WRITING EFFECTIVE ADVER-
EASEMENTS.

The supposed difficulty in writing
skillful advertising, in the case of
some merchants, is bugbear in the
way of publicity work. 1t occasion
ally happens that merchants never
advertise because they feel that they
have too little time, or too little
brains, to write advertising that shall
have selling power.
Yet a well-written advertisement
is not a matter of smart sentences,
/ humorous conceits, or literary gifts.
1t is simply the art of talking direct
about your goods and their prices, as
merchant would talk to a man over
the counter. Any one who is able to
conduct store can do it.
The force of these statements was
finely illustrated in an actual expert
ence that came to the ears of the
writer short time ago. One of his
friends is a business man who had
had some success in advertising and
selling a proposition of his own in
vention. He had no special gifts or
tricks Of expression. Yet he succeed
ed in selling his goods.
Feeling perhaps that a trained
advertisement writer could do still
better, he sought out competent
and highly trained man in that line
in the nearest large city, talked over
| his proposition, and showed him files
of his previous publicity work. The
professional writer took the material
and put quite a lot of work into pro-
ducing form letter. 1t had all the
earmarks of professional ad-writing
work. 1t was smooth, personal, inti-
mate and clever.
The work was accepted and sent
out to the mailing list. The pro-
moter of the proposition liked the let
ter so much that he expected double
returns. But to his surprise the re-
turns we're only about third as large
as those he had previously secured
from his own simple off-hand tale
told in a conversational way, as he
would talk to the man across the
counter. The incident teaches it'
own lesson to all who are seekinl
publicity for their goods.

Child Saves Baby's Life.

While neighbors shut their eyes,
expecting to see three-year-old Doro-
thy Wooley of Eugene ground to
death beneath a Southern Pacific pas
senger train before her home, Gladys
Wooley, her seven-year-old sister,
sped $50 feet and, paying no heed to
the approaching train, lifted the lit
tie one from the track. The side OF
the locomotive struck her as she fled
from under it. Her dress was torn,
but she was uninjured.
Spectators do not understand how
the little figure which flew past them

Mother. why is it that when one

yet only the child moved.

credits Engineer Mason with throw
ing the emergency brakes and doing
all possible to stop his train.
Little Dorothy was crossing the
tracks with her red wagon when the
sound OF the whistle startled her. 1t

of the track, dazed. The red wagon
was splintered.

EARLY MARRIAGES.

Vincent Astor, who married Miss
Helen Huntington few days ago, is
but % years of age. His bride is
only 20. 1t is almost boy and girl
marriage. How it sounds like old
fashioned life, or chapter out of the
Waverly novels!
To people whose future is assured,
like the Astors, such union at this
early age involves no sacrifices and
no heroisms. To the ordinary fellow
and girl of % and 20, in city life at
least it means renting an apartment
on some questionable or even sordid
street Many former social comTade-
ships have to be given up. The
bridegroom may have to drop his
clubs, and the bride must be clean
ing house while her former associates
are playing bridge.
But the postponement of marriage
means that educated and cultivated
people have small families, thus fail
/ ing to contribute their share of we'll
bred sons and daughters. More than
that, the postponement develops a
lazy regard for luxury, tolerance of
easy vi es, and habits of extravagant
spending, particularly in the case Of
men.
1t is true that many young people
have crude tastes at % and 20. The
girl with the ready laugh and high
spirits fascinates many boys. Later
they learn that her vivacity was
largely assumed for purpose, and
that underneath the surface there
may lie sharp tongue.
But this is more than offset by the
fact that at the early age young peo-
pie have more generous and demo-
cratic ideals. They are apt to mate
upon the basis of natural affinity OF
tastes. Later they may become cold
er and more calculating and marry
for dollars. This is the cause of an
, infinite number of shipwrecks.
There is too little of the pioneer
spirit, too little willingness to take
chances, endure hardships, for the
sake of love and fine traits of char.
| acter Social economists seem tc
think that the postponement of mar.
riage is usually an evil.
