alias Phelan, the pair OF fashionably-
dressed youths arrested on the charge
OF obtaining s25 from MISS Ruth Reed
by false pretenses. promising her 500
q week as a stage dancer. In q skit for
which they were rehearsing here,
were arraigned before Justice Gainey.
Friday.
Detectives Plies had done some in
vestigating of the young mems the
strical careers. They had told Miss
Reed and Miss Gauthier, their pupils,
that each would receive 800 a week /;
that their teachers always received
800 week at least or $500 a week
when they worked together.
Detective Plies says that he found
that the youths worked In six-naa
dancing act In local theater. and the
weekly pay roll for the six was $3.50.
Which caused MISS Reed and the de-
tective to doubt the sincerity Of the
young actors.

knew how much good this vigilance
committee has done for advertising
In Minneapolis" said Mr.. Martin. Fri
day morning. The committee Is sup
ported by contributions from MINES
apolis newspapers. merchants and ad-
vertising agencies, and We are all CO.
operating to purify advertising copy.
1.-The committee has q paid secre-
tary who investigates all cases OF
copy. IL one OF our mer-
chants, for instance. feels that a
competitor is making misstatements
In his advertisements which are hurt
ing business, he makes request to
the committee to have the advertise
ment investigated. Our secretary
then interviews the advertiser COM
planned against, and IL he finds that
the truth is not being told In the copy,
he uses all possible moral suasion,
and In case that fails the committee
prosecutes.
"The intense importance of truth to
ed" continued Mr.. Martin. "If the
merchants. publishers. and advertis-
ing men the world over do not make
every pOB8lDle euoTt W IhA5c tuc
standard Of advertising, the great
force Of this science will be. greatly
discounted. People must be taught
from experience that they can depend
upon the truth Of the advertisements
they read, and then we will hnd that
the results obtained from advertising
will be tremendously increased. Lo-
cal vigilance committees like ours In
Minneapolis, organized In Detroit and
our other cities, would do much to
bring about clean advertising"
Mr.. Martin says that one of the
leading conservative magazines of the
east short time ago asked its read
ers II they believed the advertise.
ments they read In the publication.
Eighty per cent OF those replying said
they did not believe what was con-
tanned In most of the advertisements,
which. according to Mr.. Martin, shows
that the advertising value of q large
percentage Of the circulation of all
publications has been in q large meas.
