WHAT ADVERTISING DOES

America has the best life on this
earth because 1t has the best adver
tised life. says Colonel W. G.. Edens
OF the Public Relations Commission
American Bankers Association. He
goes on: american health is the best
in the world because American peo-
pie are best informed in the ways and
habits OF health. largely through ad-
vertislng. American business is the
largest and most successful in the
world because II uses advertising the
most. American business men enlarge
their business institutions in proper.
ton as they advertise them Ameri-
can buyers become more shrewd in
spending their money in proportion
as they read advertisements.
"The press OF the United States Is
regarded by many as the most power.
ful OF our institutions. II must be
numbered with the schools and the
churches as one of the trinity OF most
powerful creators OF knowledge and
patriotism.
Advertising Is what Il II today
largely because Of the power and sue.
cess Of the daily paper. Nevertheless.
II is true that the daily paper is az
successful as It Is today because of
advertising.
The banking business has been ben.
Gifted largely by advertising within
the last dozen or nfteen years Bank.
Ing institutions have done more ad.
vertIsinr than ever before. They have
Installed advertising departments
which scquaint their communities
with facts formerly regarded In tn.
light OF institutional secrets. The
banker publishes facts which build up
confidence In his Institution.
"The result has been that millions
OF people who formerly would not
place their money in the care OF bank.

Hundreds Of millions u dollars have

LOST AN AlRsHlp BARGAIN
ey Mistake In Orders United states
Failed to Get Zeppelin for
$4,000 IN 1918.

The United States army nearly 70,
possession of Zeppelin of l0O,0oo
cubic meters content in the closing
months of 1918. Immediately after the
armistice, and the officer who cleverly
put through the deal was Mai William
n. HenSley, now in the army air serv-
ice and the commander AT Mitchell
field, New York.
Major Hensley fairly weeps when
spoken to of the Incident, for at the
price the Germans then agreed to take
for the leviaihan OF the air the army
would have secured property worth
millions for exactly $4,000 1t was
to have been cash transaction at the
then prevailing rates OF exchange, for
Hensley had been given the money to
pay for the airship.
AT the time Major Hensley was act
ing upon orders directly from the Wer
department In Washington. but by
some mistake the general staff OF the
American Expeditionary Force in
France had not been informed of his
mission, Nevertheless, he closed with
the Germans, secured their signatures
TO a contract, and delivery would have
been made but for the reported loquac-
Ity of some one in the encourage OF a
high American officer in Paris Ger
tain of the allies thus learned of the
contract and protests We're filed
through the State department, and
America lost the greatest of airship
bargains. 1t is not unlikely but that
the "slip-up" will have airing in the
next congress.
Not one word will I say for publi-
cation or otherwise upon this old Yep
pelln matter" said Major Hensley the
other day when asked for the details

noses broken and reset in different

downward, as the fancy dictates. This
necessitates a complete removal OF
