Imperfect Merchandise
Truthfully Advertised

Frankness and candor are two elements of effec-
tive as we'll as truthful advertising. Progressive
merchants advertise not only the truth but the
whole truth.
No better example of these facts is to be seen
than in the advertising Of imperfect, irregular or
second merchandise by stores cooperating with
the Better Business Bureau. If you notice these
advertisements state prominently-in the headlines
of the item-that the goods are seconds" "rregu-
lars" or Imperfect"
Thoughtful shoppers know that oftentimes they
can obtain very valuable merchandise at rare
price by buying imperfects seconds. Adver-
Users in presenting such merchandise to the pub
lie do not use unknown terms such as factory
rejects" ''substandard," but-co-operating with
this Bureau for confidence-inspiring advertising
let the public know the exact state of the goods.
Among its other activities the Better Business
Bureau makes continual check to protect the pub
lie against imperfect merchandise advertised
without stating in prominent manner that it is
not perfect This check has the support of lead
ing advertisers means of building good will
for advertising.

Flight Made Daily
Flights are made at about a. m.
daily, and reach height of at
least 1900 meters. The data OBJ
tanned are available to the fore
caster by $50 a. m. and include
the temperature and relative hui
midity at various elevations, and
many supplementary notes, such
as visibility, cloud heights, thick
ness, etc.
The Marvin meteorograph, which
il used for regular kite flying, is
being employed for this work. Il
is mounted in a specially con-
structed iron frame on the top OF
the upper wing of the plane and
is therefore well exposed and I'M
affected by heat from the motor.
Benefits Seen
The practical benefits to be de-
rived by having available these
free-air records of temperature and
humidity, in addition to the free.
air wind movements obtained by
using pilot balloons, are obvious.
Airplanes have distinct advan.
tages over kites in this work in
that they can be used in Gains and
very light winds, and require less
time to complete a, flight, a most
important consideration if the data
obtained are to be effectively used
in current forecasting weather.

Definite assurance from Presi-
dent Coolidge that General L. C,
Andrews, prohibition car; will
have a free hand in recognizing
the enforcement system will not
eliminate exertion of political in-
fluence aimed at building a dry
machine along specifications salts
factory to Congressional leaders.
This was evident today when
prohibition &c. H. O." at the
Treasury was thronged with visi-
tors who were clamoring for an
audience with Andrews. They
wanted to tell him why this or
that Individual should be made q
prohibition administrator and the
reasons for a gerrymander of
districts.
Several Senators Call.
Several Senators, whose names
were not disclosed. called Andrews
office for appointments next week.
At that time they will put in their
claims for political patronage in
certain districts.
Although the Treasury hav aban-
doned hope that the reorganization
can be accomplished independent Of
the advice OF Congressional leaders.
Andrews again today contended that
he is not embarrassed by politicians
who he declared were making no
demands along with their sugges-
tons.
While the war council did not
hold an official meeting its members
attacked the problem of estimating
the cost Of the now prohibition
system.
If possible expenditures will be
kept within the approximate s1O.-
00O, 900 contemplated for prohibition
enforcement in the year ending
next June.
Force of 5000 Planned
With about $500 persons now
making up the prohibition establish
81, 900 to $4,000 annually. the new
machine will be cut to under 5000
individuals, if possible They will
draw higher salaries.
Four prohibition administrators,
according to the present plan, will
get $500, while others will be
placed in three classes drawing
somewhat less.
Under the administrators will
come enforcement and administra-
tive experts, legal authorities,
chemists and trained criminal in
vestigators. The Treasury admitted
that these specialists cannot be OBJ
tanned for the salaries now paid
in the prohibition unit.
Andrews believes that the money
saved by reducing personnel will be
sufficient to meet higher salaries
for the new unit.
More Time Required
Men of the class who aided the
Government during the war at 81
per year are not responding to the
call for volunteers to enforce pro-
hibition.
Out Of over 1000 applications for
prohibition administrators posts it
: IL said that only two or three Of
the recognized Isl per year class"
have offered their services.
Officials at the Treasury said that
the postponement Of the date when
the new prohibition control will
take effect does not indicate any
serious barriers to the new plan.
1t was explained a problem has
developed somewhat more far-reach-
ing that was first anticipated and
consequently more time will be re-
quired TO build a machine adequate
