MERC HANDISINC MUSINGS
BY E. g. R.

The pulling power" of an effective
window display clearly showing goods
that were previously moving SLOWLY
was proven by a large New York de-
partment store the other day, when II
sold scads of sponges as the result OF
the silent appeal of the display.
In a full page announcement in the
daily papers, the store in question ad-
vertised toilet goods In general and
sponges In particular, and with this
properly linked up its windows. Re-
suits? Well, the display in the store
required IA extra counters and a re-
inforced sales force of so people had
their hands full in taking care of the
customers as early as 1880 the morn

The window was crammed full o,
sponges, some in their original form
when first picked, and others in theii
finished form. A divers suit was
placed in the center with a picture
showing how the sponges are secured
Starfish were also displayed.
The buyer for the department says
the sale was going better than he i1at

The experience of this store simply
goes to prove the soundness of the ad :

that successful advertising must be

approach.

San Francisco, March 2s.-Some-

it's the California Lberator, jour-
nal Of the "drys."
1t declares that scientific tests
show that the raisin and near-beer
recipe, bruited as possessed Of a
mule-like kick, is q false alarm.
So seriously was the recipe
taken. says the Liberator. that a
Fresno brewing concern had chemi-

which raisins had been dropped.
The tests showed that the mixture

Reconstruction is more difficult and
dangerous than either construction or
destruction" Abraham Lincoln still
speaks to us in this message ringing
down through the ages, and it Is largely
because we are facing this task that we
still emphasize the business of making
characters strong enough to stand firm
amid all the new isms that are pouring
into our shores. God give us men! "A
time like this demands great hearts,
strong minds, true faith and willing
hands,"
This message came to us as we heard
q cradle roll superintendent telling of
the ways the men and women, boys
and girls are being reached through
this department of the Sunday school,
that it is a bugle to call the church to
arms, a compass to locate strangers
and friends Of the church, an alarm to
awaken parents to their responsibility,
and we discovered q short time ago
that it was also a magnet to draw folks
back to Idaho, for one cradle roll is so
we'll cared for that the parents felt
Idaho was better than Montana.
The school of methods still holds the
interest of those interested in better
methods. Only one meeting more, on
Monday, March 81. If you want to
know how to hold the young people liz
the Sunday school visit Mrs. c. E. Rob-
erts' class. A social survey of the city

We have some work for you to do. Do
you know what kind of amusements arc

front ranks.
Have you read Margaret Slattery's

Hitchcock said he believed a year
would be sufficient notice preceding a
withdrawal Of any nation, SO long as
the nation was not a party to q con-
troversy before the league.
It was Hitchcock's contention that

majority ruled in the body of dele

ellis decisions must be unanimous,

league opponents that three Euro

Hitchcock declared there was nothing
to worry about in the Japanese atti-

Eleventh hour amendments to an

amendments to meet adverse criticism

make the constitution more o patch

SUGGESTED REVISION.
Hitchcock said he had written Pres
ident Wilson, Marcn 4, just prior to the
presidents departure for France, say
ing he believed tho senate would adopt
the league covenant whether amended
or not, but suggested that few amend
ments would facilitate it's ratification.
Among those l mentioned were a
reservation to each uation Of it's exclu-
sive control over domestic subjects, a
specific provision that each nation
might withdraw from membership on
reasonable notice. n definite statement
that acceptance VI the burden of a

Hitchcock does not agree with the
proposal of former President Taft to

tor believes that withdrawal should be
allowed on nominal notice.
