Bad News Likely
In the Pacific, the war with ia
pan is well underway News from
that part of the world has not been
good. Japan had tremendous ad-
vantage by having planned long in
advance and striking treacherously.
Having stolen the initiative, U. s..
and British forces must adjust their
activities in defense Of the Japan
ese attack. If Japan is to accom-
plish any great successes, these
must come early in the conflict The
advantage Of surprise disappears as
the struggle is prolonged. Also,
Japanese resources are greatly linn
tied. Every piece of armament,
every ship, every gallon of oil is al
most impossible to replace.
In consequence, any important
losses Of territory or forces by the
u. S. or Britain are apt to come
within the first six months. If Japan
fails to take Singapore, or import
ant islands Of the Philippine group
in that time, the Sons of Heaven
will have less than fifty-fifty
chance Of success later.

"U. s. NAVY NEEDS men FOR AVIATION

"Rebounding from the impact Of
the japanese Navy's surprise attack,
the United States Navy has proved
that it is ready" said Lieutenant
Commander Charles w. Hickernell,
former Ohio resident, "and one Of
the most important units of our Navy
is its latest large division, the avia-
ton force.
$50 recent is the new air arm Of
the Navy that the majority of its
pioneers are still in the SERVICE" he
continued. cts real start didn't
come until 1916, and the last World
War ended before this branch of our
fighting force grew beyond infancy.
To-day seven aircraft carriers ex-
tend the defensive boundaries of our
country two thousand or more miles
at sea, and construction on twelve
additional large carriers was begun
in 1910. With this increase in carriers
our Navy will have force of approx
mately 1000 Navy planes based on
ships, and current plans call for a
total of $4,000 more Navy planes to
be used for patrolling from bases, for
training and as reserves"
The Navy has already established
four separate air stations to give in

Big Business Firms and Advertising

There still exists the idea among that adver-
tising adds considerably the retail price goods
Those who have made careful, complete study of
the subject are convinced that when it been in
tell1gently used to increase the sale articles in
common use, it has not only lowered the price but
has improved quality. w. s. Parrish president of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, which spends
millions in advertising, recently gave
interesting testimony along that line before the
House Judiciary committee. He told the committee:
"Although the expended for adver-
tising by some companies large, it is
easy to eXaggerate the part of the custo-
mer's gasoline dollar which is spent for ad-
vertising. If ali the advertising expendi-
lures of the industry charged to gaso-
line alone, it is probable that they would
represent less than quarter of a cent per
:! gallon"
Please note that it states that If "a of the price
of the advertising applied to gasoline" when as
matter of fact much of the advertising money has
been charged to other products such oils greases
sprays tires, ETC.. But though it all cover
ed in the price of gasoline, it would on ten
gallons of gasoline the purchaser had contributed
IA cents for advertising, what is true concerning
the Stanberd Oil company, is likewise true of the
Ford Motor company, General Motors Corporation
and many other corporations 1t is also true of small
firms well.
While there many methods of Advertising
those who have made careful study of the subject
state that the best, most effective and cheapest is
newspaper and magazine advertising.
