Another Place to Help

New Mexico has done well in support
ing the Army Y. M. G. A. work in the
training camps. Now comes another activ.
ity equally worthy Of support-the work
done outside the army camps, in the com.
munities where they are located. 1t lie
as important to keep temptation out Of
The way and provide wholesome outlet for
energies and cravings in the outside en-
vironment as inside the camp itself. New
Mexico is again asked to help. In all
these branches of work for the welfare of
our soldiers and sailors, no patriotic citi-
zen will complain that he has already
done something for some other phase OF
the activities. Nothing that is asked can
be too much when the soldiers have given
their all--themselves.

Half a dozen travellers nom different

900 more passenger business than

War and Cool Weather
Keep Down Summer Travel

While the tourist travel to the
mountains of Colorado has been un-
usually light since the summer rates
became effective, June Is, railroad
passenger men say that the cause can
be attributed to the war and not to
the advance of the-rates over those of
former years.
Formerly the railroads have made a
summer tourist round trip rate OF
$3.50 from Omaha to Denver, Colo
rado Springs and Pueblo. This year
the rate is $40, with the usual return
limit, September, |.
Railroad men say that as the sum-
mer advances and the weather be-
comes warmer, Colorado travel will
pick up, but they hardly expect it to
reach the record of former years.

When New Problems Defy
Philadelphia Manufacturers

Week by week, as new prob
lens ar ise before you in your
business, you apply to their solu-
ton one or another of the forces
OF modern industrial progress.
Chemistry, law, finance, engi-
neering each is called to carry
it's share of the load.
And then, one day comes a
problem that dehes you. It may
have to do with the supply ofraw
material, with a gap in your ex-
ecutive force, with drop in pro-
duction, a sudden raid on your best
sales district.
All your well-tried expedients
fail. You meet the emergency
half prepared, and you come out
of it weaker than you went in.
Every business knows these
periods. Every Philadelphia man
ufacturer experiences them.
But you have NOT used every
resource to provide against them
until you have commanded that
other great modern force-adver-
tising g-and made it bear it's full
load.
