TRUTH FOR D. c.
ADVERTISING
IS GOAL
Better Business Bureau Opens
Campaign to End Mis-
representation.

Coincident with the opening Of the
fall retail business season, which is
beginning this week. the Better
Business Bureau today is opening
the greatest campaign In its history
for truth in advertising and elmina-
ton Of Misrepresentation and con-
fusing advertising material.
During the next few weeks, under
direction Of the new head Of the
bureau, Howard M. Cool, a campaign
will be carried into every line of
retail business, similar to that con-
Quoted in the fur trade during the
past few days.
The retail business, the bureau
has been informed, is planning for
the most prosperous fall business in
years and an unusual amount of ad.
vertising is being planned.
Code Of Trade Ethics.
It is understood that confer
ence Of a large group Of local bust
ness men will be called together
consider the framing of a definite
for each line Of business. These
will be distributed through the
bureau to every business house in
Washington and will be enforced in
future advertising.
The first fur advertisements of
the season, appearing this week, are
strictly in accord with the policies
adopted by the local fur men at a
meeting called last week by the
bureau, Cool announced today.
"The success of this campaign"
he stated, will insure like confer
ences Of the various special trades
and it is probable that meetings in
some Of these other lines will be
announced shortly.
"Such means of remedying mis-.
leading and confusing trade means
advertising methods have been en-
ployed by the Federal Trade Com
mission under its authority to pre-
vent unfair competition in restraint
of trade. These trade practice sub
initials have been very successful
from a national standpoint and. in
the fur conference of the Washing
ton bureau, has been adapted to the
local situation.
COrrects Problems.
"It\is only logical that Washing.
ton should endeavor to bring about
the minimum Of misrepresentation
In advertising because of the ma.
tional position the city occupies in
the economic and political life of
the country. The business inter.
ests of Washington, it has been
demonstrated, realize their added
responsibility, not only to their cug
toners, but also to the business
ethics of the country.
There is such a thing as un.
healthy competition, which exists in
Washington to limited degree. as
1t exists in practically every city
taking form in the use of unuuaii
fled statements and "mudslinging'
In advertising. Antagonism in bust.
ness is costly, especially when 1t is
applied to advertising, and this cost
Is shouldered by the consumer.
The bureaus activities in bring.
ing trades together to consider gen.
eral tendencies in advertising will
have the effect of remedying This
situation, as well as correcting the
immediate problems under discus.
sion."

issues or else take total disreputa-
ton Of itself in the face Of the La

issues have been much more toward
the Administration than against II.
II Is widely known that a large
number of Administration followers
would today resort to him a.
second choice If President Harding
should decline to make the fight for
succeeding himself.
It Is therefore felt that II John
son now should abandon the Repub-
lican party on foreign issues, the
party would be as hard hit from
one direction as La Toilette has hit
it from the other.
La Toilette is regarded by most
Republican party leaders as hope
lessly lost. The strategy Of the
situation, in their view, Is that
johnson absolutely must, be re-
tanned. A simultaneous departure
by La Toilette and by Johnson Is
thought to be much more than the
party could in 1924 survive.
With L Toilette leading . "radi-
cal' detection and with Johnson
leading an ''irreconcilable" defec-
ton, the party, It is thought, would
be lucky IL 1t repeated William
Howard Taft's feat of 1912 in car

Surrender to johnson.
Rather than surrender to La Fol-
lette, who Is both an 'irreconcil-
able" and a radical" the Repub-
lican party for sometime has been
veering toward surrendering to
johnson, who at the worst 10 re-

 The proposed decree limits to cer- tain cooperative organizations and to l4 government trusts or departments the right to buy and sell abroad.

s7O,OOO FIRE IN STAMFORD.
Opera House Damaged Seriously
 Naturalist Loses Manuscript.

Stamford, Conn.,. March 19.-Fire last night damaged the opera house building on Atlantic street, owned by Mrs. Mary Vuono. to the amount of $35,000 and caused as much more damage to the contents of the build ing.
 The fire started in the cellar of q store and spread upward and outward through an airshaft. A second alarm was turned in, and it was two hours before the fire was under control.
 Three stores, four apartments; two offices occupied by dentists, William J. Longs office and three floors filled with furniture in storage were dam aged by the fire. Dr. Long, a natur- alist, who engaged Tn a controversy with President Roosevelt some years ago, lost manuscripts which he valued highly.
