We told you about our new system of rates and why we arc compelled to install them and adhere strictly to them.
 The next question, therefore, that pops into your mind is: How do l know how much advertising l will need during the year. This, to the successful businessman. is one of the easiest questions answered. You know how much your gross business was last year, if you do not you can ask your bookeeper to inform you. You take this amount and appropriate a certain per cent of it for advertis- ing this year. Successful advertisers will tell you that this percentage should be never lower than two per cent and from that minimum as high as you want 10 go. The maximum for an established business seldom reaches to more than six per cent, and there are hundreds of successful retail firms in this United States that figure six per cent.
 When you have appropriated this money for advertising you then allot the amount to your mediums, so

 VANISHED
CBy Associated Press)


 CHICAGO Feb. 16.-The export trade of the meat packers-the larg- est single industry in American has practically ceased as result of the foreign trade situation. the Insti- tute of American Meat Packers an nounced in a bulletin today.
 During the last calendar year the exports of pork products alone cx- ceeded 2.500,000,000 pounds. Beef ex- ports ceased some time ago and dur ing the past month exports have practically stopped, the bulletin says.
 In a resume of the meat situation abroad it adds that England has seven months supply on hand. In Germany agents of American pack CTS are unable to sell stock already in the country because the German gov ernment is unable to provide accept able currency in payment.
 Sales in Holland have practically ceased; in France they have stopped entirely Italy has purchased no American meat for some time.
 Cutting off the export trade is re- flccted in substantial reduction in the wholesale price of meat but so far the reductions have not been noticeable in local retail markets. A year ago steers brought $20 at the Chicago yards, while last Saturday the same grades sold for $ll.5Q to S1250 per hundredweight
 Dressed beef prices ranged from $04 last week. an average of $17.86 a hundredweight A year ago the average price was $2091.

Aircraft p robe Brings Charges, of Ruthlessness
 With the Public Money
CBy Associated Fressi

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-Re-
 ports of the long continued investi-
 gation of the aircraft production pro-
 gram were presented today in the
 house from the special committee in-
 quiring into war expenditures.
 Representatives Frear and Magee, republicans on the subcommittee which conducted the investigation, characterized the aviation program in their report as a riot of waste" and Representative Lea, democrat. de- clared in his report that the republi- can members had sacrificed fact for sensationaiism in an effort to dis credit the government.
 \ prominent part of both reports is given to the controversy over the connection of John D. Ryan, former director of aircraft production, with the construction of a government built railroad which, it has been charged, redounded to the benefit of the Chicago. Milwauke and St. Paul road. of which Alr. Ryan IS a di- rector
 The majority report on that point says: If Mir. Ryan's statement of disinterestedness is true. he has been most unfortunate in handling a pub lie matter that in the judgment Of your committee covered a flimsy cf- fort to promote large private busi- ness interests and was accompanied by laundering explanations from be- ginning to end"
 In contrast, the minority report by Representative Lea says: "The evi- deuce shows that AIr. Ryan practi- cally abandoned his own business af- fairs and devoted himself unremit- tingly. to his official duties. Without charging it, the report of the majority insinuates that Ryan used his powers as head of aircraft to cause the selection of the Lake Pleas ant route for the benefit of the Mil waukee road. The purpose to con- struct a railroad from Lake Preasant with the Milwaukee was determined several weeks before Mir Ryan was connected with the aircraft service
 The majority report takes up the alleged waste and extravaganza in the carly aircraft appropriation, the alleged failure of the De Haviland planes the alleged failure to get sui hcien American planes to the battle front. the spruce production project in, the northwest, millions of alleged waste on cost-plus contracts and many specific charges of inefhciency and guaranteeing of millions of dollars.
 In turn. Representative Lea's mi nority report places to the majority findings as 'intemperate, biased and an eXaggeration of al legged mistakes and nisstatements,' a 'gratuitous reflection upon men who faithfully served the government dur ing the war" and repetition of de- famatory charges admittedly unsus- tained by evidence"
