ADVERTISING
 COMMENT By J. w. Andrews

Some short time ago the writer re- members having read these Words' "Advertising is factor that pro- duces impressions and crystalllzes opinions"-a most truthful state ment regarding modern advertising.
 However, the point l wish empha- sized is the fact that advertising IS also a factor that efficiently packs up and supplements your salesmens efforts, or the efforts of your clerks.
 This point, I think, has been very we'll covered by MT. William C. Free man of Paul Block, Inc, in charge of promotional and statistical depart ments. in a recent address to the Mems Apparel Club of Pennsylvania; who said in part:
 "Organizations of salesmen repre- senting particular industry are mighty fine things for business, but Something far ,beyond organization is necessary to back up salesmen Tn their work, and that thing is adver- tising.
 "You know that the time has ar rived when the manufacturers must advertise to hold his own among those won nave CIle VlSloll QHu oiAS stamina to advertise. You know that the public now respects and has con- fidence in the article that the manu- facturere is proud enough of to label with his own name. "They want to be sure of the souareness of the local merchant and also of the integrity of the manufac- turere which cannot be demonstrated in any other way except through ad- vertising. Advertising is now accepted as the hall mar kof character in its ap- plication to merchandise, to manu- featuring and to retailing. It gives the kind of character backing to salesmen which they require on the road. It is mighty hard to sell some thing that is an unknown quantity. And, in the opinion of the writer, this applies equally as well to your retail clerks, to the goods which you advertise-see to it that your adver- tising is truthful, is continuous is eff ficiently prepared and you will back up the efforts of your retail clerks in marked degree.

MISPLACED AID.

If the prohibitionists who are eager to force their doctrines on Europe spend the $3,0O0,OO0 yearly which they say is necessary for the campaign on food and clothinv for these same peoples they will accom- plish far more for their physical and moral we'll being than they will by depriving them of alcoholic drink.
 If certain people of the United States desire that the world outlaw intoxicants, it is all we'll and good. They can devote their efforts and spend their money to that end.
 But prohibition is the least of Europe's troubles now. In Belgium, in parts of France, in Germany and in the near East thousands are still i'll fed and i'll clothed.
 Until the stricken people of Flu rope are again well-fed, well-clothed and employed, any money spent other than for food and clothing and poli- tical and economic readjustment is misplaced.
 It is useless to hand hungry. half naked European booklet on the evil o& alcohol when he has not eaten a naan-sized meal in many months.

Court Fines Show
 Increase at Capital

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-The court receipts show a decided upward ten dency in Little Rock, which is we'll, as the city needs the money. For a time, during the last administration, the receipts got as low as $483 for one month. That meant one of two things-that the people had become very good, or that the laws were not being rigidly enforced by the courts. And those who have, made anything like careful observation of condi- tions are convinced that there has not been an excess of righteousness. Under the present administration, with a new judge on the bench, the receipts from police court fines have advanced to an average of $5,OOO q month, ten times what it was.
 A very large per cent of the penal ties comes from fines assessed against speeders and other violators of the traffic laws. There are more cases of bootlegging than there are of drunkenness, and disturbing the peace cases are not nearly so numer- ous, now that liquor is so difficult u get.

This little aid to beauty is such necessary toilet requisite for. removing facial blem- ishes, freckles, tan, sunburn, clearing dark, sallow, muddy complexions, that package should be kept on ev- cry woman's dressing table.

WE'VE HAD WAR ENOUGH.

Armed intervention in Mexico, says Assistant Secretary of State Frank l.. Polk, is the alternative of the United States in the Mexican muddie.
 In other words unless the United States is able to obtain redress for past wrongs and proper guarantees of respect for American lives and American-owned interests in the fu- ture, the United States will enter Mexico with an army and attempt the enormous task of it's subjugation.
 We have just emerged from war in which Americans fought on foreign soil. For many years the people of the United States will be forced to pay the cost of this under taking. 1t was necessary and we must pay the price.
 Are we to undertake another ven ture, for which we have no reason approaching that which impelled us to enter the war against Germany? :? If we do, we may expect our already enormous taxes to be doubled, a great sacrifice of human lives and all the disturbing events that go with such venture.
 It is. possible that the new Euro pean situation growing out of the oppression by the Rumanians of prostrate Hungary may call for ef- forts on the part of this nation. We already are neck deep in Russia and we still have troops on the Rhine.
 Our statesmen would do well to think long time before they urge the American people to attempt costly ventures which are not neces- sary for our protection and can only benefit those American interests which, seeking great returns, braved the dangers of foreign lands.
 Our border should be patrolled and Americans on the American side should be protected in lives and ir property, but for those interests which have gone into the interior o1 Mexico in a search of fortune, the great mass of Americans who have remained behind will be hardly will ing to offer the lives of their sons and the contents of their purses.

Novelist Demands Honor as Inventor
 of Smoke Screens

London, Aug. 11.-Charles Hannah, novelist and playwright, has demand ed knighthood and pension from the government for himself and his wife on the ground that he suggested to the British Admiralty the advisability of using smoke boxes or smoke screens which were extensively used for the protection of British naval and merchant vessels during the latter part of the war.
 He claims that he proposed this plan to Winston Churchill and the Admiralty on February 6, 1915, on condition that he was to receive knighthood and a pension. MT. Han- nan says the Admiralty informed him it was not prepared to adopt his pro- posals.
 Six months later, says MT. Hannah he joined the Admiralty and for the first time discovered that expert. ments on the line suggested by him had been secretly conducted in the Mediterranean.
 Mr. Hannah asserts that the first recorded use of smoke boxes in naval warfare occurred in the battle of Jut- land, May 31, 1916.
 For nearly two years Ma. Hanna has been writing to the Premier Lloyd George and Sir Eric Geddes formerly First Lord of the Admiralty claiming his reward. Failing he has made his claims public through Lon don newspapers.

One of the greatest men the world has ever seen passed in the death of Andrew Carnegie.
 Carnegie was one of the few men left to be of the age of American pioneering. Beginning as poor, uneducated youth he applied himself vigorously to any work he under took; he daringly grasped those opportunities which then were open ing up this country; he gambled on them and won, and in winning benefit ted the world and made himself rich.
 There is mot today an opportunity in this country for a man to build as Carnegie built. Probably no present day American will amass a fortune in way similar to the way Carnegie chose.
 But the cardinal principles that governed his life are as good now as they ever were. We have just as much need now for initiative, for hard work, for foresight as we had when Carnegie was boy. An dthe man who follows in his footsteps and gives Carnegie's quail ties to the methods he applies in grappling with the new problems cannot help but succeed.
 Carnegie's life should be an in- spiration to any man. He gave much to charity and much to education, but he gave more than that to the world
 He gave a shining example; he beat down a path which any man who has brains, courage and foresight can | follow to success.

Mexico City Social
 Life is Reviving

Mexico City, Aug. 1.-The end of the war has brought revival in this city's social life which, through out the war, reflected the serious mood that prevailed in the capitals of so many other governments. The various foreign colonies which con tribute mueh to society here have resumed a schedule of balls, recep- tions and banquets which for three years had been neglected for more serious war work. To show that the victims of the war have not been for gotten an allied masquerade ball is to be given soon for the benefit of the Belgian orphans. This promises to be one of the gala events of the social season.

Labor Divided on Matter of U. $. or
 Canadian Control

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Aug. 11.-A conflict is in progress here between union labor men over the question whether the American Federation of Labor, the Dominion Labor Congress or One Big Union shall control labor organizations in Winnipeg. The struggle is the outcome of the gen. eral strike which took place here in May and June, involving labor and capital throughout the Dominion.
 A short time ago the Winnipeg Trades and Labor Council voted to join One Big Union by vote said to be 8,481 to 705.
 As a result of this action, the Do- minion Labor Congress cancelled the charter of the Winnipeg Trades and Labor Council and announced that an effort would be made to form a new council in Winnipeg to include the local organizations opposed to the One Big Union plan. Among the organizations which rejected this idea of having One Big Union were the railroad brotherhoods and the American Federation of Labor. Some Canadian newspapers as- oSAV CHac tiiO oPiiG III kllc ldDOT TdHkS was precipitated by the alien ele- ment and say that the One Big Union organized at Calgary demanded that the government release all political prisoners" interned during the war. Federal ministers have charged that a heavy percentage of the One Big Union membership was composed of aliens.
 Ernest Robinson, secretary of the Winnipeg Trades and Labor Council, has announced that the One Big Union will immediately supply char ters to the local unions to take the place of those revoked by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. Winnipeg labor leaders supporting the One Big Union have promised to support the movement to organize similar unions in every city in the Dominion.

Three Girls Admit Being Members of
 Gang of Crooks

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 11.-With the arrest of three girls for forgery here, police say they have unearthed clever shoplifting and forgery gang which has been operating in St. Paul and Minneapolis for several years.
 All three girls are said by the po lice to have confessed to being shop filters and of forging checks on St. Paul department stores Monday.
 Lillian Bates, alias Phyllis Dean, IS years old, Minneapolis, was the first member of the clever trio to be taken into custody.
 She was arrested at the Emporium department store, where she attempt ed to pass $20 check. Previously the Bates girl and two others had passed alleged bogus checks on the Kahn's fashion store of Ramon Bros. department store. An attempt to cash a check at Schuneman & Evans store failed.
 The Bates girl told the police that she met two other girls who enticed her into forging checks as an easy way to make money.
 Investigation, however, by E. N. Ewing, head of the Ewing National Detective bureau, who handled the case brought out the fact that the girl was from Minneapolis and that she was member of gang of pro fessional shoplifters which has been operating in Minneapolis several years, police say.
 Ewing, with the cooperation of St.. Paul and Minneapolis police placed under arrest Selma Iddington, Min neapolis, and Lyles Portlens, Min neapolis, as the other two members of the shoplifting gang. The latter two escaped when the Bates girl was arrested in the Emporium store. All three girls, Ewing said, con- fessed at the county pail, and admit. ted they had been in the shoplifting game for about two years. They told him where large quantity of stolen goods could be found, it was said. Police recovered several articles of jewelry, jewelry case, number of dresses, a neck scarf and several Iother articles of women's wearing apparel.
 When arrested the girls were we'll dressed. The Iddington girl gave her age as 15 years and the Portlens girl as IT years. io
