Messrs. Smith
and Belden that the outlook for the
compensatory legislation appears to be
SO promising.
The prospective law will be one Of
the excellent things for which the peo-
pie will remember Governor Osborn's
administration. In his message to the
Legislature a year ago he gave the sub
ject prominence and he let slip no
opportunity to build up sentiment for
a compensatory law Then he assured
the drafting OF an adequate and fair
bill, after a searching investigation of
the subject, by naming an unusually
strong and capable commission.

CatO'S
FOllOW-Up
System

If man lambasted you on the
eye and walked away and waited
week before he repeated the PERFORM
anCe, he wouldn't hurt you very
badly. Between attacks you would
have an opportunity to recover from
the effect of the first blow.
But if he smashed you and kept
hauling, each impact of his fist
would find you less able to stand the
hammering, and a haIf-dOZen jabs
would probably knock you down.
Now advertising is, after all, a
matter of hitting the eye of the pub
lie. IfyOu allow too great an inter-
val to elapse between insertions of
copy the effect of the first advertise
ment will have worn away by the
time you hit again. You may con-
tinue your scattered talks over a
stretch of years but you will not de-
rive the same benefit that would re-
suit from a greater concentration.
In other words, by appearing in print
every day you are able to get the
benefit of the impression created the
day before, and as each piece of copy
makes its appearance the result of
your publicity on the readers mind
is more prOnOunced--yOu mustn't
stop short of a knock down impress
sion.
Persistency is the fOundat ton of
advertising success. Regularity of
insertion is just as important as
clever phrasing. The man who hangs
on is the man who wins out. Cato
the Elder is an example to every
merchant who uses the newspapers
and should be an inspiration to every
stOrekeeper who does not. For twen-
ty years he arose daily in the Roman
senate and cried out for the destruc-
ton of Carthage. In the beginning
he found his COnferees very unres-
ponsive. But he kept on every day,
month after month and year after
year, sinking into the minds of all
the necessity of destroying Carthage
until he set all the senate thinking
upon the subject and i'm the end
Rome sent an army across the Medi-
terranean and ended the reign of
the HannibaIs and HamiIcars over
northern Africa. The persistent ut
terances of single man did it.
The history of every mercantile
success is parallel. The advertiser
VINO does not let day slip by with
out having his say is bound to be
heard and have his influence felt.
Every insertion of copy brings
stronger returns, because it has the
benefit of what has been said before
until the pubIic's attention is like
an eye that has been so repeatedIv
struck that the least touch of sug-
gestion will feel like blow.
