Plans Outlined at Meeting Last Night for Forming Organi-

tails the conversations savored somewhat of salt.
 SKYLINE OF THE AZORES
 There were those present who remem- bered the high piled, cloud-shrouded sky line of the Azores, the white villages on the green slopes, the great racing break
 CTS that shot in to the cliffs, smashed and sent their smoke-like spray 50 feet high.
 They talked of passing Belle Isle creep ing in, on dancing destroyers that guard ed the teeming transports, nosing their | way to the mouth of the Loire and up to St. Nazaire.
 They talked of the roadstead off Brest, the doomed oil tankers anchored 100 miles off the French coast, where thirsty crus- CTS drank their fill of fuel
 They talked of the procession of squalls that march across the Atlantic with the
 trade winds, the heave and the lift and surge of the cruisers that labored and wallowed.
 Organize and talk gob stun? Hell, yes!
 ANOTHER MEETING SCHEDULED
 The nucleus of the association of ex- gohs of Birmingham and the surrounding district was formed. About two weeks hence the tailors vii hold another meet ing for formal foregathering, crystalizing into a permanent organization, elccting officers, adopting bylaws and the rest of the necessary things to get going so the
 organization can shove off on it's first cruise
 Members present say there are about 150 discharged sailors in the district, com missioned officers and enlisted men and the organization is going to be hum mer. There will be no rank within it's folds.
 One of the proposed rulings of the com ing club is that no ex-sailor is eligible
 for membership unless he is a member
 of the American Legion, the new associa-
 tion being entirely subsidiary to the great association throughout the country of all ex-service men.
 The names of most of the gobs in the district have been secured and shortly | they will receive letter asking them to join the new organization, but should one l fail to get this letter, he is earnestly | urged to send in his name to Morton 1 Simpson, care of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, for none will be overlooked if it
 can be avoided.
 The sole idea of the new association is to have place and company where gobs can gather and talk gob stuff. Other outfits have their clubs and organiza- tions, but there the talk is all camp life,

POWER OF PUBTTCTTY

Since the close of the there has been great
increase in newspaper Advertising This costly pub
icy must have rendered service which any ambitious
person to develop his business says the La
fayette Journal
The first service which newspaper publicity
comes through the power Of suggestion If you sug-
ges 10 people the advantages doing some desirable
thing they likely it than if you do not
mention it,
Take the case OF monographs The people are con
stantly being reminded in newspapers and magazines
of the advantages of monographs. They are shown
pictures of dances home circles social gatherings
where monographs bring happiness merriment You
see pictures OF singers whose reproduced by
monographs and all that. It people want pho
Inographs Probably times as many phonograp hs
have been sold if they were never advertised
People read in their newspapers about bargains
in shoes That makes them their shoes are
getting worn and they ones They therefore
buy shoes instead something that was not sug
geusted to them. SO it goes in every line
1t may be objected that this power Of suggestion
is too strong for the good of tine community that
they don't need and ought not to have. But even If
so no business afford to neglect this basic
fact of human nature. Unless he uses this power Of
suggestion to promote the of his useful articles
great deal of the peoples money likely TO be drawn
