WANTS HUMAN TOUCH
in ADVERTISING COPY

Value of human interest as a
result-getter in advertising copy"
was the subject of an interesting ad-
dress delivered by II. r. Whitcraft,
of the Clark Whitcraft Agency. at
the semi-monthly luncheon meeting
of the Washington Advertising Club
yesterday at Harveys.
Mr.. Whitcraft. who is a specialist
in retail advertising. told many in
stances of big results to the adver-
tiser from application of the human
interest appeal in advertising. He
gave illustrations by displaying
model advertisements prepared in
campaigns conducted by his own
firm.
One illustration was a photograph
of a group of boys shooting craps"
in the street. used in a furniture adj
vertising campaign. The street
scene was accompanied by a caption,
Keep your boys off the streets by
making the home attractive"
Mr.. Whitcraft strongly emphasized
this direct appeal to the things that
interest every human being as be-
ing more effective in the long run
than any plan which limits itself to
price presentation.
E. c. Rogers, Harry Hahn and
Edgar d. Shaw spoke briefly on the
importance of inducing every men,
Der of the club to take an active
part in it's work.

MORE HERE PAY
INCOME TAXES
Bonuses May Boost Wash
ington Returns Nearly
To 100000.

With approximately 5000 boosted
into the ranks of income-tax-payers
by war bonuses and other forms OF
extra compensation within the last
six months. Harry NJ. Fridley. deputy
collector of Internal revenue in charge
of the Washington branch of the dis
trict. which includes Maryland and
the District of Columbia, estimates
that nearly 100000 washingtonians
will file returns this year. In 1918
there were only 5000.
March Is is the last day for filing
the returns. Failure to file by then
will incur heavy penalty. The pres
ent tax returns are based on the in
come received during the calendar
ycar i.1S.
Every person who filed a return
last year will receive a blank frCm
the Baltimore office" said Fridley
last night. but IL for any reason he
fails to receive a blank one may be
obtained at the Washington office"
Pay early and avoid the rush is
Fridley's advice to taxpayers. He
cites the fact that thousands paid
fines last year as the result of re-
ceiving misinformation- He called
attention to the removal of the local

Every person whose income for the
last year equaled or exceeded 1900.
or 5000. according to his status, must
file a return. The law makes no ex-
ceptions. the penalty for failure being
q fine of not more than 1900.
Whether or not a person is the
''head of a family and entitled to a
5000 exemption is a question to be
determined largely by circumstances
surrounding the case.
