In a recent interview Ben c.
Duffy. vice president in charge OF
marketing and plans for Batten,
Barton, Durstine & Osborn, Inc.
large national advertising agency,
with headquarters in New York,
stated that newspapers are and
should be the basic medium for

Referring to 1889 Duffy said
that about 70 per cent of the BID.

expenditures and newspapers are
TO get a good percentage of it.

stated.

as a matter OF fact it takes con-
sistent. hard hitting campaign TO

He declared that publishers have
been at fault to some extent in not
doing more research into their own
products in order TO see what
the newspaper reading public &C
tually wants in the way Of make
up, features, etc.
Duffy also expressed the unique
view that too much emphasis has
been placed on circulation figures
in the selling newspapers TO ad-
vertisers as media i believe more
stress should be given to selling
editorial technique TO advertisers, "
he said adding it is sound selling.

When u. s. BottIeships Cost Mere Thousands

When U. 5. Bottleships Cost Mere Thousands
 THE United States navy has A come a long way since the days when Oliver Hazard Perry felled trees, shaped them and built his own battleships on the shores of Lake Erie in 1913. The newest U. S. battleships cost up. wards of $75,000,0 ,0oo each. Perry built his staunch vessels for about $10,000 apiece.
 Perry was given command of a fleet in 1913 with orders to break the British hold on the fresh wa ter and thus pave the way for re- covery of the northwest. Accord ingly, he set about building his ships at Presque Isle (now Erie, Pal, on Lake Erie. In a few months he had completed six war; ships, to which three other vessels were added to comprise his en- tire battle squadron.
 Those ships brought Perry vic- tory in one of the most heroic naval battles in history, the battle of Lake Erie, in which Perry turned disaster into a complete rout for the British. The Law renee and the Niagara were the two outstanding ships in that bat tie. When the Lawrence was wrecked, Perry changed quickly to the Niagara and turned the tide. of battle.
 The Lawrence and the Niagara together cost about $19,500. They were 490 tons each. The Niagara was raised, rebuilt in 1913. But today she lays a warped wreck, trussed up on the shore of the peninsula at Erie. Pa. Her com mander, Perry, is shown above on a U. S. stamp of the series of 1894, $1 black, enlarged.

CHAPTER xxx

That night Clem Shirley was standing at the bar of the Dove with Jack Burden when Duke Mar tin walked in. He saw that Jack, half-drunk, was arguing with Clem.
 Instead of speaking to them, the Duke silently pulled out a chair at a table in a far corner, quietly told waiter to bring him a drink, then settled down to watch the pair at the bar, dark look on his saturnine face.
 Clem was drinking a highbau. Her black hair was tumbling in careless curlS about a defiant face and the strap of a scarlet evening gown had already slipped of one shoulder.
 Her voice was high-pitched and reckless as she replied to Jacks pleading tones.
 His face was flushed, his hair rumpled and his dinner coat wrinkled. Half-drunk, he was making desperate effort to hold her attention. Occasionally curi- ous eyes strayed in their direction, but the crowd which frequented the tap room of the Dove was accustomed to scenes of this sort. As 8 rule it tolerated them with bored indifference and objected only when the principals grew noisy.
 You don't care a damn" Jacks words, tense and deep, suddenly penetrated the haze of barroom chatter.
 A woman laughed shrilly. Hes off again. Why doesn't he come over here? She isn't the only girl in the world"

 The first woman sniffe6. She's more scatterbrained than I thought Look where Janice French landed"
