NOT A TIME TO STOP ADVERTISING

Is this the time to stop advertising !
Nv observation and belief are that the
reason for the existence of this ques-
ton is that we advertising men have
failed to sell advertising properly to
our executives, because the average
executive insists upon tying each
years expenditures to that same
years sales expenditures. If the sales
outlook is poor he wants to restrict
his advertising, if good he is willing
to increase it.
What we apparently have failed to
do is to sell the really greatest
power of advertising, and that is its
ability to stabilize and develop the
business advertised rather than the
particular commodity chosen for mer-
chandising.
If advertising is ephermeral, living
or dying with the daily, monthly or
yearly merchandising campaign, then
we should surely trim our. sails to
meet the current shifting breezes.
IT, on the other hand, advertising
is a process of market development
push on thru storm or calm, with or
against the wind or current until that
goal is reached.
The war has taught US that pre-
paredness is really the longest word
in the dictionary and also the strong
est. We cannot start preparing for
big business on the day peace is de-
clared, any better than we started
preparing for war on the day we
declared war. We did not like to
prepare for war because we did not
want war.
But this does not apply about pre-
pairing for business, because our
worst enemies never accused US Of
not wanting business.
Most emphatically / believe that
now is not the time to stop advertis
ing. On the contrary, it is the time

Cole Winner in Cuban
Championship Stock Car Race

Breaking all former records, a Cole
Aero Eight won the Cuban cham
pionship for stock cars of 30l to 400
cubic inches displacement at the
races held on the Oriental park track
at Havana on July s. The entries
included three Stutzes. one Buick,
three Cadillacs, Mercer, Lancia,
a Premier and Hispano-Suiza.
It was a 30-lap race. The Cole
covered this distance of so miles in ~
minutes and 5 seconds. This is con-
sidered especially good time for the
class Of track upon which the races
were held, it being dirt track used
ordinarily for horse racing.
Prior to these races the best time
ever made on any track OF this char
acter in Cuba was 81 seconds by Bob
Burman in his "Blitzen Benz in 1910.
The winner was Cole stock car IN
every respect, equipped with one oil
the new Aero-Eight motors.
It's driver, Ronald Markham, Is one
Of the mechanics employed by the
Cole dealer in Havana.
The cars were started in two lines
in front of the stand. More than
10000 people were there to see the
races for the trophy known as the
"copa Trufin," which is also accom-
panied by a cash award OF $4,000.

CONSERVATISM IN
DRIVING IS URGED
Miller Advises Use OF Low
Gears Under Certain Con-
ditions; Reserve Power
For Emergencies.

In answering a letter from amen
thusiastic owner, Harry Miller OF the
Keystone>Motors company, distriou-
tor for the Standard 49," wrote as
follows:
You ask us what's the use Of a
low gear on a Standard 49," It is
true that low gear is used very little
on a car of such power and tiexibllity,
but there are occasions when the use
of low gear will save your car even
though it is not absolutely necessary
to use it. For example, when a party
drove from Pittsburgh to New York
in II Standard "8s," not one shifted
a gear during the run, excepting Ill
coasting down the hills. This was
done to save the brake Innings, and
to leave the brakes in reserve for use
il necessary at a sharp turn in the
road, or any emergency that might
require quick stop, or greater con-
troll.
In starting a cold car, it is better
to go through the low gears. When
the engine is warmed up starting in
second is all right, but to start in
high and let the clutch in slowly,
brings unusual wear on the clutch.
1t is always safer to drive into
garage in one of tho lower gears, be-
cause just at that moment some other
car may be jockeying about and you
have better control III low gear.
In crowded traffic, slipping the
clutch constantly is easy driving but
hard on the clutch. Better go into
second and stay there.
These are the reasons for low gear
in the Standard "S.". As you say, it
is never necessary to change gear
but it is advisable"
The good driver has such regard
for a good car that he treats it with
care and never calls upon it to per-
form up to its capacity, except when
the occasion demands. U
This letter teaches conservatism in
driving. 1t is a temptation to many
drivers when they have car of great
power and fexibi1ity to cali upon
more power than is needed, just for
the satisfaction OF seeing it perform.

ST. Louis Packers Now Find
Motor Trucks Profitable

National Stock Yards, Ill, Aug. "a.
The use OF motor trucks to deliver
hogs purchased at these yards to
sIaughtering plants in St. Louis, Mo-,
has greatly increased recently as the
result OF shigher freight rates be-
tween the two cities. The distance
from the National stock yards to
these establishments varies from four
10 10 miles. Before the freight rates
were increased, most of the packers
preferred the slower trip by rail and
larger shrinkage to paying the higher
rates asked by truck owners. The
packers who have been using the
truck now declare that aside from the
truck rate being considerably cheaper
than the new rail rate, the decrease in
the loss and shrinkage is OF itself
enough to justly the use of the motor
trucks. One Of the smaller packers
stated that hogs purchased on the
morning market were delivered at his
plant by motor truck at II a. m. the
same day, and that If they had been
shipped by rail they would not have
reached him before p. m. of the fol-
lowing day. The motor car rates
vary with the distance Of the plants
from the stock yards, but in general
represent d saving of from Is to 50
per cent on the new rail rates.

The Unsuitable desire OF the stage

without noteworthy talent, does not
have a counterpart with the circus.
Unfortunately for these innumerable
recruits for the stage, youth and

ability OF a decided order. these girls
find themselves miserably aAoat in the
flotsam and jetsam of great cities.
Veterans OF the Hagenbeck-Wal-

declare they have never known OF a
corresponding instance amidst the lie
OF the white tops. There are about
1000 employees with the Hagenbeck-

As a matter of fact, the majority OF

atmosphere in which they live is as
refined and respectable as it would be
in the best-regulated home. Circus
folks are home-loving, family people
at heart and not at all like the mis-
guided public is prone to consider
them.
Many entire families, ranging from
grandparents to ,year-old children, chi
travel with the Hagenbeck- Wallace
circus and enjoy all the comforts and
privacy of home life. In some Of the
ring acts three generations Of family
are performing at the same time.
Most of the really great circus per.
formers of today are descendants OF
long line Of circus ancestors. and
their success in their chosen field is
largely due to the heritage of clean
living and clean thinking that has
been handed down from generation
to generation.

War Board Asks Manlfactur-

OF the United States have been in

which is authorized by the war in

NThe war industries board author
lies the following.
AT a meeting OF the war industries
board, before which appeared COM
mittee of Is leading automobile deal
ers from various parts OF the United
States, representing the National AT

stated: :,
1-While no order had been issued
by this board cancelling motor car
production and no definite order OF
eurtailment could be given until the
automobile manufacturers. had sub
mitted inventories OF present stock,
the board has already suggested to
automobile manufacturers that they
undertake to get war work even up
ID 100 per cent, il possible, by Janu-
arv | 1919. Automobile manufac-
turers have already accepted war or.
ders aggregating between $S0o,ooo,ooO
and $900,000,000.
War Work First.
2ZThe War Industries board real
izes the importance OF a continuation
of atl possible industrial activity, so

3-All automobile dealers, however
should put themselves as rapidly as
possibie on war basis, so as to be
ready for whatever curtailment be-
comes necessary.

the healthiest and the cleanest mind
ed young women ever assembled to.
gether. Many of the so-called girls"
are married women with young
daughters and sons, who are also with
the circus. There is little difference
between the girls of the circus and
the ordinary, healthy girls who live in
comfortable, refined homes, except
that the life Of the circus girl is in the
open, where she has better ,oppor,,
tunity to develop both physically and
mentally.
Life behind the red curtain which
separates the dressing rooms from
the rest of the circus is not unlike
that of big family in camp. Here the
women do their sewing. their laundry,
their reading and writing and the in
structing of their young children. No
body molests them. no profanity is
allowed to reach their ears, and the
