CITY SALESMANSHIP.

Statesmen know the value OIL
good clothing. They can apprecl
ate that we'll dressed man has q
chance of gaining respect, then
confidence, and of making sale
They know that their chances OF
selling more goods is greater than
such chances would be if they
failed to dress we'll. Their char
acter is judged by their appear
ance.
And so a city is judged by its
appearance. If it is not dressed
up, it will not sell itself to those
who pass through it. If it's streets
are dirty, strangers will take the
attitude that it's people are
careless people, that they are
negligent. And who can blame
them?
Clean streets, clean sidewalks,
well kept curbing, bright shop
windows, all serve to sell city
to strangers. They will remember
the town, maybe not it's name,
but its location.
Efforts to keep the streets in
some kind of a clean condition
have been made here. Rubbish
containers have been placed in
various sections. They should be
used.

GUARD AGAINST DROWN INGS.

Pointing out that there have
have been more than $500 drown
fnngs iitH New Jersey in the last
five years, the State Department
of Health has issued a bulletin
urging that all children be taught
to swim and that every care be
exercised by bathers and others
while in or on the water.
The health officials have also
come to the defense of swimming
pools in public schools. They de
clare that criticism leveled ag
ainst them is unfair and without
appreciation of their benefits.
New Jersey, with its many
miles of excellent beach, bays and
harbors, will, of course, always
have many accidental drownings,'
It. is explained. "a large number
Of the deaths occur to men who
follow the water for a livelihood.
ut is estimated, however, that
drownings due in part to working
near the water total less than
one-third of all deaths from this
cause. If deaths from drowning
are ever to be reduced. it will be
due to the efforts Of parents and
others TO first see that children
under their supervision can swim
and that they do not indulge in
foolish acts of daring"

FEWER JUNE MARRIAGES.

Marriage licenses issued in the
month just closed show a decrease
the country over, compared with
the same month last year. Cupid,
o. course, is not to blame for the
situation and he probably is not
as cautious as he may be given
credit for being in some quarters.
A probable reason for the stu
alton is the lack of homes for the
newly-weds, 1t is likely that ma
ny who are working steadily, and
are not only willing but eager to
assume matrimonial bonds, are
deferred by the fact that they can
have no home to go to following
the ceremony, It is the dream of
every brides heart to have a lit
tie nest to fix up and attend to
and be mistress of. Marriage
changes lives of the newly marri-
ed to a degree scarcely realized
even by those who have long
known the welded state and one
of the changes is an intense de-
sire experienced by the bride and
bridegroom to have a home of
their own.
Couples long welded are prone
to forget the joys they experience
ed in fitting up their first home.
They think of their early strug-
giles and forget all about the tri-
umphant feeling that came with
each addition that tended to in
crease the comfortableness of
their abode. The newly-weds,
however, look forward to all such
little occurrences, enjoy the ella
ton of achievement, which they
later will recall only as strug-
gle, but still feeling satisfied with
themselves because they made the
effort and were successful.

 QUARRELS ENSUED

SEATTLE, June 29. P)-Lieut. C. B. Eielson said the disagreements be- tween Captain George Wilkins and Major Lanphier characterized the un- dertaking. The first quarrel occurred at Fairbanks, the second at Point Barrow, and obviously enough, the third will be in Detroit. Eielson pre- dicted that when Lanphier appears be- fore the Detroit Aviation Society he will seek to command another expe- dition.
 'Lanphier knows flying, but not so much about the Arctic. Wilkins knows the Arctic but next to nothing about aviation,' said Eielson. That was the basis of their disagreement. At times they wouldn't speak to each other and on one occasion, I thought they were coming to blows. I played a photograph and listened to the bat tie. There is much to be said Err both sides" he concluded.

 ON LIQUOR DISTRIBUTION

MONTREAL, June 29. P-A de- tailed study of the Canadian Govern. ment's system of liquor distribution and control will be made as the re- suit of the New Tor kreferendum con- troversy. The system is now being tried out in five of Canada's prov lnces. The one in Quebec, however, is the one which has been made an issue in the New York State cleo. tions. The methods used in the oth- CT four provinces are at variance with each other just as the Quebec sys- tenn is variation from the long fam ed Swedish system.
