Why Are Comic Pictures
Necessary In Sunday
Newspapers?
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE.
Beeaase Youth Needs Laughter. Old a.
for Other RedsonJ

G. H. DENLY, one Of the able
men who run the Cleveland
News-Leader for. Mr.. Dan
Hanna, asks for "a short state
ment as to the psychology Of
Sunday comics; why people like
them. What is their function in
a newspaper?
1t is a question that many
have asked, and many an
swered, foolishly, thoughtlessly
and without information.
When you smile or laugh,
your brain for q moment Is
freed from the load that 1t ordi-
narily carries. The belt slips of
the wheel. Men thinking are
something like dogs walking on
their hind legs. They CAN do
it. But they like to stop every
little while.
Humor is good for children be-
cause 1t stimulates their minds,
accustoms them to sudden sur
prises.
Humor is rest for the adult,
it is good for him, because it
stops the thinking in the tired
part of the mind, transfers it
to another part. relieves the
nerves.
Humor consists usually in
SURPRISE. II you see two
actors on the stage pulling with
all their might and main on q
heavy rope, struggling, strain
ing and gradually pulling out
the rope, with a large iron safe
on the end, that would NOT be
funny.
But if they struggle and
strain and finally there appears
at the end of the rope q tiny
white dog, weighing a pound
and a half, that is funny. SUR
PRISE explains it.

Seeing New York and Knowing

Seal Adopts Rescuers.

PRINCE RUPERT. B. c., July Il.
"A baby seal, following it's rescue
from q vicious attack by four eagles,
adopted Its rescuers, Capt. j. Nc

BUFFALO. July 14.--Stealing ice
In weather like this is not. In the eye
of Judge C. II. Piper. an offense

They say laughter distin-
guishes men from animsls. II u
certain that earnest THOUGHT
distinguishes men from animals.
Also certain that 1t tires men,
and that the best, instantaneous
relief from firing thought Is
found In laughter.
First Of all, 1t interests chill
dren, impresses them and causes
them to ask for the particular
newspaper that has amused and
entranced them.
What the children ask for they
get, and the newspaper that
they like is the newspaper,
usually, that their mothers will
read. And ONE mother reading
q newspaper IL better for the
publisher than any TWO men
first because SHE Is BETTER;
second, because the mothers
spend the money, read adver-
tising carefully, because they
are economical, thus making the
advertising pay And making the
newspaper pay.
There is some just, and more
foolish, criticism Of comic news
paper pictures. Some criticize
newspaper comics because they
do not teach some high moral
lesson. That is not the PUR-
POSE of the comic artist. He
should strive, of course, to
make vice hideous and virtue
beautiful; everybody should try
to do that. But his actual job
is to make men, women and
children laugh, and IL he does
THAT, without offending good
taste, he is q good comic artist,
laugh and be fat" is an old
saying. One more important to
the tired nerves Of the high
strung American is laugh, and
let your mind rest while you
are laughing.

GERMAN INnIISTRY

new verse added to the Hymn of
Hate that the Germans sang in the
trenches, or maybe they, like the
rest of the world, are willing to let
bygoncs be bygoncs. At-any-ratc, the
Germans are undcrselling the Brit
ish III their own markets by German
made articles sometimes stamped
with the British make of wcllknown
firms. The Germans introduce these
goods thrue some other country.
But the point is, the Germans arc
underselling other nations and get
ting foreign trade. American rail
ways have ordered 10000 car wheels
from the Krupps Of Germany who
undcrbid their sixteen competitors
by fifty percent. The German taxes
arc lower than any European nation
and it must be that their wage scale
is lower or they could not compete
as they do with their conquerors. A.
matter of fact, the Germans SET
about work in earnest. They are moi
working on an eight hour basis. The,
arc working to recover as quckl,
from war as possible. Work is tn,
answer to commercial unrest. Bus
mess would settle down everywhere il
people were willing to work.

other chance TO build up n great wa
machine, but Germany is going t,
make other nations sit up and TAX
