President Suffers Bronchitis,
But Declares 1t Isn't Serious.

seen all the reports, I'll be able to
tell you about his physical condi-
tion," Admiral McIntire said. But
he is feeling great deal better. He
has little irritation of the bron-
chial tree, following a cold which
extended downward. Usually, you
know, the President doesn't get a
cough"
Most of the Chief Executives colds
have been in the head. 1t was to a
head cold that his absence from his
Office nearly all last week was at
tributed by White House officials.
The Chief Executive seemed to be
in buoyant spirits at his news con-
ference yesterday, and his color ap-
peared better than 1t had Friday.
Twice in recent months Mr.. Roose-
welt has been i'll with influenza. The
first attack occurred last fall. The
second and more severe came shortly
after his return from war councils
in Cairo and Teheran and lasted
through a good part Of January.

Newspapers Carried
$21,053,052 in Ads
In Three Bond Drives

American newspapers IN the last
three Treasury war loans carried a
total OF 386, 500 sponsored or donated
advertisements occupying an aggre-
gate of 138, 1872 pages, with space
value Of $21 ,053,052.
Frank Tripp, chairman Of the
Allied Newspaper Council, cited
those figures today to underScore
anew, he said. newspaper advertis-
ing's dominant role in selling $67,-
175,000, 900 worth of War Bonds and
other Government securities.
Compiled for the Treasury's war
finance division by the Advertising
Checking Bureau, Inc, the figures
Mr.. Tripp said, cover neither the
millions of dollars spent for War
Bond promotion between the drives
nor in the First War Loan in 1912
for which no similar measurements
were made. Neither, he added. dc
they include "the enormous total OF
news and editorial support which
newspapers have contributed to the
cause" estimated to be the equiva-
lent of more than 81 900 standard
size pages.
War Bond Ads Hit New High:
Despite the growing paper short
age, newspaper War Bond promo
ton hit a new high during the re-
cent Fourth War Loan with 159,87s
individual ads-89, ,048 in daily pa
pers and 70,830 in weeklies-com-
pared with 152,793 ads during the
Third Loan and 1889 in the Sec
ond.
Although lineage totals declined
somewhat between the third and
fourth loans, the drop-from l29,-
549,964 lines (53,979 pages to 120,-
1876 (50,079 pages represented
only 7.8 per cent, against 1873 pei
cent cut in the available supply OF
newsprint.
Thus, added Mr.. Tripp, "the rec
ord makes it clear that the promo
ton of War Bonds during the Pc
riod of the Fourth War Loan occu-
pied a bigger percentage of total
newspaper space than ever before
in fact, a bigger percentage than
has ever before been devoted to any
single subject in the whole history
of the press. With so dominant a
coverage, it is only natural that the
sale Of individually purchased e
bonds broke every previous record
and hit the all-time high of $3,187,-
100000 in the Fourth War Loan
drive"
News, Editorial Support Cited.
News and editorial support of the
Fourth War Loan was estimated at
$4,000 900 lines-22 ,000, 900 in dailies
and 100000 in weeklies, with the
total for. three drives placed at
