to create consumer demand and
consumer preference. With this
demand as a fact all selling plans
have chance to succeed. Without
it they fail. The only chance for
salesmanship to succeed without
an existing demand is for sales
manship to assume the task that
belongs to advertising-the task of
creating demand.
If the present efforts that are be-
ing put into selling were amply
supported by a corresponding ef-
fort to create consumer demand
through Advertising, the business
conditions of this country would
be rapidly changed into an era of
great prosperity-in spite of Old
World conditions and everything
else.
The proof of this is in the fact that
right now, under these very condi-
tions, the manufacturers who are
putting proper emphasis on Great
ing a demand for their product. as
well as selling it, are doing big
business and are actually getting
the high turnover that others are
trying to strenuously to get
through intensive selling.

Two Sides of Turnover

The alert business man dealing
with present day conditions knows
that the big word today is Turn
over" Whether he be a merchant,
manufacturer, jobber, or banker,
he sees that one thing with clear
vision unbiased by the limits of his
own business. It is in the air, and
on the tip of every tongue.
And yet many of them entirely
too many-are thinking on only
one side of Turnover. They think
Of it as meaning rapid selling
putting money in and getting it
out quickly and at a profit. They
realize that they must put great
ly increased efforts back Of all
their plans for selling and distribu-
ton.
The other half of Turnover is the
consumer All selling plans and
efforts fail if the consumer doesn't
want to buy. His desire for the
product must be created. He must
meet the seller half way. He
must be in a mood to buy before
the salesman meets him across the
counter.
That is the function of Advertising

AS the Mississippi today ap-
preached its 1920 hood stage with
prospect of a rise of 16.5 feet
Thursday night or Friday, waters
were causing damage and suspen-
sion of work in the west end of
the city.
Only the track embankment of
the Rock Island Lines held back
waters from great section of the
west end of the city but confidence
was expressed that this barrier
will prevent great property dam
age beyond the southwest factory
district in which ample flood pro-
tective measures are already under
way.
The Sears power plant is shut
down, the Rock Island Bridge &
Iron works expects to close tomor-
row and other southwestern fac
tories will probably be forced to
suspend operations until the crest
OF the river passes.
Water which gives indication of
going as high or higher than the
crest of the flood in 1920 is COM
ing down the Mississippi and will
cause stage of 165 feet at this
point Thursday night or Friday
The crest of the flood in 1920 was

Hundreds of calls have been re-
ceived by Andrew Hamrick, wealth
er man, by anxious residents and
factory superintendents in the low
lands Of the tri-cities Stages for
the crest will be announced as soon
as the peaks are reached in the
upper waters, Mr.. Hamrick said.

The Rock Island Lines tracks
embankment along the bottom land
in which the Rock Island Bridge &
Iron works and the Standard Tex

is the only bulwark the west end
OF Rock Island has against Rock
rivers back-water today. At pres
ent the top Of this embankment, as
far as the embankment of the sid
ing which curves away to serve the
Bridge & Iron works at Fourteenth
avenue, is six feet or more above
the water. Seepage is a minor fac
tor, and the various houses and
plants in the vicinity of First street
and Sixteenth, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth avenues seem to be in
no danger of being reached by the
flood.
More sandbags were placed to-
day at the mouth of the storm drain
which empties into the Rock river
slough at Sixteenth avenue, as the
water steadily rose toward the top
of the bank of 600 sandbags, tim
bers and packing of earth placed
there in the last several days.
The protection of this drain is
important because backing OF flood
water into it would flood a number
of blocks of vacant or occupied low
land back of the Rock Island Lines
embankment. A great deal of this
territory is more than foot below

OCEAN FLYERS
HOP OFF THIRD
LEG OF FLIGHT
Begin Dangerous 800
Mile Jump to st.
Paul Rocks.

Porto Praya, Cape Verde Is
lands, April 1S.-(By The Associat-
ed Press.)-The Portuguese trans
Atlantic aviators, Captains Cou-
tinho and Sacadura, hoped off this
morning for St Paul Rocks on the
third, and probably most dangerous,
leg of their flight from Lisbon TO
Rio Janeiro.
Their route lay over 800 miles
of water, devoid of markers or
guideships and they expected to
reach the rocks, in mid-Atlantic in
from ten to twelve hours flying
time. The aviators flew their plane
here from St Vincent yesterday in
preparation for today's start, con-
ditions here being more favorable
for successful getaway.
The landing at st. Paul Rocks
is expected to be difficult as there
is only a small bay or opening be-
tween the two islets on the north
east side. This bay or cove is only
56 yards across at the entrance
and 100 yards long and presents
some difficulties to vessels except
in the most moderate weather.
The seaplane is awaited at the
rocks by the Portuguese cruiser
Republica which is carrying suy-
ply Of gasoline and oil and which
will broadcast the news of the avi-
ators' arrival.
From ST. Paul Rocks the airmen
plan to fly to the island of Fer
nando Noronha, approximately $50
miles OFF the Brazilian coast and
from there to Pernambuco.

STORM PATH
is THROUGH
SIX STATES
Greatest Force Spent in
illinois, Indiana and
Ohio.

Chicago, April Is. = Sweeping
northwestward through the mid
die western states, a storm which
had its origin in the Rocky Noun
tain regions on Sunday, had passed
over the Ohio today, leaving in its
wake death and much destruction.
A loss of nearly fifty lives was at
tributed to the storm, which de-
yeloped considerable energy as it
progressed eastward, taxing in
many places the form of tornadoes.
Damage TO property will mount
into millions, il is believed.
Accompanied by rains which sent
streams already swollen, coursing
!. far beyond their usual channels,
the storm brought added suffering
and inconvenience to some COM
munities which for several days
have been affected by food condi-
tions. A drop in the temperature
to below the seasonal normal add
ed to the discomfort of families
whose homes have been destroyed
by winds or made uninhabitable by
foods, are now living i'll tents or
lmpTOFlSeu shelter.
81 Dead in Indiana.
Indiana apparently felt the full
effect of the wind storm yesterday.
In that state 21 persons are known
to have met death in different CON-
munities. Early yesterday morn
ing the storm centered in Illinois.
Striking a number of villages in
the darkness tornadoes wrought
havoc to many homes and such re-
ports as were available from agri-
cultural communities, which had
been stripped of nearly all means
of communication, indicated that
% persons had been killed.
Missouri, Iowa and Kansas had
felt the storm early on Sunday but
in these states it lacked the intep-'
sity which marked its sweep across
Illinois. Indiana and into Ohio.
AS it passed over Indiana there
were two distinct tornado belts.
The one in the southern part in
fiicted some damage, but across the
northwest part of the state there
was wide-swept strip in which
the loss of life was heavy. War
rem county, in the western part OF
the state, reported a loss of IL
lives. Four met death in Madison
county, in the central portion of
the state.
Illinois Hardest Hit.
The death toll was greatest in
central Illinois. The villages OF
lrVington and Plainfield, not far
rom Centralia, were partly wreck
cd and several persons killed. Oth1
cd and several persons killed. 9th
small rural communities.
Wires were blown down by the
storm and telephone and telegraph

munications it was considered
probable that complete reports
might Indicate even greater disas-
Ter than was indicated early today.

JAZZ Is DEAD
LEGALLY IN
SAVANNAH, GA.
City Dads Pass Ordi-
nance Banning the
Wicked WiggIe.
BY G. w. TuTTLR.

Consolidated Press Correspondent.
Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
Savannah, Ga, April 18.-Jazz is
an outlaw. The Savannah city
council at a meeting late Monday
AFTERNOON passed an ordinance bar
ring jazz. syncopated or other
wise, from the stage, from all pub
lie dances, and presumably from
all homes, for the new law makes
II crime to engage" in this
terpsichorean pastime.
Now that the law is on the city
statute books, the city fathers are
looking for some one definitely to
define jazz. In the modern dance
where does jazz begin and where
does it leave off?
The law declares 'jazz'' to be
indecent and injurious to public
morals" and fixes a penalty of s1O0
fine or 80 days in Jail for those
who participate in the barred
dance or those who permit it at af-
fairs which they control.
Meeting in Public.
The ordinance was adopted be-
fore the largest crowd thai has at
tended a council meeting in years.
Alderman A. J. Garfunkel is the IA
ther of the anti-iazz movement. He
introduced the ordinance 10 days
ago and it has been the town talk
ever since. So great was the in
terest displayed that Mayor Stew
art decided to hold a special meet
ing of the council and to invite "all
comers" to appear and discuss the
measure.
The women of the city turned out
in force. They were against Jazz
ito a man" They met everyone
who entered the city hall during
the meeting and pinned on coats
and shirtwaists tag reading
Down With Jazz"
AS originally drawn the ordi-
nance exempted professional dane
ers appearing on the theatrical
stage. Opposed to the new law
thought to discredit it by Offering
an amendment striking out the pro-
vision permitting professional jazz.
The proponents of the measure
quickly accepted the amendment
and the ordinance went @througa.
with a whoop.
Hits Professionals, Too.
"The professionals" said Alder
man Gordon Saussy, emphasize
and exaggerate every feature Of
the dance that is Objectionable
So far as known here there is no
precedent for the passage of such
a municipal act No other city is
known to have a similar measure
Those who spoke for the ordinance
said the young people needed some
restraining measure to keep their
morals clean. From what some of
the speakers said jazz is very bad
thing, indeed, but no one has been
found yet who can draw up rules
to guide the jazz inspector.
