John B. Kelleher today is

$50, 600, 900 Will Be Spent on

The organized outdoor advertiS-

gram will expend $60,000,000 for
the erection of new structures in
America this year. Henry Morton,
president of the P. and H. Nor
ton Advertising Company here
declared today.
According to Mr.. Morton the
new structures will be erected
under specifications furnished by
the Outdoor Advertising AssOcia.

vent the erection of unSightly
signs and ragged, brOken-dOwn

It. was stated that Standardiza-
ton, as proposed by the asso-
citation, will do away with the
undesirable practice of placing
Sheets" on the sides of buildings
and other structures and will pro
vide for certain types OF signs
which will not greatly detract
from the beauty of the surround
ing countryside.
A special committee of the Or
SANITATION, according to Mr. Nor
ton, has drafted a "code OF
ethics" which will cover the
activities of members. Accord
ing to the advertising official the
new code is in keeping with plans
proposed by various civic groups
in different parts of the United
States.
Legislation Is Opposed
Mr.. Morton said:
"The outdoor advertising
companies in the State of
Maryland are well able to regu-
late their own business, and
with the enforcement of exist
ing laws, by the State Depart
nfent, there is no further need
of legislation or taxation being
directed against legitimate
business enterprises.
"The outdoor advertising in
terests in Maryland employ
hundreds of men, pay to farm
ers and property owners nearly
o million dollars a year for
rent of space and spend hui
dreds of thousands of dollars
for materials. There are also
hundreds of men in allied in

amusements, he devoted him
self to ornamental carving, the
study of arithmetic and making
minor inventions.
Leaving Peekskill, where thu
family had lived during the
greater part of his youth, he
went to Hampstead, L. l., where
he obtained work in a woolen
factory. Soon afterWard he be-
gan to show that combination
of talents, as inventor and bust
ness man, which enabled him
to build up fortune.
An invention of his, a sheep
shearing machine, had a wide
sale. He made a success as a
cabinetmaker and later as a
grocer. Next, he invested all
his savings in a large glue and
isinglaSs factory, from which,
by study and invention in glue
making processes, he built up
a great business and accumu-
lated a fortune.
He built a railroad in Baltl-
more, invented an ingenious
locomotive, organized a railroad
company and built the road.
Peter Cooper rendered not
able service in the building up
of the American iron business;
made the first wrought iron
beams for fireproof buildings
in his own mill at Trenton,
N. j., and was awarded by the
Royal Society of London their
BesSemer medal for his services
in the extension of the iron
trade.
Led Gable Project
Peter Cooper will always be
remembered as leader in the
project for laying the Atlantic
cable, primarily the project of
Cyrus w. Field. In 1854 he be-
came the president of the New
York, Newfoundland g. London
Telegraph Company, and two
years later all its privileges
we're transferred to the At
lantic Telegraph Company with
a capital of $1,75O,0OO, for the
purpose of laying the Atlantic
cable. Throughout all the dis
couragements in this undertak-
ing Cooper was fixed in his de-
termination to carry it out. 1t
is no exaggeration to say that
its early success was due to
the tireless patience and perse-
verance of Peter Cooper.

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

day by day they become more
domineering and expect six
times as much work in the
same amount of hours. They
bark at you, unnerve you, spoil
your disposition, make you lose
your respect for them. No mat
ter how well your work is
done, no appreciation is shown.
You become reckless and don't
give a darn. The next one
who employs you suffers. Whose
fault is it?
Nine times out of 10 the
most careless worker has, at
one time, been the most eff
cient and conscientious, but
found that it wasn't appreci-
ated.
MISS L. S.
A Careless Worker
Ben Franklin" admits that
the young worker may not be
overly enthusiastic but thinks
it is because the boy is "only
a greasy cogwheel in an un-
feeling machine, unhonored
and unsung!"
Consider" says he, "the
garage in which that careless
young man worked. 1t was
large, we'll equipped, thoroughly
modern. Which means That IL
was one huge machine, prob
ably part of a chain-a money
producing machine in Wnlcn
human feeling counts for prac-
tically nothing.
Can the young man take
pride in his work, such pride as
his father took in his one-man
lob? Who tells him how good
he is? Who glories with him
over a beautiful piece of work,
we'll done? Nobody. His immedl-
ate boss is probably as much a
part of the machine as ne IS.
Nobody has any personal inter
est or pride in anything. MOD
ern science and business have
taken both romance and con-
science out of industry.
His Natural Feeling
Naturally the young man
has a mechanical, cold feeling
toward a place where he is only
a greasy cog, when unhonored
and unsung. No wonder he
wants to rush away into a world
of youth that is still warm and
foolish and interested in him
as a person.
PUT the average youngster
of 20 in a little garage, in sight
of a cottage surrounded by a
garden and managed by the
Maybelle of his heart, give him
a chance to buy, some day, the
business where he works, and
will he kick a stray wrench
from his path in his hurry to
escape at S o'clock? I doubt it.

working classes by affording
practical instruction in those
branches of knowledge appll-

and to furnish a reasonable and

labors of the day. -.
Civil, mechanical and electr1-

Parents Were Excellent Folk
Peter Cooper was born in 1871,
in the year when Washington
was making his famous tour
throughout the South. His par
ents were people Of sterling
character and virtues.
His father, John Cooper, was
a halter in Little Dock (noW
Water) Street, near the fur
store OF John Jacob Astor, from
whom Cooper bought beaver
skins to make hats. His mother,
Margaret, was the daughter Of
\ John Campbell, who had served
as quartermaster in the Contl-
mental Army.
In "The Book of Popular Sci
ence," it is stated that Peter,
the fifth of nine children, was
named by his father after the
Apostle, in the belief that "the
boy would come to something"
This touching belief was fully
justified by Peters future de-
veIopment and distinguished
career.

A Tribute From
"A Business Man
Editor, Times:
A certain individual testify
ing before an investigating
committee short while ago
revealed the purpose of the
Soviet government to destroy
all religion. After this con-
summation the ministers would
then be compelled to go to
work!
It would be interesting to
know just what such an lndi-
vidual might consider real
work if the pastors, priests or
rabbis had not been working
all these years.
MiniStering and preaching to
a modern congregation requires
the patience of Job, the elo-
quence of DemoStheneS, with
considerable of the knowledge
of EinStein and Edison.
Of course, the preacher Of
morals and constructive philoSo-
ply such as all denominations
demand must be man OF
extraordinary character. With
this almost impossible combina-
ton of knowledge. virtue, poise
and psychological insight a man
could not be penurlous.
Neither is he supposed to be
enough of a business man to
ask for a salary high enough
to make a day laborer jealous.
His clientele does not seem
to consist merely of those in
his own parish or congregation,
but he is at the immediate call
of the halt, the lame and the
blind from the four winds.
We seek spiritual comfort
and call on him to perform
the rites of the church from
the cradle to the grave, but
deny him the right to express
even the mildest political opin-
ion. Bonaventura said of st.
Francis. "He was ! another
angle arising from the sunlight
bearing the seal of the Living
God" and I suspect some of
us still demand this high call
ing of our pastor while others
standing afar off" wonder
why such a fellow does not
go to work.
I believe the pastors, Of
whatever denomination, have
been the eternal hewers Of
wood and drawers of water;
the veritable bulwarks of
civilization. always calling us
to higher and holier things.
It is a 24-hour a day job
and can only be filled accept
ably by Gods best creation, a
real MAN.
