New President Is
Tobacco Devotee

Washington-When Senator War
rem G. Harding moves into the
White House next March he will
bring with him his pipe, the first
presidential pipe since 1901.
IF the moral reformers who seek
to add another amendment prohibit
ing tobacco are looking to the next
President for SUPPORT they prob
ably won't get it, for Senator Hard
ing is a devotee of Lady Nicotine.
He is not an inverate smoker, but
he likes to puff upon a pipe while
he is working in his study. He also
smokes cigarettes occasionally, and
chews when he feels like it.
Not since President Mckinley has
there been a smoker in the White
House. Mr.. Mckinley was fond of
his pipe. President Roosevelt, who
succeeded him in 1901, did not
smoke while he was President.
Neither did President Taft. AS for
President Wilson-horrors!

Bryan in Tune
With Harding

With his plan for an association
of nations assuming more definite
form, President elect Harding took
into his confidence last week three
conspicuous Democrats, William j.
Bryan, James w. Gerard and James
A. Reed, and asked their advice and
their aid in fashioning program
behind which the nations can unite.
All three came as invited guests
of Mr.. Harding, and their consulta-
tions with him were surrounded
with an air of warm cordiality. Af-
terward Mr.. Bryan, taking the lead
in expressing qualification at the
days developments, declared his
faith in Mr.. Harding as an honest
and conscientious public servant
whom the whole public world trust.
The former secretary Of state also
announced that he had found him
self in agreement with Mr.. Harding
on fundamentals" and added that
he took a hopeful view Of the con-
ferences to evolve a plan for world
peace. 't lg "a ~Ala flf'.
Mr.. Gerard, former American am
bassador to Germany, and during
the last campaign actively con-
nected with the Democratic National
Committee, Joined with Mr.. Bryan in
expressing satisfaction at the scope
of the association of nations con-
ferences.
Mr.. Reed reserved Judgment on
the outline of an association laid be-
fore him by Mr.. Harding, but de-
clared he was delighted that one so
irreconcilably opposed to the Yer
sailles covenant and to foreign en-
tanglements generally should have
been invited to Mr.. Harding's coun-
Gil table.

Final distribution Of all liquor in
the United States was suggested at
a meeting Of the House Ways and
Means Committee by Chairman
Fordney last week.
Mr.. Fordney asked Prohibition
commissioner Kramer If he did not
think "that the cheapest way out for
the taxpayer is to throw open these
stocks Of liquor and let the topers
have one good long drunk"
Mr.. Kramer said Christmas was
coming on and that the subject had
been broached to him, but that he
had been unable to find any way to
do it.
Difficulties of prohibition en-
forcement under the present wide
distribution Of stored liquors were
laid before the committee by Com
missioner Kramer, who appealed for
1egislation designed to concentrate
The stocks in few government con-
trolled warehouses.
Mr.. Kramer said there were ap-
proximately 4OiOOO,OOO gallons of
liquor scattered over the country,
and that it was "1eaking away at
an alarming rate" He declared that
If the Withdrawals from the bonded
warehouses except for legitimate
purposes could be effectually stop
ped the supply would last "for prob
ably fifteen years." but that at the
present rate Of withdrawal these
stocks might not last longer than
two years.
He added his belief that the bu-
reau was "holding its own," in COM
batting any growth Of illicit distill-
ing.

A man might have honesty, health,
initiative, knowledge Of business,
tact, sincerity, industry and open
mindedness, but without enthusiasm
he is but a statue. Enthusiasm is
the whitehead that fuses all of these
qualities into effective mass. En-
thusiasm-what is it, 1t is difficult
to define and far easier to illustrate.
You can take sapphire and piece
of plain blue glass and rub the plain
blue glass until it has a surface as
smooth as the sapphire, but when
you put the two together and COM
pare them you find the sapphire has
a thousand little lights glittering out
of it that you cannot get out of the
blue glass if you rub and polish it
for a thousand years.
What these scintillations are to
the sapphire, enthusiasm is to the
man. ''

Say 1t With A Picture

What is there in a picture7 What
advantage does well illustrated
advertisement possess over one of
type alone?
The power of picture lies in the
universality of its appeal. 1t at
tracts old and young; illustrate and
erudiate, civilized and savage. 1t
knows no barrier of race or tongue.
It requires but the medium Of sight.
A square inch of pointed illustra-
ton adopted to the subject in hand
is worth more than yard of copy.
With the proper illustration the ad-
vertiser can put his message over in
fraction of a second while type
advertisement requires seconds, yes,
minutes to read and digest.
Which type of advertisement
makes the greatest impression? Let
us take as an example two adver-
tisements; opposite in every respect,
now appearing in all the larger ma
tional publications, the Hupmobile
and Kelly Springfield Tires ads. Can
you recall the gist of the former ad-
vertisement which is an entire type
adj 1t is doubtful. On the other
hand, there is little doubt but that
the message conveyed by the illus
trated advertisement of the latter
stands out vividly in your mind.
Every time you see a colored chef
in white cap you associate him with
a certain cereal. Every time you see
of Quaker, another cereal comes
to mind.
There are so many advertisements
appearing in periodicals nowadays,
one cannot be expected to read them
ALL In order for your appeal to
strike home, you must not only at
tract attention to your message, but
in the same instant have your mes
sage sink home.
The power of the picture is the
swift power Of INSTALLATION over
the slow rounds of reasoning.
The written word requires to pass
through seven psychological proc
esses before it becomes our very
own. The picture is a soul posses
sion at single glance.
One rapid sweep of the eye en-
braces the entire subject. We laugh
or weep; thrill or become downcast
in the twinkling of an eye as we look
upon a picture. It's treatment
sweeps the heartstrings with unseen
fingers. Not so the written word.
A picture is warm and intimate
words are cold and distant. Figures
appeal; type leaves us indifferent. A
few illustrations can make book
let or catalogue. 1t never pays to
save on illustrating in order to hold
down the cost of any publicity mat
ter being put before the public eye
describing goods for which a pur-
chaser is sought. Next to seeing the
actual goods an illustration of them
is the best substitute. Illustrate
your point and your prospect grasps
it,
Moral-Use the Advocates illus
trated advertising service lit will
pay you.
