ADVERTISING AID
TO SALES SHOWN
in COAST SURVEY
BY United Press

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22.-(U.P)
Newspaper subscribers purchase
from y to 81 percent more mer-
chandise from their home town
merchants than do non -SubScrib-
erS, according to a survey COM
pleted by the University of South
ern California journalism depart
ment.
1t was found subscribers to the
home town newspaper buy from
9 to 35 per cent more merchandise
from advertisers than non-adver-
tiSers.
Marc N. Goodnow, director of
the survey, said the investigation
proved the local newspaper is max
ing a large contribution to the eco
nomic welfare of smaller cities.
Advertising in home town news
papers was analyzed as having
contributed materially to habits
of purchasers, Goodnow reported.
He recommended that merchants
urge their patrons to subscribe to
the paper to save money.
Newspaper advertising increased
merchants volumes from "a per-
cent for ladies' shoes to 9 per cent
for mems shoes with other in
creaSes reported between the two
figures, the survey showed.
Percentage of increase in the
merchants sales depends upon the
character and assortment of the
merchandise and presentation of
the advertisement, Goodnow re-
ported.

Mrs. H. Price of Woodside, L. l., writes: "A year ago I weighed 190 lbs. I started to take Kruschen and now weigh 126 and never felt bet ter in my life and what's more, I look more like 20 yrs. old than the mother of 2 children, one 19 and the other Is.

 To lose fat SAFELY and HARM LESSLY, take half teaspoonful of Kruschen in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast don't miss morning-a bottle that lasts 4 weeks costs but trifle-but don't take chances - be sure it's Kruschsn-your health comes first get it at Butler Mauro Drug Go. or Juneau Drug Go. or any drug store in America.

The Decline of Liberty.
Cincinnati Enouirer.)

Apart from economic depression and interna- tiona frctions there has been no more dscouraging trend in postwar years than the decline of human liberty in almost every quarter of the world Every country of course cut short the liberties of the individual in wartime a of furthering national efficiency to win battles. The impetus lof that movement has not been checked. On the Icontrary, it seems to have gained momentum.
 Italy led off with the concept of Fascism which has overthrown not only the idea of representative government but also the belief that the individual lexisted in his own right. He is today creature of the State nothing Poland inaugurated an official terrorism to repress insurgent minority nationalites, as did other countries of Eastern Europe
 Russia set up a machine as resourceful and cunning and inhuman as the espionage of the Czars | to throttle all non- Communists and in America we have passed syndicalism and deportation laws to stamp out Communists Germany shot through with conflicting aims has restored to emergency powers which strongly dictatorship, including cen- sorship stricter by far than that of Bismarck. Spain languished under dictatorial government seven years, and still cannot restore completely under the Republic the full rights of citizens India is under an iron hand of legal despotsm Cuba and many smaller countries ruled in large part by their military police, rather than by law.
 l The exceptions are few and trifling. England Switzerland Holland and Scandinavia have few of the earmarks of despotism, and have made few in- vasions individual rights. These may survive the era of tension passing through In any event, it seems likely that until the world is re- stored to a wholly new and enduring economic equilibrium human liberty will remain under a shadow

 The room in which they sat was FbeaHtifully appointed. The walls were of cool buff paneled with muisals of a Persian motif, the in dows were high and wide and hung with heavy amber satin that seemed, today, to catch and hold the gold of the afternoon sunlight; !; the Same high note of color was re- peated in the delicate fabric of the chairs and divan, and reflected in the prisms of the crystal can delabra around the walls.
 4fChivers is lecuuring today" Carol said significantly. She wanted her mother to know that she had considered going to hear Chivers read from his own verse, in spite of the fact that Gar was coming home with a bride; she wanted hre mother to know, too, that she was not missing it out of any curiosity over Kitty, for as far as she was concerned she didn't care what Kitty was like any more than to hope fervently that she was quite a mess. She was staying to watch her mothers technique.
 | When Cars letter had come tell ing them briefly that he was mar ried Carol had exulted. Now the precious boy had done something his mother could not gloss over She had looked for tears on her mothers part, anger, denunciation But if Mrs. Frew shed any tears she had shed them in secret and her smiling acceptance of the situ- ation had held not even hint or resignation. Carol had told her self that her mother was too clever I to show her hand yet she'd watch for the first move. And she'd thought her mother might make il this afternoon.
 But when her mothers absorp- tion in the arrangement Of the tea things betrayed that she was not even hearing what Carol said and therefore could not be told, ever

c. o. P. TURNING AGAINST NOBLE
 EXPERIMENT.

The polling of ninety-seyen wet votes by the Republicans in the National House of Represen- tatives almost one-half of the G. o. P. member ship makes it certain that there will be very interesting wet and dry fight at the Republican National Convention in June That wet vote will add power to determined Republicans to relieve their party of the odium of sponsorship for the Noble Experiment" Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler will draw a strong bow at Chicago in early June.
 The vote in Congress adds plausibilty to rumors that President Hoover wants moist platform on which to stand during the coming campaign It ought to make it plain to anyone that candidate for President will stand chance to get the large Eastern States if he is committed to continuation of Vosteadism
 The chance seems to be more than even that the advanced thinkers in both parties will oppose Prohibition in both Chicago conventions, and that they will have the most of the delegates with them
 It is safe to predict that Prohibition will not be with us more than two years longer.

talk that over with Mother
 Kitty reused to look about her, a sudden tenderness yelling in her eyes.
 This is your own room, Gar? Your little-boy's room!"
 He had to kiss her for the tone in her voice. Well, moved up here after I graduated from a nurse but I don't think you'll find any toys about" He surveyed his possessions proudly, tennis rackets, foils, boxing gloves, varied collec- ton of trophies, innumerable fram- ed photographs of college groups, girls, dogs, horses, speed boats.
 Pound came in then, coughing discreetly. Under Cars direction he deposited the bags and retreated.
 Gar, don't ask your mother to change us. This-this is nice" Her tone was pleasing, her eyes pleaded. She could not explain that she felt more secure here in this room that was Cars, more his, because the fear of sharing him was too new born a thing within her to voice it.
 "Oh. well, just as you say, sweet. " It'll only be for little while, Gar She walked about the room, looking at it's photographs. Over his desk hung a framed picture of Mar gerry Crosby in beautiful pose. Kitty regarded it, smiling unconcernedly.
 Here, I'll open your bag" Gar said. You must doll up to meet the mother, Kit
 At that her apprehension took swift hold of her again The trous- seau she had assembled in that to- short week of preparation contained only two of what Bridgewater call ed "dress-up" dresses, a soft blue lowered crepe and a more practi- cal rust-colored silk.
 And while she was weighing her choice she thought of Cars mother. Gar, you love your mother very, very much, don't you?" He did not notice the soberness of her voice. Devoted" he an-

The Assistant Secretary of the Navy went to sea in bowl-and very fragile one--in his ad- dress Wednesday evening in the praise of the Pres dent He announced a list of Republican doc rnes' which would be presented to the people next November under the standard of Herbert Hoover"
 One of these doctrines is Republican opposition to the League of Nations which, according to the veraeous Assistant Secretary would have meant surrender of national sovereignty" Against that humiliation the Republican Party contended, and the people stod by it with a majority of more than | 100000
 Who could have gathered from this that MT. Hoover one of the who in 1920 spoke with
 the utmost fervor in favor of joining the League of Nations? He then raised his standard alongside that of Woodrow Wilson MT.

through the most subtle insinuatior why she was remaining, Carol shut her lips in a thin line, half-smile half-sneer.
 When Gar and Kitty came in Mrs. Frew rose and went to meet Gar, her hands outstretched. My dear boyl" She was as tall as Gar She took his head in her hands and kissed him. And Gar embraced her, boyishly, a little roughly, mar ticulate for the moment in his rush of affection. They might have been meeting alone in the room for any awareness on their part of Kitty or Carol.
 Mrs. F'rew disengaged herself from Cars arms, smiling, one hand holding his. And this is-you- wife?" Her faint hesitation indi- cated that at the moment hltty's name had escaped her.

 His tone put to shame her panic. her concern for the shortcomings of Bridgewater's best dressmaker, even her dread of sharing Gar.
 Downstairs, Carol Frew sat care- lessly on the arm of chair watch ing her mother direct Pound in the placing of the tea-table. "A little more to the right, Pound Did you tell Sim to make the mushroom sandwiches
 Pound had told Sim. The sand wiches were on the silver plate, the lemons cut to delicate thinness, each slice neatly pierced with cloves. There was candied ginger, and little cakes scarcely bigger than thimbles.

The two, mother and daughter, were much alike in feature, smooth brown hair, gray eyes, heavy lidded, high-bridged nose, even contour of cheek and chin, and thin finely curved lips.
