THE NEW PAPER MONEY
lWinsfow Maill

If the new size of paper money is
going to be less expensive to the gov
ernment, then let us have it, by all
means. Economy above all. The size
of the money is of small Importance.
The problem is to get some of any
kind. Of money Many Of US will never
know they have changed the size Of
the bills for we haven't had any in SO
long that we've forgotten the present
size, and the prospect of getting any
of the new size is so remote that it
is not worth getting concerned about.
An interesting sidelight of the
change was mirrored by designer for
one of the large leather goods manu-
facturers. She was asked if the
change in the size of the bills would
effect the bill folds, pocketbooks, etc
She said that it wouldn't because the
dollar bill was the least important
thing in woman's purse now. II
seems that the compact, mirror, lip
stick, handkerchief, hairpin, cigaret
box, keys, stamps and address book
come first in determining the size OF
the pocketbook affairs now used.
AS far as mems billfolds are con.
cerned they will remain the same size
because other compartments are usec
for licenses, identification cards, etc.
that will remain the same. So far as
we can see, the size of the bills car
shrink without causing a social ano
manufactory revolution.

A DEVICE OF SATAN
(Tucson Star)

While the world is ringing with
praise for American airmen who have
crossed the Atlantic in less than two
days it must not be forgotten that oul
newly sprouted wings have scarcely
lost their down, although their
framework is stout. 1t was only
twenty-five years ago that the Wright
brothers made their first experiments
with heavier-than-air machines.
But stranger than the development
in aircraft that has come during the
past quarter of century is the
mental development that has pro-
gressed during the past ninety-nine
years. From the Valdosta (Georgia)
Times we read:
Someone has dug up the records
of the Lancaster, Ohio, school board
back in 1928. In these records there
is an account of proposed debate
as to whether railroads were

THE POWER OF PUBLICITY

There are narrow-minded individuals who
claim that the cost of publicity is not legitimate
expense of public service corporations Publicity
which encourages the widest use of an article is
the most potent influence to reduce the expense
Of that article to the consuming public. Without
publicity, the demand for an article is small and
the cost of production is high. With proper pub
icity the demand for an article becomes universal
and the cost of production drops to minimum.
That is why Americans enjoy the best public
utility service in the world-utility companies are
consistent users of advertising space. They have
acquainted the people with every phase of their
business and shown them the advantages of us
ing electricity, gas, the telephone and street rail-
way service. Their success is an outstanding ex-
ample of the fact that advertising does pay when
applied to an article or service of merit.

Daniel Webster is conceded to have
been one of Americas greatest or
ators, but writer's of his time tell of a
singular habit the statesman had that
made it wearisome to listen to his
ordinary speech.
He persisted in cropping after the
most suitable. word and continued try
ing one synonym after another until
he found the one that suited him best.
On one occasion members of a COM
mittee wriggled their toes, squirmed
in their chairs and drummed impa-
tient fingers while trying to listen po-
litely to a speech, of which the follow
ing is merely the beginning:
why is it,, Mr.. Chairman, that
there has gathered, congregated, come
together here, this great number of
inhabitants dwellers;. thate these
roads, avenues, routes Of travel, high
ways converge, meet, come together
