LECTURER ADVISES
 NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

An interesting lecture on retail mer- chandising was given last night at the Woodmen Hall, when G. W. Sullenber- ger, expert lecturer of the National Cash Register Company, told of the causes for loss in retail business, and how they could be remedied. A large number of merchants and salespeople were present. Stereoptican slides and motion pictures were used throughout the lecture by Mr. Sullenberger to em phasize the various points.
 Inefficient business methods cause the great majority of losses" said MT. Sullenberger. He then cited figures to prove this fact, showing that last year l Il 300 merchants failed. "This means forty failures every business day; one every fifteen minutes"
 Particular emphasis was laid on the value of newspaper advertising to the retail merchant in the lecture. MT. Sullenberger said npart: "More peo- pie can be reached oftener and at less expense by newspaper than by any other medium. But don't spend a few dollars advertising, and then say ad- vertising doesn't pay. Make advertis. ing continuous policy of your store, and you will not be disappointed with the results. The proper method of preparing newspaper advertising was shown by MT. Sullenberger.
 Window display problems, efficiency |of clerks, store organization, selling methods, system in retail business, and delivery problems were also discussed In an interesting manner.
 The three reel motion picture film, Troubles of Merchant, and How to Stop Them, , which was shown in con. neetion with the lecture, was a big fea- ture of the evening. Expert actors from the Essanay Company portrayed the characters in the film. which was prepared by the National Cash Regis ter Company at an expenditure of S30.- 900. In vivid manner, the troubles of a merchant who conducted his store along out of date lines were shown. Although this particular merchant was slaVing along IA hours a dav.. vet he was on the verge of bankruptcy. with no prospect of ever succeeding. Yet. by eliminating his leaks and losses he rose to success in financial way.
 The chief character in the film was MT. White, merchant. His store was located i'll an old, unattractive buildino High windows prevented good dis play of merchandise. The sidewalk in front of the store was dirty. Conss quently many people passed his doors to buy elsewhere. His clerks were in- different. Poor business methods lost him what money he did take in. He seemed to be hopelessly in debt.
 But at this point a change came. He was induced to install modern bus mess methods. He cleaned up his store. lie kept constantly in touch with every detail of his business. And soon he became a prosperous merchant.
 The meeting closed with the singine of America" by the audience. The song was illustrated by stereoptican slides, portraying various historical e vents in the United States.

Famous Women
Madame do Popelinicre,

Madame de Popeliniere was the
daughter of an actress and was edu-
Gated for the stage. M. de Popeli-
Mere, an opulent f1nancier, attracted
by her beauty, made her his mistress.
Mile. Daucour, which was her maiden
name, brought her case to the atten-
ton OF the prime minister, to whom
she represented that she had been de-
ceived by her lover. The act Of
openly keeping a mistress was lux
ury as yet scarcely autho riEed among
the bourgoisie, vice being still consid-
cred tho privilege Of the mobiles. The
prime minister. Fleury, compelled NJ.
de Popellniere to marry the girl, on
pain Of withdrawing a profitable gov
ernment contract. The f1nancier COM
piled, but he never forgave his mis-
tress the means she had taken to se-
cure the rank OF his wife. Madame O
de Popeliniere soon became one OF
the most admired of women Of the
Partisan world. She entertained
poets, painters and all the great men
of her time at her home. Her sue
cess. however, was short-lived. She
engaged in an intrigue with the Duke
Of Richelieu, which her husband dis
covered. He drove her from his homo
despite the fact that he made her a
liberal allowance. She was at once
dropped by the society over which
she had ruled with so much grace.
She died shortly afterward.

Daily Horoscope

Newspaper Syndicate)
Jupiter rules strongly for good this
day, according to astrology, while
Uranus and Venus are in malefc as
pect.
This should be a favorable rule for
business enterprises for financial I'M
dertakings, for bankers and brokers.
Great expenditures Of public money
will continue, but the stars promise
a steady stream Of gold for national
uses.
There Is a planetary sway making
for the capitalization and concentra-
tion Of national ambitions and again
the rule OF opposites will work
strongly. What Is best and what Is
worst will develop.
During this coniguration men and
women should be cautious In their
relations with one another. Scandals
and unhappiness are indicated. Pub
lie men, army officers and university
professors should guard their actions.
Uranus Is in a place making for in
creased criticism Of public affairs and
the growth of political ambitions
among men and women not hitherto
prominent.
The sway making for political con-
tests also may cause unprincipled and
ambitious persons to make use of
philanthropic organizations for selfish
ends.
England seems to come under a
planetary direction that will cause
unusual world attention. Sensational
events are prognosticated.
Many persons will visit London on
errands of mercy, the seers declare,
and organizations for philanthropic
work will send many Representatives.
The drawing together of many ma
tions that will show the results of a
unifying influence after the war Is
indicated.
These days may be critical for
italy. The transits Of Saturn and
Uranus are inimical to internal af-
fairs.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is will
travel and change during the year.
They will meet with much success In
all probability.

Today We Celebrate
Wasp,s Disappearance at Sea.

The recent disappearance at sea Of
the United States Collier Cyclops
serves to recall that other mystery OF
the sea which has never been solved,
and which will always remain an un-
written chapter of naval history. the
vanishing of the United States sloop-
Qf-War Wasp l04 years ago. Just
Wasp received her baptism Of fire and
emerged victorious from her first
battle. A few months later the gal
liant vessel vanished from the face OF
the sea and was heard of no more.
1t was on May Day, 1914, that the
Wasp pvt out to sea on her first and
final cruise. In command was Capt.
Johnston Blakeley, Irish-born and
spelling for a fight He was then in
his thirty-third year. He had come
to America as q boy and entered
Uncle Sans navy at eighteen. with
the rank of midshipman. When the
second war broke out between the
United States and Great Britain he
was placed in command of the En-
terprise, and his ability and gallan-
try won for him the command of the
Wasp when that vessel was ready to
put to sea.
The Wasp, cheered on her way by
patriotic landsmen and seamen of
enemy's country. On a. June day 104
years ago the Wasp found herself in
the English channel. off the British
coast. On June 28th the British brig
Reindeer sought to teach the daring
invader a lesson. Calamity, as Brit
ish tars have ever fought, they en-
gagged the intruder, but 1t did not
take long to decide the issue, and the
Reindeer became the Wasp's first
prize. After a couple of months spent
in harrassing British shipping, the
Wasp became involved in another
battle, and captured another British
brig. the Avon. In October the Wasp
stopped and boarded the Swedish
brig Adams and took from her two
American sailors who were being TAX
en- to England from Brazil. That
was the last exploit of the Wasp.
Since that day she has never been
heard from.
An earlier Wasp of the American
navy was built at Washington in
1903, and commanded by Capt ia
cob Jones In October, 1912, she cap
tured the British brig Frolic, and was
