ing three days Of the
voyage. The Sirius
made the trip from
Cork, Ireland, In eigh-
teen days, making the
last Of her historic
gun by burning her ex-

three barrels of rosin.
A great crowd gathered
at Jones' wharf TO cele-

AMERICAN ADVERTISING.
III.-The Prospect.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

There is probably no more powerful
factor In the direction of modern life
than publicity for the sale of goods
and service. 1t determines the efficiency
OF individual expenditure. makes it
possible for the industrial center to
offer it's products to the world and in
fuses throughout all society a mighty
stimulus for progress. Due TO the
efforts of the advertising men. there
is a continual straining toward higher
standards of living among all classes.
This great business, with it's ramifica-
tions reaching everywhere, is a con-
tinual call to the weary and the in
dolent to increase the service they are
giving so their share in the general in
crease may be greater.
The restless demand for better coudt-
tlons which has become SO forceful in
the world today is largely a by-product
Of the business of advertising. Pub
licity work has been done so thorough
ly that the unfortunate have fullest in
formation concerning the many neces-
saries which are denied to their
scauty incomes. The advertising man
has been one of the most effective sub
verters of conservatism. His labors
have brought about the widespread dis
satisfaction which has directed the en-
ergies of the people upon self-improve-
ment and social improvement as never
before. 1t is. therefore, doubly fitting

done so much to promote progress,

Of publications. 1t outstares one in every

known by double rows of billboards in

the suppression of the dishonest adver-
tisement. If such shall be their accom-
plishment-and there is little doubt but
that sufficient forces for them to win
will rally to their support-more will
have been achieved for the general econ
omic health than at present can we'll be
estimated. Their endeavors will be re-
membered as forming one of the great
campaigns of this generation, as being
vitality contributory to the realization
of a social state in which there will be
sufficient for each who deserves an un-
fettered opportunity for each to have and
enjoy in accordance with his capacity
for service.
Repression in all deceit in advertising
will effect q great relief for those whose
meagre incomes enable them to command
but bare necessities. In order that this
class of people-and they are in over
whelming majority-may preserve their
lives in health and decency. it is tmpera-
tive that every dollar Of their earnings
be exchanged for honest values. An hon
est. scrupuiously truthful advertising
would add many per cent to the effective
ness OF the purchasing power Of every
dollar in the poor mans hands. 1t might,
in a host of cases. mean the difference
between the want and degradation of the
slums and poverty with hope.
In the great number of cases where the
service which the wage-earner is able to
perform for society brings him in re-
turns just great enough TO proyide for
the physical needs Of his family. the ly-
ing advertisement spells. bitter peril.
Every successful advertising deception
practiced upon people of this class forces
them down toward the margin where life
is a gasp OF want and misery. Nor does
the fraudulent advertisement confine its
injury to its immediate victims. Its
filching is one of the large factors in the
social deficiency of the hungry and ILL.,
housed worker. and, in the end, the theft
is compensated at usurious interest by AL
society.
