ADVERTISING REDUCES
EXPENSE

Liberal use of advertising has
contributed to make low rates possi-
Bile and has shortened by one-half the
time necessary to attain the present
stage of electrical development in the
United States" says w. H. Hodge,
manager of the Advertising Depart
ment of the Byllesby Engineering and
Management Corporation of Chicago.
collectively the third largest in
dustry in the country, the utilities
should be large advertisers. 1t is es-
timated that they are spending today
an amount equal to about one-half of
l per cent of their gross revenue in
this way. From 65 to IS per cent of
their total advertising expenditures
are with the newspapers.
"About one-third of the utility's ad-
vertising dollar is spent for selling
appliances and is charged to sale
price of merchandise. One-third goes
for sale of securities on customer
ownership plan and is an investment
expense. One-third is used to build
up service output and explain the
business and its affairs and is charge
able to operating expenses. This last
third is equivalent to about I miles
on average monthly bill for electric
service and is so small it cannot pos
siblv add to rates.
advertising keeps down and re-
duces rates by creating market value
which in turn permits the economies
of mass production and lower distri-
button expense"

A Tribute to the Late Reuben
EnlOw.

Rev. c. W. Hudson, at one time
pastor Of a Baptist church in Garrett
county, but now located at Syringa,
Va, as pastor of the Harmony Grove
Baptish church, pays the following
tribute to the memory of the late Reu-
ben Enlow, whose death occurred re-
Gently at his home near Hoyes, Gar
rett county:
| wish to express my appreciation
of one of the noblest men Garrett
county ever produced-Reuben Enlow,
of Hoyes. He was just a plain, un-
assuming mountain farmer with a
heart of gold who lived a plain Chris
tian life before his fellow men and in
the sight Of God. l first met him
twenty years ago last May when l
came to Garrett county, total stran-
ger to the mountains and to the
mountain people. l shall never forget
his kindly greeting and pleasant smile
when he welcomed me to his home
and freside, and through the seven
years of my stay in the mountains

wife. He served as deacon for many
years in Deep Creek and Elder Hill

WALKING FOR HEALTH

Before walking became practically
an abandoned method of getting
about, not to say lost art, four miles
an hour, for one hour or two, was
nothing uncommon, but four miles
an hour for eleven hours would have
been remarkable in any period. Yet
this feat has just been accomplished
by Miss Eleanora Sears, who feeily
journeyed afoot from Providence, R.
l., to Beacon street, Boston, in eleven
hours-a distance of A miles. OF
course it was no whim Of the moment.
She is in training from continuing
exercise on the road during a con-
siderable period.
The art of tie primitive man,
which has been recovered by Miss
Sears, could also be acquired in con-
siderable measure by the rest of us
if we cared more for health than for
convenience and luxury Nature in
tended that man should use his legs.
and the dancing Of the few indoors
can not take the place of what ali
need in the open. "Walking," say the
New York Times, in reference to Miss
Sears, "is the one universal art to
save the race from physical degen-
eracy. Millions are daily yielding to
the temptation of wheels when they
would be better off physically, not to
say financially, if they accepted the
transportation of their own feet"
But in this automobile age it is
not merely that we are too lazy but
that we are too proud, or too lacking
IN courageous Indifference to the
opinion of others. The "open road"
of old is no more. We dislike to face
either pitying glances from hand
some limousines or generous offers of
lift from working people in their
fivvers. For is has virtually come to
this, that people are now supposed to
walk, not from preference, but only
from inescapabIe necessity.

Verdict of Protestant Epis-

Action of the House of Bishops in

the Protestant Episcopal Church in
New Orleans was defended by Rev.

the outstanding features of the gath
ering.

Smith in his sermon, has full liberty
to hold whatever views he wishes on
religion, but when he takes an oath
to teach certain truths in return tor
certain privileges conferred upon him
to that extent he forfeits his liberty
He can readily have it restored to
him by retiring from his position.
DR.. Smith said that contrary to
general expectation" the deposlng OF
Bishop Brown was accomplished in a
very short while and without any SEN
sational features marking it. "All
the bishops had to do was to confirm
the findings of the ecclesiastical court
which had found Bishop Brown guilty
of heresy." he explained.

Army. A court artial would take
place in short order. Even an ordi-
nary citizen who has taken no oath
of loyalty or service. but who pro
poses to traduce the Constitution,
would find it advisable before doing
so to travel to some other country
while the going was good"

proposal created more public interest
than any other single subject sched-
uled to be brought before the con

the flow of argument would require
from one to three days by each house.
DR.. Smith paid tribute to the 'un-

MARYLAND as the first primate of the
American Church chosen by the free
