NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING BEST.

Many national advertisers put enor-
nous sums of money into advertising
IT. magazines, meanwhile spending
much less I'm local newspapers
a study or that situation was re-
Gently made by the advertising man
ager OF the Ford Motor Company. He
found that in 81 cities of the United
States, the 149 newspapers had total
circulation of 15.OOO,00O In the same
cities a group OF the principal lead
ing magazines had but 100000 circu-
lation.
During recent years there has been
a largely increased tendency for ma
tional advertisers To use the local pa
pers. They are beginning to realize
that that II the only way to get at any
considerable section OF the people.
Local merchants could get lot or
help Oh the advertising problem by
putting it up to the statesmen who
come around to represent nationally
advertised goods. II retailers genera
ally would ask these statesmen to tell
their advertising manager that the
retailers want their goods advertised
in the home papers, great many adj
vertising managers would supply the
funds for this purpose. Many Of them
are doing it now. Let retailers gem
orally take that attitude and request
this form OF cooperation from the
corporations whose goods they are
handling and they can get a lot Of help
toward publicity.

A LAW THAT MADE GOOD.

The Maryland Compulsory Work
Bureau has rounded out It, first
year, and, according to the brief
statement OF results - given out by
Director Malone, 1T h. been going
some" What's the score? Director
Malone says that 1881 idlers have
been compelled I'd find work during
the year OH To accept work found dor
them. There were 1884 who regis
tered under compulsion and 985 who
answered the call only after writs
had been issued for them.
1t would add vastly to the interest
of the report of the Compulsory
Work Bureau if 1t could be shown
just what average efficiency the com
PEELED workers have measured up to.
The Maryland law has attracted
general attention The President has
approved it e. valuable I'D in the
realization of the war program Sew
eral other States have, since tn
Maryland law was enacted, passed "A
similar act and organized compul-
sorry work bureaus.
The compulsory work law has been
useful as war emergency factor,
but will 1t also be useful when peace
comes again? The compulsory work
scheme is based upon theory that
had been taking some root even be-
fore the war-the theory that no
human being should have either an
inherited or acquired right to lead
a life Of idleness, or, what il practi-
cally the same, life that renders no
useful service to the community at
large-BaltO. American

WAR FOR HUMANITY.

War, In a good cause, il mot the
greatest evil which nation can suf-
fer. War ID an ugly thing, but not
the ugliest OF things; the decayed
and degraded state Of moral and pa
triotic feeling which thinks nothing
worth war is worse. When a peo-
pie are used as mere human instru-
ments for firing cannon or thrusting
bayonets, in the service for the self
ish purposes of master, such war
degrades people. a war to protect
other human beings against tyranni-
cal injustice; war to give victory
to their own ideas Of right and good,
and which IL their own war, carried
or for 80 honest purpose by their
free choice, IL often the means OF
their regeneration. "A man who has
nothing which he il willing to fight
for, nothing which he cares more
about than he does about his personal
safety. is miserable creature, who
has no chance of being free, unless
made and kept so by the exertions OF
better men than himself. AS long as
justice and injustice have not ter
minated their ever-renewing fight for
Iascendency in the affairs or mankind
human beings must be willing, when
need il, to do battle for the one
against the other-John Stuart Mill
This was written a half century and
more ago, but id might have been

There is something about the comedy
work of Ben Welch which puts him
in class by himself. II has been
long and close study which has en-
abled Welch to portray the Italian
type with such absolute fidelity. A
friend found him one day. sitting upon
huge pile of dirt and watching a
gang of Italians at work digging a
ditch. The friend watched him long
time, but Welch was so intent in
watching the Italians that he did not
see him. What are you doing, super
intending the job1" finally inquired
the friend. NO said Welch. 81 am

more realistic. Today's and tomor.
