NOURNFOR
SAMMY.
Boy Leader, Dead in Heart Of
Ghetto, Is EuIogized as
Good Guy"
By MAX KASE,
A. E,a


NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The hustle
OF the East Side has slightly slowed,
the shrill cry of pushcart peddlers
is bit subdued, while on the teem-
ing block Of Eldridge street, in the
heart of the Ghetto, there is deep
mourning
Sammy Rathet is dead.
Sammy was only seventeen years
old-but a good boy. That was ad-
mitted by the Elders, the white
haired partriarchs who hobble about
with canes while their long boards
sway to the vagaries of the wind.
And the women. feeding children
on house steps or cautioning the
more reckless against using the
gutter as their playground, sadly
shake their heads in a lament and
in a dirgeful wall proclaim:
Should God be SO good and make
mine children like Sammy"
But it is the youngsters who pay
Sammy, or 'Zelick," the most elo-
quent praise.
He wuz a good guy" they VOW.
There was doubt that Sammy
had way with him. He was a roll.
licking, care-free youngster, excelled
all the kids in athletics on his block,
and was the champion also of his
district. The Juveniles looked up
to him as their idol. And Sammy
did not abuse the faith they placed
in him. He taught them things,
urged them to acts of goodness
and kindness. He was the director
Of the Oriel Midgets Club.
About January Is Sammy, who
was shipping clerk. hurt himself
when he lifted a packing case much
too heavy for him. The doctors said
it was something serious. The
gang" did not realize how serious
it was until Sammy just gradually
dropped like a dying tree. And then
1T did not seem possible-Sammy
died.
There is a sign swinging above
the tumult of Eldridge street, above
the foreign noises, the exotic smells
so peculiar to the East Side. It is
Eldridge streets epitaph to Sammy
We Mourn the Loss of
Our Beloved Friend,
SAM (ZELICk) RATHET,
Aged II Years.
Died January 20, 1928.
And the Oriel Midgets Club is that
no longer. 1t has been renamed the
Rathet Social Club, and now has a
clubroom in dingy tenement.
There photographs showing Sammy
in all his smiling brilliance are given
the place of honor, while medals
won by Sammy in athletic competi-
ton are proudly exhibited.
He Wuz a good guy, all right,
say the club members.

We all have them, good ones and bad
ones They are the color threads woven
into the warp and wool Of character
They make us happy or unhappy, etfec-
tive or impotent, successful or unsuccess-
ful-for Character is Destiny!"
The big bad habits and the big good
habits we know Of and can correct or
confirm according to our strength Of will.
It's the little habits that make or break
us, for they are so easily concealed and,
even If discovered, seem too trivial to
warrant any effort.
Take the buying habit, for instance
it took years and years to bring men to
the point of adopting the Goat shirt" the
soft collar, and the safety razor. Every
one Of them was good thing, an improve
ment and a CONFERENCE.-The Old Man
Habit stood in the way and It required
hard, sustained effort to knock him down
and drag him out.
The same condition has always con-
fronted us, in every department Of life,
with every addition to knowledge, with
every discovery, invention and advance.
Valuable time and money has to be ex-
pended in changing our hard, little habits
Of thought and action.
Are You Handicapped With
Am Advertising Habit?
In other words, do you place your ad-
vertisements under the influence Of habit,
or do you reason out where and why they
will be most effective? Buying adver-
Using is similar to buying anything else
efficient buying resolves itself into getting
the most and the best for the least money.
This "most and best" in buying Newspaper
advertising space is represented by Cir
culation-the number Of papers sold, the
number Of readers your advertisement
reaches.
There are other factors, of course-the
quality of readers, the distribution of cir
culation, etc., but it is an accepted prin-
ciple that mass circulation must include
class circulation. Reaching all the people
naturally involves reaching all kinds Of
people. Let's take the simplest, most
direct form of advertising classified adj
vertising, or, more familiarly, Want Ads.
The room or apartment you want to
rent, the used automobile you want to sell,
the position you want to obtain, the piano
you want to exchange, etc-obviously
the surest, speediest way to have your
wants fulfilled is to make them known to
the greatest number of people. The big,
national advertisers recognize this point
They spend their advertising millions in
the newspapers of biggest circulation
Your advertising cents and dollars mean
just as much to you, so you should buy
as wisely as they do.
Two Big Newspapers
For One Small Price
That is our proposition to you. It may
be contrary to your buying habits-but it
will appeal to your common sense. Two
big newspapers, morning and evening,
with combined circulation greater than
the number Of homes in Washington
that means reaching virtually every man
and woman who can read.
No need, Of course, to tell you that this
overwhelming combination comprises
