CHURCH PUBLICITY.

The great need of church publicity
: has been recognized SO strongly within
the last two or three yeasr that every
where pactors, as well as their organi-
zation officials, are planning to get
strongly into the advertising field. In
New York state more than 200 minis
ters are taking courses in advertising
publicity.
The Christian Advocate (Methodist)
is campaigning strongly for "the
printed word to fight the forces of ir-
religion and agnosticism." Says the
Christian Century (Disciple) "where
church advertising has actively been
taken up great cardinal principles of
religion have been made popular by
newspaper announcement in display
type" This same paper remarks
that there has been some failure in
newspaper church advertising because
preachers expected immemdiate re-
suits; expected. perhaps. that after the
first display ad or two the people
should flock to the churches. These
pastors diG not realize what big bust
ness everywhere thoroughly under
otoiuob w wiz Ilidt tHC COiL-
slant advertisement, frequently
changed in it's wording, is the. thing
that brings results.
Too many pastors think that it is
enough to insert tine card of their
church in the city or community paper.
That is better than nothing, but it
doesn't get far. The live church
changes the wording of its ad for ev-
cry Sunday, whether it is in the city
daily or the rural town weekly. In
changing the ad, the writer of it tries
to put in every week something inter-
estingly new, following the example |
of the business man who advertises.
Religion isn't new, but it can be told |
in a fresh, new way. And then, too,
there is often something that is ac-
tually new in that particular church's
life.
A small community church cannot,
perhaps, afford to take as much space
as the department store, but can take
conspicuous space, have it set
in display type and then, if the writer
Of the ad will SAY SOMETHING reg
ularly every week, he will get as con-
spicuous results by the end of year
as any business advertiser in his COM
munity.

the League was what our boys went

Mothers OF men who sat in that audi
ence felt that their loved ones knew as
little of that covenant and its contents
as we who were left behind. The spirit
with which our men were imbued was OF
pure patriotism and their hope to save
their mothers, wives and sisters from the
treatment given the women Of Belgium

Virginia would kill himself If the League
was not ratified" When the news
reached him Of it's defeat he went out
and lowered from its staff our flag
which he had kept aloft each day on the
ridge until shutdown. Attred in the

wrapped the flag about his body ana

TOWING PLANES SUGGESTED.
Uses Of Low Speed Aircraft Ex-
planned to Scientists.

CARDIFF. Wales. oct. Low speed
cargo airships for towing other aircraft
were suggested by Wing Commander 7.
Il. Cave Browne-Cave in an address be-
Tore the engineering section of the Con-
ference of the British Association for the
Advancement Of Science held here.
When no speed greater than thirty
five miles an hour is required and when
reasonably favorable weather can be
waited for, even small airships can be
used for transport over otherwise i'm
possible country. he stated
It has been demonstrated that airships
with a gus capacity ranging from 20. 900
to 2,i00, 900 cubic feet can transport at
slow speed from ora TO 4S1 tons when
used as airshlps with crew and ma
chinery. and from LIS TO So tons when
used as dumb vessels.
Such an airship service. the comman-
der said, would be Of inestimable value
In civil engineering such as the CON
structlou OF railways and in prospecting
for oils and minerals by transporting
material IL would be possible to land
one or two men N even a survey party
by means of sings from a strong wire
while the airship was practically sta
tiOuary.

Yon shining thread of stream through pleas

And wild gray covies of the marsh and lake.
Whose flight is set twixt eve and morning

w. Murray Crane.

| In the death of w. MURRAY CRANE
America has lost one Of her first and
most useful citizens. He was big
national figure. He could have been
bigger in the public eye il he had
wished to be, but that was not his
way. Only public man of peculiar
strength can afford to be as silent as
Mr.. CRANE was. The tradition that
in all of his forty years in politics he
never made speech is characteristic
Of him And in that time, it must be
remembered, he was In turn Lieuten-
ant Governor and Governor Of Massa-
chusetts and Senator in Congress
from that State.
Mr.. CRANE was political power
in the Republican party not only in
his own State but nationally Since
the death Of Senator QUAY Of Penn
sylvania, sixteen years ago, Mr.. CRANE
has had greater influence in the coun-
ellis OF his party than any other man.
In type and temperament he had
nothing in common with the typical
politician or even statesman-politi-
clan. He was modest, gentle, almost
shy, and Yet he was a very great
political leader. His leadership was
due to the soundness of his judgment,
TO his straightforward sincerity and
to his unimpeachable character. Men
believed MURRAY CRANE; men be-
lleved in MURRAY CRANE.
If at times in the last year Mr..
the feeling of his fellow Republicans
and n great many Democrats-in
opposition to Mr.. WILSON'S scheme of
international supergovernment, it was
because he. like some other honest
men, permitted his desire for some
thing that would end war TO cloud the
| fact that the Covenant would be more
likely to breed wars than to end wars.
Mr.. CRANES greatest value to his
party was as Il peacemaker and
harmOnzer He was a member of
! Tile DtpuDllCdu 4Nhtlohol COuiiuittcc
for twenty years and n delegate at
large to six national conventions.
Men liked him personally and sought
his opinion on questions of party
policy His tact WAS as great as his
conservatism In conventions, as in
the United states Senate, he could
accomplish more with hundred
words uttered in a low voice than
most men could attain with long,
loud speech.
Mr.. CRANES business career was
distinguished. The fact that he in
herited fortune had no effect on his
own ambitions OF Industry. he made
himself perhaps the greatest INDUS
trial and individual financial power
in New England. SO capable was he
that he might have been Secretary of
the Treasury under ROOSEVELT If he
had cared for a place in the Cabinet.
Az the Governor Of Massachusetts he
showed what a real business man
could do in politics. He treated the
State Government as If IL were a
business concern and eliminated waste
and the MASTERS.
America Is poorer by the passing

A woman would have a new hat
with every change of season, more
frequently if her purse would per-
init, with as radical departure as
possible in each from the shape, size
and style of its predecessor. Man
puts on a hard, brow cutting instru-
ment when the straw hat season
opens and wears it through to the day
when the bell rings for It's end. Then
he turns to felt or a derby of
model which the dealer assures him
is entirely different from any hat
ever before produced. Mere man
knows that is not true. The dealer
knows il also. for he is well aware
if the hat was so extreme in style 1t
would not have wide popular sale.
Men wear the headgear that other
men wear This season the manu-
facturer has put feather in the band
and announced the innovation as the
high sign of fashions edlct. Man
takes the feather from the hat. drops
it into the waste basket or losses it
to the house cat to play with, then
marches forth perfectly certain that
nine-tenths of the men he will see on
the street have disposed of their plu-
mage in the same manner.
The Clemenceau hat may possibly
have that great future for which 1t
is said TO be destined. 1t has one adj
vantage, it can be put into an overcoat
pocket This entails the payment
Of one tribute instead OF two to the
hat check pirate. But how much is a
bonnet of this model going to cost
1t is not so much hat of new
style that man wants now as good
fall hat at price that will still leave
him enough to pay rent, the grocery
bill and the last instalment of his
income tax.

Harding on Social Justice.

Senator HARDING's' speech Of Fri
day was n renewal in amplified form
of that plank in the Republican ma
tional platform which pledges the
party to an enlightened measure of
social and industrial justice" The
candidate has spoken the hopes of a
large portion Of his party and OF the
American people generally. These
hopes are not new. They were ex-
pressed in the Progressive platform
of 1912 and they did much to swell
The following of THEODORE ROOSEVELT
in that campaign.
Senator HANDLING took pains to
make il clear that the social justice
he has in mind is not paternalism.
He believes that bureaucracy of
social rules and regulations would
Cypress the soul of the country more
than even military bureaucracy. But
the social justice he is thinking of is
not mere sentiment. He wants some
thing "real and functioning, rather
than visionary and inefficient" He
offers no programme in detail, but he
believes that the creation of an ad-
ministraIye centre will result in do
ing away with the present confusion
and wasteful effort.
In that part Of his speech which
touched the particular needs Of Amer
lea in the way Of social welfare Sen
ator HANDING made promises which
affect the twelve million working
women of this country. He insists
that their working conditions must be
safe and their pay adequate. lie
thinks women should have rights
equal with men at the cashiers win
dow as we'll as at the ballot box, pro-
duction being equal. This is a bold
stand. 1t is not mere play for the
working woman's vote, for about half
the working women in whose interest
Senator HARDING pleads are not Of
voting age.
Once more the country has evidence
of the progressiveness Of the Republi-
I can candidate for President.

BoRAH is and always has been pro-

FOOD PRICES.
A New Yorker Finds the Charges Still
High In Hotels.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: Each
morning your paper announces reduc-
tions In the cost of living everywhere
but in New York city. So long as bread
costs II cents n loaf. sliced ham over
81 pound. eggs 81 cents a dozen, the
average New Yorker takes such state
ments with several grains of salt.
A baked potato costs me 30 cents
although you report that they sell at
80 cents a bushel.
Why doesn't the food control get after
the hotels in New York, where the only
limit is the sky In food charges?
Other cities seem to be forcing the
hotels to reduce their prices; why is
New York the last place to do anything
for its citizens?
One hotel has recently jumped its
prices to permanent guests so per cent,
and offers as an explanation that these
guests have had the benefit Of low
prices for years, so should be the first
to be raised
Why not investigate the trusts which
now control New York hotels?
