There will be other kinds of adver-
Using, 1t was pointed out. but the
entire campaign has been built
around the newspapers.
MY information Is that Sears,
R0ebuck and Co, will spend ap-
proximately four and one-Quarter
million dollars IN newspaper adver-
Using during this year." said Mr..
Creske. There will be other money
for displays, window trimming and
other advertising activities but the
newspapers alone will get the four
and one-Quarter millions. Part OF
this will. of course, be spent in tell
ing the world about the anniversary
event. We expect TO do more adver-
Using than Is customary during our
anniversary celebration. Our COM
pany has always found newspapers
the most productive form Of adver-
Using. per dollar spent. Of any OF
the media which has been tried. We
expect TO stick with the newspapers
anc expand our expenditures as the
business grows to warrant IT,"
1t was pointed out that each OF
the seven stores In the Southern

advertising budget allowed for this
anniversary event Of the company.
This 44th birthday OF our COM

FORE said Mr.. Creske. 1T is a far
cry back to 1886. when our company
was founded, but our company has
grown more In number Of units in
the last four years than in the pre-
vious forty years. We are proud of
the strides we have taken in the
retail field and we feel that We have
in our stores something to offer the
public that is found in few stores
anywhere. We feel that we have
grown large because we have adj
hered to our policy Of satisfaction
or your money back, We believe
the people generally appreciate this
policy.
For this particular celebration we
have done everything possible to
bring TO each city those things which
are most wanted. Our buyers have
been in the markets for mcnths
making special purchases for this
celebration Of nine days duration
and We know that in every store in

NEW TUBE CHEAPENS
POWER TRANSMISSION
General Electric Expert Explains
Thyratron to Scientists
at Philadelphia.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, February 21.-A
recently perfected device which would
make possible the cheap transmission
of electric power from distant natural
sources was described to scientists here
Wednesday night by DR.. Albert w. Hull,
assistant director Of the research labora-
tories of the General Electric Co.
The device, Dr. Hull said, is called a
thyratron. He described it as a refined
and modified radio power vacuum tube,
put to special power transmission uses.
He said the new tube "inverts" alter
mating current into direct current,
which is stepped down" for CONNER
cial use. The only waste of current
was said to be in the overcoming Of the
ordinary resistance of conducting wires
and cables.
The use of the new tube, DR.. Hull
said, would eliminate the necessity OF
elaborate insulation and ordinary high
tension wires. The high direct voltages
could be insulated for all practical pur-
poses by lead and rubber, and the lines
could be laid in underground conduits
without fear of induction losses.
Heretofore, DR.. Hull said, transmits
sion of electric power has been imprac-
ticable at a distance of more than 200
miles because of induction losses and
the need for an elaborate Substation
system.

the Presidents feeling for Mrs. Helm
He had offered Gen. Helm a commission

When Gen. Helm was killed at the
