CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING

One of the most interesting sec
tions of a newspaper is the classified
advertising. If one wants to know
what the home folks are doing and
how they are living, much can be
learned from these little notices.
A paper like The News-M messenger,
which presents in each issue a large
number of classified ads, thereby
proves that it comes close to the daily
life of the people. 1t is evident that
the newspaper goes very universally
into the homes, and is thoughtfully
read and studied.
These columns could be used to pro-
mote an amazing amount OF useful ex-
changes. Probably every family in
this place has articles of furniture It
would like to get rid of, but which
would have considerable value to
someone. And about every family
would like to buy little more furni-
ture, but thu majority may not feel
that they can now afford to buy much
new stuff.
Now if the families that would like
to sell would use little ad in the
For Sales, they get rid of their discard
ed stuff and realize quite a little mon
ey on it. Then they could go to the
furniture dealers, and get some fine
new piece on which they have set their
hearts.
There are always people who would

"A Red Cross photographer at an OUT
ing given to some Of the American
wounded In London was looking a.
round for pictures which would inter-
est the folks at home, when he saw a
good looking Yank wearing the rib
bons of several decorations on the
breast of his blue flannel hospital suit,

lean hero still smiles" and he set out
to track down his man, who had just
disappeared in crowd of merrymak-
ers.
After a search the camera man was
successful. "Have my picture taken !?
Why, surem said the soldier. and he
|obligingly posed for several photo
graphs.
Now tell me what your decorations
are, said the camera man, "I don't
recognize them"
"Oh, those" said the boy, with an
odd little laugh. 81 just bought those
at candy store!'
The photographer laughed as heart
lily as anyone, saying later, as he pro-
duced the pictures. well,

But the next day the photographer
showed the picture to military man.

Hawkes. of Columbia, "still be poor

Examinations in the required stu
dies are usually difficult, yet many
boy of poor promise passes them tri-
umphantly. The proposal now seems
to be to examine the entering students
common sense. Examinations have
never yet weeded out stupidity or the
parrot mind, but the psychic test"
may help to stop stupidity from con-
tinuing the useless quest.
The brightest minds sometimes pass
the poorest examinations. In all col
leges this fact is well known. Tho
mas B. Reed was at the foot of his
class at Bowdoin College, but he was
one of the brainiest men who ever is
sued from it's portals. Yet he slipp-
ed through by one of the highest
squeezes ever known at Brunswick.
Would psychic test" have disclosed
his powers of mind?

is HE WORTH AN EDUCATION?

The proposal has been made in an
Eastern college that the examining
board go over freshman material with
still finer toothed comb. The sug
gestion is that, in addition to the re-
gular examinations, psychic test"
be used to discover whether applicants
for the higher education are suitable
material. A youth may have fine
control of Cesar, Cicero, and the first
book of Virgil's great epic, he may
be well up in his mathematics, and
he may have grip on a certain bud
get of facts, yet the question will re-
main as to whether he is worth grind
ing through the three or four of col
lege course.

If any Hun protests this it is clear
indication that he fails to realize his
defeat and that the Allies have made
a mistake in not laying waste Ger

What Germany needs, and what
the Allies must give her in lieu of a
resumption of the war-and the next
time without quarters a thorough
education in the crimes of her war
makers, diplomatic and military, and
of the power and determination of the
Allies to enforce justice so far as it
is compatible with the future exis-
tence of the German nation on terms
short of actual penal servitude.

like to live in some other section of the
town, or have some different kind of a
house. They fear they could not sell or
rent their property advantageously. A
little ad in the right column would
quickly enough bring inquiries for
their own property, another little one
would bring them offers of he kind
of thing they want.
And so one could go on indefinitely
showing how these ads reach into the
most intimate corners of daily life.
Almost any human want, if purchase
able for money or within the reach of
ambition can be satisfied by this
means. Marshall Messenger.

House Committee
Urges Passage of
Mail Tunnel Bill
Tube Between Pennsylvania
and Grand Central Sta
tons Expected to Save

Ne1o York Tribune
Hnsht7,0fOn Buren,i

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.IThe House
Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads to-day reported favorably the
bin to provide mail tunnel between
the Grand Central and Pennsylvania
terminal post Offices, introduced by
Representative Oliver, of New York.
The measure carries an appropria-
tion of S1500,000 for tlnnel construc-
ton and Inc committee report states
that "estimates prepared bv Messrs.
Stillwell and Putnam, as well as pro
posals received from responsible con
tractors, show the tunnel can be con
structcd from station TO station for
abeut that amount A half dozen DIFF
ferant routes may be selected the com
mittee report states.
The proposed mail tunnel is an
immediate necessity" the report CON
tinues. IN order that the great and
ever increasing volume of the mails
which passes on the surface Of the
streets, over an open gap where no
rail connections exist, may be handled
eXpeditousiy and economically.
If the tunnel be desirable the
sooner it is 5egun the better The
work viii afford employment to re
turning soldiers. The contractors who
are just finishing the passenger sub
ways have their outfits available and
therefore can bid lower than after
their outfits are disposed Of
Three different electric systems
were explained to the sub committee. so
competition is assured: 90 The cleo
trio carrier system, which was selected
by the German government for use in
Hamburg before the war; 90 The Mil
holland system, which operatedia dem
onstration plant at Chem sford, Eng
land; 90 Tie system designed by the
American Pneumatic Service Company.
which had a demonstration plant near
Boston.
The subcommittee does not wish
TO express a preference as to the par
ticular system to. be selected. further
than to say that it should be able to
ascend steep grades in order 10 go
over and under existing subways and it
should be simple and have great car
ryiAg capacity.
According 70 statements made to the
committee the annual cost Of op-
Grating the tunnel will be about $37 900
less than the cost by existing methods

English Say Price Cuts
Unsettle Textile Trade
Exporter Declares Cuban Or
ders Are Withdrawn From
This Market

A South American buyer of cotton
goods, who has Just arrived in this
country from Manch ester, the grcat
English cotton mill centre, declared
that he could not understand the pes
somistic spirit displayed by American
textile interests. He asserted that the
Manchester mills up to ten DAYS ago
had not cut prices to any great extent
because they were confident that goods
the world over are in scant supply
They take the position that it is best
to wait for business to assert itself
and that reductions IN prices only I'M
dermlnc confidence IN The stability of
conditions. In commenting on the stu
alton. here and abroad instanced. this
buyer pointed out chat the American
quotation for 36-inch bleached goods
was II cents yard, whereas Manches-
ter cloth OF similar texture but only
20 inches wide was quoted ten days
ago at ~ pence, or 10 cents a ward.
In another quarter il was stated that
adVices from Havana indicated that
while prices for British cotton goods
for export had been reduced a little
from the peak point of last year, the
concessions We're not by any means so
drastic as those made on American
goods. In commenting on the attitude
of American sellers Of cotton goods, the
head of one large export house stated
yesterday that the Cuban market had
started to place some business in the
United States, but Withdrew when they
found that Americans we're competing
so keenly al reduced prices for orders.
