IMP ROVEMENTS
BASED ON ADS

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Nov. 10.
The history Of advertising in
America during the last Is years
was outlined here by Gilbert T..
Hodges, member Of the Executive
Board Of the Sun, at the tenth
annual dinner Of the New Eng
land Advertising Clubs.
Advertising, he said, now forms
the basis of an entirely new eco
Y1olnic and social theory, which is
SOlidifytng into 4 sound and stable
system. "Under the new theory" |"
said Hodges. spending is the
prudent policy Of the wage-earner
and high wages the proved policy
of the employer. 1t is q perfect
circle on the graph Of economics.
Advertising, by its reason ap-
peal, StirS the imagination Of men
and women toward self -betterment
Of all sorts -betterment In per
Sonal appearance, whtnh means
the clothes they wear; .serment
in their households, which means
the furniture and decorative
aspects Of their homes: better
ment In their attitude toward
their neighbors. Modern adver-
tising is the fire under every mans
chair, which makes him work
harder to earn more, to buy more,
to enjoy more. Advertising has
made wage-earnerS enjoy life as
the poor and the medium circum-
stanced have not enjoyed life since
the world began"

ANTIT RUST LAW
TOO VAGUE

Declaring big business consoli-
6ations are l1ampered by the
vague language Of the Sherman
antitrust law. Representative
George II. Tinkhan1 (R), Of
Massachusetts,, yesterday an
nounced he would introduce q
bill directing the Federal Trade
Commission to approve or disap-
prove proposed combines.
Tinkham pointed out that the
Hoover Administration has abaI1-
doned the practice Of the Depart
lsment of Justice under President
Coolidge In advising whether q
combination is legal before 1t Is
cOnSummated.
Many good trusts. he said, are
not formed because business men
are afraid to risk future prose
Cution, adding:
ssMuch uncertainty has been
accustomed in business by doubt
as 10 the application of the
antitrust law. Many business en-
I terpriseS conducted by men OF
/. nndOubted integrity acting upon
adyice Of competent counsel,
have organized their affairs, In
good faith, and issued stocks
and bonds which came into the
hands Of innocent purchasers,
only to find after the lapse Of
wears that under more recent
court decisions their Organiza-
ton offended against the act,
their stock and bond issues were
Illegal, and that they had sub
iected themselves to the penal
provisions of the statute.
, ''such uncertainty with such
Injurious consequences should
Be removed without further de
lay. Certainty in the law Is Of
the first importance"
Under his bill q proposed COM
bine could Ask the Federal Trade
Commission to rule on its legality,
and q favorable decision would be
q bar to prosecution.

MAIDEN, Mass, Nov. 18
(IN.So.-Rapidly approaching
the proportions Of a Second
Lourdes," the humble grave Of
the late Rev. Patrick j. Power
today again became mecca as
countless thousands from all over
the United States again sought
surcease from bodily ills ct the
dead priests mound In Holy
Cross Cemetery.
A crowd estimated at between
100000 and 1000 visited the
cemetery yesterday Ia the hope
Of profiting by the miracle
cures" which hundreds claim

and Mrs. CurIey, who sank to
their knees at the grave in q pelt-
ing rain last night to offer
prayers that the long illness Of
Mrs. Curley would be brought
to an end.
Strenuous steps were being
taken today to prevent q repeti-
ton of the chaos which prevailed
at the cure-Seeking yesterday,
when traffic for miles around the
cemetery was paralyed, and troll
leys and buSSeS running ct two
minute intervals were found In
adequate to deal with the un-
nrecedented thrOngS.
Automobiles from as far west
as Arizona were In the seemingly
endless line stretched to and

Of course, the youngsters like it.. They do not happen to know what is good for them. but prefer the ex- citement-any kind of excitement- when it offers. The parents are the folk who have the worry and the bother, who foot the bills and make the trips 10 the hospitals. Meanwhile d snappy industry has been built up in the manufacture of Fourth of July equipment, and that is evident ly the main incentive of the proceed ings. Money is kept in circulation thereby regardless of what happents to the innocent bystanders and fire works practitioners,
 Personally, we would prefer to listen to an ld-time Fourth Of July oration-no matter how mex pressibly rotten it might be-than be subjected to the bother of celebrat- ing the national holiday as it is done today. But that's only a personal opinion. As we write this we already have a splotch of iodine on our hands, the result of trying to show kid how to operate a cap pistol without getting hurt

HOW DO PARENTS LIKE THI, IOIRTEp

We know how to commcrctalizc a thing quicker in this country than anywhere else. Nothing must be al- lowed to develop minus the possi- biIity for making money out of it.
 Thus We celebrate the Fourth of July In q manner that no founding father Of the Republic ever dreamed about. IL has been found that there is money in manufacturing noise making material for children. fire works that burn fingers if not handled with extreme care, and so forth; and in due time the cclcbra- ton of the nations day degencratcd into saturnalia Of noise and in- Jmics that has become the despair of millions of citizens.

siye product of the Republican ad- ministration which followed the two first Paonessa administrations This should be proof, if any is needed, that New Britain knows when its welfare is well looked after regard less of politics otherwise Mayor Paonessa in his earlier terms would not have relied so strongly upon Mr. Hall for financial advice and guidance.
 How often, too, has Tax Commis- sioner Blodgett highly commended the financial condition of this city? And it is to be noted that the tax commissioner did not restrict his commentators to such times when the Republicans were completely in power but rather indiscriminately over a long period of years. What reason, therefore. is there to be over critical of what appear to be small matters on their very face when the city has been doing so well as a whole? Mr. Blodgett and MT Hall, we feel sure, are well pleased with what has been done here. Even the piCayune personal taxes, disliked by the masses. are collected here as mo- where else; yet when a few abate- ments were made recently to needy persons there was the usual caustic criticism.
 The critics should investigate con- ditions in the other four cities men, tioned. They would return here with a greater inclination to be well satis- fled with New Britains record Everything may not be perfect, and here and there a little money may be wasted-at least, apparently vast ed; but on the whole we need not hang our head in shame, and have no intention of doing so.
