daughter, as well as myself, have AL
been built up from half-siek, run

And the experience of this famjl is
only typical of thousands of Others
whose statements are on file in the
Tanlac offices. Hardly day passes
that does not bring scores of such
messages of praise from every part of
the United States and Canada from
families where mother, father, son and
daughter have all found health, con-
tentment and the joys of living
through simply taking a course of
Tanlac.
Take, for instance, the case of John
Widner, 1871 Roosevelt Ave-, Los An

self and little boy are now as healthy,
happy family as you will ever see--and

GETTING PUBLICITY FOR a CITY

Shawnee, Oklahoma, is a live town. 1t won the prize
for being the most progressive city in that state a short time
ago and the Shawnee Board of Commerce has proceeded 10
tell the world.
In fact, the progress made by Shawnee is, no doubt, due
TO the activities of the Board Of Commerce, as the leading
civic organization is called there. Every few days the
Evening News, and no doubt every other newspaper in the
country, receives some literature about Shawnee, sent out
by the Shawnee Board of Commerce.
Here is a sample of the latest publicity along this line
Ibid YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
THAT the city that gets the publicity gets the
business.
THAT the city that gets the advertising grows.
THAT advertising a city is a business, not child's
THAT people will go miles to get TO a good live
city to trade.
THAT your property will increase in value when
the outside world knows your city is wide-awake.
"THAT people from neighboring cities will come
| where there is something doing.
THAT the city which does not seek something
better than it now has, is going to lose out.
THAT now is the time your city and business
need advertising more than ever before.
THAT if you won't get out and go after the out
side trade, some neighboring city will.
"THAT if they do, they will get the business you
should get"
Perth Amboy would do we'll to ponder these things.
Every word is true. The same public spirit and civic pride
does not seem to prevail in Perth Amboy that is to be founi
in so many other cities, particularly those of the South anu
West. Here a lack of harmony and inability to get together.
has made impossible the proper functioning of a Board of
Trade or a Chamber of Commerce.
But nothing can be truer than the statement that comes
from Shawnee: "That if you don't get out and go after the
outside trade, some neighboring city will
Also: "That the city that gets the advertising grows "
Perth Amboy has wonderful advantages to advertise.
With the important harbor development now under way
there is only the lack of local enterprise to prevent the city
reaping the full advantage therefrom.
What Perth Amboy needs is a little more Of the Shaw
nee spirit.

THE DUMB BELLS

A commission of experts investigates the inmates Of
the Ionia reformatory, Michigan. 1t applies the army psychol-
ogy test and placidly announces that the percentage of in
mates of average mentality is greater than that of drafted
men who served in the American army during the World
War.
This probably strikes you as ridiculous. 1t Is.
1t takes a report like this Ionia Finding" to show up lie
bunk of the average intelligence test.
You have seen such tests. They run like this IF black
is white, place a cross here-but if a cow has three horns, I'M
derscore horns and then state yes or mo whether a circle
is square, etc, etc.
While the above is a burlesque on the average mentality
test, it is fully as sane and sensible as the real thing. tsE
The trouble with the mentality tests is that they grade IN
tenect according to mental agility and cunning.
Outside of geniuses, the highest grade of brain Is slow
thinking. IL you have ever consulted a white-bearded phlloso-
pher, you know that the oracle hears your case, ponders 1t
with deliberation, views it from all angles, then N a terse SEN
tence utters the decision of wisdom.
The fast thinker arrives at wrong conclusions oftener
than the slow thinker.
The fast thinker usually is a surface thinker.
A large part of humanity's time is devoted to correcting
the errors of Judgment on the part of the 'snap judgment

What to do to go
in Movie Game
BY DAVID WARK GRIFFITH

First I should try to be as honest
with myself as it is possible for a
prejudiced person to be-.
SO many persons are honest with
the world and furiously dishonest
with themselves.
I should ascertain, as sanely as
possible, what my qualifications ma
turally were for the particula:
branch of the industry ! intended to
enter.
In this, the health. appearance.
educational equipment. and natural
talents should be considered.
Then / should determine where 1
wished to be five years in the flu
ture. and whether thai work would
satisfy me after five years of de-
velopment.
If 1 wished TO make money. l
should not enter motion pictures.
Money flows in channels. No artis-
tic road can be a money channel. II
Is unfortunate that money has be-
come so closely associated with mo-
ton picture work. Young persons
instinctively think of vast incomes
when they consider pictures. That
illustrates the force of publicity.
Money and motion pictures make
interesting material for the press.
But the young person with his or
her eye on the dollar seldom follows
the path to success in art. And mo-
ton pictures will be more and more
a great art.
After a careful survey of my
qualifications l should go to a GEN.
ter where motion pictures are made.
1t would also be we'll to consider
what organization offers the great
est opportunities for the particular
work in mind. Ordinarily. the most
desirable organization would be one
where progress and expansion were
probable.
To enter vitality into the making
of pictures, one should have a de-
sire to give something to the world.
to do something to bring laughter,
and information and thought to the
millions; to bring something of the
quiet and serene ideals with which
the great soul of humanity is SO
generously supplied; to bring ideas
that will stimulate and illuminate
and above all entertain. For enter
tainment is the triumphant thing,
educating entertainment If possible,
but by all means entertainment that
will take the public for a few min
utes away from the little beaten
paths of life; send them on an ex-
cursion into the and OF romance
for which we are all searching no
matter how cynical or hopeless we
may be.
II you do not bring that wish
when you enter motion pictures YOU
are but a day laborer. anyway, and
might as well make steel. or grow
cotton, or do any of the numberless
activities that can offer the wage
for the hours.
When you get your job. If you
are really qualified. you will be so
busy, and so happy. and progress
so rapidly. you will need no further
suggestions.

FOR BAND CONCERTS

From the person who sent a dollar to the Evening News
some time ago as a contribution toward a band concert fund
we have received the following letter:
'As the writer of the letter in reference to band con.
certs in the Perth Amboy parks during the summer season l
should like to say that my idea, and the idea of many have.
talked with, was to let the people contribute as much or as
little as they please. l did not ask the News to make the
drive. 1 believe enough people would contribute to leave
very little for the aldermen to pay. One concert a week
would cost about 81 500 and these concerts would be en-
ioyed and appreciated. Morristown, with a population OF
IL, 900 has had concerts paid for by money contributed by
the people for twelve years; Orange for over ~thirty-five
years. Perth Amboy has nothing to interest its citizens"
The Evening News is perfectly willing to act as Gus
todian for any fund that might be started for band concerts
II must be remembered, however, that it is going to take a
lot of contributions to raise even fifteen hundred dollars, and
that the concerts ought to be started at least by the Fourth
Of July.
The question arises, of course, what to do with such
money as may be received if the total is not sufficient for the
purpose. Confusion always results in any attempt to return
such contributions. The Evening News would be inclinei
10 give whatever money is received to the park board for
them to use as they see fit with the understanding that it be
used for band concerts if the amount is sufficient.
