KEOKUK ADVERTISED
IN MAGAZINE STORY
Author Speaks About First Nights
and Has Picture to Illus
trate keokuk Audience.

There is no difference between Are
night audiences in Keokuk and New
York, N. Y, says Burns Mantle in
an article on first nighters in Nun
sey's magazine. Get that about Keo-
kuk though, did you? No state Is
necessary to de.ignate the famous
little dam city. 1t is we'll enough
advertised so that 1t is unnecessary
to attach the Ia, to 1t. New York,
on the other hand might be in China,
thinks Mr.. Mantle If he don't attach
the trade mark N. Y.
The author Is not content to use
the name of Keokuk in his story, he
. has had the obliging artist who help
ed him put the story across the Mum
sey editors desk, draw picture OF
first night audience In Keokuk.
,, But all the time. he Is talking about
Ksokuk, Mr., Mantle does not even
drop a hint of what state it is In. He
doesn't need to. The town Is we'll
enough advertised. His illusions to

| the designating mark N. Y.
To quote directly from Mr. Nantes

The possibility that red and green
color-blindness will increase rather
than diminish in the future only
serves to emphasize the unfitness OF
these colors as signs of danger and
caution. Experiments with the spec

ferent distances, leads Patterson to
the conclusion that yellow and blue
are the best colors for danger sig
nails, as he says that they are the
only colors which give rise to a nor

become visible, are the most lumin-

permanent and fast, while color-blind

Medical Association, that 1t is easier

to change their customs The fact
many persons are unable to distin-
guish red from other colors should
alone be sufficient to cause 1t to be
discarded as danger signal What

The Springfield Republican recalls

The Springfield Republican recalls
that the three great branches of rail-
road employees have now had wages
increased within about year and a
half, as the result OF arbitration. For
this method 1t can at least be said
that the railroads would have suffer
ed much heavier losses through wide
spread strikes, which the employees
were in position to inflict upon
them and upon the public. II these
increases OF wages should, in justice
be counterbalanced somewhat by in
creases In railroad rates, the inter
state comm cree commission should
not hesitate to authorize them.
