Firing Is Curtailed.

Both commanding officers reported
on board Prairie, received instructions
as to disposition of our forces and gen
eral instructions relative to gun fire
from their ships. 1t was not desired to
cause any more destruction OF property
than was necessary to protect our men
ashore, and buildings were to be nred
upon only when 1t was ascerta1ned that
they were being used by the Mexicans
as defensive positions from which they
directed fire upon our troops. This plan
was most effectively and efficiently car
ried out by the commanding officers OF
all three ships, and not building was
fired into unnecessarily.
1.-THE Chester was moored lnshore
nearest to the firing and at daybreak
rifle firing was directed from small tugs
and barges near No. 3 breakwater. This
was returned with rifle fire. but had to
be silenced by three-inch gun. Later
firing from a number of points in this
section OF the city was located ana ootn
three-inch and fve-inch guns OF the
Chester had to be used to silence IT,.

May Record

Last month The Star carried over a million
lines of paid advertising, daily average of over
100 columns, and Sunday average OF nearly 200
columns an issue.
The reason for this extraordinary concentra-
ton of advertising is to be found in the equally
extraordinary concentration of the newspaper
reading public of Washington on The Star.

Cooperation in the publicity bust
ness and honesty in advertising were
stressed at the banquet given at Ho-
tel Ansley Thursday night by the
Atlanta Ad Mems Club in honor of
William Woodhead, president of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of
America.
Almost a hundred representative
citizens gathered at the festal board
to DO honor to the distinguished Wis
itor, who is paying an informal visit
to the local publicity experts.
p. Fl. Goodhart, president Of the
AID Mems Club, presided at the ban
quet.
S. c. Dobbs, former president of
the Associated Advertising Club OF
America, was the first speaker He
told of his meeting with Mr.. Wood
head in the West several years ago
and how he induced the present head
OF the national association to join
the organization.
Woodhead Praises Dobbs.
THE advertising mems association
Is made up of growing men," said
Mr.. Dobbs, men who see visions to-
day and tomorrow put them into
actualities. They are men who are
coming words into money. To- day
1t is a privilege for any man to say
he belongs to one"
Mr.. Woodhead, who followed, spoke
in the highest terms of praise of the
work Mr. Dobbs has done for the
advertising cause.
Three or four years ago the ad
mems clubs We're chiefly social or
CARNATIONS and their meetings were
of a vaudeville character said he.
Now all that is changed, and large
ly as the result of the work Mr..
Dobbs did at the Boston convention
in 1911, the first real convention the
association ever held.
Has 10000 Members.
There are now something like 1875
or 100 ad mems clubs in the coun-
try, and the total membership is in
the neighborhood of ten thousand.
THE Boston convention was the
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-01-16

real beginning. At the Baltimore
convention last summer we made our
declaration of principles. Then the
great 'get-together' movement was
inaugurated.
The curtain is now up and the
play is on. We are going to COM
plete the prologue begun in Boston
three years ago with a convention in
Toronto this summer. And it will be
the greatest gathering in our his
tory.
The spirit of cooperation which
is solving the perplexities of big
business-the age-long feud of labor
and capital-will also solve all incon-
sistencies which present themselves
to our organization.
This spirit of cooperation will
bring about honesty in advertising.
Truthful advertising soon will be the
only kind an honest paper will &C
cept.
"Weed Out the Takers"
THE greatest evil we have to con-
tend with to-day is the quack and
the faker. Every time a man or wo
man is cheated by fake advertising
the cause of honest advertising is
injured. 1t is the duty of the hon
Of the business
Mr.. Woodhead told of his recent at
tendance upon a meeting of the exec
utive committee of the association in
New York City, where many matters
of vital import to the advertising men
were discussed.
The speaker said the time has come
when advertising mems conventions
should be made up Of advertising
men
I'VE are willing to welcome others"
said he, but the voting delegates
should be men who either buy or sell
advertising space"
Plan New Depa
Attention was called to several
branches Of the advertising business
which have been more or less neg
leCted. Mr.. Woodhead hopes, he said,
to organize a department of com
munity advertising, a department to
