Business will recover when the latent buying pow

The thing which will create desire is advertising, and
the advertising that has made great enterprise
amazingly successful is that which is laid before them

Your Own Business
An automobile man makes the sensible suggestion
that in fighting current business obstacles, we all
"whttle problems down to our own size so that we
deal with them"
ut is ridiculous he says, "for the average man
to himself with world problems In fact,
doubt that any has the mentality capable of
handling ntelgently the complicated situation of the
world. Therefore suggest that each individual de-
vote his entire thought and labor to conducting his
own business on sound basis. If we have enough
sound small businesses, we will have sound nation"
1t is possible to override this attitude by accepting
it too literally 1t is certainly not ridiculous for the
average to think about world problems, and to
tell economists, industriasts and statesmen what he
is thinking. People should know what is going
And out of thinking good is likely to come;
structive ideas appear here and there But generally
speaking, he is right tree grows by every little
root doing it's work the best it knows how

A Whole Division Lost
Thirty-fve thousand men, women and children
annhilated instantly died agonzng DEATH in the
United States in 1881 in the most ferocious battle
waged-the Battle of Automobiles. There was no
truce; quarters asked or given; ruthless, contn
humiliation of life day and night. Ninety-six
human beings being driven into the jaws of death
every twenty-four hours. A conservative estimate
would place destroyed partially destroyed proper
ty in the form of automobiles at $1O,0OOOO0 What
staggering tragedy! An army division of infantry
comprises about $4,000 If the division went into
battle and every last destroyed together
with all its equipment, that would be about equivalent
to the loss in the battle of automobiles in the United
States in single year. Should such tragic end come
to army division the country would be stirred to
its very foundation yet in the face of the appalling
loss in life through automobile accidents, it seems i'm
possible to arouse general interest few China
men are killed by Japs in Manchura and Immediately
country thousands of miles away is stirred and
the incident requires official attention So considerable
are we of the humanitarian side of destroyed in
quarrel between nations. But life sacrificed under
nose to speak, the altar of the god of
speed receives little notice. any, except from those
who are left to mourn each individual tragedy
Our people can be worked into collective giving of mil
ions of dollars to prevent, for instance, tuberculosis
What inconsistency With one eye see the ravage
of disease and with hand try to prevent its TOLL
but we shut the other eye against devastating
ster the death by automobile, and the other hand
not lifted to do anything The mortality due to auto
mobile accidents for 1881 is about five per great
er than the preceding year. What will it be in 1892?
The killing goes among the high and the low, on
byways and highways and on crowded city streets No
partialty is shown in the death Olivia Journ-
