Questioned on finance. the mayor
repeatedly said he could not be ex-
pected to be conversant with details
of the city's various debts and funds.
He said only experts in the control
ler's Office could answer the questions
put to him yesterday by the commit
tees counsel.
At the opening of the hearing Mr..
Brown apologized to the committee
for using the term blood money" yes
terday in reference to what the city
paid for loans to meet it's pressing
temporary debts in 1914.
while I had no thought that the
action of the syndicate of New York
banks which floated the loan was an
improper one, it would look SO in
print" he said.
He said that the banks had patriot
ically served and saved the city by
charging a lower rate for the loan
than private borrowers could procure.
The mayor, in the questioning that
! followed, declined to give any definite
answers to questions concerning the
huge debts of the city and it's tre-
mendous expenditures.
Il think so," was his usual reply.
Il presume the figures are correct"
he said, when told that the debt had
increased $53.000,000.

SPEAKS ON ADVERTISING,
Miss Mock Says Shakespeare Was
ssExpert. -

Shakespeare as an advertising ex-
pert. whose methods might be en-
ployed today. was described Monday
night by Miss Byrd Mock. speaking at
the Playhouse, 1914 N street northwest.
He understood the principles OF
good advertisement writing better
than the greatest advertisement
writers of today" said Miss Mock.
She also pointed out that expressions
such as 1T made a hit" and How
the world wags," etc. are proof of
Shakespeare's advertising, as the
public still uses them. Shakespeare
was said to have given to the world
the greatest example of the psy-
chology of advertising when Mark
Antony outsoldl Brutus in selling his
politics to the people.
1t was Miss Mock's opinion that If
modern advertising reflected Shake
speare's example it would be more ef-
ficient. Above all, she said, let ad-
vertisers follow a course of brevity.
