Are manufacturers and merchants Justified in thinking that the majority of men read women's publications? Are there not an enormous number of men who have difficulty in finding time to read the daily newspapers and periodicals of special interest 10 them in a business way.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-16

I don't Why should you or I have 70 read women's publications in order to find out where the best xoods fo,. us to buy? My own notion IS thai the publishers and editors of women's pub ncations have been extremely skillful In broadcasting the idea, that our wo- men folk do nearly all our spending for us. They have succeeded in attracting sn enormous volume of advertising, a lot of 1t, from what I gather, dealing with things for men.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-16

Before writing this column had a talk with an advertising man. He warned me not to write anything on tne subject because it was beset with problems that the layman could not possibly fathom.
 T talked also with a woman and she remarked: Apparently you don't read women's publications"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-16

The manufactures who wants to sell me the things use must not expect me 10 buy women's publications in or der to read his advertisements. He can catch my eye and my money any day and every day in the week in the daily newspapers and in the business periodicals read.
 And rather think there are a lot. more like me.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-16

This comment is inspired by a little article in a British publication for men which gives the names of the six Iarr- est advertisers in the United States with the amount each spends in a year and ads:
 "As you will notice, four out of the SIX are selling soap. What would hap- pen, wonder, if the men who make cotton goods and lace and steel and machinery, were to become as enter prtsing as the men who make soap."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-16

Yes. the art of advertising has been developed far. But I cannot feel that the whole ground has been covered. Women buyers, as see 1t, are being responsibilities of mere men, buyers have been adequately exploited.

DRIVE TO INCREASE
MILK USE PLANNED
Maryland Dairymen to Use Big
Fund in Campaign in District
and Baltimore.
Snecial Disnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September 1.-Plans
for a campaign to increase the use
of milk in Baltimore and Washington
were discussed at the seventh annual
convention of the Maryland State
Dairymen's Association, held here
Saturday, ard fund of $4,000 or
$4,000 to further the campaign was
pledged.
A dairy council will be established
to develop the dairy industry by in
creaSing the consumption OF milk as
well as working out the economic
problems of milk handling. whereby
the farmer will get more certain
profit and the consumer fuller value
for his money.
According to the report Of the sec
retary, 3O.s15.467 gallons of milk
were marketed during the year. or an
average of STOPS gallons each day,
giving the shippers a cash return for
their product of S6.475,000 for the
year.
The average basic price for per
cent milk received during the year
1922 was 2674 cents per gallon. f. o. b..
city: average for 1923 was % HIP per
gallon, and for 1924, 81 SIS cents per
gallon.
DR.. A. F. Woods, president of the
University of Maryland, addressed
the gathering and told the farmers
that the association now has in readi-
ness for immediate operation a $4,000
plant for handling milk, should any
great surplus develop OF any trouble
be experienced in the present ar
rangement of prompt home distribu-
tion through city dairies. This plant
could be used to manufacture milk
products and thus prevent or reduce
waste

SWEDISH TIMBER TRADE.
Export Sales Show Increase Over
Those in 1928.

The Swedish Economic Review re-
ports that the liveliness which was
observable in the timber industry as
February advanced continued into
the first weeks Of March. but in April
increasing weakness supervened.
About the middle of May it was reck-
oned that sales from Sweden amount
ed to about ATS, 900 standards, as COM
pared with 425,0O0 for the correspond
ing period of 1928.
The position on the wood-pulp
market is peculiar, in that right from
the turn of the year 1923-24 sales for
1924 deliveries have been extraordi-
narily brisk, while prices have re-
manned at a level which cannot be
considered compatible with the po-
sition which Swedish pulp enjoys in
the worlds markets.
At the beginning of May sales of
sulphite. predominately strong sui
phite-the most important Swedish
export quality-were reckoned to
amount to some 100000 tons, CORE
spending to So per cent of the total
of the years disposable production.
AS usual, Great Britain and the Unit
ed States of America have secured the
greatest quantities. but sales have
also been made to the Continent,
though for the most part in smaller
parcels

BIBLE STILL "BEST SELLER. -
Writer Says Fact That There Is a
Demand Provides Best Reason.

Basil King in Harpers Magazine.
At the moment Of writing I read in
the newspapers that the presses
which print the Bible cannot keep
pace with the demand. How did this
demand arise? What maintains it?
Why do people buy and read this
ancient book, when they can buy and
read so much that is newer. fresher,
and. on the surface at least, more
directly suited to their twentieth
century needs,
OF one thing we can be certain,
that unless these books supplied
something which the heart of Europe
and America Graves for its sustenance
no such demand would continue.
Nowhere else in history, to my
knowledge, do we find group of
peoples, extremely diverse among
themselves. appropriating a whole
literature not their own. which they
had no part in producing, and liv-
ing on it as they never live on the
most vital works of their own chill
dren.
The phenomenon calls attention to
itself, and. Is perhaps its own best
explanation.
Demand is always in proportion to
the quality of the supply. That is
all. There is no further mystery 1t
is with the Bible as with everything
else. Where there is that which
meets a need, those who feel the need
will turn to it. No Fictitious senti-
nent would keep the printing presses
of the Bible working overtime No
pietistic or sectarian or ecclesiastical
Indictment could, year in and year
out, support q sale which possibly
equals that Of all the rest of the
books in the world put together.
Life does not work that way.
Nothing is continually and eagerly
bought and paid for which is not
worth it's price to the purchasers.
Deception or overestimation may rule
for time. but it is discovered in
the long run. II in the long run the
demand for any article Is greater
than 1t ever was. we may denend
upon it that there is value in that
article which is not to be found else
where.
There. then, is the basic reason for
the Bibles authority; its value. Make
all the allowances you like for the
unread Bibles on the shelves of
homes, schools. and churches and
there still must remain a vast nnm-
Der of people in the world studvinr
these books and finding in tham
truths essential to their welfare
1t is they who primarily give +o
this volume its right to speak II
10 they who have primarily given the
Bible its power ever since the davs
when the first of these .ni+i,.,.I
classics was singled out as havine a
special quality. :"

WOMAN'S CAUSE HIT"
No Advance Made in Either France
or italy, Saws Writer.
. n-n,oI In H.rper's Magazine

Constance Dre1el in Harpers Magazine.
In the Latin countries-in France
and in Italy, for example-puolic
sentiment is farther away To-Day
from the new conception OF woman
role than at any period since oe1ore
the war-this in spite OF the I'M
netus gained from woman's CO.
operation in the war ara the a.
trde of the men for their help in
winning the bloody struggle, which
n,aced women in the Latin coun-
tries in a strategical position to ask
for and obtain almost anything.
Resides having stood by the men.
the women also had displayed re-
markable and surprising ability. not
only in business management and
in executive positions, but in per-
forming heavy physical labor. Men
could no longer scoff at woman
weakness nor charge her with in
feriority. The war gave woman her
opportunity.
Women, too. even in the Latin
seemed delighted with
their new freedom. So. all in all.
there came a tidal wave in favor of
a wider conception of womar's role
which, six months after the armisuce.
resulted in an overwhelmingly favor
able vote IN the freHcH SHdnpfe ues
Deputies (May, 1919 giving French
women full suffrage rights.
But the Senate has never carried
the measure and finally turned II
dowr. last autumn. Now the pitt
fully small group Of French suffra-
gists have their work to do all over
again, with little prospect of success.
largely due to the indifference of the
French woman herself.
In Italy. though a step has been
taken in MussolinfS proposal grant
ing municipal suffrage to certain
groups of women, the situation Is
practically ar aLalogous.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
ANOTHER KIND OF FOREIGN
BONDS.
Sixty-Third Article.


In a preceding article on the in
vestment rating of foreign govern
ment bonds it was stated that the
the credit of the government con-
cerned AS a rule the only security
the holder of such a bond has Is the
pledged word of the borrowing gov
ernment. This is always true of old
established governments with long
record of financial solvency. There
are, however, some foreign bonds
which are specifically secured by lien
on certain revenues either from
customs or internal taxes Of one kind
or another. In some cases representa-
tives of the bankers who make the
loan in the first instance have direct
supervision of the collection OF these
revenues.
The recently issued Hungarian loan
is an example. This loan is secured
by a first charge on the revenues from
the customs, the sugar tax and the
tobacco monopoly and these revenues
as collected are paid into special
account controlled by a commissioner
general appointed by the League OF
Nations who represents the bondhold-
erS. Whenever any such arrangement
is made it Is possible to compare the
total receipts from the pledged reve-
nues with the interest requirements
of the loan and in this way judge OF
the margin of safety In much the
same fashion as a bondholder scans
the earning statement of corpora
tion in the securities of which he Is
| interested. Provisions of this kind
add to the attractiveness of a foreign
bond whenever there is any reason to
regard the risk as unusually great.
Certain Central and South American
bonds have been marketed success
fully because payment was secured
by some such pledge. More rarely a
foreign bond issue is guaranteed by
other governments. The most notable
instance Of this kind is the Austrian
I per cent loan put out in 1928. This
issue is not only secured by pledges
of certain customs and internal reve-
nue. receipts, but is guaranteed in
specified proportions by the principal
governments of Europe. obviously
such a guarantee adds greatly to the
mark etability of a foreign govern
ment obligation.
There are also certain foreign
bonds, not government issues. but
loans of railroads, utility or indus
trial companies which have been sold
in this country because of the guar
antee of their own government They
vary greatly in merit. Two bonds
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
change of very high investment
rating belong in this classification.
They are obligations of the Canadian
Northern Railway, owned by the gov
ernment of Canada, which guarantees
the bonds by Endorsement. Their
credit depends, then, not upon the
railway, but upon that of the Cana
dian government. Issues Of this ma
ture must be judged by the standing
of the guarantor

OAKLAND, Md, September T.
Four men were arrested by Sheriff
Johas Yutzy in connection with a
series OF robberies at Bittinger and
Oakland during the past several
weeks. They gave their names as
Frank. J. H., and John Fiddler and
George Burkholder. and their resi-

The men were given hearing be-
fore Magistrate E. /. West, and held in
sums ranging from $1,000 to $1,500
for their appearance at the Circuit
Court. The men were apprehended
on a blind road, when they were
pursued and forced to turn back, in

1t is thought that the arrests will
solve the series OF robberies at homes,
IN farms and at stores in Bittinger
and in Oakland.

Sources of Wealth.
From the Kansas citv Times

FfOm the hanSaS City Times.
President Coolidge says that the
sole source of national wealth is
thrift and industry, and the sole sup
ply of the public treasury is the toll
of the people," That may sound like
a novel and radical doctrine to some
to whom thrift. industry and toll are
not at all inviting. These take the
view that the real source of wealth
is the, national treasury itself, and
that everything necessary to bring
about an equitable distribution of
that wealth is generous legislation by
Congress to give each group what 1t
demands for itself.
