A. B. [. TALKER ON
 ENGLAND'S AD MEN
Harn Says Advertisers Are Far
 Behind the Times

Chicago, Oct. 17,--England still Is In bib and high-cheir so far as sci- entinc application of Inc force of ad- vertising Is concerned. said 0. c. IIarn Of New York, president of the Audit Bureau Of circulations in his annual address prepared for deliv- cry today.
 American publishers and agencies should be .vitally interested in see- ing an efficient circulation verifca- ton system established abroad, he said, speaking on his observations during the convention in London Of the Associated Advertising clubs of the world.
 'I found" he continued, that there were British advertisers who are being deterred from entering the American market through sd- vertising because they were afraid. They know how much of gamble 1t is at home to get the right me dium at the right price and know ing the great size of our country and 
 Canada, they shrink from taking the gamble here.
 Responsibility Is generally a so- bering, burden to the former rad ical. The advertiser assumed re- sponsibility when he begins to ih- fuence the minds of millions. We must see 10 it that he realizes it. Advertising is no plaything to be used irresponsibly, but great force which should be used and directed with cool calculation, with outw aste, and with high sense of regard for the rights and best in- terests of all concerned, the men who invest their money in media, the men who use the media and the great public who put their faith in the message" =
