Two years or ago of the most experienced dra-

demise of the movie.
They told that it had its that 1t had but

many houses charge 35 cents

The Need of the Hour

II was in recent of Babsons Reports that Roger
W. Bahson OF the foremost statcans and economists
In this country said: ~
'sThe need of the hour is not more legislation The
need Of the hour religion More religion IS needed
evervwhere from the halls of congress Mt Washington TO
the factories mines fields and forests
'srake the labor situation The solving OF the labor
situation is wholly question of religion. The wage
worker will never be satisfied with higher wages and
shorter hours. any than you and are satisfied
with profits and bigger house. Things never did
satisfy anyone and WILL satisfaction ana content
nent are matters of religion d.
.When both employer and wage worker honestly believe
that we are this world others, the labor
problem will be solved but not until then We employers
should learn give up and labor should wake up How
ever neither of will dc it except aetuated by
religious motives Both groups largely aetuated by
selfish motives az the present time.
s'The need OF the hour is religion.
Right Mr. Babson,
But seeking this greatly needed religion must be
KEEP. in mind that the need is not for the religion OF any
particular creed ISM not for religion that puts on
sanctimonious face with its Sunday clothes and tries to
get the best of everyone for the other six days IN the
week
We have had much of that kind of religion already,
and what and need is not talks and promises
shout religious matters but religion that Is demonstra-
be-the demonstration of which will really the put
ting in actual daily practice the teachings of the Golden
Rule and of Christs sermon on the mount

to multiply opportunities and increased
the spending size of our pennies is adyer-
tising.
Every merchant, every manufactures
knows that advertising materially re-
duces selling costs by increasing tbs
demand for and the distribution Of the
products Of hundreds of thousands OF
mills. Indeed many Of the things wa
count today as necessities or simple mx-
uries could not be made and sold at their
reasonable prices except as advertising
has created broad market for them,
making millions Of sales at little prices
and little profits.
And so you owe very much to adver~
Using. You owe much to this people Of
yesterday who have read and been in
flunced by past advertising and SO have
made possible the economics and varieties
and wide distribution of merchandise
that you enjoy.
You owe present advertising a thorough
reading. A greater familiarity with adj
vertising, with advertisers and adver
tised merchandise makes continually for
the increasing size Of your pennies
