Dry Post for Trenton

The prohibition commissioners of

Brown, of SwedesbOro, New Jersey
dry chief, recommended the transfer
while on a visit to the national head
quarters, 1t vas admitted by Assistant
Prohibition Commissioner Jones. Mr..
Brown called at the office and urged
that the headquarters of the prohibit

ferred from Newark to trenton on
the ground that TentOn is nearer the
center of the state" He gave addi-
tional grounds hat Trenton Is the
state capital the headquarters of the
state officials with whom he has need
occasionally for cooperation, and that
the attorney general for the state is
located there. He said he did not
wish the change made simply because
it was nearer his home.
Il asked Director Brown to put his
case carefully in writing, assuring
him his recommendation would be
given consideration continued Mr.
Jones. Il reminded him hat the
directors office could not be put on
wheels to be moved about to meet the
desire or convenience of every incom.

stated to him that he must show that
actual advantages are to be gained by
the transfer, such as cheaper office

Lewis T. Bryant. state commissioner
of labor, has just issued an appeal for
cooperation TO factory owners n
others.
The appeal cites ms a preliminary
that since the great contiagration in
Chicago. October Q. 1871, the loss OF
life and property by fire in the United
States has mounted annually until 1t
reached an annual average for the
ten-vear period ending 1919 of $780,
100000 in property and $4,000 lives.
During 1920 the loss amounted to
S5OO.OOO.OOO and 10000 lives. Statistics
show that from 10 to 50 per cent of
this loss is due to pure carelessnesS.
This life and property loss is a shame
and disgrace to this nation. Efforts
by federal, state and municipal au-
thorities are being directed to check
this needless waste
To the factory owners, Mr.. Bryant
says in part:
This communication is addressed to
YOU to direct your special attention at
this time to the necessity and i'm
portance Of assuring yourself that you
do not harbor unnecessary fire haZ-
ards: that those hazards that can not
be eliminated entirely are properly
safeguarded that your fire alarm
system is tested and inspected that

so forth are thoroughly Inspected n

are orderly, quick and effective.
SHOULD you desire to hold a fire
prevention meeting "t your factory
the department Of labor will be
pleased to cooperate with you.
IF you have designated a factory
chief, whose appointment has been APP
proved by this department, l suggest
that YOU furnish him with the in
formation contained herein and direct
him to carry out tile recOmmenda-
tons.
The department of labor has for
several years urged featuring Fire
Prevention Day. October 8, on all
calendars and desk pads. If you use
either of these mediums In your ad-
vertising we would appreciate 1t very
much if when placing your next order

to the fire department the condition
Of fire escapes; fire eltinguishers, fire
dools, hose an3 alarms, and how long
II takes to get the children out Of the
school building in fire drills. They ac-
lively assist In fighting forest fires ull-

Lay Foundations Sure.

Life is the product of its own think
ing. Ethical standards INDUCED con-
tribute to outer conduct more than the
average man thinks. You may be able
to put on a brazen face toward the
public while you revel In low-dowu
stuff within and get away with II for
years. But the canker is forever
working from within and will eat its
way out sooner or later It's too late
then to cuss the fates and bemoan your
lot. It's in the plastic days Of impress
sionable youth that suggestion forms
those basic foundations that determine
what the nature of the superstructnw
will be. Once these are laid the best
you can do will be to make the most
of a marred future. BY dint Of mentat
strength you may be able to change
the fates, but you will forever struggle
with the handicap of your low ethical
ideals.-Grlt.

the best possible investment that he

These were the three words he used {.
Telling Is selling"
That comes pretty near reducing the
statement Of what advertising is to the
fewest possible words and stating 1t
In the simplest possible way.
TO a greater or less degree every
human being Is an advertiser.
The man or woman who dresses well
advertises prosperity.
The man or woman who uses the
proper words in the proper places and
shows a broad acquaintance with facts
advertlses education.
The man with the light step, quick
movement unceasing activity, adver-
tises energy, probably ambition.

way Of stating that you are an accu-
rate reader of the personal advertising

Observation-Disclosures ourselves--by our
actions, by our habits. by our CONVEX
sation. Everyday we unknowingly
succeed in or fail in selling our

If telling is selling 1t is equally
true that "Overtelling is underselling."
Nobody ever permanently gained

TELLING IS SELLING

TN THESE days Of time saving de-
i vices, money-saving inventions and
eifort-savlng ideas the thinking man
finds much to interest him when he
hears another thinking man compress
big thought into the fewest possible
words.
The literary man has a name for
these examples of condensed wisdom.
He calls them "epigrams.'
"Epigram" Is an interesting word.
You can spend useful fifteen min
utcs studying out in some good die
tionary just what It meant In the
original Greek and how It came to
have an entirely different meaning
In English.
One of the most condensed and
meanlngful phrases have ever seen
written or heard spoken was used by
great editorial writer who boiled
down q whole sermon into three words
when he said Repetition Is 'reputa-
tim.' That Is sound, unassallable.

She says that she expects TO have
folks slipping in the kitchen for bite
to eat as has been the custom In the
Washington home of the Hardngs.
Inez declares that Mr. Harding likes
TO hang around the kitchen, and often
slips orr in the back yard to play ball
with the boys in the alley.
