It Pays To Ad- yertise-Witness
 Canned Salmon

Cooperation of other advertis- CTS has stepped up effectiveness of canned salmon advertising during the last year and half, A. w. Wittig, of International Packing Company, and member of the industry advertising com mittee, declared recently in dis cussing activities of the industry advertising committee in promot- ing use of Alaska's canned sal mon by U. S. housewives.
 We have reached thousands more housewives with canned salmon advertising by arranging with producers of other food it. ems to include their products in our salmon recipes or in our balanced meal menus which we feature in our advertising, in re- turn for which they give prom thence to canned salmon in their advertising and selling, Wittig said.
 Americas leading cheese man ufacturer has featured canned sal mon dishes with cheese sauces several times. In return for this Canned Salmon Industry adver- tisements have mentioned cheese an ingredient for delicious sal mon dishes. By this simple coop eration, recipes and magazine il- lustrations showing the use of canned salmon in attractive meals have been placed before several hundred thousand more house. wives than those reached by our own advertising.
 "The California lemon grow CTS, the lettuce growers of Ariz-
 
 evaporated milk producers, lar ge baking powder concern, the country's largest distributor of mayonnaise, and many other man ufacturers have pushed canned salmon sales through their nation al advertising and through field
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-09-21

work by their selling organiza- tions. We have in return given
 them recipe publicity in Can ned Salmon Industry advertise ments. This cooperation has cost the salmon packers nothing and has added a great deal to the ef- fectiveness of our efforts to in crease the use of canned salmon" !"
 Another phase of the coopera- ton which the industry is carry
 ing on with other advertisers, according to Wittig, relates to the exchange of marketing in- formation and experience with other national advertisers who are also carrying on commodity campaigns as distinguished from advertising of brands.
 By discussing such problems as the placing of store display material and the distribution of recipes to housewives with other groups which have similar pro- blems, we have been able to inn prove our efficiency along these lines, and create a more friendly feeling toward canned salmon among other groups. A recent letter from the advertising dir ectors of Norwegian sardines com mended the salmon industry for it's campaign, and said that the sardine people felt it was also helping them because while our advertising is primarily influenc- ing housewives to serve canned salmon more frequently, it is al- so greatly stimulating public in- terest in sea foods generally.
 We feel that by our coopera- tive attitude in our national ad- vertising of canned salmon we have not only been helping oth- CTS; We have also been receiving a great deal of help in return. In many cases this help has been of a sort which we could not buy, but which has been freely given us because we have play ed balp with the other fellow, Wittig concluded. ~f

ON MANNERS
BY HELEN ESSARY

In Washington, if you're in Off
eial Life, or want to SEEM to be
there-mind your Manners.
Perhaps you are a little vague
about how to be a Madame Ches-
terfield. Perhaps you're just sort
Of sociable and think it would be
nice to drop in on some Of the
people you'd enjoy knowing. And
get better acquainted like you used
to do in Greenville. Perhaps
Stop right there. With such
ideas you'll never do-in Washing
ton. You'll never get on (what'
ever that isl. You'll be drag on
your husband. He'll never be re-
elected. And every year is cam
paign year!
So go at once before the chance
Of Sam-being President grows
less-and find yourself copy OF
that estimable booklet on Social
Rules and General Procedure"
It's issued by the Ladies of the
Senate" for the guidance of eager
newcomers and careless old timers.
Read the eight pages as you do
the gossip columns. The type is
good and clear-you won't need
your glasses.
And once you've read-obey!
OF course, therell be no time
left in your life for going to
market or putting your back hair
In curriers', or making your sick
aunt a cuStard, or dosing your
husband with food and flattery,
or reading a book, or spanking the
children.
But no matter, nothing Is truly
important in Washington but 60
ing to parties, the right parties,
and behaving with manners and
politeneSs after you get there.
The Capital Greed is-be like
other people. Do what They do.
Cut your personality to a pattern.
But before you start on this cater
pillar path, learn these:

CAPITOL FRONT
REM0DEL|NG
ISARGUED
Senate Group Hears
$4,000, 900 Project
Raped, Defended

The question of whether the
proposed extension of the east
front of the Capitol would de-
stroy the historical significance
of the building was argued back
and forth today at a hearing be-
fore the Senate Public Buildings
and Grounds Committee.
The committee is considering a
bill introduced by Senator Tom
Connally CD, of Texas, its
chairman. to spend four million
dollars in advancing the facade
of 'the central portion and cover
ing it with marble. A similar
bill passed the Senate at the last
session but was held up in the
House.
DR.. Leicester B. Holland, chair
man of the Committee for Pre-
servation of Historical Buildings,
launched a vigorous attack on the
proposal. His testimony included
a detailed history of the changes
in the building since it was first
built. He showed the committee
a number of sketches drawn by
Thomas U. Walter. architect Of
the Capitol who designed the
wings and present dome.
Historical Reason
DR.. Holland. at the request of
Senator Connaliy, boiled down his
objections to the plan as being:
First-Opposed because he
felt the project would destroy
the historical record of the orig
inal building.
Second-Because it would be
an aesthetic mistake to make
the entire building conform to
the design of the wings.
DR. Holland was preceded on
the witness stand by Edgerton
Swartout, New York architect,
who said the work should be done
to give the central portion the
proper balance for the dome.
Nathan Wyethe. municipal archi-
tect for the District, testified that
he favorS the extension and con-
sidered it would improve the
whole building.
Taxpayer Opposed
Harry Francis Cunningham, an
architect who has lived in this
city all his life, strongly favored
the proposal on the ground that
it would not destroy but would pre-
serve the old historical part by re-
producing it in a better material.
T. S. Palmer, a taxpayer, asked
the committee not to take any
steps in this matter until the pub
lie was given a specific plan on
which to express an opinion as
to whether it wanted its Capitol
changed.
The hearing was closed after the
testimony of H. P. Caemmerer, sec
retary of the Fine Arts Commits
sion. who testified the original
sandstone is fast deteriorating and
will have to be replaced soon. The
next hearing will be held at 1890
a. m. Thursday.
