MAY COMPLETE CHURCH
Building Started Over 250 Years 20, May Be Finished

Paris, Feb. GA Paris church begun over 250 years ago. but never finished. has at last 8 chance of be- ing completed after the original plans. Between 1850 and 170O work was begun on the church of Saint Nicholas Du Chardonnet, in St. Tic- tor street, with the painter Le Brun as architect. Want of funds put a stop to building and the church, without front, has stood for years, a mournful and dilapidated object. m A mutual benefit society now plans to erect g. magnificent office just opposite the church, but hesi- tates as the unfinished old building would be an eyesore. Completion of Le Bruins plans would cost 100000 francs, but the municipal council, although more than usually em- barrassed for funds, has the matter under consideration.

NEWSPAPERS BEST
 PUBLICITY MEDIUM
Advertising Specialists and Press Agents Should Be Avoided

San Francisco. Feb. 6,--The gas companies of America should be- ware the publicity specialist and shun all that savers of press agent ing, propaganda. or seeking free space puffery. axd tell their story to the public through the advertising columns of the local newspapers, &C., cordIng to E. J. Mullaney vice. president of the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company of Chicago, in an address prepared for delivery here today before the mid-winter meeting of the American Gas Asso- citation.
 Speaking on the topic, Public Relations" Mir. Mullaney reminded his hearers that they should not only give good service, but advertise the fact openly in their newspapers. Good public relations" he said, "are established by making our re- spective companies and their service worthy of being well thought of, and by telling our customers, the public, all about our companies and service in detail, every detail that can pos sibly concern or interest them, De- ing the first will not take you far if the second is not done and persist ently done, as often and as much as circumstance swill permit.
 "On the othe rhand, silence Is easily mistaken for secrecy; secrecy breeds suspicion, and suspicion, if not checked, soon ripens into hos tility. Thus public. relations may become bad, even when the service is good. It has happened.
 There should be no room in the gas industry for the so-called pub licity specialist. He serves no pur- pose except to get easy money. We should make all the use ws can of the other kind of publicity which frankly recognizes that clam-like attitude Is oftener evidence of stu pidfty than of wisdom; that a policy of secrecy implies the existence oi much that one doesn't dare tell; that favorable public opinion is { better revenue-producer than mon opoly, and that elimination of sl' lence and secrecy is the first steI toward letting public opinion be- come favorable" ..
 Mir. Mullaney said the public doe' not yet entirely realize how the ga: business and all public utility bust ness Is utterly unlike other business es in certain fundamentals. WheI the customer wants gas he wants i instantly, even though several hun dred thousand others may want it a the same time. This instant re sponse is expected from nobody else butcher, baker or candlestick maker he said. They take their time il serving. The gas and other utilit companies do not and cannot.
 "In the matter of rates, the. GUS timer is apt to think we want then as high as possible. He does no reason, until we point it out. tha our interest lies in having rates low as possible so that use of otl product may be stimulated and mas production fostered."
 Employes as a factor in publi relations should not be overlooked Mir. Mullaney said, because they ar the chief points of contact betwee the company and the customers.

This is believed to mark an epoch in radio transmission. Until quite recently 1t was assumed that great distances could only be spanned by means of long wave lengths.
