W. G. BOWdoin)

In the old days everybody went to church It was the logical thing to do. Step by step however church attendance became less regular and the church often had but handful persons in it's congregation The times advanced, but the churches stood still The reading of magazines and Sunday newspapers began crowd out church attendance and the automobile added it's lure to the other discouragers church attendance The big change in the attitude of many people existence.

He became convinced that an application the advertising principle might easily be made to the church and what everybody knew good for business it likewise be good for religious bodies Why it that the church should not advertise? Was it unethical? Was wicked? Was it wrong in any way? Assuredy not Mr Turner work to apply advertising churches in a large way and to attach the psychology of it to the uplifting of humanity through the agency of churches. He prepared haf-page display ads and printed them in the advertising columns of the Baltimore News.

 Many a spitefu individual would use the power conferred upon every private and irresponsible citizen to annoy and harrass neghbor against whom he had a grudge he would report hidden property which, on nvesti- gation, would be found be without existence

The Social Unrest
(Kansas City Starr

tKansas City Starr
 What this great problem is that and sincere people of this time trying solve is indicated in the report the Illinois legislature that fifty thousand girls and women of Chicago working smaller than will afford them decent living
 Or rather the problem is indicated in the statement of many employers epitomized in the report. They maintain that under the present system would be impossible for them pay competitors in business were compelled to pay equally high wages
 The unreguated competitive system, applied to wages, means simply that the employer whose necessities compel him. whose greed mpels him, pay a cruelty insufficient sets the pace for the other employers in the same industry.
 There is the further fact that many women and girls in industrial employment who incompetent; who cannot fair who. when cheap labor is forbidden, will find in dustral employment alias, of they should have to find it. So 1t is very great problem, going much deeper than any individual liability; and the people have determined that they going to ignore it longer.

A long, straight border along the sunny boundary broken perhaps by seat, some feature of interest in itself is always in good taste, always insures the widest effect for every flower that blooms in it.
 The typical suburban place indeed offers very little opportunity placing flowers other way-but however restricted space be, and even where there is sunny boundary, there are sure to be walks which may be "bordered.' Keep away from the house, however, with every thing except vines, and then a shrub shrubbery group; many flowers suitable for position immediately against foundations where caves either drip keep rain away entirely.
