MAKING WAR ON BILLBOARD
American Civic Association Regards

From its very institution, the Amer

self to the protection of the public
against three great nuisances-smoke,
poles and wires, and billboards. At
the annual convention of the associa-
ton in Washington one of the import
ant subjects discussed was billboards,
with a principal address, entitled
"The Passing of the Signboard," by
Jesse Lee Bennett of Baltimore in
which he recounted the steps that had
been taken for the legal control Of
the billboard in all parts of the United
States.
Concerning the sentiment against
the billboard, Mr.. Bennett said: "The
feeling against the signboard has be-
come nationwide and in the past few
years the agitation Of civic organiza-
tions has been so successful as to
awaken resentment against 1t SO wide
spread that, from coast to coast and
In almost every state and city, there
are now, or have been, vigorous move
ments seeking the abolition or regula-
ton of these unnecessary and disfig-
uring objects.
There has been much agitation,
and from it there has been distilled
one thing-the recognition of the fact
that what is called the signboard
problem is a question more complex
than the mere removal of the signs.
The signboard has been found to be
inextricably intertwined with two
questions Of even greater Importance
The awakening of civic sentiment
and the recognition by legislators
and judges of the validity of argu-
ments based upon esthetic considera.
tions."
Commenting on what ought to be
the attitude of the law and the courts
toward the billboard, he added:
1T would take our psychologist but
a few minutes to show that 1t Is not
a question of ear, or nose, or eye, but
a question of the brain and of the
very consciousness that is life itself
No law should permit any man to
intrude or force himself or his bust.
ness into another mans consciousness
to the extent that outdoor advertis
ing has come to permit, an intrusion
UNNECESSARILY increased by the fact
that it is impossible to avoid seeing
signboards."

There was but one vacant chair:
and as she saw Warrington nowhere.
Elsa assumed that this must be his
reservation. She was, rather glad that
he would be beyond conversational
radius. She liked to talk to the
strange and lonely man, but she pre-
ferred to be alone with him when she
did so.
She began as of old to study care

speculate as to their characters and
occupations. Her negligent observa-

upon his food and did not offer her
even furtive glance.
He was not in happy state OF

moment to avoid meeting again the
one man he feared. For ten years this
man had been reckoned among the

lieved. And then, to meet him face to
face in that sordid boarding house had
shaken the cool nerve of the gambler.
He was worried and bewildered. He
had practically sent this man to ruin.
What would be the reprisal? He
reached for a mangosteen and ate the
white pulpy contents, but without the
customary relish. The phrase kept
running through his head: What
would be the reprisal? For men or his
ilk never struck without expecting to
be struck back. Something must be
done. Should he seek him and boldly
ask what he intended to do? Certainly
he could not do much on board here
except to denounce him to the officers
as professional gambler. And Paul
would scarcely do that since he, Craig
had better shot in his gun. He could
tell who Paul was and what he had
done. Bodily harm was what he really
feared
He had seen Elsa, but he had worked
out that problem easily. She was sure
to say nothing so long as he let her
be; and with the episode of the hat
pin still fresh in his memory, he as
suredly would keep his distance. He
had made mistake. and was not like
ly to repeat it.

sooner or later he would drop in. He
waited in vain for his man that night.
And so did Elsa. She felt indignant
at one moment and hurt at another.
The mans attitude was ineXplicable;
there was neither rhyme nor reason in
it. The very fact that she could not
understand made her wonder march
beside her even in her dreams that
night. She began to feel genuinely
sorry that he had appeared above her
horizon. Just before she retired she
leaned over the rail, watching The re-

listened. She might have imagined it,
for at night the ears deceive. "Jah,

the muffled plant of Rajah.
Next day, at luncheon, the chair was
still vacant. Elsa became alarmed.
Perhaps he was i'll. She made in

and the ships officers and some of the

cheating her out of a glorious sunset.
