Popular Falacy Explained.

The plaint of many persons for
years that if a store didn't spend so
much for advertising 1.-The cost OF that
suit of clothes would be about half
what it was" is proved to be wholly
false by Prof Horace Secrist, director
of the bureau of business research of
Northwestern University. who has just
finished an elaborate survey of the
retail clothing trade. Prof. Secrist was
in Rochester, n. Y, and delivered four
addresses at the annual meeting of the
National Association of Retail Cloth
iers, whose membership furnished the
information upon which his survey is
based
If Chicagoan buys two suits of
clothes a year and pays an average
of $50 each for the sultan eXpendi-
ture of S1O0-Prof. Secrist discovered
that of this total net sale, only $2.O7
went for advertising and Of this small
amount but $1.59 went to the newspa-
pers for newspaper advertising. The
survey covered three-year period
and is regarded as furnishing stand
ards for the retail clothing trade.
Whereas. the newspapers get only Il
little over S1.5O of that 500, Prof
Secrist shows that the landlord, for
rent, got $2G4. and that wages took
$12.4S. The bonus plan is not used by
a majority of the retail clothiers and
wherever it exists, it generally is in
city plants of the largest companies.

Thirty-six states with $50 stores con-

ment and private laboratories. Many
tests with denatured alcohol and ben
zol added in small quantities to gaso-
line have given good results.
A week of competition with various
formulate will be held at BcZicrs in
February, 1922. Private interests have
contributed 100000 frances to the fund
Tor these tests. Another fund of like
amount is made available by parlia-
ment for laboratory and road tests I'M
der the supervision of parliamentary
commission.
Alcohol is available in France from
sugar beets principally but it is plan
red to develop other sources OF supply
So far it has not been found that
there is any great economy in using
alcohol but it is believed that. with in
creased use, the alcohol industry might
produce at lower prices. The principal
advantage sought in the national fuel,
However, is independence of foreign Oil
supplies. During the war there were
at times dangerous shortages of fuel
for airplanes and automobiles.
One of the problems to be solved is
the effect of any new mixture on Ell
zines and their fabrication. Another
difficulty is the necessity of some rede-
signing in motor construction to get
easy starting and the greatest Elf

wheat fields of the Dakotas, the vast
plains Of Texas, and the plantations
of the Southland; a good deal more,
it is suIe to say, than it is given to
the average American citizen to see
in all his lifetime.
Only a few weeks ago. the Ameri-
can Legion brought Marshal Foch to
the United States as the guest OF TIT
Legion and began plotting him around
this country. At first the officials OF
the Legion were careful about maxi
ing. the Marshars trip one that would
not prove too strenuous for him. But
they found that the man who led the
allied troops to victory in the World
War was great deal more strenu-
Gus than they had estimated. For
Marshal Foch said he wanted to see
the United States from top to bottom
and from one side to the other. and
that too fast a pace could not be set
for him. Therefore trip which had
at first been set for about three
weeks was extended to seven weeks

Generalissimo Of Allied Armies
Travels $4,000 Miles in 90 DAVIS

Ferdinand Foch, Marshal of France,
has proved himself to be the young
est and liveliest man of three score
years and ten that the world has
ever seen. The commander-in-chief
of the allied armies is now being
rolled around the country at rate
beyond the dreams of Jules Verne,
and will soon return to France with
new record for intrepid globe
trotting.
The itinerary laid out for the
Marshal by the American Legion's
reception committee calls for $4,000
miles in sixty days. To do it, the
transportation facilities of the coun-
try have been placed at the Legion'ss
complete disposal. It's fright of way"

Cleveland, Ohio. Nov. 2S.-FrOm de-

Cleveland in eight years was the ac-
cOmplishment of Fred S. K0hler.
Strangely enough Kohler, who became
prominent as the Golden Rule Chief
during Mayor Tom l.. Johnson's regime,
was elected without making a campaign
speech. Instead, for five months he
conducted house-to-hOuse canvass
which he carried into every ward and
probably into every precinct in the city.

by The Associated Press.)
Minneapolis, Mimi. Nov 2S.-A man
ual textbook, dealing with the operate
OF the entire postoffice department and
methods of utilizating the gigantic
postal system, is being prepared by a
committee here, for Introduction in the
grade schools of this state with the
hope Of ultimately establishing this
book in every public educational in
stitution in the United States. 1t is
hoped to instruct children while they
are young how to use the postOffice,
in an effort to lessen the mistakes
which are costing the government mill
ions Of dollars.
Hays Approves.
Phillip E. Carlson, of this city, pres
ident of the Minnesota Educational as
ISOLATION, is head of the committee
which is drawing up the textbook. Ap-
prevail of the undertaking has been
given by Postmaster General Will
Hays, who, after the manual is COM
pleted, will give his and the depart
ment's authorization to use the book in
the public schools, according to Post
master e. A. Purdy, Of Minneapolis,
president of the National Association
of Postmasters.
FOstmasters Pledged.
The National Association of Post
masters is pledged to the move, the
head of the organization announced.
Mr.. Carlson declared, that not enough
attention was given to the postal sub.
ject at educational meetings, and he
announced that at the next annual con-
vention of the organization this sub.
ject would hold an important place.
Government Loses Money.
LACK of knowledge of how to use
the postoffice properly is costing the
government millions Of dollars" said
Mr.. Purdy. "The instruction which this
book proposes to give, will Obviate, to
a great degree, many of the improperly
made out money orders, registered mail
losses, improperly addressed letters and
packages, destruction Of merchandise
by faulty packing. and the like"
Completion Of the text book probably
will be after the first of the year.
