ed the information that they
appreciated the advertising of the
merchants, and many said that they
depended upon the advertisements
to assist them in shopping. Bar
gain hunters, especially, watch adj
vertisements closely for sales, and
regular customers often watch
them for announcements of the
arrival of new goods.
1t is rather a pertinent fact that
the four firms not mentioned adj
vertise rarely, or not at all. One
student asked sixteen women if adj
vertising influenced their buying.
Fourteen answered in the afirma-
tive.
Three hundred thirteen house
keepers estimated that they spend
$4,000 each year for their family
dry goods. This is an average of
$257.51. All of this sum is not
spent in Columbia, but no attempt
was made to determine the exact
proportions.
INSUFFICIENT PUBLICITY
Columbia merchants are unusual
ly favored in having about 1000
students in town most Of the year,
and not being close to any large
city. The retail establishments are
unusually good,and the people, as a
whole, are boosters, and loyal to
their merchants. But, in proper
ton to the business done, dry goods
is one of the least advertised
commodities.
The "Daily Missourian,' which is
issued by the students of the School
of Journalism, expects to induce
many of the dry goods merchants to
use advertising to show Columbia
people that they can buy dry goods
as we'll in Columbia as elsewhere.
The purpose of the investigation
was to get the sentiment of the
shoppers. They have spoken. The
question now is, "What are the
going to do about it.

ARCADE TONIGHT
Dollars And The Woman"

Dan Hilyer won his wife Madge
after a hard fight with rival, Ar
thur Crewe. After marriage, Dan
and Madge had hard luck and slid
down the social scale until they
reached a two room tenement in a
mean street. Dan, however, kept
fighting, and got chance to go to
San Francisco to market a smeller
patent which would make him rich.
During his absence, Madge gives
birth to son. Owing to the fact
that she is without funds, she is
cared for during this period by
Crewe, although she does not know
it. When Dan returns, he finds his
wife changed from a cheerful, nor
NAL woman to a miser-this being
the physiological effect on her Of
the horrible poverty she has UNDER
gone before the birth Of her child.
!. Although he now has money, she
refuses to dress decently, live in
decent home, or part with her
boarded pennies. In trying to under
stand, the cause Of this change, Dan
stumbles upon the fact that Crewe
not only supported Madge at the.
hospital, but that she had paid him
back money that he had lent her. l
This leads to suspicion-eventu-
ally to tremendous quarrel, and a.
parting between husband and wife,
and their happiness is only saved by,
Crewe coming forward and confess
ing his part in their affairs.

Mclaughlin met Walnun after quit ting work and the two proceeded to Weiss saloon at Adams and Fulton streets. Mclaughlin has access to the ship which figures in the case, and he also possessed a government identi- fcation card, without which no en- ploye can enter upon any dock or into any shipyard where government work is being done. Walnun, in or der to get on board the ship, had to have government permit, and he schemed, according to Mclaughlin, to gain access to the ship with Me- Laughlins card.
 In his affidavit Mclaughlin says that Walnun conversed with him re- sarding the big grain elevator fires in Brooklyn last week, and told him that up to Thursday night he (Wal- nun had attended to no fewer than eight fires in the previous thirty two hours, all of them along the Brook lyn waterfront He mentioned a fire ill Thirty-fourth street, another in Twenty-s seventh street, and one on the property of the Porto Rico Steamship company.

Walnun told him, he says, that it was the plan to put the bomb in the hold near the peak.

DREAM 0F EMPIRE
 NEARLY CAME TRUE
Greece Would Have Been a Ruling
 Power But for Events

Athens, Sept. 25-(Correspondenc Of The Associated Press. .)-A dream of empire which would have made Greece a ruling power in Asia Minor along the route to the Orient came very near being realized at the open ing of the war in Europe. This has Just been brought out with official exactness in the mass of diplomatic documents laid before parliament, and in statements by Premier Ven izelos and the minister of foreign af- fairs, M Politis. Referring to the territorial concessions which Greece could have acquired at that time, M. Venizelos said:-
 "I had succeeded in obtaining the recognition of the rights of Hellen- ism over western Asia Minor. And l can say without exaggeration that the day I received the communica- tion of Sir Edward Grey speaking of very important territorial concessions on the coast of Asia Minor, was a day of rejoicing as keen as that when the treaty of Bucharest was signed, giving us Saloniki, Macedonia and new Greece.
 "I who had known how small and feeble Greece was only three or four years ago, saw the supplying bound she was about to make. This little Greece had now succeeded in occupy ing a place equal to that of the great powers in the settlement of the fate of Turkey which had been the apple of discord between the European powers"
 But as Asia Minor was field of German ambition and hope, M. Ven ixelos said he found himself opposed not only by the then King Constan- tine. but also by the army general staff, which, he declared, "served policy purely Germanic." And with this opposition, backed by the king, the opportunity held out to Greece to become a great power in Asia was finally lost.
 M Politis, the minister of foreign affairs, gave some of the details of these concessions, and told how near they came to being realized in two formal treaties.
 Such was the desire of the west ern powers" he said, ito have Greece adopt policy mutually advantageous to them and to Greece, that they de-
 
 they were ready to assure to Greece, in return for its cooperation in the war against Turkey, Smyrna and an important part of the hinterland."
 After lengthy discussion, M. Politis said, double convention was con- cluded But at this point the army staff intervened and succeeded in de- feating the plan.
 While these large territorial plans came to nothing, yet their defniteness indicates they may again be heard from when final adjustment of the war takes place, for Greece is not unlike ly to have the same aspirations to- ward entering Asia Minor, and the western powers the same willingness they have already shown to give Greece a foothold on this route to the Orient.

HELD ON CHARGE
 OF DEEP PLOTTING
Man Said to Have Attempted to Blow Up Ship

New York, Oct. 20.-The patriot lin. a ship worker, employed by the United States government, has led to the discovery of what may prove to have been a conspiracy to destroy German ships seized by the United States as well as certain auxiliaries now building for the navy. As re- suit of clever work by Mclaughlin a man who describes himself as Charles w. Walnun, Norwegian, 32 years old. was arraigned before United States Commissioner McGoldrick in Brooklyn yesterday afternoon and held without bail to await further in vestigation of the charge that he had plotted to place a bomb in a vital spot on board one of the largest of the German liners which the govern ment took over following the declar- ation of war.
 According to the affidavits filed with Commissioner McGoldrick by representatives of the government Walnun divulged the secret of the plot to Mclaughlin after he had con- vinced himself that Mclaughlin was an Irishman of the pro- German and anti-English type. As events proved he never made a greater mis- take. Walnun, when arraigned be- fore Commissioner McGoldrick, plead cd innocence and said he had taken out his first citizenship papers. The prisoner said he left Norway about three years ago and went to Argen- tina. He came to New York last January and for six months has been a member of the crew of Harry Payne Whitney's yacht, the While Away, lying in Tebo's yacht basin.
 The affidavit made by Mclaughlin says that not only did Walnun men ton certain vessel in Brooklyn as the one on which a bomb was to be placed, but also spoke of another o1 the big seized ships, and referred to a fleet of auxiliaries which he said would never be of any use to the United States.

STREET OILING is INCREASING
Many Minnesota Cities Are Improving
Highways with Small Expenditure
Oil Lessons Disease.

An engineer representing a COM
pany supplying an improved machine
for effectually applying dust-laying
and bodybuilding oils to city streets
spent Saturday in Sank Centre. He
claimed less than half the quantity Of
oil was needed when machine applied.
According to the information he had,
about 40 cities, including all the larg-
er ones in this state, are now using
oil on their dirt and unpaved streets.
He also quoted the League of Minneso-
ia Municipalities for the statement
that nearly four times as many cities
used oil in 1916 compared to 1915.
The Herald has been of the opinion
for some time that the use of oil is
highly beneficial when rightly applied
Great emphasis, by those advocating
it's use, is now placed on it's value as
a disease preventative and general
hygienic precaution. Most germ dis
eases, including infantile paralysis,
are propagated by flying dust.
While the use of oil is primarily for
water proofing and otherwise preser-
wing the surface of roadways, it does
lay the dust effectively. In fact, there
isn't any dust when oil is used. This
advantage alone justifies the expenses
incurred by its use in the opinion of
many health officials.
Summed up, its advantages are sal,
to be reduction in cost of repairs t.
streets; improvement Of roadways, ul-
timately resulting in bituminous
surfaced street, and the elimination of
mud and dirt, making less houseclean-
ing necessary. The cost per square
yard for oil is said to be approximate
ly IL cents. This is about half the
annual upkeep costs Of maintaining
any Of the expensive modern pave
ments.
While not protesting engineering
knowledge, it appears to the Herald
that a practice so well established
should be adopted by Sank Centre, at
least experimentally.
