COURAGE IN ADVERTISING

The only shackles retailers wear to-
day are the ones they have fastened
on themselves-shackles of fear, of
inertia, and of mental laziness, espec-
tally in the, field of advertising, ac-
cording to Kenneh Collins, advertis-
ing executive and assistant to the
president of Gimbel Brothers, in re-
cent issue of the Rotarian Magazine.
II can name only one daring move
in the whole field of retail advertising
this year. One single interesting, ex-
citing experiment" he says in an an
alysis of what's wrong with recall
ing. advertising, the normal motive
power in business, has become all
clogged up with doubts and fears. It's
pretty nearly ready for DR.. Freud and
his psycho-analytic brethren. I can
name only two OF three really out
standing sales-producing campaigns in
national advertising. A few years back
almost anybody could name hundreds.
"Did these exciting, interesting, dar-
ing efforts pay? Of course they did.
So has practically every effort with
any sparkle in it, no matter how small,
that l have seen. For now, especially
when the competition of exciting ad-
vertising is so negative, the adver-
Using campaign with anything ON the
BALI stands hugs chance for success.
And what 1 said about the advertising
campaign with sparkle, say of any
business plan with punch, with cour-
age. 1t will have less competition to-
day than in many years. This is the
time for the business man with Wis
ion, with ideas, to make a cleanup.
"Pretty nearly every manufacturer
and retailer with whom I have talked of
late" he continues, chad his 'alibi' for
all business lethargy the govern
ment. He overlooks the fact that prac-
tically every index for retail business
has shown an upward trend for two
years. Instead of accepting the chal-
lenge of the new conditions-what-
ever they may be, as did our fathers
we retailers of the '30's, have taken
them as an excuse for do-nothing at
titude and a conservatism which
smack of complete inertia. Too many
of US have been waiting, like Micaw-
Der, for something to turn up,
eve are playing the game SO de-
fensively that we are dong. almost
nothing to help in the great work of
business recovery. We are afraid to
speak out good ringing Yes, let's try
it!' to anything different or novel or
unusual or experimental. The only
thing that is hindering us is lack of
courage"

we visited many people living on

farms and, therefore, better oppor-
tunity to be self supporting than many
others who have never applied for re-

lasting credit of many of our citizens
who are struggling on small farms un-
der adverse conditions that they have
by their own indomitable will and

while some of their neighbors more
fortunate perhaps than they, were
willing to become dependent upon

In our interview with many young
men who, with their families, are liv-

PEELED to the conclusion that these men
will never give up their easy life so
long as the government continues to
provide for their families. In one
afternoon, we visited three young men
in consecutive order who had all been
to the same doctor. All three of these
young men had heart trouble and ac-
cording to their story an x-ray re-

men, of course, are listed on the rolls

To the Editor of The Republican:
Dear Sir:-It seems that the better
class of people does not make much
noise if one makes a mistake and gets
bad treatment for it. believe they
should, for mistake when confessed
should be held up to encourage hon
esty. ..~...
If the dishonest or underworld peo-
pie willfully do a wrong or crime
you will see many people of the bet
ter class put forth an effort to get
them out, with money, talk, and some
times big petitions. Anything to hold
up their theory of crime to call it
right.
When we think of a man who has
been useful, who has helped to make
this community better, and is still
useful, and tries to be ,law-abiding,
and because he makes a minor mistake
that hurt no one, butt was honest
enough to confess it, they place him in
Jail. Is it right or honest to punish a
man like that and deprive his people
and county of his usefulness? . 80
Mr.. George Harvey, accidentally
killed a buck during deer season with
not enough antlers to comply with the
law, but it was a buck and not doe.
He was honest and reported the kill
ing. He is the type man it takes to
help enforce the law on men who will
fully break it. The Game warden
knows and a multitude of other people
know that many bucks: are killed with
not enough antlers, that many does
are killed by persons not honest, and
they cannot be caught because of lack
of cooperation.
Can we be safe with an honest man
in jail and the dishonest out of it?

BILLIONS OF DEBT

With the national debt passing the
30-billion dollar mark and still going
up; with practically every state,
county and most communities swelling
the grand total, the citizen whose tax
paying ability is distinctly limited,
wonders how much farther this course
can be followed without complete fl
nancial collapse on the part of all
four. &C.
That there must be a change, halt,
that the wholesale spending with its
unacceptable burdens on the individual
must be stopped, is clear to every
body. The problem now is how to put
on the brakes. Our chief hope is that a
definite and satisfactory manner of
doing the necessary thing will be
found at Cleveland next June.

DIPHTHERIA DEATHS IN
MARYLAND ON THE WAIVE
Fourteen Counties Have Had No
Fatal Cases During Year

Fourteen of the % counties of the
State have had no deaths from diph-
liberia to date, during the current year.
The counties on this list include Balti-
more, Calvert, Carroll, Charles, Dor
chester, Frederick, Howard, Kent,
Montgomery, Prince Georges, st.
Mary's, Talbot, Wicomico and Worces-
ter counties. Two of the counties, Cal
vert and Howard, have an unbroken
record of no deaths from diphtheria
for four years in succession; five
Kent, Montgomery, st. Mary's, Talbot
and Worcester-for three years, and
two-Carroll and Prince Georges
have had no deaths from that disease
for the last two years.
Speaking Of this record, DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, said: Zone of the
health goals of every county depart
ment of health is the protection of
every young child in the county
against this entirely preventable dis
ease. Last year, over $4,000 young
children, in the counties of Maryland
were immunized against diphtheria at
clinics held under the direction of the
county department of health. Similar
clinics are under way this year. In
some sections of the State they are be-
ing conducted under the joint direction
of the county health departments and
the county medical society. Private
physicians are assisting at some of
them, and the county health officers
are conducting others. The toxoid used
in the county clinics is furnished by
the State Department of Health.
"Since the establishment of full-time
health service in every county in the
state there has been steady de-
crease-year by year-in both sick
mes and deaths from the disease. In
1882 there were 914 cases of diphthe-
ria, with So deaths reported in the
State. Of this total, $50 cases and 81
deaths occurred in the counties. In
1884, when sos cases and % deaths
were reported in the State, the totals
from the counties dropped to 397
cases and 16 deaths. Up to the first
of December of this year 355 cases and
IL deaths were reported in the State,
and of these totals, 258 of the cases
and IL deaths occurred in the coun--
ties. "a ....',
"Like all other. activities carried on
by the county departments of health,
protection against diphtheria is CO.
operative undertaking. Mothers are
advised to have their babies protected
against diphtheria by the time they
are six months old, preferably by the
family doctor. An opportunity is al
ways given to have the babies and
children under school age-who have
not been immunized against the dis
ease-protected at the clinics that are
held for the older children and that
generally take place in the schools.
Casually when a case of diphthe-
ria occurs, the report says this child
was not protected against this dis.
ease.' A great many mothers have fol-
lowed the advice of the doctors and
have had their babies protected. 9th

The Social Security Bill was passed
by Congress, but funds have not as
yet been appropriated. When this ap-
preparation is made the Federal gov
eminent will pay one-half of the cost
of Old Age Assistance, plus 5 per-
cent allowance for administration.
Also, the Federal government will pay
one-third of the cost of Aid to Deepen

lie Assistance to unemployables. State
Funds at present available will be

When the player hurries the backswing, timing of the shot is thrown out of gear, and the harder he tries to hit the ball, the worse the results.
 A checkup will show that the backswing is not completed, and the player is not taking full free turn in starting the downswing before the backswing is completed.
 When this takes place, the golf CT throws too much body into the swing, instead of allowing the body to turn slowly 50 that the arms can do the swinging. This is often re- ferred to as hitting with the stomach"

Cal, who have ruled the Hudson three straight times, and the hus- kies from the northwest lumber belt were even money favorites this morning to win with Cornell, run- ner-up last year, an eight to five choice to break California's string of triumphs. The Middies of Anna polls, who gave the East It's last victory in 1881, were next in the wagering at 0-2. Columbia was 8-i; Pennsylvania l2.i and Syracuse 20.l. "
 All coaches agreed that the men from the Golden State in their shell "California Clipper" are the ones to beat. The Westerners who won in 1882, 1884 and 1885 (there was no race in l03S) and took olympic ti- ties in 1928 and 1882 are out to equal Cornell's record of four straight, set between the years 1909 and 1912, and then 60 on to the Olympics in Berlin.
