Speaker at Advertising Par
ley Protests OBSTRUCTIVE
government Competition"
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, July S.--Advertiscrs OF
America were called upon today to pre-
serve and protect the Nations industries
from what was termed destructive
Government competition"
In an address prepared for delivery
before the opening general session of
the International Advertising Associ-
alton convention Philip H. gladden.. vice
president of the United Gas Improve
u1ent Co, of Philadelphia said the only
thing which can shake the credit and
disturb the progress of Americas in
dustrisl development is the menace of
Government competition"
gladden. said it is competition in buSi-
hess which has created the increased
demand for advertising and that "ad-
vertising in turn has been the chief re-
iiance of business successfully TO meet
competition"
Urges Free Field and Fair Contest.
I'VE have been taught to believe that
our Government was established to in
sure free field and fair contest for
the interplay of initiative and enter
prise GadSen said. Signs are not
wanting however, that there is develop
ing In the United States on the part of
certain groups demand that We aban-
don this principle ana embark on
policy which would sap and undermine
that initiative and enterprise which is
characteristic of the United States as
people
THE main objection to such policy
on the part of the Federal Government
Is not that Government operations are
uotoriously inefficient and that they
may occasion financial loss to the in
6uStry faced with such unfair compe-
tftion," he continued. but that 1t de-
stroys the basic principle upon which
the whole of American business has
been built.
Challenge 10 Advertising Genius.
what a challenge this presents to
the advertising genius of America to
protect and preserve from destructive
competition by the Government this
great industrial civilization which 1t has
done so much to create
Business with advertising and pub
hcity as its light-giving beacons must
take the leadership in this new compe-
tition-this clash of utterly irrecon-
cilable ideas"

Bristol Woman Causes Laughter During Council Discussion Of
 Proposed S24,OOO Bridge
Special to the Herald)

Bristol, March 7-Numerous pro perty owners vied with each other at the city councils hearing last night to condemn the proposed bridge to connect Gaylord and Barnes street at a cost of s24,0oo, but the comedy was furnished by the husband and wife who were en- phatically in favor Of the span.
 The husband was stating his ap- proval of the new bridge in fine rhetoric when a woman next to hln arose and eloquenuy proceeded to tell the city council how wonderful the new bridge would be and what q blessing it would prove to her llt- tie garden which is trod upon by the countless pedestrians because Of the lack of a bridge.
 Mayor W. Raymond Crumb suggested solemnly that she refrain from interruptinS the man who promptly subsided when the woman commenced. "Oh it's all right" she said, He's my husband
 The husbands only reaction to this statement was to stare mutely. while councilmen and audience roared for several minutes.

FORUM ON FOOD VALUES
Prof. Grace Macleod of Columbia and Members of WOnlan's Club Discuss Dietary Policies.

Professor Grace Macleod of Teachers college. Columbia universi- ty, New York. spoke before the Woman's club yesterday afternoon, using for her topic Food facts and what use should be made of them"
 Professor Macleod discussed the discovery of vitamins and their diff ferent classes, using milk and bread as examples. Milk. according to Miss Macleod. comes nearest to being d perfect food. Bread made with milk is also very nourishing. As a nation America consumes mostly bread stuffs, meats, fats and sugar. Ameri- cans should endeavor to make such a dietary more balanced by using fresh fruits and vegetables in great CT quantities, she said.
 After the meeting an open dis cussion was held and many questions were asked of Miss Macleod.

CHAUTAUQUA TENT
 MAY BE DISCARDED
Committee Seeking Indoor Site
 for Future Productions

That there is a strong possibility of Chautauqua being given indoors instead of in a tent this summer. was revealed at the meeting of the New Britain Chautauqua association at the Chamber of Commerce rooms last evening.
 Burt kinne. circuit director ot Swarthmore Chautauqua, was pre- sent and outlined the plans for the summer program. It was reported that enough tickets have been sub scribed to guarantee all local eX- penses.
 Mir. kinne reported on the grow ing tendency for the use of indoor auditoriums for summer perform ances. He said of 34 towns he has visited on his circuit, 22 have ar ranged to go indoors. \ committee consisting of W. C. French, A. Ty- son Hancock and Mrs. Arthur Ba- con will endeavor to find a suitable auditorium.
 One of the main objections to
  cording to Mir. kinne is the heavy expense of transporting baggage. Holding the program indoors would do away with the cost Of shipping the tent, the chairs. the platform and materially reduce the need for travelling tent crews. Whether the expense of an auditorium would eX- ceed this cost is the problem of in- dividual local committees.
 The added comfort and improved facilities indoors is another argu- ment advanced in favor of the change. If the committee can pro cure q suitable auditorium. New Bri- tain probably has seen it's last Chau- tauqua at Walnut Hill park.
 Instead of in June as was desired by the local committee. it is likely Chautauqua will be here with its summer program early in July.

London. March 2 P-Of a half dozen forced descents of cross channel airplanes because of a thick fog yesterday, only one today ap- parently was accompanied by dan- ger.

Baroness Van Till Canch Kavanagh. of the Hague. was cut in the face. being the only one of the eight passengers aboard to be injured.
 AS the passengers emerged white faced from the wreckage their first thought was praise for Roger Maury. pilot. who brought the ma chine safely across the fog blanket ed waters of the English channel with one engine disabled.
 The Americans were Miss Doro- thy Palmer of Seattle. Miss Mar garet Duncan. who gave her ad- dress as ''care of the American EX- press, Paris" and s. Ahiloff, New York city.

 '"The women were wonderful. They made no sound until the pilot brought his machine to standstill He climbed out of the cockpit and quietly opened the door for us. We got out quickly because both en- zines were wrecked and we feared the machine might catch fire.'
 The pilot, he said. explained that valve spring in one of the en- zines had apparently broken.

EDUCATOR PRAISES
 YOUTH MOVEMENT
Dr. Rotten Says It Expresses
 Desire for FrankneSS

Dr. Elizabeth Rotten. one of the foremost educators of Germany, spoke before the teachers of the city's public and private schools yes- terday afternoon at the State Nor nal school and told her listeners that she believed that the youth movement of today towards frank ness and naturalness of life and personal freedom with respect for the freedom and dignity of others. will some day bring 8 new and ideal brotherhood among men and be- tween nations.
 The youth movement, as she has known it and grown with it in her native country, was complot iy ,ut- lined by the lecturer. The noEn- m"nt. according ta the &n.",- a-'- = ~" '""'"r in ,',r v~--"" stu- dents for q frankness and natural .',.i !..~ |, u" ideals Nhich they learned from their educators and which were in their hearts.
 Dr. Rotten described the begin nings of the movement. Small groups of young men and women would gather together after hours of class 70 discuss in crude ways their higher and broader ideals. In the early part of the present gentry it was thought that the teacher must maintain certain stiffness toward the pupil, in contrast with the love and interest now considered reaui- site in the educator, Dr. Rotten said. Speaking Of her own relations with the movement, she said that she was among the first to enter its spirit.
 The idea placed before all Ger man youths in their high school ages, that the highest aim in life should be to die for the Fatheriand, was resented by the representatives Of the new movement among the younger citizens of Germany. the speaker said The youths thought that their lives would be better giV- en to peaceful work for the unity in the nations and other nations.
 An uproar Of patriotism began with the war and the traditional love Of country proved too power ful for the resistance of the spon- sors of the youth movement, so that they were themselves among tn" first 70 join the ranks. according 10 the speaker. Germany lost some brilliant young minds of the empire in the early days Of the war. As the war progressed tho fCrVor passed and those left in the ranks and out side the ranks had time to ponder and to realize that they had taken the wrong step. Even before the end of the war there was a No More War" movement in Germany. stated Dr. Rotten.
 The main group of younger people who were for the new freedom broke into two factions, half Of them forming q radical paci;irt .lo- tnent in the new republic yet all re- lnaining true to th. fundamental de sire and atm of freedom and respect for freedom Of others. This happen cd at the end Of the war.
 The youth Of Germany are now sure Of themselves and have the eli- couragement that the youth of the world are seeing their aims. and concurring with them. Dr. Rot n stated in conclusion.
