It Pays to Advertise

One Of the phenomena of the cur.
rent business revival is the increase
in sales Of advertised products.
During the time when business in.
dices were slipping downward, the
man selling advertised goods some
times was put up against difficult
competition and for fairly obvious
reasons.
Chief among these was his invest
ment in name. which is only an
other way of saying investment in
the faith and confidence of the pub
lic
He could not easily cheaper his
product to meet a price, whereas the
manufacturer whose name or brands
meant nothing was under no such
pressure to maintain quality. If price
was the controlling thing he could
make It.
Another and more complicated fac
tor was the fact that makers of ad-
vertised goods found it difficult to
play with prices. A good many OF
them offered articles for which the
public had become accustomed to
paying a certain price. They were
slow to increase prices on the upward
swing beginning in 1926, and they
hesitated to create a new price range
when the downward movement came
Still another situation was that in
volving labor. The maker OF adver-
tised products hardly ever operates
on the sweatshop principle. whereas
fly-by might manufacturers, with nc
regulations to be harmed, could ex.
plot the labor market to the utmost
Now the situation has changed be-
cause, while the public still is price
conscious, it is giving more attention
to quality and advertised goods offer
the best assurance of a high stand
ard at reasonable cost.
The firm which has a big invest
ment in customer goodwill cannot at
ford to jeopardize it by offering
shoddy goods.
The old maxim that the best way
to sell good product and the best
way to kill poor one is to advertise
still holds good.

Say Spectator Had
Big Dummy Accounts

Chicago, May 14.-R)-The federal
government charged Monday in open
ing its case against Arthur w. Cut
ten, widely known grain Spectator,
that Gluten maintained some "a
dummy accounts in eight Chicago
brokerage houses during 1880 and 1881
and that the eight brokers conspired
with him to keep gigantic grain
maneuvers secret.
Cutten is charged with concealing
large wheat deals in violation Of the
rule under the grain futures act which
requires traders to report when they
are lin" the market deeper than
100000 bushels.
THE government charges Cutten,
In some 80 per cent of his dealings,
was on the bear Side," said Attorney
Leo E. Tierney, representing the de-
partment Of agriculture. Cutten was
tremendous short seller and his
dealings totalled hundreds Of millions
Of bushels.
1.-THE government does not claim
that Cutten was to blame for the
crash of commodity prices, but 1t will
appear in evidence that there are
strange condolences of Cutten's
large sales and sudden price fluctua-

Terney's statement opened the gov
ernment's attempt to force the grain
operator, who has been prominent In
trading circles since the 1905, from
all contract markets.

new LEGISLATION
TO SPUR BUILDING
Proposed Laws Would Provide
Huge Sum for New Home
Construction

Washington, May 14.-(R)-Legisla-
ton requested by President Roosevelt
which Democratic leaders said would
provide possibly several billion dol
lars" for home construction and i'm.
provements, was introduced Monday
in congress.
It was offered by Chairman fetch.
er Of the senate banking committee q
short while after the president, In .
special message, had proposed gov
eminent insurance Of private financ.
ing for home construction and re.
pair. .......
The legislation was recommended
as q move to alleviate Distress" help
employment and raise living stand
ards.
Senator Robinson, the Democratic
leader, said 1t was Of such magnitude
that 1t probably would take two or
three weeks for final disposition.
Under the bill the government
would create two corporations with .
capital stock Of $500 ,00o, 900 to cooper
ate with private companies In the
huge program.
A home credit insurance corpora
ton is to be created with q capital
stock Of $2OO,O00,0O0 to be subscribed
by the treasury.
The corporation, Robinson explain
ed, would have power to insure all
types of approved financial institu-
tons against losses resulting from
credit extended to home owners In the
modernization Of their homes.
It also would have authority to in
sure amortized mortgages on owner
occupied homes, the insurance to be
on the mutual principle and on the
basis of 80 per cent Of the appraised
value as to new construction and so
per cent in the case Of existing homes.
The corporation would issue obi
cations guaranteed by the govern
ment and would act as fiscal agent
when so designated by the secretary
of the treasury.
Another provision contemplates
federal incorporation Of private
mortgage associations to lend upon.
and deal in real estate and to borrow
money for such purposes.
The minimum paid-in-capital stock
Of the associations would be $5,000,-
600 and the control and supervision
Of the associations would be under
the federal home loan bank board.

COMPREHENSIVE HELP
PROMISED IN MESSAGE

Minneapolis, May 14.-P)-Con-
gresham F. H. Shoemaker Monday
made public two kilograms from the
White House and from the federal
relief administration pledging COM
prehensive handling Of drought re-
lief in Minnesota in response to mes
sages sent by him asking for allot-
ment of at least 100000 for Min
nesota for May and June.
Congressman Shoem aker tele-
graphed President Roosevelt that seed
has been blown out of the ground
during recent dust storms and that
northwest families and livestock are
facing serious want and starvation.
Louis McHenry Howe, secretary to
President Roosevelt, wired in reply
that the president Is taking the mat
ter up with the FERA at once.'
Lawrence Westbrook, assistant to
Relief Administrator Hopkins, in
formed Shoemaker that "plans are
being worked out now with various
federal departments for comprehen-
sive handling Of the drought problem
in western states. In the meantime,
state relief administrators are in
structed to care for emergencies with
in the limit Of resources available"

has even appeared above the ground.
In many cases lack Of moisture pre-
vented termination. In others the
seed literally was blown from the
ground and whisked off, no one
knows where.
Whether or not It will be good pol
Icy to replant these ruined fields Of
small grain is doubtful. II we were
to get rain at once we still could make
. crop, although the planting season
for wheat in this area Is now far ad-
vanced.
Our hope for feed now lies In such
crops as corn and soy beans, particu-
larly corn. but many farmers will
need help in getting seed.
The agricultural department, UNI
der Secretary Wallace, has shown q
real interest in and sympathy for the
farmer. In many respects it has done
q wonderful job In the emergency
created by the price situation. Now
it faces another emergency in which
quick and decisive action is impera-
tive. for In this situation we need
leadership and encouragement as
we'll as substantial help.
A quick survey of the situation
would seem to be in order, to be fol-
lowed by helpful suggestion and ma
terial aid
We need not get our hearts in our
mouths too quickly. for this section
has surmounted other reverses, but
the situation is critical and we may
as well recognize the fact.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Harm? It Is a Pleasure!

Is there any harm in one who is un-
derweight drinking glass Of sweet
cream daily? "a. o.
A1lswer-Certainly not, if he or she
can take it. AS rule it is better to
take half cream and half milk, and
that only some two or three hours af-
ter meals, or at bedtime. Also the
milk or cream is better If RAW, If
you can get raw milk or cream that
is safe to drink. Certified Milk Is
ideal.
Coffee
How much coffee Is it safe for q
person to drink each day? I have
diabetes and want to keep on the safe
side. IN. B. W.
Answer-You may take clear coffee
without sugar or creamy about as
freely as anybody. II you use sugar,
milk or cream or any substitutes for
these In coffee, you should have your
physicians advice about the quantity
you can tolerate.
Motherhood Is Worth It
I will soon be AZ. My first child
was born l6 years ago, died at birth.
Eleven years later my next child, now
years old, was born prematurely. I
am healthy enough. Would it be too
risky for me to have another child
at my age? MRS. I. Jo
Answer-If you can still roll SOM
ersault and come up smiling you can
have another child.

and possible tho I believe highly I'm.
likely that they may be spread In
some instances by the custom OF shak-
ing hands. These models Of infec-
ton are comparatively insignificant,
in my Judgment. The main way in
which illness spreads, believe, Is via
droplet or spray infection, and I am
convinced (tho don't believe many
other doctors are) that it is in the cas-
ual conversational spray that the vast
majority OF victims succumbs to in
lection. I believe that most Of the re-
spiratory infection which some sani-
tary students ascribe to hand shaking
is really conversational spray infec-
ton, for when you have an opponent
by the hand you can pepper him thor
oily with few hearty words Of greet
ing or q laugh and a farewell. Mind,
I do not imply that you splash when
you talk-like Weber explaining
things to Fields. I tell you it is i'm
possible to converse politely and pro-
perly without emitting spray.

YOU HAD BETTER KNOW ABOUT
SPRAY INFECTION

When I was about to talk about
this important health question over q
national broadcasting chain the CEN
sor OF the broadcasting company In
sisted that omit all reference to the
spray given off during ordinary con-
versation. He interposed no objec-
ton to references to the spray given
OF during coughing or sneezing, but
forbade reference to the equally dam
gerous conversational spray, on the
strange ground that it might be un-
pleasant for listeners to think about
it! Far be it from me to imagine that
the sponsors Of many radio programs
would expect the broadcasting COM
pany to do its duty in situation like
that.
Every one knows that during sneez-
ing or coughing more or less spray Is
shot from nose and mouth, because
the droplets in such spray are often
quite visible. But during ordinary
conversation a similar spray is given
off, only it is less apparent because
the droplets are too fine to be no.
ticed, as rule. Yet the droplets Of
moisture, mucus or other secretion
may contain the germs or virus Of dis
ease, whether the spray is produced
by coughing or sneezing or by talk
ing.
There is q difference between cough
or sneeze spray with nose and mouth
uncovered and conversation spray.
The cough or sneeze spray carries up
to ten or twelve feet, while the spray
from ordinary talking carries less
than five feet from the nose or mouth
(uncovered). This has been precise
ly measured by scientific investiga-
tors. It Is not guesswork.
The inference which we should
draw from this is plain and practical.
When you have the cri or when you
meet or associate with any one who
has it, you are beyond effective range
as long as you can manage to keep
at least five feet away. At that dis
lance you are reasonably safe or your
associate is, as the circumstance may
be, provided you are reasonably polite
and do not sneeze or cough OPEN
face, either in the face of your assO-
ciate or upon the environment. OF
course suitable muzzle or mask
should be required for animals that
indulge in open-face coughing or
sneezing in the presence OF intelligent
persons; a muzzle or kick where 1t
will impress the animal most.
It is entirely probable that respira-
tory infections are spread by kissing,

insult Handicapped Brokers

Passage by the senate of the stock
market control bill marks the end of
as bitter a fight as this session of
congress has known.
Numerous arguments have been
advanced against the measure bv
brokers and others and some OF them
doubtless are sound. In the effort
to correct situation which doubtless
needed change, there was the obvious
possibility of going 50 far as to ham,
string business in obtaining new
capital. This, at least, was the claim
OF the bills opponents and it would
be rare thing il some truth were
not found on both sides OF the argu-
ment.
The bill itself is based on the Brit
ash industries act under which some
leading English financiers have been
sentenced to Jail in recent years and
that without previously going bank
rupt, usually necessary prelude to
such prosecution in this country.
Chief among these was Lord Kylsant.
a titan Of industry whose companies
sent out a prospectus speaking too
glowingly of the shipping business.
That the demand for some sort Of
restrictive legislation was sincere and
widespread is rather obvious. Too
many people lost money tn the crash
OF high-financed concerns to view
with equanimity the return Of former
conditions. A good many Of them
have nothing more to lose, but even
these wanted no recurrence Of the
conditions under which they were
conducted to the financial abattoir.
Even in the face of this demand,
however, it is possible that the terms
of the bill would have been softened
had It not been for the insult Incl
dent. The return Of the Chicago man
to the scene Of his former greatness
just as action on the measure neared
conclusion, was unfortunate for the
bills opponents. It served to EN-
phasize all over again what happened
to the American investor in the brave
days when fortunes were being made
on paper. It served to give the bill
more importance in the public and
congressional mind than might have
been attached to it at another period
The American people usually get
what they want and they certainly
wanted curb on the practices of
high finance.
Whether 1t will do all they want
or expect It to do is questionable.
That there are no loopholes in the
measure as finally enacted seems
doubtful. That it will place some
handicaps upon honest financial OPP
erations may be taken for granted, II
Tor no other reason, because Of the
psychological attitude toward it.
But we have 1t, for better or for
worse, and will have opportunity to
zee how 1t works out.
