BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, April 2l.-Dr. I. D. Kel-
ley, jr., prominent eye, ear, nose and
late william Cullen Mcbride. wealthy
oil magnate, was believed by police to
have been kidnapped last night after he
had been lured from his home by
telephone call for his services as a
physician. His automobile was found
today in st. Louis County.
DR.. Kelley was called from his home
at 10 o'clock last night by man whose
name, Mrs. Kelley, the physicians wife,
said sounded like Holmes"
Mrs. Kelley, sitting near the tele-
phone when the physician was called,
said the man apparently asked for DR..
Kelley to inset him at the western edge
of the city, near Clayton, a suburb, and
treat his nephew for an ear ache.
Victim Used Own Car.
The doctor declined the callers prof
fer of an automobile and said he would
20 in one of his own automobiles.
When the physician failed TO return
at midnight, Mrs. Kelley became un-
easy and called relatives, who IN turn
got in touch with Lon Hooker, preSl-
dent of the st. Louis Police Board, and
city and county Police Departments be-
gan an organized search.
County and city police were without
a clue as to the whereabouts OF the
physician. No demand for ransom has
been received by the doctors family, as
far as the authorities know.
Filling Stations Are Questioned.
Holmes" told the physician that his
nephew had been operated on recently
by a Chicago physician whose name,
Mrs. Kelley said. sounded like Balllnger
The caller told DR.. Kelley that the
Chicago physician had advised him TO
seek DR.. Kelley's help If complications
developed in the case.
Mrs. Kelley said she heard the phy-
sician repeat, Just east of the terminal
bridge across Clayton road" and two
blocks east of the filling station" ap-
parently meaning one of several hlllng
stations at North and South and Clay
ton roads, at the western edge OF the
city.
The police questioned residents and
the filling station attendants there
without gaining any clues.

SAYS ADVERTISING
LEADS IN HONESTY
Frank Arnold Tells of ProfeS-
sion's Struggle to Stop
All UntruthS.

Advertising, from a disreputable be-
ginning, when it was so untruthful that
honest merchants refused TO have any
thing to do with it, has grown TO be "one
of the most honest parts of business"
Frank A. Arnold, director Of develop
ment of the National Broadcasting Co.
told the Advertising Club of Washington
at luncheon today in the auditorium
of the National Press Club.
1t was not until 1900 that the poten-
tialities Of advertising began TO be ap-
preciated and real effort was made to
clean house IN order that legitimate
business might use this great force in
merchandising goods and expanding in
dustry. Mr.. Arnold said.
Tells of Renaissance.
Advertising clubs were organized.
which led to the formation in 1905 of
the Advertising Federation of America,
then known as the Associated Advertis-
ing Clubs Of America, he explained.
This was really the beginning 0f
the renaissance in advertising" he
continued. LAS higher standards OF
practice and ethics were adopted, ad-
yertising grew in prestige. dignity
honor. usefulness and the character II
the men engaged in the work until at
last today's advertising takes its right
tul rank among the professions most
helpful TO mankind"
Credit for this progress, he said.
must be given to organized advertising,
Of which the Advertising Federation OF
American has been the militant leader.
Organized advertising has striven 20
stamp out false and misleading ad-
vertising, he said, sponsoring legislation
which makes it a criminal offense to
publish deceptive and fraudulent ad-
vertising.
Deception Prevented.
He told of methods employed by va
rious large firms to insure absolute
truth in advertising, including cash re-
wards TO employees who report mis-
statement, the checking of copy by lab
oratory tests and the setting up of
rigid standards of practice.
Publishers cf advertising throughout
the Nation" Mr.. Arnold said, have CO.
operated splendidly with advertisers of
honest intent in their efforts to main
tain the dependability of all advertis-
