HOW ADVER
TISING WORKS

Every merchant is anxious TO in-
crease his net annual profit. His
success is dependent more on The
net annual profit than the profit on
each sale. That is The reason the
merchant likes to handle a product
that is well advertised by the man
ufacturer. He sells perhaps on
less margin Of profit, but his net
annual profit on an advertised COM
modify is always greater than on
similar non-advertised product.
IL it pays merchant to handle
a product that is well advertised.
why doesn't it pay all the more to
advertise product he handles.
Suppose a retail merchant buys
an article for75 cents, and his gross
margin of profit is 33 cents on each
sale He sells 400 year. His
annual gross profit would be $l32.
But his net profit ON this one art,
icle for the year may be only $40,
as the balance or $92 may be the
proportion of running expenses
charged to the article, such rs tax
es, rent, insurance, salesman, iuter-
est on investment, etc.
Suppose on the other hand he
retail merchant advertises the al
ticle we'll. He will sell the adver-
tised article at rs cents, and his
gross margin Of profit on each sale
will be the same as before, or 80
cents. He will probably sell 800
each year at an annual gross prof.
it Of $264, and an expense of per-
haps S92 Then If the merchant
spends the sum of $35 advertising
the article his sexpanse is only $l27,
and his gross profit is 1854, leaving
net annual profit of Sl37,
The net annual profit on the ar.
ticle when not advertised is $40
while the net annual profit on the
article when advertised is Sl37 or
a difference of $97, which amount
the merchant loses by not adver-
tising the article. How much does
the merchant lose on each article
he handles by not advertising the
article? The only way to tell is to
try out advertising in a Systematic
aud persistent way.

sion, however, as the Senate attached
a reservation to the separate peace
treaty with Germany specifically pro-
viding that no American representative
should be appointed on this body with
out the sanction Of Congress.
The President, his advisers say, has
performed his full duty in letting Con-
gressional leaders know his view of
the situation. He does not propose
formally to open another such battle
as he encountered in obtaining the
foreign debt funding authority and in
getting members Of the Debt Funding
Commission confirmed by the Senate.

PARIS, March 81 (By The Associated

said General De Castelnau, chairman
Of the Army Commission, in the Cham
ber of Deputies to-day in advocating

sponsored by the commission.
Germany" General Castelnau con-
tinued, "has seven divisions of infantry
and three Of cavalry, and these forces
can be trebled overnight. The League
Of Nations has not yet realized mill
tar!ly that the great American nation
absolutely refuses to cross it's thresh-
old. We are great, peaceful nation,
but we cannot vouch for others. Thus
we must remain attached to the prin-

LONDON, March 21.-Psemier Lloyd
George will end his vacaticatin We-iss
and appear before the House of Com
mons April to demand a vote of con-
fdence on che British governments
program for the Genoa economic con-
ference, Austen Chamberlain, govern
ment spokesman, announced in the
House to-day.
1t is conceded In parliamentary cir
cles that the Premier VIII get strong
majority in vote of confidence, and
armed with this authority, will head
the British delegation to the confer
ence. Chamberlain announced that
among the other British delegates
would be the Marquis of Curzon, For
eign Secretary, and Sir Robert Steven
son Horne, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer.
Another Precedent Ignored
The Premier's plan to demand the
support of the House of Commons be-
fore he goes to Genoa is almost un-
precedented in Parliamentary history
as votes of confidence almost invariably
come sitter some accomplishment of the
Cabinet, rather than prior to a venture
But with typical Lloyd Georgian STRAIT
egy, the Premier expects and probably
will obtain what amounts to a carte
blanche for the launching of the Brit
ish scheme for a pan-European peace
agreement. The vote of confidence will
serve also to strengthen the Premier's
support on domestic issues and will be
heavy setback to the revolt among the
diehard Unionists.
Chamberlain refused, to throw any
light on the scope of the discussions
at Genoa, but it is expected that these
will be brought out fully by the Prem
ier in his address. After the vote of
confidence he will have one week to
draw up final plans for the conference
which is now scheduled to open April

Specia, Dispatch to The Tribune


POINT PLEASANT, N. j., March Fl:
Crime hunters hereabouts turned
their attention to-day from bank rob-
bers, footpads and ordinary highway
men to burglars who seem to specialize
in new sort of thieving. These bur.
glars are paying visits to unprotected
and unsuspecting schoolhouses and
carting away Photographs and records:
State troopers, when they learned
that last night one schoolhouse had
been entered and one photograph had
been hauled off, thought that perhaps
the instrument was all that the intrud-
ers saw that they considered worth
having. Later, however, the troopers
were told that no less than five school
houses in this vicinity had been broken
into and no less than five phonographs
taken, and the Investigators decided
the new criminals have downright
taste for music and can't help it.
Joseph Clayton. member OF the
Jackson Mills school board, said that
the phonograph thieves entered
schools at jackson Mills, Hyson. Pleas

He said he was determined that the

diseases, shall not create new ones, as
it frequently does in unskilled hands.
DR.. Copeland made public a report
by Dr. II. G. MacAdam, chief of the
Division Of Institutional Inspection,
which declares that X-ray work in
many cases is being done by persons
who are ignorant of its proper uses.
Burns" says Dr. MacAdam, "some
of them very extensive and very diff

set up in the body of the patient. The
operators of the machines also have
been affected by this powerful ray,
and in certain cases people in rooms

come under it's influence.
