SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

One of Americas greatest and most useful industries will be represented by us foremost "captains Of industry in the great convention of the Associated AdVerus1ng Clubs of America. to be held in Baltimore during the next six days. ~
 Few laymen realize the gigantic scope Of the publicity industry, although practically all, and especially the ladies, are aware of its immense practical value to the consumer of comm odities The old theory that ad- Veftrs1ng adds to the cost of goods has long since been exploded Nowadays II Is the merchant who advertises who gets the bulk Of the business and is therefore able to sell at a much small CT margin of profit. The same rule ap- piles in the field of general publicity, Tor 1t Is always the hnanufa cturer of advertised articles who is able to turn out his goods in such tremendous quantities, with consequent saving in pfoduct1on, as to be able to offer bet ter value than his non-advertising competitor. These facts are now gen eralIy understood by all intelligent people, and the outworn criticism of advertising as increasing cost to con sumner is now seldom uttered.
 Truth is now the slogan of the Associated Advertising Clubs of Am erica There was a time when the doctrine of caveat empto applied to the reader of advertisements, but that time is happily passing. Exact accuracy in description is now the policy of prac- tica1ly all big advertisers, and they have found that it pays. 'If you see it in an tad,' it's SOL will doubtless Advertising Clubs, as a result of its propaganda for the elimination of mis- leading and fraudulent advertising.
 It is in the United States and Canada, both of which countries are well represented in the Baltimore con- vention, that the art and science of publicity have reached their highest stage of excellence and effectiveness. Practically all of the 25,000 newspapers and periodicals published in the States and provinces depend largely for sup port on the advertising industry. Thus advertising is responsible for the ex- istence of the worlds greatest educa- tfonaI institution-the newspaper.
 Various estimates have been made of the amount annually expended for ad- vertising, but these are necessarily guesses. The printing and publishing industry, which is so largely dependent on advertising, ranks sixth in value of products for all the great industries of North America, and fifth in the aver age number of wage earners employed. In the value added to raw material by manIIfa acture the printing and publish ing industry ranks third.
 Advertising has its sins, well s it's prominent virtues. Vast sums have been wasted in ignorant and tnjudi- cious advertising, and by the publicity given to the schemes of swindIers mil lions have been taken from the popu- lar pocket. It is the mission of the Associated Advertising Clubs to pro- vide the remedy for both evils. And the remedy . is enlightenment, which means publicity, which means adver- Using.

The first of the Romanoffs to in troduce anything like modern culture and civilization into barbarian Rus sia was Peter l., surnamed the Great, who was born in Moscow 241 years ago todoy. Peter was a precocions child, and, although reared in an at mosphere of intrigue and effeminate luxury, grew up physical and men tai stalwart. In his youth he was educated by Lefort, a Swiss adven- turer, who impressed upon him the fact that Muscovy was tagging far behind the remainder of Europe in the cultivation of the arts and sci ences. The enthusiastic Peter, be- coming sole ruler at the age of A, determined to raise Russia out of bar barism- He visited the various coun- tries of Eudope. studying their fnsti- tutions and customs, and even work ed as a common mechanic to obtain a Knowledge of the arts he cought to in troduce among his people. One of his first acts was to order his subjects to cut off their boards, but this was only the beginning of his innovations. Dur ing his reign Of over forty years he organized a regular army trained in European tactics, a naval academy, libraries, art galleries and schools, be- sides adding six provinces to Russia s dominions and giving her an outlet up- on two seas. The Russia of today is a monument to this colossal man.

THE RIGHT TO RETRAoT

The Rooeeve1t-N -Newett case has been Of great interest to the newspaper world, from the fact that in the past many publishers have been subjected to injustice through the libel law. Of recent years, the privilege of free speech seems better established.
 The Roosevelt -Newett case differed from the ordinary libel case in this: Col Roosevelt cared nothing for money end of the game, his purpose being solely personal vindfcation. The ma jority of libel suits are money mak- ing schemes although commonly the plaintiff merely incurs lawyers fees for both parties
 A just libel law gives the publisher ample chance for retraction, on ac- count of the hurry under which news paper work is done. Searching inves- tigatfon is not always possible where the public necessarily demands the very latest information.
 The ordinary newspaper libel IS not a thing of cold blood and malice afore- thought Rather 1t is the slip of a hurried man, whose mind is too full Of detail to note that he has left a loose end. The law should give him the same privilege of making amends for honest error taat Col. Roosevelt : could well afford to give Editor New cit.
 It may be objected that newspapers will be reckless about making false statements, provided they can be re- lieved from the heavier penalties by confeesing their mistake. That is not at all the case, because it is a hunil'- ating thing for a, newspaper man to admit an error.
 The 5ne thing the editcr brides him self on is truth. It Is no slight thing for r.im 70 print prominently an ad- mission that even by accident he print ed an untruth He feels that 1t hurts him and hurts his paper. If 1t has the same prominence that was given the original publication, it usually vim dicates fully the victim of the publica- ton, and 1t fully pena1iZes the nbe1er.

THE OYSTERS AND THE TRUSTS

A way to 'tput one over'' on the trusts appears to be to encourage the use of oysters. It has just been an nounced by the chemistry bureau of the department of agriculture, that all American oyster beds are to be in vestigated, with a view to removing the prejudice against this article of food as subject to contamination.
 The oyster is 8 valuable item in these cost of living times. It should not be turned down by the squeamish housewife without just cause. Under modern methods of shipment it should be available in every town in the Uni ted States
 There are 6o,ooo people engaged in the oyster business. Only a small part of the available places for beds are used Cornering the product would be about like forming trust in the cab bage industry. Many of the oyster growers work farming half the year: Com binfng them to raise prices would be worse than Samson's job of trying the foxes tails together.
 The oyster was long regarded as the poor mans beefsteak Restaurants that would charge 50 cents for lamb, mutton, or beef, and 75c for sirloin, stew for 25c, though the juicy bi- valves must have felt lonesome in some of them. A well buttered oyster stew has a. saline tang as refreshing as a. Vvhiff of sea air. With no bones, sristle, or refuse fat, the consumer pays only for solid nutriment.
 pr. Carl Alsberg, successor. to Dr. Wiley says the consumer of oysters runs less chance of mourning disease than from raw milk or drinking wa ter, The proposed government 1nspec- ton should reduce the danger of in lection practically to nothing. So here's for oyster stew, when the next month with an R comes along. May the delicious bivalve not swim LOO solitary in his brimming bowl!

John Howard Payne, the homeless poet and actor who was all his life a wanderer on the face of the earth, and who is chiefly famous as the author of Home Sweet Home'' was born in New York 121 years ago today. At eighteen he became actor, and just g, century ago, in ISIS, went to Eng land, where he was billed at the Drury Lane Theatre in London as the Amer ican RosciI1s.'' It was in this year, when Payne was afflicted with home sickness for his native America, that he wrote Home, Sweet Home," and 1913 Is therefore the centenary of that most famous Of songs in praise of home.
