City Streets" with little Edith Fellows and Leo Carrillo, which team made such hit in the recent picture Little Miss Roughneck, as the stars.
 The story concerns an Italian street man Cleo Carrillo), who has his business in a poor part of the city. and of the children in that section. whom he scolds severely for their pranks, but whom he loves sincerely. A little crippled girl (Edith Fellows), however, takes his fancy, and the kind hearted Carrillo sells his business to enable this pitiful little child to walk and run again like the other children, as the re- suit of an operation which proves successful.
 However, just when things are looking bright rich couple makes their. appearance and insist upon taking Edith with them. At first Carrillo rebels against the idea, but after realizing that they can give her so much more than he is able to, Edith is sent with the couple. Much unhappiness follows, but the realization of their hopes and dreams finally brings the picture to happy ending.

Are you willing to spend 45 cents to save S15? Of course you are-if you know the facts. Sometimes advertising performs miracle like that.
 Ten years ago, a certain camera sold Tor S3O It was advertised extensively, sales ln- creased, and overhead costs were reduced. Now, with larger production, the manufac- turer is able to operate more economically and to sell better camera for $15. The ads vertising cost amounts to 45 cents for each camera The saving to the customer IS Sl5.
 In similar way advertising has helped to lower prices in many other specific cases Yet there seems to be common impression that advertising represents an extra cost, something that must be added to the price of what you buy.
 Everybody knows that advertising costs money and that it is used to help sell goods Less known is the fact that good advertising sells goods so well that it is the cheapest way of selling them This is one of the reasons why it is possible to sell well-advertised goods at lower price than if they were not ad- vertised.
 Then there is the other important req son. As advertising builds the sales volume of a company faster and greater than any other method it makes large-scale manutac- turing possible, and that reduces the cost of making each article. When there IS cOmpe- tition, which there usually is, manufacturers and dealers lower their prices as rapidly as they can. In this way, consumers get the

benefit of the savings that advertising ef- fleets in the costs of selling and manufactur- ing.
 When you see thousands of dollars spent for a single advertisement or a single radio broadcast, it is only natural to assume that you have to pay for it when you buy the advertised article But few people realize how little this cost really is when spread over the large number of units sold through the advertisement and how large a saving thls makes in the total cost. On canned food, the average cost of advertising is less than one half cent per can. On one of the most widely advertised soft drinks the advertising cost is less than one-fiftieth of a cent per glass
 Jumping together all the advertising Tn the country, the total expenditures amount to less than per cent of the value ot all goods sold. This is very small in comparison with other selling and distributing costs. The Department of Commerce estimates that in 1885 the total cost of distribution was 2o per cent So it appears that the total amount spent for advertising is only one-fourteentn of the whole cost of distribution. .a aa
 If no money were spent for advertising, the cost of selling and distributing would be far higher than it is now, and prices would have to be higher More important still, smaller volume of goods would be sold and produced and there would be less employ ment. and smaller share of the worlds goods for each of us. Advertising puts money in your pocket.

A year later business conditions had
not improved. And for Karl the fu-
ture seemed even more black. He
wanted Penelope more than ever, and
the fact that he still was reluctant to
speak his heart made him miserable.
These were the circumstances when
one evening Karl swung in at the
Wareham gate and started the winding
walk to the front door. Half way to
the screened-in veranda he heard
voices, and because his own name was
mentioned, he paused.

attended the same country school;
~were, in fact, members of the same
class. Time and again Karl had car
ried home her books. In those days
he was more confident. He found it
easy to look gravely into her wide
brown eyes and boast of what he was
going to do in the future, of how he
was going to make lot of money and
one day return to Hillside and-but
that was as far as he ever got. 1t
hadn't seemed right, under the circum-
stances, to tell Penelope that he was
coming back to Hillside to claim her
for his bride. She probably would
have laughed at him.
Later on, when they were gradu-
ated, Penelope left for Europe to study
ahd Karl saw her only occasionally.
Once he attended party at the Ware
ham home, and managed, after a
dance, to persuade Penelope to walk
with him in the moonlight on the
green front lawn. For Karl it had
been romantic moment, with the
music drifting softly down from the
house and the moonbeamS on the great
elm tree by the front gate. He almost
told her then, but somehow he didn't
dare. Somehow he didn't feel as If
he had the right. For there was still
difference between them-a gap.
The years had been kind to Pene-
lope. Young womanhood had made
her even more beautiful, more desir-
able; travel and contact with the
world had endowed her with poise
and graciousness that a lifetime of
Hillside and Hillside people could
never have given.
Karl. too, had grown and developed.
Prosperity, in small way, had come
to him as the result of untiring work
and ceaseless plodding. He had gone
into business for himself, and was
rapidly reaching the point when at
last he felt. If ever, Penelope would
regard his proposal seriously.
THEN came the crash, the slump,
the depression. Karl's business
fell off to point where his income
was reduced to half. 1t was only by
strict economy and self-denial that he
was able to keep struggling along.
Penelope came home from Europe
to find her fathers great factories idle;
his finances in deplorable state He
had lost heavily in the market. For a

expansion Of trade in both diree-

While the two agreements are
separate instruments, they should
be considered together. Taking the
two agreements together, many I'M
portant products appear In both
import and export schedules, that
is, the schedules Of concessions
which the United States is grant,
ing and obtaining. In such cases,
the full significance of these agree
ments cannot be judged without
considering them both together, and

should have an important bearing on
the commercial policies Of many 9TH
er countries. quite apart from the
fact that, under the most-favored-
nation practice Of both the United
Kingdom and the United States,
most countries will benefit directly
from the concessions provided in 1t.
The tariff concessions provided by
these agreements will enter into
effect on January /, 1889. The
agreements will have initial terms
Of three years and may continue In
force indefinitely thereafter, subject
to termination by either government
on six months notice. Full details

Trade Agreements Summary
State Department Tells Of Scope and
Benefits in British, Comedian Pocts

Following is the text of sum-
mary issued by the State Depart
ment on the British and Canadian
trade agreements:
A trade agreement between the
United States and the United King
dom was signed today at the White
House. simultaneously with new
trade agreement between the United
States and Canada. The Secretary
of State signed both Of these agree
ments for the United States, Sir
Ronald Lindsay. the British Am
bassador. and A. E. Overton OF
the British trade delegation sign
ing for the government OF the
United Kingdom, and Prime Min
lister Mackenzie King for Canada.
These are the two most important
agreements thus far concluded un-
der the Trade Agreements Act OF
1894. The agreement with the
United Kingdom covers not only
trade with that country but also
trade with Newfoundland and q
large and important group Of Brit
ish colonies, Australia, New Zea-
land the Union of South Africa,
Ireland, India, Burma and Southern
Rhodesia are not included in the
agreement with the United King
dom. However. the trade of the
areas which are included in these
two agreements, with each other
and with the rest of the world, ac-
counts for over one-third Of the
worlds total international trade.
Moreover, the United States carries
on about one third of its own total
foreign trade with the areas covered
In these two agreements.
Top Ranking Customer.
In most years the United King
dom is the largest market for Amer
lean exports. and Canada the sec
ond, although Canada occasionally
has ranked first. Conversely, Canada
is ordinarily the largest source Of
imports into the United States. and
the United Kingdom second or third.
The United States supplies well over
half of Canada's imports and takes
about two-fifths of Canada's ex-
ports; the United States is also one
of the largest markets for exports
from the United Kingdom, and the
United Kingdom imports more
goods from the United States than
from any other country, whether
within the British Empire or not.
The trade of the United States with
several of the overseas areas OF the
British Empire included within the
agreement is very large.
20 Agreements Made.
Twenty trade agreements Gnclud-
ing the first agreement with Canada
which is replaced by the new agree
ment have now been signed under
the Trade Agreements Act, cover
Ing countries with which about
three -fifths of our foreign trade is
carried on.
American agriculture and indus
try should gain much from these
two agreements. The concessions Sc
cured for our producers in each OF
them cover a great volume of trade.
The United Kingdom agreement Is
particularly important from the
standpoint of agriculture. That coun-
try is by far the largest foreign
market for American farm porducts,
taking normally about one-third of
the total exports. Substantial con-
cessions on farm products have
been secured from the United King
dom. Agriculture will also gain from
the concessions obtained for indus
trial products in all the countries
covered by these agreements, since
expansion Of exports of factory prod
ucts adds to the buying power of
Evening star., 1938-11-18

These agreements are Of great I'M
portance not only with respect to
the trade directly benefting from
them but also from the point OF
view of the general commercial poll
cies of the countries parties to the
agreements and Of the world as q
whole. Following the previous
agreements made by the United
States under the act Of 1894, their
conclusion represents = long addi-
tional step in that liberalization OF
trade which began with the Trade
Agreements Act Of 1884.
The agreement, moreover. marks
a most important step in the devel-
opment of the commercial policy OF
the United Kingdom, although for
decades that country maintained

The two agreements are likewise
important in relation to the system
Of British imperial preferences.
which has been long In existence,
but was greatly expanded by the
Ottawa agreements of 1882 On
many commodities many Of the Brit
ish countries apply to imports from
other British countries lower i'm
port duties than on imports from
the United States or other non-
British countries; often the British
goods enter free. Various of the
concessions made by the United
Kingdom and Canada involve modi-
fications OF these preferences. In
the case of the colonies covered
by the United Kingdom agreement
the concessions pertain particularly
to the extent OF the prefereces.

substantial freedom Of trade. It's few
duties being intended either for
revenue only or to protect certain
key industries necessary for mill
tary safety, the Import Duties Act
of 1892 marked the abandonment Of
this historic policy, 50 far as coun-
tries outside the British Empire
were concerned. In some Of it,
trade agreements with other coun-
tries, the United Kingdom has mod
ified its protective and preferential
policy and this agreement with the
United States represents . further
marked modification Of that policy.
May Influence Other Trade.
Since the trade policies Of the
United States and of the countries
Of the British empire have wide in
fluence in the world. the liberal
