from an interview with Whitney
Payne, manager of the Philadelphia
office of the Curtis Publishing Com
pany's advertising department-the
company that prints the Ladies
Home Journal, The Saturday Eve
ming Post and The Country Gentle
man; company whose advertising
business for the present year totals
S23,0OO,O O,O00-probably the biggest
national advertising business in the
United States:
Business in America will never be
normal" again.
Today, as never before, the saliva.
tion of business is advertising.
America, after the war, will be
like a high school graduate who has
been living in his little rut, and who
suddenly has been given millions Of
dollars, wide travel, and contact with
university man. The things that
pleased him before must give way to
the new.
Civic advertising and business
house advertising in New Orleans,
local as well as national, alone can
tell America the wonderful message
that New Orleans is keeping almost
to herself.
Sell New Orleans. Get behind
your amazing commercial progress
with a broad gauge, civic and indus
trial advertising campaign. For you
have the stuff here to sell. New Or
leans has delivered the goods"
Ask hundred men in Chicago, for
instance, what New Orleans meals
to them. You'll hear "Gin Fizz at
Ramos" You'll hear "Mardi Gras."
You'll hear of that 'little dinner at
Antoine's." You'll hear "Sazerac
coctail." You'll hear about that sec.
ton of the city the federal vice
cleanup has put out of business But
will you hear of the wonderful dock,
wharves and Public Belt? Of the
amazing Industrial Canal? Of the
Foundation Company's marvellous
shipyard? Of the great business
houses? Of the Latin American busi-
ness? Of the simply wonderful COM
mercial growth? Hardly a charfte,
New Orleans has grown a century
in the past ten years. Sell New Or
leans through broad-visioned adver-
tising-and the city will grow an.
other century in the next five years.
Advertising-civic and industrial
and mmercial-nationa and local
will do more than sell what New
Orleans has to SELL 1t will improve
what New Orleans already has. Moth
ing in the world reveals any weak
points in business or a community
like the great white light that beats
on the nationally and locally adver-
tised business or city. And when you
learn defects these days you remedy
them.
Advertising gives you the gauge

~ ONCRETE. SHIPS may solve
I the Allied tonnage problem.
~ Naval architects and marine
engineers scofed at the very
idea when it was first mentioned as
one way of foiling the Kaiser sub
marines. Despite this scof1ng. one
San Francisco concern has had the
courage to begin the construction of
5.000-ton dead weight) ferro-
concrete ship.
Out there in the West under the
shadows of Mount Tamalpais. this
great hull of sand, gravel cement and
steel rods is beginning to take form,
and some of the scofers are wonder
ing if they are not mistaken after all.
If this big ferro-concrete ship is
launched and proves seaworthy the
tonnage question will come mighty
near being solved.
This sort Of ship can be built with
ordinary unskilled labor Practically
none of the materials or skilled labor
used in building steel or wooden ships
are required. Shipyards are not re-
CURED. either In fact. in the language
of the poolroom, concrete ships will
be velvet from the standpoint of
material, labor and existing shipyards
The San Francisco ship Of stone
will not be the first of its kind by any
means. The first vessel constructed
of ferro-concrete was built in $40 by
M. Lombot, in France This was
quite small The next was a Dutch
sloop. the De Zeemeuv. built in Hol-
land in 1887, and she is still in ex
cellent condition.
A number of serious efforts to build
concrete ships have been made under
the direction Of the Italian navy. and
some of these boats are doing service
now in the harbor Of Spezia German
builders also have constructed some
small ferro-concrete ships. mostly for
river freighting.
The best effort of all, however, was
made in Norway, where shipbuilders
named Fougner. at Moss, Norway
have constructed about twenty yes
sells. One Of these, capable Of carry
ing 200 tons, has actually navigated in
the North Sea. The Fougners, Incl
dentally, are now in New York and
prepared to construct ships Of $500
tons dead weight.
One of the big advantages Of the
ferro-concrete ships is that they can be
completed in about half the time nee
essary for steel or wooden ships.

CORN WILL WIN
WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
Ing 3,O0OOOO,oOO bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials Of the
United States food administration be
lieve
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize
1t contains all The elements needed to
keep the body in state of health ana
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when com
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days AT a
time. and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing To transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly To market this year than
ever before Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millcrS and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than In former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American coloniSts from famine on
many occasions, just as it served rs a
staple food during the War of the Rev
olutiOn and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocr&ty.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds Of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour To make ICaycncd bread. This
kind Of a mixture is worked and baked
I'm the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat sa ed i'm America means pound
Of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
ated in the war.
There are II score Of corn products
that today possess unusual importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use In the kitchen instead of
graduated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils,
Is appearing on the market In large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ of
the corn.

MADE.IN.GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada Is also having trouble with
Made-in-Gcrmany lies calculated 10
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cOrdlng TO an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
trOller by the United States food adj
ministratiOn.
The stories bOthering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced I'm this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
bluelng famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen ID
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers
Stories without even vestige OF
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come To life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts Of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit Ivy bit they dlssipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
1T lies with every individual TO for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing OF the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate In work which Is going
to mean more than the majority Of
people yet realize"
