IF ADVERTISING SHOULD
CEASE

William Allen White, the Kansas
editor. recently told the New York
Advertising club that if advertis-
ing should cease 'the slow de-
cay and ultimate collapse of the
entire world would follow
Strong words. but White means
what he says. Advertising is so
closely linked with the things we
buy as to become a very integral
part of our commerce and cul-
ture. as we'll as a source Of infor-
nation and advice.
Advertising is the greatest help
a sound product could have. AT
the same time the faulty product
falls by the same medium.
With competition. of course,
there are bound to be evils-the
evils of untruth and exaggeration.
But these are, after all. evils Of
the system and not advertising.
The system itself is the source of
the advertising. and advertising
helps the system to flourish.
Competition destroys the unde-
sirable and advertising helps in
that process, speeding up the elm
nation of what is unfit.-Helena

great and mutual advantage of
dropping the rate 5 or 6 cents on

to promise anything over a 2-cent

IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL
(5y Stephen James,

The mountain moonshiner, he of
the romantic days before the Vol
stead act. who made his corn liz
nor up a "holler" or ravine, from
products of his own raising, at
last has come into his own.
In the old days. according to the
h~air-raising thrillers in the fiction
magazines. the moonshiner stirred
mash with one hand while the
other rested on his trusty rifle
pointed toward the "revenooers."
Now ne is receiving much less at
tention. proportionately, since his
city brother has decided to emu-
late his example.
And 10 less an authority than
General Lincoln G. Andrews, as
sistant Secretary of the Treasury
and chief prohibition enforcement
officer. says that mountain dew
is probably the purest intoxicant
to he had. "the only genuine liq-

The life of a dollar bill hereafter
will be from sixteen to eighteen
months. instead of the nine or ten
months which it formerly served
as exchange.
The Bureau OF Engraving also
contemplates a giant laundry

in circulation. This system was in
use to a degree before the war,
but the paper and dyes used since

1t is a curious fact that the city
of Washington, metropolis OF mon
uments and memorials, has no
stone or tablet within its borders
to commemorate the memory OF
the man who laid it out.
Major Peter Charles L'Enfant,
the young civil engineer whom
George Washington commissioned
in 1777 to lay ont the Capital City,
is not remembered by the city
that he helped so greatly to es-
tablish. over in Arlington GENE
terry is 4 stone that recalls the
memory Of the man who planned
the Capital, but within the pre-
cincts of the District of Columbia
itself. not a slab Of stone nor
bronze tablet can be found to pay
him honor.
Presently the Fine Arts Com
mission and the National Park and
Planning Commission intend to
rectify this omission. They will
begin the work Of erecting some
fitting memorial to this famous
son Of France whose dream Of a
model city is now exemplifed in
steel and stone.
And yet the mightiest monument
TO the great craftsman will al
ways remain one of his own crea-
ton. that OF the city itself.

Lincoln's personal physician, DR..
Joshua r. Hayes. failed TO achieve
his lifetime ambition. He wanted
to live to be 100 years OF age.
DR.. Hayes died a short while ago
at his home in Washington just
before he reached his ninety-sixth
birthday, which would have fallen
on Christmas day. Aside from
having been personal physician to
Lincoln, he had at least n other
claim to distinction. The old ply
Stefan was the Oldest graduate of
the University OF Pennsylvania.
Or. Hayes retired 20 years ago as
medical examiner of the Pension
office, but until a short while be-
fore his death appeared hale and
hearty. He smoked continually.
and read the newspapers without
the aid of glasses.

Whenever "Reminiscences in socie.

Of Queen Marie. as it often does,
the talk invariably gets around
to Betty the black cocker spaniel
dog with a taste for ladies' ankles.
Betty. it seems. was no respecter

property OF a lesser parsonage it
is likely she would have worn a

The black dog upset royal de-
corum something scandalous, but
she won the redOubled affections
of her mistress when she slowed
away on the boat leaving Paris
that bore her Roumanian majesty
to this country. Thereafter Betty
was a part of the Queens entour-
age. and more than one society
matron can claim the distinction,
dubious. of having been nipped on
the ankles by the Queens dog.

24-Muscles Must Not Be Tense.
Perhaps the worst error, certain
ly the commonest, in the average
golf swing is the tensing or stiffen-
ing of the muscles. Much of that
stiffness is in the hands and wrists
but by far the greater part is in
the legs.
There is no wish in the above to
minimize that coordination of mus
cles that eliminates in the timing,
when the club and ball 7 in on
tacf. There is the very decided
wish, however, to emphasize the
fact that tense muscles are not eff
feetive muscles when it comes to
making the golf swing. With the
rest of the swing going properly,
there a be no such thing as what
is known as pressing Until the
forward swing is well on its way.
there should be no feeling Of stiff
ness and very little of muscular ex-
ertion. In tie latter half Of the
forward swing, with everything go
ing right, no harm will be done in
using every particle of your avail
able strength. The harm comes in
applying muscle too soon often on
fhe back swing, where there is no
need of exertion other than to lift
the club back into the right posi-
ton.
Lone Of fhe reasons, then, for a
