Praises Advertising.
Close Proximity to the Trade
Makes Newspapers Valuable
Publicity Medium, Says Fox.

Lawrence, Feb. 3-One of the
strongest arguments in favor OF
newspaper advertising is its close
proximity to the trade it is ex'
pected to reach. Newspapers
advertising. therefore, lends it
self to intensive cultivation and
must be considered in a class by
itself for this particular purpose,
direct publicity. This was the
conclusion reached by Andrew
N. Fox, of Chicago, in a talk be-
fore Kansas merchants in Law
renee this morning.
For cultivating local field
the retailer will find the news
paper his best servant" Mr.. Fox
said. Much of the success OF
newspaper advertising can be
traced directly to the principle OF
training the public through a
long series of regular visits, to
look for certain things at certain
times at certain places. A re-
view of the careers of successful
retailers establishes the fact that
their success has been in the pro-
portion that they have taken adj
vantage of this.
There is only one kind OF adj
vertising worth while; that is
good Advertising That is true
whether it happens to take the
form of a newspaper, ad, win
dow display, a counter display,
or the attitude of a clerk in maxi
ing a sale. Good printing is an
important item, and should be
given proper attention. Good
advertising is nothing more than
storing the prospects mind with
good impressions of good goods.
The kind of goods may vary,
but the law is always the same"
Mr.. Fox cites the increased
sale of automobiles since 1900 as
a result of advertising campaigns.
In 1900 there were 1900 automo.
biles in the country. In Jann-
airy of 1915 there was an automo-
bile for every seventy-five of the
entire population. Large cred
it must be given for the develop
ment of this industry to the edu-
cational value of advertising, "
said Mr.. Fox.
THE effect upon industry, and
indirectly upon the masses, if for
a year all advei tising we're sud-
denly to disappear is iuconceiv-
able. No substitute could be
found or agent produced to do its

The Boy Scout.
His Obligation Duties.

Before becoming a boy scout a
boy must promise:
To do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the Scout
Law.
To help other people at all
To keep myself physically
strong. mentally awake, and
morally straight.
The Scout Law follows:
A Scout is trustworthy.
A Scout is loyal.
A Scout is helpful.
A Scout is friendly. y
A Scout is courteous.
A Scout is kind.
A Scout is obedient.
Several other laws follow along
the same line,
The organization is neither
military in thought nor spirit,
though it does instill military
virtues of honor, loyalty, obed-
fence and patriotism.
There is no sectarianism in
the Boy Scouts. While religious
influence is recognized in the
training of the boy, the members
of no church nor belief are barred.
Many useful things are taught
the boy a few of which follow;
He is taught first aid in all acct
dents. as: drowning, fire, poison
ing, panics. and many others.
He is taught the tying Of COM
mon knots; how to use an ak;
kinds of trees flowers and plants
in his community: birds and an
finals, Distinguishing between
those which are useful and those
which are harmful; how to build
fire outdoors for camp; how to
pitch a tent and ditch to prevent
flooding; how to swim; to row;
to box; to wrestle; to train for
races; to shoot; In fact every
thing that will make him an &C
tive, energetic, self-sustaining
man.
If you want your boy to be a
sissy" don't encourage him to
join the Boy Scouts. Ifyou want
him to be a good citizen, loyal,
truthful, moral, resourceful and
intelligent. nothing in the Boy
Scouts will prevent him from be-
coming such; but there is much
to assist him. The cost is but
little, including uniforms, badges
and literature. Uniforms and
peuuauts aFe not Q necessity only
such boys as choose need buy
than.

Advertise or Quit.
Can't Afford to Waste Time or
Any Line Without Publicity,
Fox Tells Kansas
Merchants.

Lawrence, Feb. 2.-"If you
can't advertise, quit your business.
You can't afford to waste your
time on it." Andrew N. Fox,
advertising manager of the Ben
jamiu Electric Manufacturing
Co., gave this advice to Kansas
business men attending the Mer-
chants course at the University
this morning.
"The purpose of advertising is
to create a selling atmosphere, -"
said Mr.. Fox. Craftsmanship is

blue prints, screws and rivets,
pulleys and belts. that which
will appeal to the user, present.
ing the article in such a manner
that the prospective customer be-
comes willing to part with his
money to get it. This is sales
mauship, and advertising Is
craftsmanship with the multiple
cation table thrown in.
1.-THE value of manufactured
products in the United States ter
1909 amounted to $40, 6F2, 800, 800.
The working man in Europe and
America spends 48 per cent OF
his wages for food, 20 per cent
for light and rent, 20 per cent
for fuel and clothing, Il per cent
for suudries. With the increase
in family income the percentage
of expenditure for food decreases
and is comparatively iHVaFiahle,
The demand for food is basic.
The percentage of expenditure
for recreation, pleasure, educa'
ton, and culture INCREASES In Te'
Spouse to the new demands,
which are relatively incidental.
Successful business and ad-
vertising #eH are the aHes Wba

Our constantly increasing wealth,

THE msrehaut who Is q good

THROUGH GERMAN LINES
DISGUISED AS WOMEN

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence.
Petrograd, July How two Russian
aviators made their way through the
German lines disguised as peasant WON
en-, is told in dispatch from the Nienen
front.
The two aviators had gone up to re-
connoitre distant section of the Ger
man lines. After scouting for several
ho:.rs their engine failed and they were
compelled to descend behind the German
trenches in small Lithuanian village.
The peasant women helped them to de-
s:roy their aeroplane and gave them
tlouses. skirts and handkerchiefs. These
they put on and, carrying market bas-
kets. they traversed the German lines
FOR a long distance among the German
speaking peasants.
Reaching the Niemen. they dotted their
skirts and dived into the river. This was
observed, and the Germans, realizing
that they had been tricked, started firing
on them. However, they safely reached
the Russian bank and rejoined their
comrades. half-clad in dripping blouses
and kerchiefs.

Bangor. Me. July eo.-Those German
submarines that have been sighted from
a New York newspaper Office cruising
about Penobscot bay Off Castine and
old town itself, which circumstance rath
er puzzles the natives and must be added
On Saturday of last week when the
alarm first spread. earnest investigators
who expected to find the ancient town
Of Castine in an uproar over the daring
invasion of the bay by Won Tirpitz's tor
pedo sharks were astonished and muc.,
disappointed to find that no one there
had even heard Of any submarines being
about-no one but a negro servant girl
at a small hotel, who couldn't remember
where she had heard the story.
Prof. Won Mach interviewed
: First Of all. it was stated from New
Yark that Prof. Won Mach, who has =
summer home at West BruoKsville, oppo-
site Castine, probably knew something
about the invading commerce destroy
ers, but the professor is harmless ana
gentle old fellow who IS more intereste
in digging up Indian relics than he is in
naval affairs, and he was astonished and
grieved to learn that even a peaceful an
tiquarian should not be free from sus-
picion. He and Prof. Moorehead Of An
dover academy have been carrying on
these excavations for years around Fe-
Eobscot bay and river, and they have
Enearthed enough stone spears and ar
rowheads to sink battleship.
Mrs. Wallace Saw None
Next came the story that a Mrs. Helen
Wallace, a wealthy New York woman.
who had arrived in Castine on Saturday
in her yacht, had actually sighted not
one submarine. but several, during her
trip up the bay. and that they were Ger
man boats. Just how she knew the ma
tionaity of the boats is not stated. nor
even how she knew they were subma-
rines at all, but it was worth investigat-
ing, and so reporters chased all over
Castine from the upper landing to Dyce's
Head looking for the wealthy Mrs. Wal
lace and her yacht.
II was found that there were no yachts

ARE THOSE GERMAN SUBMARINES
OFF COAST BEER KEGS OR MERELY
CAN BUOYS? - INVESTIGATING

that Mrs. Wallace came in the regular
steamer with her husband, and that nei-
Their she nor he had seen anything at all
resembling a submarine and that the
whole yarn was news to them.
Finally, il was found that a servant
girl named Wallace had heard someone
say that someone else had said that
there was a story in some newspaper to
the effect that the old German over at
Brooksvlle (meaning Prof. Won Mach)
was not there to dig up Indian arrows.
but to maintain supply station for
German submarines and that the gov
eminent was after him.
That was all there was to it, and the
excitement, which hadn't created even a
ripple at Castine, the story not being
known in the principal summer houses
and the hotels, subsidized in the kitchen Of
the Dome of the Rock. where it started.
RidieuIed by Natives
The idea of German submarine base
on the Maine coast excites the ridicule
and sarcasm Of the natives. In the first
place. Castine is at the head of Penob-
scot bay, two or three hundred miles
from the Atlantic steamer lanes. In the
second place, there isn't spot in that
neighborhood fit for such a purpose, and
even if there were ample facilities it.
would be impossible to maintain any,
thing like secrecy. every foot of the
coast, on mainland and islands, being
occupied either by settlers or at this
time of year by cottagers.
1t is declared that since the summer
visitors began to swarm in there has not
been a place on the entire coast, from
Kittery to Quoddy Head, where a bather
in natures own garb would be safe from
observing eyes. Then again, it is as
much as the old native pilots can do to
navigate the waters Of Penobscot bay
without humping some Of the million
rocks or grounding on some of the shoals
or fats, and a foreigner, especially in,
thick weather. would be almost certain
to come to grief. !
A submarine would stand about as
much chance among the rocks and shoals
Of the Maine coast as blind man in a.
saw mill. It is suggested in shipping;
circles that someone more used to green
fields than blue seas may have seen a
can buoy or a derelict beer key and
taken it for the periscope Of . German,
raider.

Washington. July 22.-An aerial tor
pedo boat for attack on ships in pro-
tected harbors is projected in patents
Just issued, 1t vas learned today. to
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske. now
attaahed to the navy war college, but
fcrrgfly aid for operations to Secre-
tary Daniels.
The plan contemplates eQuipping a
monster aeroplane, similar to a num-
Der now under construction in this
country for the British government,
with White Head torpedo Of regula :
ton navy type.
Swooping down at a distance Of i've
sea miles from the object Of attack.
the aircraft would drop its deadly pas
senger into the water just as it would
have been launched from q destroyer.
The impact sets the torpedo's ma
chinery in motion. and 1t Is off at a
speed Of more than 40 knots an hour
toward the enemy ship.
Theerckieai Efficiency
Admiral Fiske believes that the fly
ing torpedo boat would make it pos
sible to attack q feet even within a
land locked haroor. The range Of the
newest navy torpedoes is 10000 yards
and even the older type has been eff
fective at 1000 yards. Carried on a
huge aeroplane the 1000 pound weap-
on would be taken over harbor de-
lenses at an altitude safe from gun
fire. Once over the bay. the machine
would glide TO within 10 or 20 feet of
ths water. the torpedo rudders would
