The jewelers.
Experiment

A large jewelry manufacturing
concern recently began to ex-
pertinent with newspaper adver-
tising.
A middle western city was
chosen for the try-out, and with
in a week a large number of new
dealers had been secured.
The jewellers knew that the ar
ticIe was good. They knew that
as soon as the advertising ap-
peared in the newspapers, de-
mand would be knocking at their
store doors.
They were quick to act as self
interest dictated.
Newspaper advertising not only
stimulates consumer demand,
but it rouses the dealer to quick
cooperation.
Definite facts on this subject
have been compiled under the
heading, THE Dealer and His
Friends" which will be sent on
request by the Bureau of Adver-
tising. American Newspaper Pub

HOW TO LIVE LONGER

AIH-RuIe 1-SOme people do not
have the chance to work or play i'm the
open air or to get fresh air in their
workrooms. But at night it is differ
ent. We spend a third of our time in
bed, and while we are asleep we can
get plenty of fresh air.
You should always have all the win
dows in Jour bedrooms wide open. The
night air will not hurt you. 1t is good
for you. If you breathe god air all
night, you will feel more rested in the
morning and better able to do your
work.
If possible. sleep out of doors, but
have plenty of nightclothes and bed
clothes to keep you warm.
If there are mosquitoes or flies. hang
a piece of light mosquito netting over
the bed.

OUR DAILY LAUGH
MY VALENTINE
BY Wing Dinger

This morning the whole bloomin' house
hold
Held odors of blistering paint.
/ said to myself, That's the furnace,
In the boiler no water there amt"
flew to the cellar-the furnace
Was hot and just choking with thirst.
I turned water into the boiler
1t drank, then it hissed, then it burst.
SO out in the kitchen they're sitting
The good wife and both of the kids.
Keeping warm round the cookstove,
while hubby
On boilers is opening bids.
One problem that's bothered me muchly
Is solved-in manner benign
on Monday I'll give to the family
A furnace as my valentine.

War News in Brief

German advices admit that the Teu-
tonic situation of Czernowitz is criti-
cal For so hours the Russians shell
ed the Austrian's position with 400
guns.
Austrian official report says the Rus
sian losses on the Bessarablan frontier
and the Stripa region during the New
Years fighting were $4,000.
There is no indication in official re-
ports of marked activity on any of the
war fronts except along the line in the
east from Volhynia, southward to Bes-
sarabia. Even here the fighting be
tween Austro-German and Russian
forces seems to have slackened.
A British submarine was sunk of
the Dutch coast The admiralty an
nouncement of the sinking does not
state the cause or give the name OF
the submarine. The entire crew Of 80
was rescued by Dutch cruiser and
taken TO Holland.
Previous statements that no warn
ing was given the liner Persia and that
the blow that sent her to the bottom
came from an unseen source are con-
frmed in afiidayits from Fl survivors
obtained by United States Consul Gar
rels at Alexandria. The consul so ad-
vised the State Department. One OF
the affidavits was from Charles H..
Grant, an American citizen
The movement for the rehabilitation
of the Serbian Army is growing, ac-
cording to advices from various quar-.
ters.
The Teutonic allies still threaten to
expel the French and British from
their Macedonian positions, but no for
ward move has been detected thus far
in that direction.
Strong Turkish forces are said to be
concentrating on the Thracian frontier
of Greece, and it is suggested the
Turks may attempt to make good some
OF the territorial losses they suffered
during the Balkan wars.
The British public is concerned
chiefly with the domestic crisis. Not
withstanding the heavy majority for
the compulsion bill on first reading in
the House of Commons, the press is
speculating on the possibility of a
breakup of the political truce, with a
general election as the final chapter
of the controversy.

WARNS AGAINST

Harrisburg. popular appeal for
he prevention of occupational diseases
has been instituted by Commissioner
John Price Jackson, of the Department
of Labor and Industry, by the publica-
ton of series of small pamphlets,
prepared by the Division of Industrial
Hygiene and Engineering, calling at
tention to the everyday dangers in
various trades.
This series of small pamphlets is en-
titled "Timely Hints" The first folder
of the series, for employers and en-
ployes, point out to the employer the
econoimc value of safety in the fac
tory, and to the employe the danger OF
dust, impure air and personal careless
ness,

Many Killed carelessIy.

An appeal for the prevention of In
dustrial accidents and disease is voiced
in the second pamphlet Of the series.
This folder declares that more than
three persons are killed and $50 In.
jured every day in the industries in
Pennsylvania, and that fifty per cent
of these accidents are avoidable. A
separate folder for elevator operators
points out that ninety per cent Of ac-
cidents on elevators occur at landings,
and are due to carelessness. Steam
boiler firemen are warned that last
year in the United States there were
467 boiler explosions which killed 14S
and injured 315 persons.

THE PERSIA HAD
A GUN ON BOARD
New Development May Compli-
cate The Situation.
CONSUL TO GET AFFIDAvITS
Sensations In Submarine Warfare
Lead the President To End His
Bridal Tour To Take Charge
OF the Situation.

hington.-President Wilson is
back in Washington to take up the
grave diplomatic situation that has
again been created by the activity of
the submarine ships. To the destruc-
ton of the Persia with the loss Of sew
eral hundred lives, among them one
American. comes the announcement of
the sinking OF the British steamships
Glengyle and the st. Oswald and the
Japanese freighter Kenkoku Maru. So
far as is known no American lives
we're lost on either of the two British
ships or the japanese freighter.
The destruction of the Persia,
ominous as It is because Of the death
of an American, Consul Robert N. Nc
Neely, will not threaten rupture of
relations between Austria-Hungary
and this country, even If it develops
the fact that It was an Austrian sub
marine that sent her to the bottom.
Secretary Lansing pointed out that II
had not yet even been established Off
cially that the Persia had been tor.
pedoed. Baron Zwiedenik, the Aus
tria-Hungarian charge de affaires, was
at the State Department and assured
Secretary Lansing that his govern
ment would disavow the action OF the
submarine commander If it proved to
be an Austrian submarine which was
at fault.
Evidently the State Department be-
lieyes that IL was an Austrian sub
marine that was responsible il the
ship was torpedoed for Ambassador
Penfeld, at Vienna, was cabled to
make inquiries of the Austro.Hun-
garan government.
A Gun On the Persia.
The most sensational development
of the destruction of the Persia proves
to be the presence of at least one AZ
gun mounted at her stern. The infor-
nation that the Persia was armed
reached the State Department in a
dispatch from Consul Carrals, sent
from Alexandria, Egypt.
The State Department recognizes
the Importance of the presence of the
gun on the Persia. While declining to
answer any questions, officials of the
department concede that a Al gun on
merchantmen may rob the ship of
it's immunity against attack without
warning. The ordnance experts of the
Navy Department, while observing
due caution in their statements, made
It clear that AZ gun on ship would
prove a grave menace to submarine.
II was recalled by the ordnance ex-
perts of the Navy that the four-inch
guns of the German cruiser Emden
proved effective at range of 10000
yards, which is nearly 12 miles, and
it was pointed out with pride that the
United States Navy has recently per-
fected a four-inch gun that is thor
oughly effective at $4,000 yards. A
one-inch gun, Il was said by the ex-
perts. could fire a shell that would
prove fatal against submarine at a
mile or a mile-and-a-half distance.

Washington. - The United States
Governments Pan-American policy
was revealed in detail by President
Wilson in an address before the Sec
ond Pan-American Scientific Congress.
He explained the proposals submitted
to South and Central American diplo-
mats here last week by Secretary
Lansing as a basis for an effective

What Plan Embodes.
This program, as outlined by the
President, proposes that all the Ameri-

Unite in guaranteeing to each
other obsolute political independ

Agree to settle all pending boun-

by amicable process.
Agree to handle all disputes
arising among them by patient
impartial investigation and to set
tie them by arbitration.
Agree that no revolutionary e1-
pedition shall be outfitted against
or supplies for revolutionists ship
ped to neighboring states.
"These are very practical sugges-
TONS said the President, "and l, for
my part, believe that they are going
TO lead the way to something that
America has prayed for for many a
generation"
He said the Monroe Doctrine always
had been and always would be main
tanned by the United States on its own
authority, but that the doctrine did not
disclose what attitude the United
States would assume toward other
nations of the hemisphere, and conse-
Quently the other nations had been dis.
