All advertising does not succeed. Some
zines it is badly done. Advertising in the
right place, at the right time, backed by the
right goods will invariably win.
The foundation of advertising success is
picking the right markets and the right me-
dunn. The national advertiser who starts
on this basis plans intelligently and has the
battle half won.
The right medium forreaching the largest
number of customers at the lowest cost, in
any market, is the daily newspaper.

Urges Enforcement of Humane
Laws.
10 the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star
Your recent issues have contained
some very feeling protests against the
Indifferent and cruel treatment OF
poultry, sheep and calves on Louisl-
ana avenue, 10th street, r street and
elsewhere in and around Center mar
ket I hope that the deep interest
shown by your correspondents will
impress the dealers in these creatures
with a sense of their moral and legal
duty to practice more humaneness.
hope also that the extensive discus
sion of this matter in your columns
will attract the serious notice of our
District Commissioners and cause
them to stop the slaughtering of ami
mails within the city limits, and to see
to it that our police force shall do
more to enforce the laws against
Humane Society has but two agents.
They cannot attend to all the work of
this sort. However, in 1920. they
prosecuted, as shown by the annual
report of the society, 102 cases of
cruelty to animals, whereas the met
ropolitan police in that same year
prosecuted only tWenty-four cases,
yet the metropolitan police force con-
sists of some six hundred or more
men. True, they have other things to
do than arrest persons whosabuse ami
mails: but it would seem from the
leisurely way in which they generally
patrol their beats that they might find
time to pay more attention to Offend
ers of that class. To the average citi-
zen it appears that our policemen are
usually strongly inclined not to both
er. themselves about the welfare of
animals. 1t is a very rare occurrence
for one Of them to show any initiative
in this matter. They should bA made
to understand that laws for the pro-
lection of animals are not to be sneer-
ed at or looked upon lightly, but to
be enforced in the proper spirit.
Now that President and Mrs. Hard
ing are outspokenly such great lovers
of animals, it is time for disappear
ance of the idea that only shallow, un-
balanced or oversentimental people
look upon the animal protection
movement as one of any Importance.
That movement commands the in
dorsement and suppoart of many of
the best known men and women in
America 1t is not something to be
ridicuIed And the rights of animals
are not trifling matters. Let us insist
that those rights be maintained.

From the Pedestrians Viewpoint.

To the Editor of The Star:
While I believe in giving due con-
sideration to all vehicles at cross
ings, especially to the horses to save
them from being roughly ierked up
to avoid collisions, I should like to
say. in reply to your correspondent
in last evenings issue, that star
gazing is not peculiar to the pc
destrian.
Not long ago, in crossing the tracks
at Thomas circle. car that was
rounding the circle at a good speed
seemed 10 come at me no matter
which direction l took. I could not
understand the drivers actions until
/ discovered that he was gazing back
over his shoulder. He turned toward
wfoop as he considered the injury
which he had so nearly committed.
Twice within a few days I have had
narrow escapes at corners. Autos
that have appeared to be taking a
straight course have suddenly
swerved right around the corner at
me. the drivers not doing ME the
honor to sound a warning.
If there is any law in Washington
requiring the sounding of the horn.
l do not know why it is not enforced.
Nobody has any special sense of
protection for the pedestrian, who
must not only watch in three diff
ferent directions to try to discover
the chauffeurs intentions, but also
keep an eye on the traffic officer and
one on the trolley, and all the while
try to avoid collisions with other foot
passengers.
Autoists do not seem to remember
that there are many people who
neither see nor hear well, and that
the commingling of sights and
sounds at crowded crossings is con-
fusing in the extreme.
According to my observation,
women do not as a rule drive care
lessly nor at high speed. but it is a
very common thing to see men zig
Tagging along any old way while
ccnvcrsinc with and looking at an
occupant of the car.

DEMAND GROWING
FOR IRISH TREATY
People in Southern Ireland
Overwhelmingly in Favor
of Ratification.
BY tie Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 2T.-Seutiment
throughout Ireland. as reelected In
day, Is overwhelmingly in favor of
the Irish peace treaty. Reports from
various provinces Indicate that fully
80 per cent OF the people In the twen-
ty-sx countiSs OF southern ireland
want the pact ra titled.
This confirms predictions made
when the dali eireann adjourned its
debate On tha treaty last Thursday
until January 3. that the recess would
bring definite expression OF the peo-
pies will, and the view is now put
forward that when the dali reassem-
bles the treaty will be approved by
a majority which will make an ap-
peal to the country unnecessary.
Sensation IL Predicted.
The Morning Posts correspondent
says a rumor is afoot "of sensa-
ton" before the dali meets again.
this being taken to mean that
Eamonn De Valera intends to an
nounce withdrawal of his opposition
in view of the weight Of opinion for
the treaty.
The Times sent a special corre-
spondent to County Glare, the coun-
Gil of which appealed to Mr. De Va
lera to abandon his opposition. Ac-
cording TO the correspondent, the
councils action was indorsed with pF!as
by vast majority of the people
Glare is known as the "baner county.
from its having been the traditional
home of Irish political movements.
among them Daniel DConnelis fnan-
cipation campaign and Charles Stew
art Parnell's land league struggle,
and its people regard the council as
having lived up to traditions.
Clare strong for Treaty.
The reporter discussed the question
with all ranks and class of people,
from the highest ecclesiastics to the
lowest menials, and says that, while
he heard nothing in disparagement OF
Mr.. De Valera, he was assured that
from 70 to SO per cent of the county
favors the treaty. The minority ~
believed to be mostly members Of the
Irish republic army. The Dublin cor
respondent of the Times cites as ef-
ideuce of the public support oil TIE
treaty the fact that a long letter from
Erskine Childers published in the
new spaDeTS Saturday, explaining and
supporting the alternative oath or al
legiance aScribed TO Mr.. De Valera
attracted little interest. Moreover. II
was regarded as II breach of the
agreement made before the dails ris-
ing that none of the members would
issue controversial statements during
the recess. and was Interpreted as al
indication that De Valera's party Is
increasingly in fear of defeat.
Arthur Griffith, one of the leading
pro -ratificat:onists. countered the let
ter with a statement declaring 1t In
accurate as regards Mr.. Childers' ac-
count of how the alternative oath was
discussed by the Irish delegates tc
