THE CASE OF BIG BILL"

Mayor Thompson of Chicago says
that he hates to see American boys
sent TO the trenches in Europe. The
only other alternative is that Of the
German boys being sent to the
trenches in the United States, and the
mayor is not ready to say which sit
uation he prefers. When asked if ne
hoped that America would win the
war; he begged the question by re-
ferring to the advice of George Wash
lngton, who said the nation should
keep out of foreign acknowledgements.
Fancy what George Washington would
say today. AS we remember history,
Washington was hardly the man to
take not merely one. but a dozen slaps
in the face. To resent that he would
foreign or barbed wire.
Thomrson's attitude since the be-
ginning of the war is somewhat puZ-
zling. one familiar with his political
career would offer the first guess that
the safety of the country is entirely a
secondary matter when his political
ambitions are concerned. Undoubtedly
he is figuring on large German vote
If his adamantine-l like nerve leads him
to be a candidate for office, but there
must be enough patriots in Chicago to
more than cover the German vote.
The theory that Thompson is taking
German money will hardly stand be-
cause he is rich, having inherited a
fortune in real estate Thus far there
is no evidence that he is a German
spy for he has a good American name
He was something Of scrapper In
his early days. having played football
and been enough of a cowboy to veal
a cowboy hat. The final theory tina
he is suffering from a form of menta
alteration has the largest number o
believers. That particular form o
malady is prevalent in localities il
this country. and Thompson has prob
ably absorbed a few germs.

BUSINESS EFFICIENCY

1T used to be our idea that the

pulled" remarked the advertising man.
ager of an office appliance plant. But
our viewpoint has broadened since
those days. We kept elaborate records
showing exactly how many requests
for booklet each ad pulled; how
many orders We're traceable to it, and
so on. Each request for literature
was, of course, followed by a call from
our salesman in that territory.
Now we make little. if any. at

our advertising space primarily to ed

an elaborate and expensive booklet
suggesting that here is an opportunity
to get something for nothing, and the
thing is done But what results?
Salesmen's time is wasted in calling
upon people who are not prospects or
who, if they are prospects, require a
long educational canvass.

more sales would result in a shorter
period. The way to half sell a man
is to educate him in your straight dis
play advertising. At least that Is our
conclusion. An analysis of our sales
made under the old inquiry seeking
plan showed that more deals were
closed with men who had never re-
sponded to our advertising than with
those who had.
I'VE then changed to the educational
copy, telling the whole story in. our
display space and counting upon this
acting as an advance guard for our,
salesman. In other words, we sought
to secure universal acceptance of our
message rather than a narrower de-
mand for it. Has it paid? Most de-
cidedly. l believe that in many other
campaigns the achievement of this
broader viewpoint would be great
advantage. Apparently less exact and
efficient, in reality it yields far better
results

WHERE CRACK CAME FROM.

Metals. just like people, are subject
to the wearing effects of time. And
they also have diseases that destroy
their vitality. \ combination Of both
is responsible for the great crack in
the famous Liberty bell which re-
Gently has shown a. tendency to
spread.
The bell was made in England by
one Thomas A. Lester and shipped
to Philadelphia in 1852. When tested
with Il hammer 1t cracked at the first
stroke. The metal was recast and 10
per cent of copper added. This addi-
ton did not have good effects, SEEM
ing to spoil the bells tone. So it was
remelted Il second time and tin nut in
with the copper to restore the sound.
Although details are somewhat hazy,
1t is certain that facilities in the COLI
onies for handling such a quantity of
metal were not very good. The bell
weighs about 1000 pounds and it is
estimated that 20 to 25 of the largest
crucibles then in America We're re-
quired for the purpose.
At all events the bell was finally
cast a third time and accepted. But
it did not cool evenly and was i'm
mediately subjected to shrinkage
strains. These strains had about the
same effect as if a piece of cloth were
gripped In a persons two hands and
torn down the middle. This pressure
ultimately caused the big crack which
is such a familiar characteristic of
the bell. and which now promises to
become even larger.
Another point against the bell was
the triple MEETINGS. Metal loses some
thing of it's vitality every time that 1t
goes through the crucble. Nothing
that undergoes the making over
process is quite as good as before, and
the Liberty bell bad been made and
remade three times before it pealed
forth the message of freedom

UP TO keRENskY.

1t might almost be said that the fate
Of Russia lies on the shoulders of the
| young leader, kerensky. There are
| some who would go bit farther and
| say that in his hands is the fate of the
worlds democracy. since il he fails to
| make Russia a fighting power the war
will continue months and perhaps
years. and a peace might be reached
that would enable Germany to still
hold its place as the dominant power
of Europe.
This frail young man who emerged
from the darkness which broke into
the dawn OF a revolution stands strong
in the glare of the worlds spotlight.
We know that he is gifted with great
qualities Of leadership. but whether he
viii be able to pull Russia together
and make it 4 crushing force is not
some weeks.
1t is impossible to summarize the
conditions in Russia since all these are
not known. There is the Finnish re-
volt which is a new development, and
nobody knows how far German spies
and German money have gone to de-
velop unrest in the army. The one
certain thing is that the supporters of
the present provisional government
in pG1r n
have given him absolute authority.
The test is in his ability to hold the
army. We have thus the rather
strange spectacle of 4 radical So
cialist appearing in the light OF die
tator while fighting the cause of lib
erty and democracy.
kerensky will not be another Ma
poleon in the sense that he will aspire
to hold his power by military rule after
the war. He would be rather a Crom-
well whose leadership would lay the
foundation of a great WELL grounded
democracy.
The concern of America in the for
tunes Of kerensky is very great. The
collapse of Russia would mean that the
burden OF winning the war would rest
heavily on this country. Germany in
that event would no longer be in dan
ger of starvation. and it would be nee
essary to beat her to the ground with
armed force. That would take time
and make it necessary for the United
States to send not one million but sew
eral millions soldiers to Europe to con-
tend with their allies by their side for
the supremacy of liberty and democ-
racy. Besides the gathering of these
armies, there are two other serious
problems. the one of transporting them
safely and the other of feeding them.
The fate of kerensky will be watched
with anxious eyes from every quarter
OF the inhabited globe. We will soon
know whether he is equal to his stu
pendous task.
