Stated in the simplest terms,

vertising
More Moneys Worth for You
More Money for Merchants.
1t has been proved over and
over again that extensive adver-
tising of meritorious merehan-
disc reduces the cost and raises
the quality.
The very business life Of an
advertising manufacturer de-
pends upon elevating the stand
ard OF the product while he
keeps the price at the lowest
possible point consistent with
fair profit to the retailer.
Nobody expects a dealer to do
the impossible--to maintain an
establishment and sell goods
without making a reasonable
profit. Neither does anybody
want to pay more for goods than
they are worth. And on this
point advertising affords the ut
most in purchaser protection.
Advertising lowers the cost of
goods by increasing the volume Of
production.
1t multiplies sales and thus
makes more money for the mer-
chant and manufacturer-more
moneys worth for the consum-
er.
It is self-eyident, therefore,
that advertised goods are natu-
really representative OF maxi
mum values. 1t would be folly
TO advertise an overpriced arti-
Gle, for the simple reason that

Self destruction among children has
reached an alarming situation in this coun-
try. In 1919 there were AIT children who
ended their lives in the United States. In
1920 the number increased to 707 boys 223
and girls 4S4. The average age of the boys
was 15, the girls IT, Boys most frequently
use pistol girls resort to poison. About
200 of these children obtained poison in some
way, and $50 had recourse to a revolver
What a pity that parents permit either of
these deadly, agents to, be so easily obtained
in their hontes! Doubtless the many both
old and young who have shot themselves
during the last year did so because of the
fact that many soldiers have brought back
their guns from the and have left them
where they can be easily found.
This league strongly advocates uniform
drug and pistol laws for every State. With
such laws forcibly enacted many lives would
be saved. This fact is well illustrated In our
own city. When in 1911 the Sullivan law
became operative there were 233 suicides by
shooting; in 1920 there We're only 101. This
child suicide problem is most distressing.
The causes include fear of punishment,
school troubles, unhappy home environment,
cruelty, revenge and love affairs. We be-

Not only in the United States, but all over
the world. reports show marked increase
in suicide since the war ended During the
war the rate fell the lowest in many years
This is always noticeable in time of some

have arisen since the war ended have seemed
to greatly cheaper the value of bunah life.
From London, Paris and other European
cities come distressing reports. In Poland
women have committed suicide in hundreds
rather than surrender to the Red army.
In certain colleges there has been an epi-
demic of suicide. To avoid slow death by
starvation 1t is said that entire families in
China have poisoned themselves. 1t is esti-
mated that half million Chinese committed
suicide last year. 1t has also been stated
that $500 merchants alone in Japan have
ended their lives. When the Armenians
felt disaster was certain, when attacked by
the Turks, thousands of women threw
themselves into burning buildings and riv-
ers. A priest relates that for a month the
River Yeprod was a river of crimson, as
result of the many who destroyed them
selves.

Few Drop From Sight Nowaday Without Leaving Trac

''Dr. Robert Yarnell, who recently re-
turned from Germany, is reported as having
said that there is an alarming increase OF
suicide there. 1t is no wonder when Dr.
Max Won Gruber of Munich declared that
Germany ought to allow at least ten or ff-

lives and. that they will die one wav or

The situation has become so serious there
that Government, society and church circles
have begun campaign against this grow
ing evil. Pastors are preaching sermons in
all churches warning the people against the
sim of self murder. and a special police
force has been organized to keep strict
watch and to prevent the people from kill

Statistics Covering 100 Cities
Show Slight Increase in Suicides

The coroners' rates for 100 cities show a
slight increase in the percentage of suicides
for aggregations Of 100000 population in
1920 over that Of 1919. II is believed also
that new ways of killing themselves have
been discovered by people. and therefore
many deaths escape record in the suicide
list. Probably the figures might be sensibly
increased.
Since the report of 1911 was issued-and
a considerable increase was noted as much
as per cent. above the rate given by the
United States census-the menace of suicide
has been recognized as national evil. and
various societies. including the Save a Life
League Of New York city. have given serious
attention TO the subject with an intensive
effort to awaken the moral and spiritual ef-
forts OF people to combat the growing evil

Washington Observations Day by Day

The Republicans were the ones who were
opening law offices in Washington eight
years ago.
Congress is going to send out free seeds
again this year. The distribution will cost
1000, plus postage This is one way

They hope to win favor by sending the voters
something.
The $360.000 is drop i'm the bucket to the
total of Government expense. Yet with the
cost of mailing, it amounts to ten per cent.
OF the total outlay in year.
Every member of Congress maintains u
mailing list of the people in his district.
Usually he tries to send out something every
few months, copies of speeches and docu-
ments when there seeds. When an
election is close the volume of such free
matter is greater.
About one hundred members of Congress
the retirement of many of whom is with pub
lie approval, packing up to go back
on March 4. They are sending their things
ahead while they still are able to use the
post Office frank. One member sent out fifty
mail sacks filed with Congressional Records
to give. him light reading during the long
years.
