ARMY RECRUITING
SERVICE TO GIVE
PAPERS PUBLICITY

The following is from the army re-
cruiting service and will be eagerly
welcomed by every paper in the
country:
Memorandum: For all editors.
Subject: Our QUESTIONABLE, Feb.
p, 1920.
Reference: Your answer
1. For a very good reason this is
sent along as real news although not
for publication.
2. Thanks for your prompt re-
sponse and your interest. Replies to
our QUESTIONABLE show an almost
unanimous verdict that the paper
waste is appalling. Based on slightly
less than 1000 replies from papers
ranging in circulation from the $780,
900 city daily to the 800 week fellow
in the rural districts, the composite
answer is:
How much free publicity are you
receiving in the daily mails-all
sources? Boxes, barrels, carloads.
How much of it are you using?
One-half of 1 per cent by volume.
How much of it is put up in news
paper shape SO as to require no edit
ing or rewriting? 2.75 per cent by
weight.
How much of it has new value?
Now and then we find a raisin in it.
Remarks if anv): There should be
another Volstead act for the suppress
sion of near and unpaid publicity.
G-r-r-r-! Likewise d-n. Waste is
criminal. Some of the most palnable
offenders are movies, presidential
candidates. financial institutions, re-
lief organizations paying high sal
aries to supposed space grafters.
Hearty congratulations on your good
sense in cutting out some of it.
3. And so, with these few remarks,
and after turning in our dark lantern,
our gum goloshes, oar false face and
our skeleton KEYS, we renounce men,
bership in the Space Grabbers' Union
and will endeavor to lead an honest,
straightforward life hereafter.
Penitently yours,
j. T. CONRAD,
Chief, Recruiting Publicity.

London told congregation at South

the moment advocating prohibition for
this country but he could not help
looking with somewhat envious eyes
on the present condition of things in
America. In view of present public
opinion it would be mistake, in his
opinion. at this moment to aim at a
similar measure in this country, but
at least they could aim high.
"Just think what London would be-"
he added, "if we could get control
of the drink traffic; if we could make
drunken homes sober. 1t would have
an enormous effect upon the moral
question, because more than half the
immortality existing in London today
is due to intemperance."
