Keeping Up With
The Times
A FACT A DAY

Some of The Times ad-
vertising men were dis
cussing a recent campaign
in The Times of a Wash
ington merchant whose
store is located in the resi-
dental northwest section, a
full two miles from the
downtown center.
One was skeptical wheth-
er enough trade coul1 be
drawn that distance to JUS
tify the advertising invest
ment and he said so to The
Times man who has that
account.
"On the contrary" was
the answer, mot only were
the results distinctly profit
able, both in direct rev.
enue and in new customers,
but some purchasers came
from as far away as Alex
andria."
Just another illustration
of the business-building
power OF good advertising.

Coal Commission Will Meet

The coal commission, appointed by
President Wilson to adjust the coal
controversy, will meet fright away" /"
despite the protests Of the operators.
This was learned at the White House
today. The exact time has not been
set for the first meeting.
Officials here today interpreted
the action Of the operators as IN "at-

wished . definite assurance of what
the commission would do.
Owners In Conference.
The final action Of the commission
will have the stamp of Government

It was learned at the White House.
The operators went into conference

Net Consulted, They Say.
A statement has been issued BY the
operators indorsing DR.. Garheld's set
Element plan, but there Is very serious
objection to the plan put forth by the
President because 1t proposes to give
to the commission of three arbitrary
power to TX wages and prices and

they have never been consulted on

Fourteen
Christmas
Opportunities

The Fourteen Opportunities are
closed.
Edward 3. Mclean, editor-presidert
Of the Washington Post, has sent a
check for $1,000, with the statement
that if that amount is not sufficient
to close them he will send the amount
needed. Mr. McLean's check left the
opportunities only 500 short, and it
is believed that the money received
today will more than make up that
amount, and Mr. Mclean will not be
called upon to contribute more
money.
In letter to Col. Archibald Hop
llins. chairman of the board Of man
ayers of the Associated Charities, Nj
Mclean said:
II learn from the announcements in
the newspapers that the fund for the
Fourteen Christmas Opportunities
of the Associated Charities still lacks
the necessary amount. These oppor-
tunities appeal to me strongly, for
the reason that they have all been
investigated by the Associated Chari-
ties and are recognized by your or
ganization as especially worthy and
urgent.
1T therefore gives me great plea
