SEE BEAUTY AS THEIR IDEAL
American Cities VIII Yet Be the Finest
In tho World When Architects
Have Finished.

That American cities are ugly, l
willingly admit, writes Guglielmo Fer
rero, in the Atlantic. 1t would need
much courage, no doubt, to brand this
affirmation as false, but It would also
be unjust to deny that America Is ma
king mighty efforts to beautify them
All the schools of architecture in Eu-
rope, especially that In Paris. are full
of Americans hard at work. The sums
which cities, states, banks, insurance
companies, universities, railroads,
have spent to beautify their magni1-
cent edifices is fabulous. All these
buildings are not masterpieces by q
wide margin, but there are many which
are very beautiful. America has archt-
tects Of indisputable worth. In Europe.
men like to repeat that Americans
buy at extravagant prices objects OF
ancient art, or things that pass for
such, without distinguishing those
which are beautiful and ancient from
those which are inferior and counter
felt. But those who have seen some
thing Of the houseo OF rich Americans
know that, although there are snobs
and dupes in America, as everywhere
else, there are also people who know
the meaning of art. who know how to
buy beautiful things and who search
the world over for them. You will find
In the streets Of New York every va
riety of architecture, just as you find
in It's Libraries all the literatures of
the world and in its theaters all the
music, and In its houses all the deco
rattve arts.

Observing the action, an elderly

Efforts to Abate NoIse,

Indianapolis Is one OF the cities
which, along with Chicago, have start
ed a campaign for the abatement Of
needless noises. The point insisted
upon there-as 1t has also been tn
New York-is the bad effect Of noise
upon the schools. The report OF q
wide investigation just concluded says
that good work under present condf
.tions Is possible only II the windows
are closed-that Is, at the price OF
health. The committee further de-
clares that S5 per cent, Of the noises
In the neighborhood Of school build
lngs are capable of being abated. 1t
suggests the creation Of zones OF
quiet" the repaving of certain streets
with noise absorbing material, the 10
cation Of school buildings with refer
ence to immunity from disturbance.
Because of such campaigns as this
the New York Evening Post Is led to
remark that "as soon as we care an
much about doing away with unneces'
sary noise as we care about the things
for the sake of having which we en-
dure the noise, our cities will be rev
olutionized."

TO SEEK RECRUITS BY ADS
Novel Method Of Obtaining Soldiers

Heads of Great Britain.

A newspaper advertising campaign
for recruits to the British army Is to
be undertaken in all parts Of Great
Britain.
The war Office has become con-
vinced of the value Of the newspapers
as G medium, and has placed con-
tract with the head of a regular adver-
tising agency to conduct the campaign
during the next year on large
scale
Not less than 10000 men are need
ed to fill vacancies in British regi-

out that the young men who enlist will

IMPOSSIBLE TO PASS THAT
Customs Inspectors on the Borders of
FairyIand Had to Draw the
Line Somewhere.

There was once man who went %
times to the performance OF Peter Pan,
and was inspired thereby with a belief
| in fairies. He confessed his belief
openly and vowed to devote his life TO
proving its truth. He himself would
| find a fairy.
And to this end he cut himself off
from the world, and dwelt In woodland
ways still untouched by hoardings
blatant with the praise of petrol. I'm
til at last, by great good hap, he found
the frontier of Fairyland, and was
| called upon to display his luggage for
inspection,
Nothing to declare" he announced
boldly; but his word was not deemed
sufficient, and he had to submit to a
search Not that this troubled him,
for his conscience was clear In fact,
as his spiritual equipment was un-
packed he was very proud Of It.
What is this?" demanded the Gus
toms officer suddenly, and the man
had to confess that he did not know.
! He was dimly conscious of possessing
the thing, but that was all and So II
had to be examined. And To- 1t proved
to be little thought, the thought that
! his ability to believe in fairies raised
| him above his fellows A little thought,
hidden away right at the back of his
mind, but 1t was enough, The fairy re-
garded 1t sadly and shook his head.
THAT sort Of pride" he said, has
ever been contraband in our country.
You must leave it outside
But the man demurred, Offering to
pay the heaviest duty upon 1t; for he
realized that the thought had become
a living part Of himself, even as his
fingers and toes. He had been but
vaguely aware of it, but now he felt
that life without 1t would be ID joyless

What" he asked plaintively, "is the
good of believing In fairies, II 1t does
not make one a superior person?"

HOW ADVERTISING
LOWERS PRICES
Consumer Does Not Pay Bill Be-
cause Volume of Business
Is Increased.

Does the consumer pay the advertis-
ing bills? Many economists have main
tanned that he does, and that in the
large sums which manufacturers,
wholesale houses and retail dealers
are spending for advertising lies one
OF the chief reasons for the present
high cost Of living. There is, how
ever, much convincing evidence to
show that the right kind of advertis-
Ing produces exactly the opposite ef-
feet and that, instead of raising prices,
1t lowers them and improves the quail
ity of the goods into the bargain. In
other words, you get better article
at a lower price when 1t Is intelligent
ly advertised than when It is not,
To understand why this Is so, con-
slider the two functions Of all advertis-
ng--first, to individualize the prod.
uct; and second to increase the de
mand for it. The Importance Of the
first function Is apparent to all who
have even a superficial knowledge Of
modern trade conditions. A national
trademark is an asset that market
fluctuations cannot dissipate. 1t has
at all times fixed, marketable value.
Whether advertising raises the sell.
Ing price or cheapens the quality Is a
matter concerned entirely with the
second function. Can the demand be
increased without the consumer hav-
Ing to foot the bills7 That is the
question.
1t has been proved again and again
that the saving in manufacturing costs
per unit between a maximum sale per
thousand on an unadyertised brand
and a like sale on an advertised brand
is far greater than the cost OF adver-
tising. Those who do not advertise
do not get either the reduced cost Of
manufacture that comes from large
volume Of sales or the decreased sell
ing costs which come with trademark
Ing and advertising Advertising,
then, by reducing the cost Of produc-
ton, and also the cost Of selling makes
1t possible to give the consumer eth
er lower price or better product
or both without lessening the manu-
facturers' profit
Certain silk manufacturers inauG-
urated some time ago an advertising
campaign IN the interest OF trade
marked line of silks Within a fixed
period 100000 was spent In this cam
paign II, sales made in this period
amounted to s&,000.o00; or $50 IN sales
for every dollar in advertising Be
cause Of The volume OF business the
manufacturers were able to produce
their goods at the lowest possible ra-
ito of cost, and to sell on the same
basis. The consumers. therefore,
were direct beneficiary.
Another manufacturer was selling
his line through statesmen on a 10 per
cent commission basis. He began a
countrywide advertising campaign,
and soon after found that the demand
for the lin. was 80 great that h. was
able to cut his salesmen's commission
to . per cent Today the statesmen
are making more money at per cent.
than they formerly made at 70 per
cent Not only that, but the manufac-
turer has sliced per cent, from sell
ing costs, as the advertising averages
only per cent Of the sales.

Naed Of Small Parks.

The city of London has about 600
parks and open spaces, or an acre to
752 people within the city, not count
ing parks such as Griffith park, Los
Angeles, which, while now within the
municipal boundaries, is yet distinctly
an outside park. We have dire need
of more inside parks of small area
where those In the immediate neigh
borhood may find rest and recreation
among their neighbors, parks not over
run with strangers, as Is Central
square. These neighborhood parks
should be sufficiently numerous that
any resident of the city could reach
one by q. brisk walk of five to ten
minutes. We need breathing spots.
and need them very much.--Los An

OWE MUCH TO WOMEN'S CLUB
Organizations Have Been the Leading
Factor in the Betterment Of Amor
lean Towns and Cities.

1t Is to the women's clubs very large
ly that the movement for the city beau.
tiful owes its vitality. In the interest
which the members of these organiza-
tions evince In the young and in the
beautiful, they have taken hold Of an
issue which would most properly come
within the field of the action Of the
horticultural societies. Only very few
OF these latter have realized their op-
portunlty. Local horticultural socie-
ties must do something more than
hold stated meetings whereat formal
addresses are presented, usually on
topic worn threadbare by long serv-
ice and at which but small percent
age Of the membership is present.
How many such societies, started in
enthusiasm, peter out after few
years without any apparent reasonf
The members themselves wonder
what Is the matter with their society.
The matter is that they are doing
nothing, really; creating nothing; ma
king no progress. In order to be alive
the society must be aggressive; 1t
must carry its tenets and principles
beyond the confines of the meeting
room and attack problems of public
veal. The school garden movement
was started some eighty years ago.
but its most rapid development has
been within the last decade. Work in
this country is not by any means suf-
ficiently widespread. With round
100000 school gardens in Europe, Is II
any wonder that garden art has
reached wider distribution across
the ocean than It has with US?

He swore Ut was his policy
He would not advertise.
But one day he advertised.
And thereby hangs tale;
