HALLOWEEN DOINGS

The Halloween stunts have varied
from pretty and picturesque frolics
of the boy and girl element, to law
less mischief. The kid element are
entitled to their fun, and it is a
pleasure to see them cutting up with
their pretty jack-o-lanterns, parad-
ing in their white sheets, and trying
to scare the sober grown-ups by
their ghost antics.
The Halloween custom is hoary
with antiquity, and something
creepy in human nature seems to
like to flirt with the mysterious
spooks supposed to return on this
occasion.
The Halloween doings in many
places however, do not stop with
these harmless and playful capers.
There is tendency among gangs
of boys, and girls as well, to make it
a kind of reign of terror in their
neighborhoods. They are not salts
fed with making a noise, but feel
that they have not properly observed
the occasion unless they have done
things that will cause some damage
and make trouble.
It is not a complete excuse to say
that boys will be boys, and they have
always done these things and always
will. It may be said that there is
no great harm in ringing doorbells
and rapping on windows. But in
this time when we are trying to
bring the children up to be polite
and considerate, it does not help any
to have them rampaging through
the town and doing insolent things.
When they get to the point where
they destroy fences, carry off gates
and posts, punch holes in window
screens, knock blinds off houses,
ring in fire alarms, trample down
vegetables remaining in the gardens,
then it is time for someone to get
busy. Bringing a few of them up
in the local courts has a SOLDERING
effect in many places, and would
give the parents some good talking
points when the next Halloween
comes around.

THE SERyICES OF THE BANKS

Years ago you could often find
people who had a grudge against
banks and bankers. They would Of
ten declaim against these folks, who
they believed exacted a tribute from
the people, and grew rich out of the
peoples money.
Most people get so many free SER
vices out of banks nowadays, that
this feeling has mostly disappeared.
They give us an enormous amount
of free advice about investment,
business management, handling of
money affairs. If we had to pay for
all that counsel as we have to pay
in some fields, a heavy bill would
be charged us. But they look at it
in a generous way, that when they
save money for people, much of that
money saved goes on deposit with
them.
An enormous amount of money is
wasted annually by being lost in
worthless investments. There is no
excuse for such losses, when most
of them would have been saved if
people had only gone to their home
town bankers and asked advice.
When those slick statesmen come
around and want you to put your
money in that stock that is going to
make you rich in a short time, your
banker will show you any flaws that
exist in the proposition.
The banks of today are more pros
porous than ever before, and one
reason is that they are doing a great
deal of advertising. Old fashioned
bank advertisements commonly con-
sisted mostly of announcements of
the location of their place of busi-
ness, lists of officers, etc. But
thousands of modern banks are US
ing in their advertising brief argu-
ments in favor of thrift, economy,
prudent investment, etc. This ad-
vertising interests the people, draws
money out of old stockings and puts
it to work, gives people financial
and increases bank re-
sources. Banking made a great
stride ahead when it put printers
ink to work.

'NOT INTERESTED"

A gentleman whose home is in a
community well known to our read
ers, recently remarked that he had
been serving on a drive to secure
memberships to the local improve
ment society. The organization had
done good work, and the dues were
small.
Yet he found people who frankly
said they were not interested. If
they had complained that the organ
ization accomplished little, their at
titude would have been comprehen-
sible. If they really could not spare
the money for dues, they were ex-
cusable. But to say they were not
interested in the betterment of their
home town, was an almost incon-
ceivable attitude 1t is to be feared
that such people are too self center
ed to make friends or succeed in
their occupations.

OBTAINING RECOGNITTON

Most people in this world never
get far out of the ordinary rut. 1t
would be the testimony of teachers
that most children are content if
they simply learn their lessons and
get by, without special merit. The
great majority of people who go into
business either make a failure of it,
or just reach a small success. There
is more or less risk in running busi-
ness that way, for the concern that
is just ordinary is in danger of get
ting lost in the race of modern COM
petition.
To win any considerable success
in any field of effort, some special
distinction and superiority is need
ed. People must somehow be able
to attract attention and do things
that are out of the ordinary.
Yet people who give extraordinar-
lily good service do not always get
credit for it. Frequently the public
does not know about that service
and remains Indifferent to it, be-
cause it has never been informed
about it. 1t often seems all wrong
that a little business that has done
it's best to give good service, yet
never gets much of any recognition,
and sometimes is not able to keep
on.
Yet the way is open to the busi-
ness that is thus doing good work,
to get this public. recognition, and
that is through advertising. When
it tells what it is doing, it con-
vinces the public of it's superiority
When it strikes out to win public |
it begins to get out of the |
ordinary rut. People are attracted |
to it, the merits of it's service are
recognized, its volume of trade in
creases, which enables it to make
low prices.
Modern advertising solves the
problem of the business that is do
ing good work, but which fails to
obtain the public recognition to
which it is fairly entitled.
Milford chronicle., 1928-10-26
PRICE MARKS

The old fashioned store rarely
used to display any price marks on
its goods. People did not know what
things cost, and often there was a
failure to arouse their interest. But
nowadays many stores display price
labels conspicuously, often in their
show windows.
That is a very good scheme, but it
only hits the people who happen to
pass or enter that particular store.
The same result is obtained, only
many times, when the
advertises his prices in
1t is wonderful pow
er in drawing trade.

Aircraft Radio Undergoing
Development

Numerous institutions in the United
States, including the bureau of stand
ards, and the army and navy are
pushing the development of special
radio apparatus for airships.
Radio is such an important piece
OF equipment in aeronautical work
that it seems somewhat strange that
more progress has not been made in
that field. Although transmitters and
receivers are now being regularly
used, they cannot yet be called en-
tlrely reliable.
One of the many features that is
now being specially pushed is the
means of securing steady plate volt
age for the radio tubes. AS batteries
capable of giving much power are ex-
cesslvely heavy, generators are usual
ly used. The generators are being
driven III a variety of ways-some are
Tilted with small propeller blade
mat is turned by the air rushing past;
mother is driven by the same engine
hat drives the plane and still others
re driven by a separate small gaso-
me engine of special design. Each
these types has its particular ad-
'antages and disadvantages and it is
hoped that development will make
one or more of them much better
han any of the existing outfits.

both still and moving, will be under
taken by a number of investigators in
various sections of the country uader
licenses for experimental television
transmission which have been issued
by the federal radio commission.
These licenses authorize television
transmission by the Radio Corpora
ton of America, New York, under the
call 2ABS; Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing company, East Pitts
burgh, Pa, under the call 8XAV; J.
Smith Dodge, Lexington, Mass, under

the Aero Products, Inc, Chicago, un-
der the call 9XAG.
These stations are licensed to trans
nit on wavelengths of 61.9 to 63.79

television transmission, under the call
of 3XK, on 1905 and 140.1 meters.
More to Come
St;ll more television transmitters
will be in operation in the near future
and the commission has already grant
ed permission for the construction OF
stations at Salina, Kan, and at Los
Angeles, Calf.
If the suggestions made by Capt.
s. c. Hooper, technical advisor to the
commission, are carried out, expert
mental television stations will have
five 100 kilocycle channels, between
1878 and 66.63 meters. One channel
will be assigned to each zone for
night use and all five channels to each
zone for daytime use. In addition to
this there will be several isolated
channels among the shorter wave
lengths.
Practical television may still be
long way off, but the liberal assign
ment of definite channels for that pur-
pose and the licensing of numerous
stations certainly brings it closer to
home.
