ooNscRIPT1oN BILL WINS
House Committee viii Report
Favorablv Today.

Washington, D. c., April IL
The administration made such
headway in the House Committee
on Military Affairs today that the
favorable report of the army con-
scription bill, with but one mater
ial amendment, became a practi-
cal certainty tonight. The bill is
expected to go into the House
within 48 hours; indications favor
it's report tomorrow afternoon.
The recalcitrants OH the COM
mittee gradually lost ground to-
day until the proponents of the
selective draft gained the major
.ity. On the showdown it is not
believed more than half dozen
members, mostly Democrats, will
oppose the bill,
A change in the ages of the
classes to be called out by the
President under the selective
draft plan is the only material
modification scheduled to receive
the approval of the House Com
mittee, which, until today, had
been inimical to the administra-
tion s bill. ..
Instead of a draft Of men be-
tween the ages of 19 and %, the
House Committee is expected to
vote, and the administration to
accept, that the matter of men
under the conscription plan shall
be as follows:
First call eligible men between
the ages of 20 and 25, inclusive !;
second call, ages 26 to 30; third
call, ages 33 to 81; fourth, ages
38 to AZ. If a fifth class should
be needed, the ages of those draft
ed for military service will be be-
tween 43 and 4S.

If you contemplate taking a flyer"
in advertising, better not do it. 1t
won't get you anywhere except to the
erroneous conclusion that advertising
is Of no value so far as your busi-
ness is concerned. Advertising is not
an experiment, and not a medium to
be experimental with The advertiser
must accept this conviction in order to
carry conviction to those whom he
wishes to reach. He must take an
active interest in his advertising in
order to command the interest of
others. He must have a definite pur-
pose in order to accomplish definite
results. Effective advertising is per-
sistent and systematic. Perfunctory
advertising is waste of money and
effort.
