PREMATURE HALLOWEEN

All over the country police orders
seem to be going out against premature
celebrations of Halloween. From the
standpoint of irrepressible youth this may
seem like tyrannical oppression. But tyran-
nical or otherwise. something of the sort
seems necessary.
But is youth entirely responsible for
the early celebration of this autumn fes-
tival of witchery and mystery? What can
a healthy youth think when it sees windows
agloW with masks, false faces, costumes.
table decorations and other objects sugges-
tive of the Halloween season? 1t would
be an odd boy indeed who with such slim
ulation did not begin to think of tick-tacks,
chalked windows, corn-throwing and the
more reckless phases of the celebration
Of course this nation cannot become
so paternalistic as to forbid the display of
a merchants goods and it cannot very eff
fectively control the thinking of youth and
so about all it can do is what it is doing.
promise dire punishment for the lads and
lassies who begin their Halloween cele-
brations too far in advance of the day set
for that purpose.
What, of course, is not clear to older
minds is what fun the youngsters get out of
a half-month's celebration of Halloween.
From recollections of childhood the old
folks can readily understand how to pack
a lot of fun into night or two of revelry,
but the idea of thinning it out over week
or more has little appeal for the elders.
though apparently the young folks see it
differently.

WHEN TO STOP ADVERTISING

Gazette, Lexington, Virginia)
When every man has become so
thoroughly creature of habit that he will
certainly buy this year where he bought
last year.
When younger, and fresher and
sprinkler concerns in your line cease start
ing up and using the newspapers in telling
the people how much better they can do
for them than you can.
When nobody else thinks ''it pays to
advertise"
When population ceases to multiply
and the generations that crowd on after
you, and never heard of you, come on.
When you have convinced everybody,
whose life will touch yours, that you have
better goods and lower prices than they
can ever get anywhere outside of your
store.
When you perceive it to be the rule
that men who never do and never did ad-
vertise are outstripping their neighbors in
the same line of business.
When men stop making fortunes right
in your sight, solely through the discreet
use of this mighty agent
When you can forget the words of the
shrewdest and most successful business men
concerning the main cause of their pros
perity.
When you would rather have your own
way and fail than take advice and win.
When you want to go out of business
with stock on hand.
When you want to get rid of the
trouble of waiting on customers.

WAGES OF CRIME

Does crime pay? Available figures
say it does not Criminals must think il
does or there wouldn't be so many of them
and so few who reform. The probability
is that crime pays large dividends as long
as the criminal is out of jail, but doesn't
pay even preachers salary" when the
lawbreaker runs afoul of the law. 1t is
known with certainty that crime does not
pay for the time the criminal spends behind
the bars. I.
The point with which the public is
concerned is that no figures, however con-
elusive of the economic failure of convicts,
will have much effect on the activities OF
the criminal. If there is one thing that is
impossiblsait is to argue an underworld
character. or even a potential criminal. IN
to obedience to law The crook is by
nature gambler, and he is willing to take
chances of making good his escape after q
robbery. He recognizes that he will be q
loser if caught and convicted. but it is the
large chance he has of escaping ppth nc
punishment that helps make crime pre-.
valent.
Law enforcement officers point to the
fact that certainty Of punishment Of the bis
profiteers in the criminal game IS what is
most needed in the United States.
