BUSINESS NEEDS
TOLD ADVERTISERS
Recapture of Public Conf
dence Essential, Conven-
tion Speaker Says.
BY the Associated Press.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, April 2s.-
H. A. Batten, president Of N. W. Aver
g. Son, Inc, told the Association of
National Advertisers today that the
immediate and pressing need of Amer
ican business is to get back the lost
friendship and confidence of the pub
lie through advertising.
Speaking on the subject of Public
Relations" Mr.. Batten, head of one
OF the ccuntry's largest advertising
agencies, described it as long term,
constructive thing
1T is builder, not merely a
mender," he said. And it involves
not only the public portrayal and rep
resentation of business, but the
actual molding and shaping of the
business itself.
ANY public relations worthy Of the
name must start with the business
itself. Unless the business is so Or
ganized and so administered that it
can meet at every point the test of
good citizenship and usefulness in the
community, no amount Of public re-
lations will avail"
He told the advertisers that to build
a program Of public relations that
will really amount to something" it
is essential that wages in general be
kept up, that prices in general be kept
down, that relations with employees
be conducted in spirit of trust and
friendship and that management be
able, enlightened, technically expert
and native to the business.
With such foundation, he said
business can build program of pub
lie relations which will really amount
to something by telling the story OF
the business to the public.
If l had something vitaly i'm
portant to tell the public" Batter
said, Il should not rely wholly or
editorial columns Of the newspaper,
and magazines TO tell it. I should
turn to the Advertising columns anc
there I should tell my story-when ]
wanted it, where I wanted 1t, the wa,
I wanted it, without a line of it lef,
out or q word changed"

SALARY PUBLICITY
BANPASSESH HOUSE
Senate Action Awaited on
Repeater of $4,000
Pay List.
By the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
Senate action on the proposal TO
abolish publication Of corporate sal.
aries in excess OF $4,000 was being
awaited today by proponents of the
move. The section Of the tax statutes
requiring publication of these salaries,
which originated in the Senate, was
repealed in the House yesterday by
vote OF 229 to ll2
In recent years, the list Of COR
poration salaries has been submitted
to Congress by the Treasury and
turned over TO the House WAYS and
Means Committee Members of the
committee have protested that regu-
lar committee work was interrupted
by streams Of curiosity seekers and
persons who wanted to copy the lists
and sell them.
During yesterdays debate, Con-
gressmen thumbed through the latest
volume, a volume containing approx
mately 10000 names, at a table in
the center Of the chamber.
Doughton Sees No Good.
Chairman Doughton of the Ways
and Means Committee told the House
the lists have served no good purpose.
He said they had not helped the Treas
ury obtain single additional dollar
OF revenue, and that the costs of
preparation were S5o,00O to 500 900
annually
The ranking committee Republican,
Representative Treadway Of Massa-
chusetLs, asserted that blackmailers,
thugs and thieves could buy the lists
for few dollars from some lady
downtown
The chief opposition to repeal cams
from Progressives, Farmer borites
and members Of the liberal bloc.
Representative Sauthof1, Progress
sive, of Wisconsin attempted to put
through change which he told re-
porters would have permitted agents
OF the Justice Department TO inspect
corporation salaries at any time. His
motion was shovel aside, 80 to %.
Incomes Held Public Business.
Il submit that the income of the
individual is public business" Repre-
sentative Boileau, Progressive, of Wis
consin argued. Il submit that tho
public has vital interest in knowing
how wealth is distributed"
Isn't it true interrupted Repre-.
sentative johnson, Farmer-Labor. Of
Minnesota, that the reason for this
repeal is that some of the boys are q
little bit ashamed of what they DO
take?"

Roger isn't a conquest. He means
absolutely nothing
Roger moved away from the door,
crossed the living room and went out
through a side entrance. His bitter
ness was increased. The first speaker
had been Nadine Price, who had ar
rived at the ranch yesterday to be a
guest of the WinSloW'S for a week.
Linnet had been the other speaker.
and he could still hear the amuse-
ment in her voice.
Two cowboys were sitting on the
top rail of the corral fence when
Roger got there, watching a man
astride vicious bucking bronco. The
horseman was Tracy Kenyon, one Of
the dudes attached to the WinSloW
party. In spite of his inclination to
feel resentment toward Kenyon, Roger
could find little in him to dislike.
Kenyon, though dude, was an eX-
cellent horSeman, courageous, and
never a snob. Roger suspected that
there was more than a subtle purpose
behind his interest in the WinsloWs.
Being man of means himself, Tracy
had the right to act toward Linnet
the way Roger wanted to.
THE bucking bronco suddenly ceased
its antics and Kenyon slid tri-
umphantly to the ground. The cow
boys cheered.
Hello, Oakes. Sorry I couldn't give
you thrill by letting old Skyrocket
hand me a toss"
"You did neat job Of tanning him, "
Roger said He moved away and
Kenyon fell into step beside him.
Il say, you're rather a quiet sort.
Hard to know. You're not one of
those disillusioned story-book heroes,

About you?" Her face suddenly
cleared. "Oh, you mean about you
being conquest. Darling, that's
funny. Nadine accuses me of making
a conquest Of every one l meet. It's
her way, and it's mine to contradict
her. Don't be silly"
They explored the mine, but Rogers
heart wasn't in it. His thoughts were
troubled. There were dozen things
that kept tripping over each other in
his mind.
Toward noon they entered a long
abandoned shaft. Rotten timbers still
gave slight support to the roof.
This won't do" Roger said, stop
ping. Even the slight vibrations
caused by our footsteps might cause a
cave-in."
Even as he spoke there came a low
rumbling sound. A half dozen loose
stones ratified down from overhead.
Roger uttered cry of alarm, grasped

Linnets hand and started running.
The rumbling increased. A flying
stone struck the girl on the head
She cried out, stumbled. Roger picked
her up in his arms and ran toward

OUTSIDE, away from the dense
cloud of dust that poured from
the shafts mouth, he looked down at
the girl. She had tainted and there
was blood on her cheek.
He laid her down and ran for water.
He washed her wound, grateful to dis
cover it not serious.
Looking at her he suddenly found
himself talking, as though the urge
to say what was in his mind were not
of his own doing.

Gregory Mason, noted jungle ex-
plorer, says: "Trudging through
tropical wilderness under the scorch-
ing sun, l rely on vitalizing tea to
carry me on. Tea steps up my vital
ity-always gives that lasting cool
ness in the most torrid climate"
The difference between tea and
other so-called cooling drinks is this:
Tea does more than merely quench
thirst. Tea actually LOWERS the
body temperature. Its cooling effect
is more LASTING.
