HELPLESS IN STORM
Severe Windstorm Plays Havoc With
Shipping In New York Harbor.
Much Damage.

New York, Aug. IA windstorm
accompanied by rain swept over New
York city with cyclonic force this
evening, tearing branches from trees,
whipping signs from posts and draw
Ing q foreign battleship anchored in
city waters upon nearby rocks.
As the gale tore down the island
from north TO south, ripped small
boats from their anchorage, broke
windows, smashed roofs and did
other small damage.
It's anchor torn from mooring,
battleship drifted helplessly before
the wind in spite OF its crew, who
could do nothing. There was no
steam up and the vessel was at the
mercy of the wind. II crashed on
abutting rocks which denied its side,
but tore no hole. Tugs later pulled
the ship off the rocks and secured 1t
at new moorings.

How to Advertise.
On the topic. How to Advertise, "
j. Barreto spoke entertainingly. He
appealed to the merchants TO bear
with delays and not eliminate from
their stocks such brands because they
could not always supply them on de-
mand of the customer. He advised his
hearers to deliver the goods in adver-
Using. One OF the greatest draw
backs TO the progress of advertising,
he said, was Misrepresentation.
Germany did a poor piece of adj
vertising when it announced that II
would be in Paris last Christmas, and
did not deliver the goods. Then they
advertised recently that they would
reach the channel ports. but again did
not deliver the goods" he said. ''and
so we look with great doubt on their
kind of publicity"
The speaker pointed out that news.
papers today are more read than ever
before. Fiction pales beside the
! facts. Nothing that has ever beer
written compares with the stories OF
heroism OF our boys and those Of other
belligerents.
And SO the papers are read with 4
more intense interest and regularity
than ever before and the advertising /:
carried with them"
