THE FULL PAGE AID

AS the newspaper man looks over
exchanges coming from various
parts of the country, he is Impress
ed with the great use that is being
made of advertising. The advertis-
ing space used in newspapers has
greatly increased.
Take the big city dailies, for in
stance. If you took the newspaper
which before the war used to run an
average of about 16 pages, the chan
ces are that that paper will be run
ming today from "a pages to 30. The
enlargement is not primarily due to
the use of more news, though the
space given to reading matter has
increased. The big share of the in-
crease is due to advertising.
1t is interesting also to see how
many concerns and interests there
are that are taking big ads of half
page or full page, or two pages. The
fact that so many concerns are will
ling to put up the money for this
big display shows how thoroughly
standardized advertising has become
and how much it is depended upon
for results by those who use it per-
sistently and with judgment. For
tunes are being made every day thru
advertising, and by this means
multitude of business men are ris-
ing out of small and inferior posi-
tons into leadership in the bust
ness community.

THIS FALL IN MILFORD STORES

Milford merchants are much ahead
of the average in cities of this size
in announcing a regular fall open
ing in the manner in which they
have chosen and on the scale which
they have adopted as the best meth
cd. The fall and winter season, re-
plete with it's merchandising oppor-
tunities, is often ushered in grad
ually without announcement, with
no inducements other than those
ordinarily found peculiar to the
community.
But not so here. This issue of the
Chronicle is teeming with special
buying offers made at time when
buying is most necessary and repre-
senting most of those items which
every family is forced to acquire at
this particular time of year. And
not only are the items seasonable
and other attractions overbalancing
to a foreign competitor, but the
great trade event of the year, the
annual gift campaign, is opening.
This in itself is not an ordinary
feature-it is made extraordinary
by its relation to the community and
the eagerness with which the people
as well as the tradesmen look for
ward to it.
So, the fall season is here in
spirit as we'll as in fact. 1t is open
ed by mercantile offerings that may
not have equals during the remain
der of the year. The "saddest of
the year" time for shoppers may
have a different aspect. And Mil
ford is given an opportunity from
today forth to choose seasOnable
merchandise from stocks that quail
ify as to quantity and high stand
ard. 1t is your opportunity to profit |
as well as that of your business
friend. And it is your duty, other
things being equal, to give your
home merchant that which he has
every right to expect. Start the fall |
season with him.

THE CHURCH IN POLITICS

The blame for making prohibition
a partisan, political issue in this
campaign lies on the doorstep Of
Alfred E. Smith and nobody else.
For months, the temperance
forces and the churches which
foresaw the determination of the
Tammany machine to force prohibi-
ton into the partisan arena pro-
tested increasingly.
Thirty-two temperance organiza-
tions warned. both political parties
against such an eventuality.
Committees waited upon both po-
litical conventions to contend that
prohibition should remain outside
the realm of politics.
The Democratic Convention so
decided and wrote that decision into
its platform.
Alfred E. Smith and none other
spurned that decision of the Demo-
cratic Convention and forced the is
sue into the campaign.
Now when the churches meet the
issue on the field of battle chosen
by Governor Smith himself, they
are accused of taking the church
into politics."
The contemplate hypocrisy of
such a charge is only equalled by
the outrage of having made the is
sue partisan.

PARENTS AND SCHOOLS
THIS MEANS YOU

THIS MEANS YOU
There are certain things that par
ents must do, to get the best re-
suits for the children from their
schools. They should get over the
idea that they can buy education
with their tax money as they buy
groceries at a store. They may be
able to call up a store and get all
the groceries delivered without eff
fort on their part, but they can't
get the best education for their
children in that way. They have to
put some personal thought and eff
fort into it. There are a number of
things that must be done here in
Milford if we want the best quality
of schools.
First, the parents must support
the discipline of the school. When
difficulties occur between teachers
and pupils, in most cases the teach
err is right. She is simply trying to
make the children work, while in
many cases they are too indolent or
too much absorbed in their fun. If
families encourage the children to
take a defiant and rebellious atti-
tude, not merely the work of those
particular children is hurt, but the
discipline of the whole schoolroom
is injured.
Second, if there are cases where
are at fault, and they are
human and make mistakes like the
rest of us, nothing should be said
to the children to that effect. The
parents should quietly and reason
ably discuss the questions at issue
with the teacher, or possibly with
the superintendent or school board.
Most of these difficulties can be
out with a little con-
Third, parents must take some
pains to find out about modern edu-
cational ideas, and back up such
ideas when offered in their city.
Some people may clamor for old
fashioned education. But nothing in
this world stands still, and educa-
lion can't.
1t is fine thing where parents
7isit the schools and personally OBJ
serve the work. But if they gener-
lily do the three things named
lbOve, they will help very much.

One of Smiths greatest hobbies
was Jockeys He believed always
that a competent jockey was two
thirds of the race. and he played
this belief to the limit. The racing
world today gives Smith much OF
the credit for developing two OF
the greatest riders Of his period
the incompatible Tod Sloan and
Tom Shaw. Certainly he backed
the two to the limit and employed
them constantly during the years
he operated a stable of his own.
Smiths Jockeys incidentally,
were as important to him in his
calculations as were his clockers.
Frequently Jockeys would come to
him with information that a GER
tain horse. outclassed in the race,
might have won under different
handling. Those facts Smith never
forgot, And he never failed TO
see that such conditions were ful-
filled in some subsequent race.
Here's a case in point. Twenty
five years ago William Jennings

far out in the race for a mile or

After some little gambling sHc-s
cess IN Pittsburgh. Smith went to.
Chicago, and ii was there that he
acquired the nickname which was
in after years to become one OF
the most advertised names in the
world. In signing his betting slips
Smith always used the name
Phil 1t so happened that there
was another Phil signing slips
in the same ipool hall. So to dis.
tinguish him the bookmakers re-
ferred to Smith as Phil from
Pittsburgh" This, very naturally
was shortened to Pittsburgh
Phil"'-and Pittsburgh Phil" be-
came a byword at the track. In
fact. at the time of Smiths death
80 we'll established had the nick
name become that few people
even remembered that his real
name was George Smith.
The Washington times., 1928-12-28

Smith was ever a man with
mind for infinite detail and
analysis. Once he started his
race track career he began an
analysis of the game that was
both intensive and cOmprehen-
sive. No man ever lived who
had a more thorough knOwl-
edge of horses. No man ever
had a more infalIible memory
or a better sense of proper
fions.

Girls Industrial League Teams
 Battle at Walnut Hill

While the Fafnir mems baseball team in the lndustria league is making sorry showing on the dia- mond. the girls team last night won it's first victory when it defeated the North X Judd misses in slugfest by the score of 16 to 12.
 The Fafnir team hit consistently throughout the game while the Buckle Makers were unable to solve the slants of Roman until the latter innings. Roman allowed but three hits until the sixth when her ef- fectiveness suddenly vanished. The N. & J. team then hit her hard but they were stopped in the seventh by a beautiful double play started by the Fafnir pitcher herself.
 Four girls were injured during the

Both bingles were good for homers but m her first trip around the sacks. she failed to touch first and she just managed to touch the bag again be- fore being called out.
 The fielding gem Of the game came in the seventh. With Row alski on first. Mlynarski hit hard to deep right center. Moshus and J. Nalconis went after the ball. Moshus made a nice catch but started to fall. As she was going down, she tossed the ball 10 Julia who shot it to first to complete a double play.
