Safe Where She Is.

Joseph Hanover assistant city at
torney, representing the juvenile court,
proved to Judge Guthrie that legal
warrant had been issued for the arrest
OF the girl and that she was being de-
tanned pending her trial
Mr.. Webb said that the case against
his client had been continued but with
the understanding that the girl would
be placed In an academy, The court,
he said, had broken faith and instead
had held her behind bars at the deten-
tion home,
Justice Guthrie In summing up held
that the girl was not Illegally restrained
and that the case was stlll before the
juvenile court, and therefore dismissed
the writ
He told the mother OF the girl that
no harm would come from the juvenile
court holding her for a few days or
until the case against her assailants
had been concluded, and also advised
the mother Of the girl not to press the
trial OF her daughter before the juvenile
court until after the case against her
assailants had been completed, saying
that the charges that would he pro-
sented against her and her daughter in
the Juvenile court probably would preju-
dice the case against her assailants who

BANKS SHOWN
WEAKNESS IN
USEOF PUBLICITY

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 23.-The
value of the newspaper as an adver-
Using medium not only to the local
merchant, but to the manufacturer
covering a broader field, is being
stressed at the sessions of the News
paper Department of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World, in
convention here.
Emphasis has several times been
given through citing specific cases,
10 the fact that the newspaper is
especially useful to the general aG-
xertser, because it not only reaches
the consuming public with the mes
sage of the advertiser, but it also
goes to the merchant through whom
the advertising manufacturer seeks
TO sell his goods. Local merchants,
IT has ben shown, are especially in
terested in a product that is adver-
4lsed in the newspapers which they
use regularly, because they have
found from experience that advertis-
ing in the newspapers will sell the
goods for them, and they naturally
believe that such advertising, done
by the manufacturer, will be espe-
ciallv helpful
Enr ouraging Thrift in Canada.
The special sessions for the study

d. McEachern, of London, Canada, /.
showed that bank advertising was in

III Is in the United States. There .
has been a wide movement in the
Dominion for the opening of savings
departments Of banks, he said, as a
means for encouraging habits of
thrift established during the war.
He continued:

On their part of an energetic follow
mp IN order that the educative effect
of these campaign might be conserv-
ed and broadened.
Savings deposits in Canada totalled
in Jaiy last over $1,170,00O,0O0. In
jay, 1914, the total was but S67I,-
0n9 600, an increase of over rs per
cent having been recorded during the

showed that Investigations had di-
vulged the fact that a great many
banks have large percentage of
Improbable accounts without know

ing, the speaker urged the necessity
for the adoption of a definite adver-
Using policy by bank, and more
consistent advertising. He contin-
ued:
"The publicity poIicies-if there
are such-should be thoroughly ex-
planned. Too many banks have pub
licity policies which, like circus
ticket, are good for one day only.
Every bank should have a publicity
policy good enough to reduce to
writing and to last a long time,
There couldn't be better test for a
publicity policy than to challenge
its strength by reducing it to the cold
logic Of written words. Some of the
publicity programs being carried on
today by banks wouldn't show up
very well if subjected to this treat
ment, although the treatment would
