SAN. ENGINEER CHECKS LOCAL
 CONDITIONS

E. F. Clements, sanitary engineer with the Territorial department of health who arrived here Saturday on an official visit. speaking at the chamber of commerce luncheon Monday said in respect to the food handlers law, that no one had re- newed his health card this year in Wrangell
 The law requires an examination once a year by a licensed physician, of all food handlers in grocery stores restaurants. beer dispensaries, etc, as we'll as beauty shop and barber shop operators, and the inference was that cards must be renewed at once.
 The examination, MT. Clements stated, was not for the physician to tell just how healthy the person was from every standpoint, but to exclude those suffering from any dis ease that is contagious and that could be passed on through food handling or personal contact. For instance, he said, "a man suffering from heart trouble is not excluded, but if he has a communicable throat disease, any of the social diseases or is suffering from tuberculosis, he is a menace as a food handler and must be removed from serving the public"
 Throughout the territory last year ending on June 30 reports showed Mir. Clements said, that a little over 8 per cent of the food handlers in the Territory were infected with syphilis. Those with open lesions on the body were removed from public service temporarily until such time as the disease had responded to treatment and the patient had be- come non infectious. Some workers were removed permanently. His de- partment, the engineer stated, will become more strict as time goes on. The objective is to advance the pro- gram on an educational basis: how ever, those who refuse to cooperate

Wrangell Highway Construction
 Follows Interesting Routine

rain. From the data obtained by this location party, a design is made in the district headquarters. This projected road is so laid out that the excaYated material will just fill the holes and hollows. The area for the projected road is then cleared and grubbed. The centerline of the projected line is then run and cor rections are made in the balance of the quantities of cut and fill. From this information, a set of plans are drawn, showing the ex- tent of the cuts and fills and drain age structures, and an estimate of the quantities of materials neees- sary to construct the road.
 After the contract for the grad ing and surfacing has been let, the engineering crew come on the prof ect about a month in advance of beginning of operations and set the slope stakes. These slope stakes show the areas to be excayated and those to be filled. The size and To- cation of all drainage structures are also staked at this time.
 Second Grade Set
 The contractor then takes the ma terial from the cuts and places it in the fills, at the same time plac- ing the culyerts. This Is called rough grading. The engineering crew then set the so-called second grade, which means setting pegs on either side of the road Cat the shoulder) and at about fifty-foot intervals, measured along the centerline, to conform with. the grade on the plans. The construction crew then brings the road (subgrade) to this level, and the subgrade Is ready for the surfacing material.
 On a newly constructed road the surface material Is placed in two courses. base course of nine inches or more, and a top course of four inches. The material is constantly bladed and shaped during placing.

SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING

What Is Advertising?

4 LONG time ago there was no advertis-
II ing. Every man with something to
1 \ sell had to tell people about it per-
sonally and individually This was not
great handicap in those days, for no one
had very much to sell.
But as soon as large-scale manufacturing
was begun, it was necessary to find way to
tell many people about products, and to tell
them quickly and all at one time To fill
this need, advertising naturally developed as
a universal business process. Without it we
could not operate large factories making
goods for millions of consumers.
Advertising is sometimes spoken of as a
special kind of business, as a separate in
dustry supported by other lines of business
1t Is no such thing at all. Advertising is
simply part Of the process of selling the
products OF every industry. It does the i'm
portant job of telling people about mer-
chandise and where to buy it, and it stimu.
lates their desire to buy.
1t is not enough to make goods and to
transport them to places where consumers
can buy them. The public must be told
about the goods-how desirable they are. how
people can make themselves more comfort
able, more healthy or more happy through
buying them In other words, the merchan-
disc must be sold not merely placed on sale.
Advertising does large part of this selling.

its place.

sequently, each consumers share is vastly in
creased The wealth created in making the
goods is distributed to consumers through
payments for wages, materials, and divi-
dends, and thus they are able to buy the
greater volume of goods produced.
But merely being able to buy does not
make people buy Statesmen and advertising
must be kept on the job all the time, to keep
merchandise moving from factory to con-
sumer or the wheels will soon stop turning.
The work OF selling is just as important as
the work of making and the work of trans
porting And advertising is the only way by
which the large volume Of goods now being
produced can be sold.
In performing its selling work. advertising
shows us the way to better living by Great
ing desires for better things. Through con-
veniences introduced by advertising, the bur-
dens of housekeeping have been made easier
and the family diet has been improved.
Babies are healthier and homes are more
sanitary because of the educational influence
of advertising. Newspapers and magazines
are sold for few cents copy and radio
entertainment is free, because advertisers
pay most of the costs of these three great
mediums for advertising.
While doing all this useful and valuable
work. advertising costs the consumer nothing
because 1t is the most economical form OF
selling and lowers the cost of distribution.
Advertising is the voice of industry, telling
us all how to live happier lives and how to
make our money 20 farther.
