TODAY, when we see girls go.
Il ing about with boyish hair
cuts and Knockers and knee-length

And the story by which the gsOvefhmcnt agents
explain this wholesale slaughter is also familiar
Operating officials Of the railroad had been com.
planning that trains were failing to make scheduled
time.
The subordinate officials To whom these com.
plants came turned upon the men who ran the
trains and nagged them. The demand for speed
says the safety bureau, resulted in the subordinate
officials continually talking with the train and en-.

The result of this train Of irritabty apparently
is that the men who the fatal train on Septem.

speed, with the consequence that the train ran of

That is all too high price for speed, which isn't

Newspaper Advertising

From numbers Of surveys recently conducted
throughout the United States find that an aver.
age Of 9S per cent of the readers CT a newspape:
are regular readers of the advertisements and a
such arc potential customers Of the advertiser. In
other words, the man who newspaper advertis-
ing regularly as he would his store window sets
before an interested populace the details and the
selling arguments that he might otherwise have to
employ over the counter after the people had entered
the establishment.
The pulling value Of newspaper advertising is
limited only by the wisdom with WHICH it is used
tbs form Of advertising has been reduced to al
most an exact science. Certain rules govern the
v4ue OF newspaper advertising and if these rules
are known and the advertiser has originality he can
pub his message across.
At any rate, the newspaper does it's part. That
m2eh has been proved The newspaper carries the
message to Garcia and it is not the fault Of the
newspaper If the advertiser has failed to recognize
those rules which govern successful advertising and
wteh produce results.
