Blind Boys Match Pennies.

Two blind newsboys who station
themselves at Thirteenth. and Market
streets at midnight to sell the bull
dog" editions of the various morning
newspapers, are furnishing a spectacle
that would call forth from Billy Sun
day some choice Sundaygrams. These
two lads, one is white and the other
is colored, when business becomes
slack, engage in quiet game of
matching pennies. OF course, they
cannot see the head tail of a coin,
but they readily tell it by the touch.
One of them evidently tried to fool
the other one night by using a smooth
penny. He had some particular mark
on it by which he could tell the head,
and when the other lad matched him
he challenged his opponent to prove
his point. The boy felt the smooth
coin and, to the surprise of the small
of the other boy.-Philadelphia Rec

An inquiry at some Of the largest banks in
New York shows that loans are being made heavily.
If concern intends to put $4,000 or 100000 into
the next years advertising appropriations the sagac-
ity of the managers is trusted for the result But
reports from other places show decided conserva-
tism and misunderstanding of the true mission of
advertising.
In small city of Pennsylvania, three adver-
tsing manufacturers who really constitute the sum-
total Of the industry of the town. today practi
caly closed down because of the disinclination Of
the local banks to let them carry their usual
campaigns. The result is that the town is stag
mated the savings bank losing deposits heavily,
the merchants doing no business except in bare
necessities and credit seriously overtaxed all around
In New Jersey town there is manufacturer
of specialties who has been obliged to reduce his
advertising IS per cent. because his bank would not
loan him money unless he did.
"The main trouble has been that bankers have
given any considerable study to the subject of
advertising They have taken the more spectacular
advertising as typical They have seen tremendous
successes, and some big disasters. These they have
Jumped together and called the whole thing
chance.
The writer goes to show that bankers have
a nisconception of modern advertising. He adds
that the time is coming when large banks will
have on their Stats with trained knowledge
and appreciation of the true value and force of ad
vertisng He says: IF this seems far-etched, remem
Der how, only decade or two ago, there weren't
any real credit men attached to banks.
With the growing recognition Of advertising
necessary sales force, advertising methods must
be made more and matter of study by the
banks; and advertising adviser, either
Der of the banks actual staff in the position of
counselor, might easily accomplish wonders in the
legitimate development of a community and of the
bank"

ARE THE BANKS TO BLAME? H

1t is frequently said that one reason why some
Philadelphia industries have not expanded as those
IN other cities have done is that the banks of Phila-
delph1a do not encourage and support aggressive
selling methods Notably it is said, they often de-
cline to loan money to be invested in advertising.
And yet the first great national advertiser of
the United States was Philadelphia banker
A Philadelphia banker, Norris stood behind the
nation and carried it through the Revolution. A
Philadelphia banker, Clark, financed the Govern
ment in the Mexican War. And again. in the time
Of the Civil War, it Philadelphia banker, Jay
Cooke who supplied the snews Of war. He did
it by advertising.
He appointed fiscal agent by Abraham
Lincoln, and his job to sell war bonds. He
abandoned the old-lne, conservative methods, and
by aggressive advertising in every good newspaper
in the North he sold 81 24OOOOOO worth of bonds.
That was the first national advertising campaign
ever f1OUn-and it was planned and executed by
Philadelphia banker.
Our bankers have been staunch supporters of
their nation in the wars of history. So too should
they be staunch supporters of the ctys business
business men in the modern warfare of commerce.
It is true that the banks are often unjustly
criticised for refusing to loan to manufacturers
who really have not the qualifications necessary to
make success of any selling campaign whether
not advertising is part of it. In order to loan
on something other than tangible security the bank
has to be convinced of the ability and energy of the
who wants the loan.
1t is equally true that the same complaint is
heard in other cities as well as in Philadelphia
Edward Mott Woolley, in article in Printers
Ink last fall said:
"The banks in the great advertising centres
such as New York and Chicago generally liberal
in their viewpoint on advertising. In the smaller
centres, the old distrust is often seen.
We should appreciate opportunity to place in the
to knOU more about advertising AS AN LNVESTNl

Again P~etticoats.

The smart petticoat for wear with
sport skirts is of kersey silk in vivid
stripes. These petticoats have a good
fare at the ankle, but at the hip they
are attached to a smoothly fitting yoke,
and the edge is finished simply with a
deep hem. no ruffies or founces break
ing the smooth, trim line. For golf
and all other out of door sports they
are ideal, since their silk texture is so
beautifully light and the flare at the
foot prevents their clinging about the
limbs in active exercise. Tailored
skirts call for more elaborate petit
coats, and those of pussy willow taf-
feta, with scant ruffies put on with
cording, are the most distinctive sort.
All petticoats measure two and a half
to three yards at the edge now, and
some of the more elaborate dancing
petticoats Of lace own to five and even
six yards Of width.

Suffrage Notes

Suffrage interest in Cape May County
this week centered around the school
for watchers at Wildwood, conducted
by Mrs. F. A. Colvin, vice president
of the New Jersey association. An in
terested group of thirty county suffrag-
lists attended the school and soon be-
came acquainted with the methods of
watching the polls and other civic
duties of election day. After the
school the pupils and instructors we're
entertained at luncheon by the Wild
wood Equal Suffrage League al Hunts
theatre where the sessions were held.
The Suffrage shop, which has had
such a successful season on the board
walk, has been removed to Pacific ave-
nue. opposite Hunts theatre. A 81
cious shop has been attractively deco
rated with suffrage banners and colors
and an active campaign to interest the
voters will be conducted from this
shop. A feature of the suffrage shop
work will be nightly speeches to the
theatre crowd by prominent local suf-
ragists. A committee from the local
league will keep the shop open every
evening from seven to half past ten and
a cordial invitation has been given to
all interested to visit it.
The suffragists of Cape May County
are delighted with the number of
pledges they receive daily from the
voters in supportoft the SUI rage amend
ment and are looking forward to a large
majority vote In their county.

Have you ever gone to a party and
faced the problem of where to put your
handkerchief? Party dresses as a rule
are not provided with pockets. A CIR
die is a dangerous hiding place for q
handkerchief if one desires to keep the
handkerchief. A pretty finish to such

In the primaries on Tuesday, Septem-

Cape May, won by the narrow margin
of 154 the Republican nomination for
State Senator from Cape May county,
over Councilman Miles Rigor, Of Wild

home of Mr.. Rigor, gave him a fine
vote, having 247 plurality on the
island. There were some surprises,
however. One of them was the vote of
Anglesea, which was expected to go
much stronger for Rigor. In Ocean
City Stevens got a vote that surprised
everybody. There were three contest
ants for the Republican Assembly nom-
ination, former Prosecutor and Assem-
blyman E. G. Cole, Of Seaville; Mark
Lake, of Ocean City, and Gilbert S.
Smith, Of Avalon. The vote was very
close, but it is reported that MT. Lake
was nominated by the narrow margin
of Is votes over Mr.. Cole. There was
no opposition in the Democratic party
for candidates and Senator Wheaton
was re-nominated for the Senate and
