WHERE MONEY is WASTED

It is generally agreed that mil.
lions Of dollars a year are vast
ed on advertising. but the great
er portion of the loss is attribut-
ed to bill boards, calendar and
other unscientific mediums. Ad
vertising that is offensive or
anoying through being forced
upon people at inopportune times
or in inappropriate places Ger
tainly is a waste Of money.
A bill board that glares at one
from the road side, marring the
scenery, is not conductive to
building up good will for the ad
vertiser. To be forced to sit in
q moving picture theater while
several firms announce their
wares through the lantern slide,
when the patron wants to see
the film which he paid to see is
not going to create any new
business. When one is listening
in on the radio and the announc
er starts to exploit some ones
wares the chances are that the
majority of radio fans will switch
the dial over to station broad
casting a jazz program.
There are none of these ob
noxious features to newspaper
advertising. The advertisements
are scattered throughout the
newspaper and the reader can
look them over or not, just as be
sees fit. Often be reads them
without knowing it and some
particular brand that has ap
peared with frequency comes tc
his mind when be is in the mar
ket. Perhaps he did not even
realize that this brand was call
ed to his attention on the sport
page while be was reading
round by-round description OF 9
prize fight. or on the local page
| while he was reading an article
of interest to him. The fact re
mains, however, that be doesn'
have to read the ads unless be
| wants to and the advertiser does
not create any i'll will agains
him. If bargains are offered Of
some novelty is being exploited
q goodly per cent of the news
aper readers will be attracted
to it even before the news !:
digested.
No intelligent advertiser has
ever sought to build up his busi
ness by bill board, radio. calen
dar or moving pictures show ad
vertising, but hundreds hav,
created nation wide sales throug
the newspapers. If newspape
advertising did not pay ther
wouldn't by any large newspap
ers, and only a few of the small
ones.-Bisbee Review.

CIGARET CONSUMPTION

The treasury department has dont us good turn in showing how oui money goes up in smoke. Among the tobacco statistics announced was ono indication that consumption of cigarets has increased 200 per cent during the last ten years.
 The cigaret manufacturers have accomplished this i'll the face of a much higher cost compared with be- fore-the-war days. Part of this cost to consumers has been forced by the high tax assessed against tobacco products by the government.
 One of the significant items in consideration of this steady increase n eiearet consum ption is that it has followed a good many warnings; which formerly were given against tho unheslthful results of cigaret smoking. The C,garets were called coffin nalls-hack in the 9o's-and everyone. who smoked them was re- sarded as having adopted a certain method of committing suicide, There must have been considerable exaggeration in the propaganda, as the public prints are not filled with accounts of citizens coming to their deaths from cigaret smoking.
 The cigar industry has suffered more than the smokers.

 Fall River as . city A approxi- mately no older than New Britain. Its formation followed practically the same lines. It was part of . set clement known as Freetown until 1903. when it was incorporated separately and was known as the town of Troy until 1884. In 1854 it was chartered as the city of Fall River. so that the city really dates from that time. It's growth has paralleled that of the textile industry in New England. just a. the growth of New Britain coincided with the development of the hardware indus try. One of the chief differences has been that whereas the textile indus try has slumped during late years, the hardware industry has grown consistently. The population of Fall River only increased 1000 between 1910 and 1920. indicating that the city on Mount Hope Bay near the Narragansett has been standing still for years.
 \ better looking business district ultimately will evolve, as always is the case after devastating fire. But the losses and interfcrences with the business life Of the city will be pro- tracted.

PUBLIC WORKS

The. board of public works Is not doing the thing by halves this year. Better streets cost more money. The cry for better paved streets is con stsnt. but the urse to save money is just as urgent. Doing both is one of those thints which rarely happen.
 Mseadam work. for instance, would cost sl3s.oco: permanent pay ing S7os.se7. The grand total of all the jobs believed necessary or sd- visabls is e5S7,ss7. Watch the look on Edward F. Halls face when he notes those figures.
 Last year the board got s2os.117 all told: which many agree is con- siderable money for the amount of work done.
 Whatever the finance board does about the budget prepared. the need for certain new bridges should not be overlooked. Bridges on Monroe, Buell. and Lincoln streets are in- cluded: but the most important is the Black Rock bridge. which it is said can be rebuilt If the city pays half the cost. the railroad paying the other half.
 The city has dawdled along with this eyssore for quite some years: conferences have been had with New Haven officials: angry protests against the structure have been fre- queut. On the main artery through tho city. 1t needs complete rebuild ing. including widening to the full width of the street The approa ches as at present constituted are q dis grace, but perhaps 1t would be use less to tinker with them go long as . new bridge is in prospect.

THE RADIO COMMISSION

It was logical for the House com mittee to recommend extending the | life of the radio commission for an- other year. The present commis- sion's life expires in the middle of March; it's efforts have been scarce. ly more than a beginning. How much of value it has achieved is a. matter of opinion, but few can gain say that there has been a stabilizing influence in the broadcasting field since its inception.
 The commission, however, has given the impression it is reluctant 10 turn on its full power. A year ago there was much talk about the cut ting off of radio stations deemed of no value of radio stations deemed Of moment has followed these pre- dictions. Instead, the commission has busted itself with Clearing the air lanes," and what real good has been achieved in this particular is dubious.
 The public has greater rights in broadcasting than the stations; the public's investment Is far greater, amovnting to 5oo.oooooo spent for receiving sets last year. The invest ment of the broadcasters. of which tho commission was heard quite enough, is nothing in comparison. The commission is supposed to be a genuine regulatory body. It should not be afraid to make decisions; it should not be diffident about rcgu- lating. If there are lawsuits-as there will be ultimately anyway they can come carly az well as late.

 Q. What are "ten-penny'' nails ! A. There are two explanations of this designation. It is either due to the fact that such nails origin ally sold for ten-pence . hundred or that 1000 of such nails origin ally weighed 10 pounds.
 Q. How should . century plant be cared for?
 4. It needs practically no stimu- lation except the application of some liquid manure two. or three times . year and very little water. During summer 1t should be kept out of doors where 1t is watered by rain. In the winter it is kept in a cool moist place and given very little water.
 Q. Has the Board of Tax Ap- peals ever made . decision in the case of the government against Senator James Couzens and others concerning the payment of addition al income tax on the sale of their stock in the Ford Motor Company?
 A. Final arguments were made before the Board of Tax Appeals on May 25. 1927 and briefs were filed by counsel on both sides of the case That is the last that has been heard of the case 70 far as the public is concerned. The Boar dof Tax Ap- peals has not rendered a decision

THE, TROU BILE MAKERS

William Gibbs McAdoo is not satisfied to be an innocent bystand- CT. Or. if willing 10 stand by while the Smith procession passes, he wants to retain the privilege of throwing a brick. He has great con- fidencc in his aim. His last brick was one calculated 10 do the most harm in the quickest time. He evidently was standing quite close 10 his target.
 The burden Of his complaint was that wet" president could not, or would not, really enforce the eighteenth amendment. The wet forces of the country would regard the White House as a rallying point if Smith were nominated and elect ed, he says. He doesn't explain how this could happen, nor what dam age to enforcement would be done in case it did; that isn't necessary. McAdoo simply throws his bricks true 10 form and manages 10 put enough ideas into common cur rency in the dry dist ricts 10 make it more difficult 10 nominate Smith
 McAdoo isn't interested in the bcmocratic party putting up it's strongest candidate if that candidate ha appcns 10 disa gree privately with MrAdoo on the prohibition question. NrAdoo is more lnterc stcd in a bone dry president, and II ls p~r- tectly safe 10 assume he prefers 10 Republican hone dry 10 a Demo- cratic neutral
New Britain herald., 1928-02-03

The Democratic party hes Heflin rubbing salt in the religious issue and McAdoo sprinkling white pepper into the prohibition sore. No party in the annals of mankind ever had more to contend with. Between the two of them it is not a question of party solidarity SO much as fac tional fracticide. If factions could ! win elections Heflin and McAdoo would be assets: but aA the factions they represent lose elections the Democratic party unfortunately is forced to function with two mill stones dangling from the Adams apple.
 McAdoos superficial conclusions about the alleged impossibility of smith enforcing the law 50 far as a president is able to exert influence in that direction is on 8 par with his conclusions generally. Everyone knows, or ought to know, that with the 18th and the Nolstead act re- maining in force a certain amount of enforcement automatically flows from Washington. The likelihood is little that there would be less en- forcement even with brewer in the White House; there could scarcely be less. It has been shown repeated ly that the bulk of prohibition agents obtain their appointments through political wire pulling. and that their efficiency is about the last thing considered. And under this plan VIC are supposed to be enjoy ins the benefits of a dry administra- ton. The possibility is that, were Smith in the White House. less politics would enter into prohibition enforcement, and that might be something gained rather than lost
 IT Smith were to be inducted into office and sworn 10 the law, does McAdoo think an exception would be made ss to the prohibition law? Docs McAdoo imagine Congress would discontinue it's functioninE? Does McAdoo honestly believe what he is saying? We doubt it.
 All he wishes to do is to head off smith" in other parlance. his oh- feet. as an allegedly outstanding Democrat. Is to defeat whatever chance the Democratic party has of putting up a battle in the years election.
 The Republicans doubtless stand ready to make the usual campaign expenditures. They should include a handsome donation to McAdoo He IS their best aide.

25 Tears Ago To-day (F'rom Paper of That Date)S

At the annual meeting of the D. C. Judd company yesterday after noon Charles Glover, w. E. Att wood. W. L. Hatch and F. H. John- ston were elected directors.
 A three days convention of the National Brickmakers' axsocis tion opened in Boston today and as usual New Britain was we'll represented. Among those in attendance were Mir. and Mrs. Virgil M. Palmer and R. O. Merkin and Mrs. Merwin.
 Carrying on it's campaign for more Swedish men in the city offices, the Ostern Harold says that the ''Amer- icans'' have a. lions share of the of fees at present although there are comparatively few blue bloods here. Among those cited ss Americans are City Clerk A. L. Thompson. Audi tor H. L. Curtis Electrical superin- tendent George Cooley. Chief w. J. Rawlings, Patrolmen c. Lan- pher and Samuel Ramforth, Repre- sentative James F. Cooper and Pros ecuting Agent John H. kirkham. Tho proposed extension of West Pearl street was considered at the common council meeting last eve- ming. Rev. S. c. Ohman and Frank Caldwell spoke in favor of the plan and said ii would greatly bentfit hundreds of workers in the big Cor bin factories. Fred $. Chamberlain spoke for his mother. whose prop crty would be damaged, and said he would oppose the extension of the street through to Franklin square.
 Despite the fire which occurred in the rooms in the morning, the sn- nual reception of the New Britain club was held successfully last eve ming. Twenty-six tables were ac- commodated at dinner. \. r. Cooney was general chairman of arrange ments. ...
 Mir. Curtis introduced . petition into the council last night calling for the refusal of any further licenses for "boxins exhibitions" on the ground that such exhibitions are domora lizing in their character. drawing together the worst elements in the community for the gratitica- tion of their brutal instincts. and therefore detrimental to the best in- terests of he city and injurious to its reputation throughout the state and wherever the reports of such exhi- | bitions eNtend." Among the signers were A. J. Sloper, H. C. Capen. H. g. Walter, II. B. Boardman. c. F. 1 Spear, F. A. Moore. H. F. Erwin. James NJ. Burdick. s. H. Wood and W. F. Atwood.
 The discussion over the petition was lengthy and hot. Mr. Curtis, Mir. ! Leghorn. Mir. Parker. MT. Carlson and others took part. Leghorn said Curtis could get signers to a petition to move the monument over to Will low street. MT. Curtiss said what was objected to was the knocking down and knocking out of the box CTS" Mir. I.cghorn said he had never seen many of the signers of the pe- tition at any sporting event. The vote, when finally taken, stood 8 to < in favor of continuing boxing. The license fee was raised from [. to sc5.
 On Tuesday there will be a box ing match at the Casino between George Mcradden of New York and Eelfeld Wolcott of Boston. 20 rounds, with two prcliminaries. J. F. Willis will referee.

THE FIRE IN FALL RIVER

Most news that comes out of Fall River is of an economic nature something affecting the economics of its inhabitants is always trans piring. Its fame as the pulse Of the New England textile industry is un- disputed. Of late years. in common with Lawrence and Lowell, it has had the blues. The three cities men, tioned. in fact, comprise the blue trinity Of New England.
 Yet Fall River, considered on it's merits as a city. is no slight place. It's population in 1920 was 120,4s5. Perhaps it has grown a bit since then, but not as much as the aver age growth in other less industrially harassed cities not relying on tex tiles for most of it's living.
 Now the city is confronted with the most severe disaster of it's his tory, a fire having laid waste large part of the heart of the dowptoun section. The night the blaze started, if it was one such as New Britain experienced on the same day, vas ideal for a conflagration. Despite quick aid from Providence. only E miles distant. and New Bedford. only | miles away, the fire did its worst.
