WHY NEWSPAPERS E A

Newspapers continued as tops
in advertising media in 1885, anc
here is why, according to Prof
Thomas F. Barnhardt of the Uni
versity of Minnesota:
Newspaper reading is a univ.
ersal habit. Newspaper advertising
therefore, reaches virtually all who
read and buy.
2-Newspaper advertisement can
always be seen by the reader.
3-The newspaper advertise
ment, as part of the complete
paper goes into the home as a well
come guest.
1.-The newspaper advertisement,
can have as much reader interest
and news value as the news item.
5-The amount of text used in
newspaper advertisements is de-
pendent only upon the size of space,
6-Newspaper advertising is
flexible.
7-Newspaper advertising is
quickly controlled:
s-Newspaper advertising may
be adjusted to different conditions,
9-Newspaper advertising en-
ables manufacturers and dealers tt
state where their products may b.
bought.
1o-Newspaper advertising is in.
expensive. Merchants have learned
that it covers more families for les:
money than any other form Of ad.
vertising.
"11-Newspaper advertising re-
suits may be checked.
12-Newspaper circulation i
known and is Comparatively unaf
fected by daily change.
13-Newspaper advertising re
duces selling costs because it entail
no waste of circulation. This help
reduce costs for the consumer.
Newspaper advertising" say
Professor Barnhart, "builds conf
dence and good will, attracts new
customers, increases sales, and sta
bilizes merchandise, methods an
process"

SAFETY champions
Among the motorists who will
converge On New York on August
81 to take part in the highway
safety tourney, sponsored by the
c. l. T. Safety Foundation, is one
man who has driven more than L.
00O,0 900 miles without a single ac-
cident. His name is Edward P.
Macaulay and he lives at Scheme
ctady, New York.
The first state to nominate its
best driver for this national event
was Michigan, which will be repre-
sented by a woman, Mae A. Fisher
of Detroit, who has been driving
a car for Sc years and has covered
963,363 miles without any more
serious accident than a scratched
fender.
When the 40 "best drivers of
the nation get together and discuss
their experiences in public no ex-
cuse will be left for anybody re-
naming in ignorance as to the es-
sentials of safe driving. There
isn't any such excuse now, for that
matter, except the inertia of the
public. The only way to make
motoring safe is to educate every
driver.
DOGS not guilty
About the %silliest performance
have ever heard of was the solemn
strial' at Lockport, N. Y, of a dog
which was accused Of murder. A
boy went swimming in the Err
Canal. A friendly dog swan aftel
him, playfully tried to scramble vi
on the boys back, and the boy wa
drowned.
There was no evidense whatever
that the dog was virious. He wa
doing just what any dog, used tt
playing with boys, might have done
What makes the whole affair 81
silly is that otherwise sensible peo
pie acted as if a dog were a re
sponsible human being. The notion
/ that animals have human fattri
butes, think human thoughts or ad
from human motives is a popula
and widely-held absurdity, foster
ed BY tales of the bedtime story
type.
i Sometimes I think that mos
people never grow up.

FRIDAY, AUGUST FL, 1886
N IN THE PUBLIC
SERVICE

Every little while the cables car.
ny a bit of news from England
reads strangely to Americans. Such
for example, is the report of thu
dismissal from office of Sir Chris.
topher Bullock, permanent secre.
tary of the Az Ministry, because
he had attempted to use his officia.
position for his personal benefit.
"What does a man take a govern
ment job for if not for his personal
benefit?'' is the natural question Of
any American familiar with ou1
political methods.
We look upon all public office
as political. The British system
leaves the Civil Service entirely on,
of politics. Cabinet members are.
of course, politicians; but the men
under them, who actually run the
affairs of the Empire, are what we
would call career men," who can
not be dismissed so long as they dc
their work, never for political rea-
sons, and who make administration
their life work. Nobody asks in
England whether a public servant
belongs to this party of to that. HI
is above and outside of party anc
political influences.
In his official conduct, moreover
he is bound by a code of honor
which, though unwritten, is a rigie
and as high as hat of the Army
and Navy, by word or act, may
the British Civil Servant violat'
that code. Especially he may no
use his public office as a spring
board from which to jump int
private employment.
Sir Christopher Baldwin was trie'
and convicted of "interlacing tn
public negotiations intrusted t
him with the advancement of hi
personel interests which, the tria
board pointed out, was completely
at variance with the tenor an
spirit of the Civil Service Code.
Perhaps, seine day, we shall sue
coed in America in establishing a.
equally high standard of honor an
devotion to the public interest. TIL
present Civil Service system in Eng
land was established about 10
years ago. Previous to that, graf
inefficiency and partanship wei
even more prevalent than the
have ever been in America. II
British Service had an uphill figf
for many years.

CONSUMER C~OOPERATIVES
We have been hearing a lot lately
about Consumer Cooperation, and

and Scandinavia, wonder why
they have not BEEN equally success
sful in America. Part of the ans
wer seems to be that, up to now
our people have not been bound by
circumstances or environment to a
fixed station in life or a perman-
ent place of residence. Another is
the American tradition of indivi-
dualism, of every man for himself,
which negatives most cooperative
efforts. Perhaps the most import
ant reason is that the American
system of distribution and mer-
chandising is SO much more eff
Gent than exists anywhere else,
with prices of commodities subject
to intense competition, that there
is less incentive to economic by
cooperative buying.
Nevertheless, many recent dcve-
lopments indicate that consumer
cooperation in America seems to
be working out well. This is par
ticularly true in numerous cases
where consumer groups have united
to buy their gasoline comparatively.
Many cooperative retail stores in
several different parts of the coun-
try are also thriving.
1t does not seem likely, however,
that the cooperative movement will
ever gain the foothold here that it
has abroad. Fifteen percent of all
the retail trade of England was
done by cooperatives last year; less
than one-tenth of one percent in
America.

SERMONS

The Rev. Frederick S. Fleming,
Rector of Trinity Church, New
York, Americas wealthiest parish,
proposed the other day that the
churches should declare a morato-
rum On preaching. "There are toe
many sermons" he said, land they
are usually the least important and
interesting part of the church SER
vice" -srsss~'z~asx' 81
| am inclined to think that DR..
Flemings is right. l have been list
ening to sermons all my life and
the really interesting and vital ones
that / have heard I could count
ON my fingers and toes. DR.. Flem-
ing thinks that the sermon is a sur
vival from the old days when few
people could read and that it has nc
place in modern religious observa-
tons.
l believe a sermonless church
service could draw much larger
congregations and be more inspir-
ing than most of the present day
services are. Preacher, like every
body else, should talk only wher
they have something of conse.
quence to say.
YOUTH -. don't lecture
Another point which DR.. Elem
ing made in his annual report i
that churches generally are no
handling the problem of youth in:
diligently or effectively. eth

a youth movement"
youth is not afraid of religion

that DR.. Fleming is right in this

 An exceedingly pretty frown ap- peared on her alabaster brow as Honey bored over the pages of Pete's play. She curled up in Q mound of pillows and assumed pose 61 as she perused page after page and Pete smoked cigaret after cig- aret, not daring to interrupt the train of thought. If there were any. There was.

 Pete didn't answer that. He still hoped.
 "It's too marvellous, but it's not for me. It's sophisticated"
 Tt is sophisticated" Pete agreed, and smiled at her. "But it's new kind of sophiStication. Julie is young and glamorous. She's deep. She is you"
 "Oh, darlingl" Honey, the deep one, rose from her pillows and touched him lightly on the cheek. You really do know me. don't you?"
 She ran her hand through her curls, placed Q cigaret in af ivory holder and glided across the room. She looked like Q woman who is deeply troubled and must disclose something that can be disclosed only to Q trusted friend.
 "You see I can't be what I really am. My public wants me to be something entirely differ ent." Her eyes pleaded with Pete to understand.
 He didn't. He knew f1oneys pie lures and managed to point this out gently.
 "No you don't understand. I'm just Q little pawn to my producers. You never can tell what they are going to do, but before I left Holly wood, we had conferences-oh, 50 many of them-and you know big bugaboo Box Ofiice directs us all.

 T think it's grand, Petie, and I'm sure you'll sell 1t. You ought to be in Hollywood"
 Pete didn't tell her what he thought of Hollywood. He said nothing, and whenever Pete said nothing Honey always found some- thing to say, particularly if the sub- feet had been herself.
 "The real reason I'm on my way east is to find Q play. I do wish you had another. What my producers want is to cast me in something about Q little working girl" She sighed. Tt seemed that the public Is more interested in working girls than glamorous ladies these days. of all things, they want me to find play about a stenographer.

 Honey had more than that to say, but when she arrived at the boss part, Pete was on his feet, Q new light in his eye and his hat in his hand.
