Coming up to "V'' beach on our
third trip to the Dardanelles, the
weather was as nasty as any l have
ever seen. The rain was sweeping
along in sheets-great big drops, and
driven by the wind in regular volleys.
You could see the wind coming, by the
line of white against q swell where
the drops hit.
As we rounded the point, the seas
got chopper, and there were cross
currents bucking the ship from every
angle, it seemed. You could not see
two hundred yards away, the rain
was so thick, and the combers were
breaking over our bows three a min

had the Sounding line going until it's

] was on the starboard bow at the
time and had turned to watch some
garbies pOking at the scuppers to
drain the water off the deck. But the
scUppers had been plugged and they
were having a hard time of it. The
officer on the bridge, in oilsE4ns, was
walking up and down, wiping off the
business end of his telescope and try
ing to dodge the rain. All Of the gar
bies but one left the scuppers on the
starboard side and started across
decks to port. The other chap kept
on fooling around the scuppers. Then
saw big wave coming for us, Just
off the starboard bow and l grabbed
hold of stanchion and took deep
breath and held on. When my head
showed above water again the other
end of the wave was just passing over
the place where the garbies had been,
and the officer was shouting, Gun

the man really was overheard, because
he saw that the wave would get him.
/ rushed back to the port bow and
looked back, for the wave had carried
him clear across the decks, and saw
the poor lad In the water trying to
fend himself off from the ships side.
But it was no go, and the port pro-
peller blades just carved him into bits.
On our homeward voyage we re-
eeived word again by wireless that
there were zeppelins at sea. We did
not believe this and it proved to be
untrue. But there were other stories
and taller ones, told US by one of the
wireiess operators that some Of the

its attacks. Beginning with 1881. this
country has had Ave epidemics. the

THE SYMPTOMS.
Grippe, or influenza, as II is now
called, usually begins with O. chill, fol-
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling Of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from 100
to 10A. and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. The germs

SUGGESTS PREVENTION OF
CRUELTY TO MOTOR TRUCKS

We have societies for the proven
ton of cruelty to Old Dobbin and the
Old Gray Mare; but we have never
thought of society for the proven
ton of cruelty to motor trucks!
Well, that is just what is suggest
ed by Alfred F. Masury, Chief Engin-
eer of the International Motor Com
pany, manufacturer of Mack trucks.
"Just because a truck can't feel
is no reason why it should not be
handled with care" argued Mr.. Ma
sury with sympathetic fervor for
the much abused, misused motor
truck.
1.-The economy and efficiency of
machinery lies in the way it is han
died and treated. We need society
for the prevention of cruelty to our
modern iron horses which feed on
gasoline, just as we did for the old
consumers of hay and grain.
"Trucks need one kind of care in
hot weather and another kind in cold
weather.
"Straw hats are put on horses to
protect them from the excessive heat
of summer; but very often drivers
will forget to see that there is suf-
ficient water in the radiator and
enough oil in the oiling system to

"In winter horses are sheltered
from the cold in stables and given an
extra amount of bedding; but very
often truck will be allowed to stand

fully drained from the radiator.
eff the horse is neglected, the
animal suffers pain, and our humane
societies see to it that it is stopped.
But, if the truck is mistreated, It
feels no pain and no one gives it any
sympathy. The owner gets severe
pinch in his purse, and may hold up
his right hand and swear, Never
again But that is about as far as
it goes. Users in general go on year

eve need society to educate US
ers of motor trucks to their proper
care, winter and summer, and in all
kinds of weather. 1t will mean long
life for all trucks, greater efficiency
and economy, better service and
greater satisfaction in every way"
said Mr.. Masury as he hit his fist on
the table to clinch the argument.

This fact in advertising iswhat makes trade
mark, or nameplate or any other consistently
used symbol, by which thing becomes famil-
iarly known, worthwhile and of value.
Advertising is the "Go-G etter' of the business
world, the service that creates desire which
turns into demand 1t finds buyers in the
hidden places, and opens up avenues for the
distribution of merchandise that are unap-
proachable through any other source. 1t
locates and develops unreyealed markets, and
opens the wide trade fields that lead to growth
and ,vpansion.
1t is The pathway along which vision points
the way to success.
There are many ways in which to advertise.
News and farm papers and magazines, street
cars and billboardS, lighted signs and direct
mail letters are only a few ofthemany existing
forms of media Each general class of media
has uses for which it is best adapted. In each
general class there are certain definite media
that may be especially well-ftted by reason of
extent or character of circulation, or promi-
nence of location, for the setting forth of the
desired selling message.
The selection of the proper media is one Of the
most important points in connection with
successful advertising. Linkedwith the adver-
tisement itself, this choice Of media means
sympathetic INSTALLATION of selling message
to an appreciative audience, or it means a
futile effort to foist on uninterested people
something for which they do not care. And so
the necessity Of selecting the right media is
just as vital as the preparation of the adver-

The ideal arrangement, of course, is the

circulation to the kind of people one is trying
to reach.
And herein is the advantage that agency Serv-
ice gives.
Agency Service offers the experience of
trained men to perfect and direct the advertiS-
ing campaign. With facilities not available to
others, an agency determines the nature and
number Of media, it prepares the advertising
matter and displays it with due regard to the
essential points of commodity and of the class
of people addressed. An agency watches the
ebb and flow of trade and advises as to selling
features and selling places. It's the watchful
eye that is ever wake to the publicity interests
of its clients.
