DELIVERS "AD" ADDRESS.
Col. Leroy Heron Boosts Purchas-
ing Power of Washingtonians.

THE average purchasing power of the
individual in Washington is among the
highest in the United States" said Col.
Leroy w. Heron, advertising manager
of The Star, in an address on advertis-
ing yesterday before the evening class
in journalism at George Washington
University.
He then told of the scientific basis on
winch advertising was handled by
manufacturers and merchants with the
assistance of statistical matter provided
Dy the newspapers. In this way adVer-
tiScrS We're able to determine their
chances in the market and probable de-
mand for their particular goods among
the people of the city
Col. Heron explained the inSiStence
on the part of the newspaper, supported
by the Better Business Bureau, that adj
vcrtiSing should be clean. and should
not contain any fraudulent or mislead-
ing statements. All complaints of viola
ttonS of this rule were promptly inveSti-
gated. AS to the attitude of the paper
he said
THE readers are our readers they
have been developed by our paper. they
belong to us and not to the advertisers,
and they are entitled to our prots Ition
when they read our columns"
He explained that circulation, advCr-
tising and news went hand in hand,
that better news produced larger cir
culatiOn and that larger circulation
meant Il higher advertising rate and
more advertising. Nevertheless, he de-
clared, there was no interference be-
tween these departments of newspaper
publishing.

Cancel Taxes.

With some exceptions the pro-
posed measure granting greater au-

claimed to hc Il dangerous power to

1t was amended to read that "the
reasons for such action be placed in

The section relating to the grant
ing Of power to cancel taxes and to

school Board Discussion.
Discussion of the advisability of
allowing the appointment of the
members of the board of education
by the Commissioners resulted in an
argument.
1t was pointed out that the school
board has been loyal to District cit
liens. but with District domination
the board would cease to exist in
anything other than name. Mr.. Stull
said the present school heads had
been more ri sponsive to the wishes
of the people than any previous
board.
Opposition was voiced to appro-
priating funds for placing of i'm
provements in public buildings. when
District appropriations should be
used for this purpose. 1t was said
that the electric lights recently in
stalled in the Peabody, Hilton and

Mr. Bollinger, in conversation, said

He stated, however, that these should
be produced in far greater quantities
in order to insure the prices which
should and could be paid.
During his travels he has visited

much pleased with the conditions, the
