He concluded that since people bought news
papers to read the nescs, he should tell them
the ners about his merchandise and his store.
As a result, ADS advertisements were read as
eagerly as any other part of the newspaper.
Soon every one in town knew that AID had
the newest things.
AID did not make exaggerated statements IN
his advertising He just made the hmh interest,"
'"s. Repeatedly AID had to enlarge his store,
and employ more people to take care of his
increasing business. And, although his expenses
were now very much greater, he sold so much
merchandise and turned his stocks 50 rapidly
that his store was very successful and was
known far and wide for the values it gave iss
customers.

ments into newspapers read by many thou
sands of people every day. He knew that peo-
pie were eager to get their newspapers to read
the news. Therefore, his advertising was more
likely to be seen in paper people vs~Ied to
read. Also, the newspapers were delivered all
over the city as soon as they were printed.
AID found that the more he advertised, the
more people came TO his store and the so,e
goods he sold and the less it cost HIM 10 handle
each sale. So he passed on the greater part of
these savings m lower prices and better values
to al his customers.

TOBE HELD TODAY
Friends Gather at Home
in Mountain Foothills
for Funeral. :.
By the Associated Press.

SUFFERN, N. Y, June 21.-1n the
farmhouse here in the Ramapo Noun
tain foothills. where Senator Royal S.
Copeland had lived for years between
sessions of Congress, his friends met
today for his funeral.
The conservative old-school Demo-
crat died in Washington last Friday
night at the age of So, worn out from
the long struggles of Capitol Hill.
The family had asked the Rev.
Charles P. Bispham, the rector of
Christ Episcopal Church in Suffern,
to deliver the short eulogy late this
afternoon.
A Masonic burial service was ar
ranged at the grave in a private ceme-
terry at Mahwah, just across the State
line in New Jersey, on the plot where
lies the body of long-dead daughter.
The town made shift to accommo-
date hundreds of mourners-national
and New York City politicians, men,
bers of Congress and township friends
OF the Observation-Disclosures.
The congressional delegation of hon.
or to the funeral, as selected by Vice
President Garner and Speaker Bank
head, included Senator Copeland's COL
league, Senator Wagner, Democrat, Of
New York; Senators George, Demo-
crat, of Georgia, Burke, Democrat, of
Nebraska and Townsend, Republican,
of Delaware and Representatives Smell,
Republican, of New York and Sullivan,
Cullen and Boylan, New York Demo-
Gratis.
The presence of this delegation in
escapably brought recollection to poll
ticians of the extraordinary situation
created by the Senator's sudden death.
1t will mean the election of not one
but two Senators in the fall from New
York State-thus offering an unex-
pectedly broadened test of the senti-
ment of President Roosevelt's own
State upon his policies and programs.

So he decided to have a clearance SALE,
He had big signs painted for the front
Of his store. He had circulars printed and
sent boys out to put them into parked
cars and distribute them at homes. But
the people who came saw so little they
wanted that his sale was failure. At
last, he disposed of all his remaining
stock to an out-oftown bargain store at
less than half what he had paid for it.
Cd had had a very unhappy expert
ence, but because he had never adver-
tised IN the newspapers, few people in all
the city ever knew that his store had
opened or that it had closed.

Japan Avoids
British Clash

TIENTSIN, China, Jan. 10
U.N.SO.-A clash between Japa-
nese marines and British troops
here was narrowly averted today
when British authorities refused
to hand over a Chinese living in
the British concession to hippo
nese army officials.
When the British rejected the
japanese demand for custody of
the Chinese, the japanese marines
threatened to enter the conceS-
sion.
To this threat the British mill
tary commander replied:
1--WE shall be compelled to
resist"
At this the japanese modified
their attitude and abandoned their
efforts to obtain custody Of the
Chinese.

died too hard on one of their

There couldn't be any
question of the local outcome
if such an incident should
develop into a small pitched
battle. The japanese would
certainly march. They have
at least $4,000 men with
heavy and light artillery,
tanks and so on. The powers
have in the Sc t l e m e n t
around $500 soldiers. The
forces consist of $500 Amer
lean marines, $500 Britons,
1000 French, 700 members
of the Shanghai volunteer
corps, and 700 Italians. The
Italian position in event of
a conflict with the Japanese
would be questionable.
The powers have no artil-

a few armored cars. The
Americans alone have a few
antiaircraft guns. The food

rerorted seeking outside aid for
China during her stay here. She
has played a major part in aiding
her husband in directing resist
ance against Nippon's military

China desires peace" she

FATE HANGS PER1LoUsLY

One group is Japanese and
the other Chinese. Both, for
different reasons, of course,
wish to bring England and
America into their own con-
flict.
The Chinese are for us as
dangerous at this moment as
the Japanese. They are "do
or die" boys who, disguised
in plain clothes, have laid in
hiding in the international
Settlement and the French
Concession, planning assassi-
nation Of japanese officials.
ALL ARE TERRoR1sTs
They may or may not be
acting with authority Of Cen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek.
Certainly they are the type of
young men who would be
eager to assassinate Chang
Kai-shek himself should he
show signs of surrendering to
the Japanese.
In the first line they may
be simply terrorists of the
type so familiar in old Rus
sia or like Gavril Princip,
whose assassination of the
Archduke Franz Ferdinand
at Sarajevo began the last
world conflict.
But all have logical ground
for attacks upon the Japa-
nese within the international
Settlement and the French
Concession, for they know
that, given sufficient excuse,

supply, power, light and
water communications are
entirely under Japanese
control.
l asked several high mill
tary officials of various ma
tionalities: "How long could
the settlement and conces-
sion defend themselves
against japanese attack"
"Not at ALL" was the in
variable answer. Maybe "a
hours if we wanted to COM
nit suicide"
Basically the japanese in
tend to have Shanghai COM
pletely and absolutely under
their control as though it
were a japanese city. Moder-
ate elements among the jap
anese believe they should
and can take possession by
force, of course, but with
force gradually applied with
out an outbreak.
Against this application of
gradual force the powers
have given every indication
they intend to resist up to,
but probably only up to, the
point of conflict.
General Matsui has threat
ened to take the settlement.
The general, so far, has car
ried out every threat he has
made, none of which were
first believed by members Of
the foreign community Of
Shanghai and apparently not
oy their governments.
The general is presumably
too crafty to want to do it
the hard way, but what if the
generals hand were pushed
by Chinese "do or die" boys.
or forced" by his own
youngsters?
The responsibility upon the
shoulders of our dark
Drowned Brig. Gen. John G.
Beaumont, upon our courtly,
white-haired Admiral Harry
Yarnell, as we'll as debonair
but tough British Maj. Gen.
Alexander Teller Smollett
and Admiral Sir Charles
Little, is terrific. To realize
it is to feel that a response
bility is upon all of us in the
face of dangers greater than
any that have assailed US
since the last great war.
