EFFICIENCY LACKING

IN several occasions various cities have
" made complaint concerning the neces-
sity of detailing large numbers Of police
men to traffic duty.
An outgrowth of the automobile devel-
opment, the traffic policeman in the city
has come to be accepted as a necessary
part of the public welfare. Many ex-
pertS are asking noW-is it really essen
tial that men trained in police work
should be delegated to perform duties
that are, at the very most, merely rou-
tine?
Citizens complain about the prevalence
of crime and police heads complain that
citizens do not give them enough active
policemen to cope with crime, and the
cycle goes merrily on.
The complaint of the police heads re-
ceived costly endorsement in Minneapolis
this week. A gang of robbers held up
one Of the large banks in an outlying sec
ton of the city and escaped without fir
ing a shot and with upwards of $150000
of the banks money.
Two policemen were within block of
the bank and knew nothing of the rob
berry until it was all over. They were
engaged in giving traffic ticket to
motorist who had violated some minor
city ordinance.
The driver of this car was a RESPONSE
BILE citizen. 1t was at first believed he
might have been a partner of the rob-
bers, deliberately violating an ordinance
to draw the police off while his COM
panions carried out their work. Invest
igation cleared him of this suspicion.
Just why it should require two police
men to give out the traffic ticket is diff
ficut to explain. 1t is custom that
has grown up with the development of
traffic control.
Cutting a corner, passing a signal
light, parking in an improper place are
treated by the police with all the out
ward signs of major offenses when they
are really insignificant compared with
the general lawlessness that exists in
metropolitan areas.
The police are not to be blamed for
this. 1t is merely part Of the system.
Eventually, perhaps, plan will be
worked out whereby traffic can be CON
troled under separate department,
leaving the police free to do what they
are supposed to do-catch criminals.

THE SUCCESSFUL ONES

InhEE convincing arguments regard
ing the value of newspaper advertiS-
lnG are presented this week in the an
:nounceWents by two nationally known
ihstitutiops that they have increased their
advertisifg quotas for 1882
isst t3e reader be confused by differ
effce n. Numbers in the foregoing par
agraph, the third instance referred to is
the means taken by Henry Ford to pre-
sent his new car to the American people.
Practically, every newspaper in the
country this week carries a full page ad-
vertisement regarding Ford's new car.
There is no doubt Ford learned Just what
this means in sales results when he fol-
lowed the same procedure in announcing
his Model A car several years ago
The other two institutions are the
Standard Oil Company of California and
the Anheuser- Busch Inc. of st. Louis.
Mo.
Both of these concerns have greatly
inceased the 1882 newspaper advertis-
ing appropriations over their 1881 fig
ures, asserting that this is the best means
known to them for reaching the object
i've of every business an increase in
sales volume.
Ford is following up his full page cam
paign with advertisements somewhat
SHndlleF III Size Out equally 6lIlcdClOuS
in obtaining results.
The Standard Oil Company and An
heuser-Busch schedules call for larger
and more frequent advertising through
out the year.
Nobody can successfully challenge
the business success apd business acumen
Of these three CONCERNS. Others may
talk of depression bdt they go along get
ting business as usual. Critics might
point out that large numbers of Ford
employees were idle for many months.
This is true, but was due principally to
the preparatory work essential in reyo-
lutionizing all the Ford industry in pre-
paration for the new model.
Other concerns equally successful as
the three named, find newspaper adver-
tising to be the best medium offered
them for reaching the public. One
doesn't pass it at 45 miles an hour, nor
is newspaper advertising forced on the
reader if he prefers to read something
else.
1t is a safe, sane, legitimate and high
iy efficacious means of reaching the ul-
innate consumer.

claiming tomorrow as our birthday.

George Morrison of Maple Street Making Good in
 Army Signal Corps
GOOD TRADE SCHOOL

George Morrison, formerly of this city. but at present private, headquarters Co 9th Infantry, IS making good as a student in the radio electrician course in the army signal school, Fort Monmouth. N. J. Private Morrison is the son of Mrs Harry Morrison of 50 Maple street, this city.
 He entered the army to learn a trade, and 1t is pleasure to know that another of our home town boys is making good in the world.
 The army signal school where Private Morrison is enrolled is one of the best trade schools in the country and each year turns out nearly 300 graduates, many of whom return to civil life and en- ter upon the occupations that they studied at the school. This school conducts courses for radio electric ians. radiQ operators, telephone el- ectricians. meteorologists, Morse telegraphers and photographers. Those who become enamored with the army life find m outlet for their energies and ambitions in the vast communication systems main- tained by our army. These systems extend firm Nicaragua and Panama in one direction, to Alaska in the opposite direction and from New York or Boston to the Philippines and China.
 Graduates of this school who do not care for army life, after grad uatiop readily find excellent posi- tions in the commercial communi- cation companies of the country. The rapid development of com mercial aviation has caused large demand for trained radio operators and meteorological observers and these courses are always crowded.
 The army signal school Is an especial boon to those energetic and ambitious young men who for various reasons are unable to ob- tain a college education. for here at no cost to themselves they arc given an education and training that will fit them to become active and useful citizens in any com- munity.
 The army signal school which has graduated over 4000 enlisted men of all combatant branches of the army and marine corps is at present commanded by Colonel A. s. Cowan. signal corps, United States army.
