Advertising Men Gather

One Of the notable gatherings OF
the year took place at Boston a
few days ago, when the Advertis-
ing Federation of America held its
9th annual convention. The chair
man Of the board spoke of adver-
tising as kind of show window, In
which the producers of goods dis
play their products to the people.
Display is one of the chief meth
ods by which goods are sold. Stores
usually display a considerable part
OF their stocks on their counters
or in show windows. The stroller
past the window or through the
shop is more likely to be interested
in goods If they are spread out
before him on a counter than If
they are hidden away in some box
on a shelf. So advertising is kind
of universal show window.
The newspaper exhibits the
goods displayed by its advertising,
through descriptions, quotations of
prices, and often by pictures. AS
the goods on the counter sell fas-
ter than the goods stored away in
drawers and on shelves, so the
goods displayed by advertising sell
faster.
Speakers at this remarkable con-
vention dwelt upon the services
which the newspapers and adVer-
tising men will render the country
in these critical days of war and
danger. If the American people
need to be reused to support some
defense plan or policy, it will be
the business of the editors and the
men to write the copy
that will do the persuading.
The American people often fail to
act because they have not thought
enough about public problems.
The newspaper makes its appeal
to their intelligence, it rouses them
from their apathy, and leads them
to go out and work and sacrifice
for their country.
The freedom of the press was
at this convention. If
that freedom prevailed all over Eu-
rope, there would be no war today.
That freedom is Americas price,
less possession.

Just too bad"

Fcurtailing motoring for pleasure,

The petroleum interests and re-
lated industries took the blow on
the chin and pretended that it
didn't hurt. They sat back to wait
on the unpredictable Ickes.
The railroads of the United
States were first to show their
sand" In a statement they took
direct issue with the Administra-
tion statement that it would be
impossible to properly transport

roads fatty declared that they
could handle, without trouble, all
demands upon their facilities, and |

In substance the railroads have

FEDERAL TRADE

Fifty years ago the suspicion
arose that there should be laws
against trusts and monopolies and
so the Sherman Antitrust Act was
enacted. Within the past few years
Federal Trade has extended rapid
ly because the development of
transportation and easy access to
broadened territories has made it
possible for men at machines,
counters, desks, and on farms, to
do a large part of their business
across State lines. The proof of
this Is found in your local stores
where everything from every part
of the United States seems to be
Gin season." This change of con-
ditions has been met in large
measure by the Federal Trade
Commission Investigations and
prosecutions of unfair methods of
competition and deceptive acts or
practice in interstate commerce.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission started a few years
ago to supervise the registration of
securities and suppress fraudu-
lent practices in the sale of new
securities.
The Federal Power Commission,
a half dozen years ago took over

jects on navigable streams.

Education Not Stopped

Many young people who will fin
ish school and college for good in
a few days will be saying that their
education is now completed. Henry
M. Wriston, president of Brown
University. in advising his students
about military service, remarks
that education is not a short run
objective, but it is a permanent
and continuing process.
The student who walks out of a
college with a bachelor of arts de-
gree in his pocket need not think
he is educated. Few people are full
ly educated, even if they live to be
100. No one should be satisfied
until each years study in the great
College of Life has given him some
new degree. in the form of better
comprehension of life and human
nature, and added skill with his
brain and hands.

LUXURY OR NECESSITY

Automobile owners and users
everywhere are interested in the
question of whether the family
buggy is a luxury or a necessity.
OF course, it is both. Mr.. and Mrs.
John @. America appear to believe
the use of automobiles will help
National Defense.
The volume of revenue freight
transported over the highways in
May reached an all-time peak, ac-
cording to the New York Times,
which takes notice of activities by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and other Government agen-
cies. The Times comments: "The
objective of all plans should be the
avoidance of duplication of effort,
assurance of sufficient truck pro-
duction to maintain an adequate
supply of vehicles, and integrationI
of highway transport with other
means of transportation"
The Washington Post also goes
to town" on the question. "Why
Autos are Used" is leading edi-
torial in that leading Capital news
paper The Post quotes statistics
gathered from $4,000 representa-
tives car owners living in six states
and supplemented by statistics Of
20 other states. This study Of au
tomobile transportation indicates
that "over half of the automobile
mileage and three-fourths of all
trips are classified under the head
of necessity driving" and the
says the facts appear
to dispose very definitely of the
that automobiles are
luxuries that can be dispensed with
in an emergency"
1t is rather surprising that a |
luarter of all cars registered last |
year were nine years old or older,
while SO were twelve years old or |
older. The statistics that show a
high percentage of autos used for
pleasure appear to be for summer
If motorists park their cars in
garages they'll travel on the trains
won't they?
Evidently the question hasn't
,een settled by accusing the auto
Mobile riding public with doing too
much joy-riding or going on ex-
essiye pleasure sprees. 1t is per-
ectly plain, war or no war, there
re just as many persons who work
or the Government in Washington

ler, bound for the mountains or {

One More Year Of School

The education of young people is
one of the greatest industries of
our country. 1t is one of the big
gest financial burdens. The total
number enrolled in public schools
at a recent date was around &c.
100000. If the enrolment of col
leges, universities, private and vo-
cational schools is added, the num-
ber would be considerably over
30,000,000.
Most of these institutions are
about to close, or have already clos
ed one more year of schooling.
There is usually a certain propor-
ton of idlers. They often fail to
study lesson today, If they think
they can put it off until tomorrow.
When tomorrow comes, they are
often too tired.
For the most part these students
have done solid work. A large part
of this great army have spent sew
eral evenings a week digging over
their books. Though they would
like to be out twirling the base
balls, or jitterbugging on the dance
floors, education has been sold"
to them, SO they work to get it.
Many of them approach examina-
tions or tests with anxious
thoughts. If they are anxious, they
will probably pass. Those who new
er lie awake an hour because of a
coming test, are the ones who
should worry.
The community offers its hearty
thanks and appreciation to the
students and pupils of Milford for
doing real work. They have climb
ed one more step on the ladder Of
life. The one who climbs up the
steps of study faithfully has gone
quite a distance up the ladder al
ready.
Pupils and students also owe a
debt to the community. The school
house door opens not merely to
halls of study, but to success in
peoples occupations. So the clos
ing days of school are a time for
cheer and thankfulness, that the
years work has been we'll done.

A MAN-MADE MIRACLE

Not the least of the miracles
wrought by American industry in
the cause of National Defense has
been that of having men ready to
man the machines that turn out
guns and tanks and planes. And
most of us are ready to accept this
ability to have workers available
when needed as a miracle-or per-
haps as yet another rabbit pulled
out of the hat by the master magi-
clans of our industrial economy.
We forget that in this as in other
cases of apparent production wiz
ardry the trick is really no trick at
all. It is the result of careful fore
sight and long years of painstak-
ing preparation.
AS example of such foresight and
preparation is the long-range train
ing program of General Motors, un-
der way since 1919 when the Cen
eral Motors Institute at Flint, Mich
igan, was founded. How this pro-
gram stepped up to the problems of
training for defense is depicted in
an article in the current issue of
"GM Folks" employee publication
of the corporation. Details of ac-
complishment need not be men
toned here. The points to be
stressed are:
"A great corporation is now turn
ing out millions of dollars of de-
fense goods every month.
This production results from the
efforts of thousands of trained |
workers. a4
Training of these workers was
not miracle that happened over
night.
1t was dividend declared on
years of careful planning.
And it might be added that care
full planning is what most modern
boil down to when sub
ject to analysis.
