good postwar relationship between
manufacturer and consumer, Glenn
Gundell, advertising and promotion
manager of the Saturday Evening
Post, advised luncheon meeting of
the Women's Advertising Club of
Washington yesterday. The meeting
was held at the Hotel Sheraton.
"A can of soup does not have ro-
nance, but a bowl of it in full color
does" he said in illustrating the
effectiveness of proper advertising.
Introduced by Mrs. Jessie Pulci-
pher of 1914 Massachusetts, avenue
NV, program chairman, Mr. Gum

to discover the relationship between
the wholesaler and the retailer and
the retailer and the people buying
the product IN order successfully to
conduct an advertising campaign.
"A retailer can destroy your cam
paign by passive, if not active, re-
sistance," he said. Furthermore
our relationship with the ultimate
purchasers cannot permit us to lose
track Of them now"

By Mid-City Citizens

Proposed construction of a net
work of IA dams along the Potomac
River and its tributaries, as recon-
mended by War Department engi-
neers, was opposed last night by the

provided under the plan would be of
questionable benefit to the COM

Nationwide Program
For Stores Part in
Bond Drive Mapped

A Nation wide program for par
ticipation of retail merchants in the
forthcoming Seventh War Loan
drive, May IA to June 80, was being
planned today at a conference of
Treasury officials with prominent
local and national businessmen.
Meeting at the Treasury Depart
ment, the group heard Ralph L.
Yonker, chairman of the Retail
Advertising War Activities Commit
tee of Detroit, predict that retail
merchants newspaper advertising
for sale of War Bonds would far
exceed anything in the past.
Retailers and newspapers will be
proud Of the splendid job retail
advertising in newspapers has done
in the selling of War Bonds, he told
the morning session of the confer
ence. Retail advertising is designed
to consummate sales and that's ex-
actly what it has done in War Bond
drives. Millions of dollars worth
of newspaper advertising has been
put into War Bond drives, and it is
estimated that IS per cent of it
has been sponsored and paid for by
retail merchants.
"The merchants in many cases
have used the fine advertisements
prepared by the War Advertising
Council. In other cases they have
prepared their own advertisements
to fit special local conditions. Some
cities have run large advertisements
over the signatures of 20 to 30 ad-
vertisers. In other cities individual
merchants have devoted their con-
tract space.
That all this has been done in
face of newsprint shortage and
strict rationing of space is some
thing to be proud Of But good as
the job has been in the past, you
store and association representa-
tives here today make me feel con-
fident that it will be far surpassed
in the Mighty Seventh"
Delos Walker of R. H. Macy 6s
Co., New York City. who is chair
man of the Retailers War Cam
paign Committee, and Samuel j.
Cohen, of the War Finance Division
of the Treasury. planned to present
the outline of proposed program
for the forthcoming drive. This
followed conferences yesterday with
the representatives of many ma
tional retail trade associations anG
field men from the War Finance
Division of the Treasury Depart
ment.

sally praised by all hands. Capt.
Thurber observed that it was a
matter of every one doing the right
thing at the right time in that first
half hour"
A few minutes after the torpedo
ing, the ship was listing heavily to
port. All hands topside turned to,
throwing overheard everything loose
on the port side. The danger of
capsizing seemed great.
At the stern, men stood ready to
cut loose the port plane catapult.
But damage control men stopped
the list by pumping and counter
flooding. These men worked in
fume and vapor filled spaces wearing
oxygen masks.
After two hours work, the ship
was leveled but had settled 4 feet
at the bow.
Two salvage tugs had pulled
alongside quickly taking the ship in
tow and helping out with the
pumping.
With the tugs, Capt. Thurber ma
neuvered into shallow water where
the main deck would remain above
water if the ship settled.
Second Misfortune Occurs.
A grievous, new hurt on Blue
Gooses day of misfortune came
during japanese air attack at dusk
as Capt. Thurber maneuvered to-
ward shallow water.
An antiaircraft fragment from a
nearby ship hit the Honolulus high
rigging, bringing it crashing down
on 40-m. m. ammunition clips behind
an AA gunmount Three or four
rounds of ammunition exploded
killing two men and wounding six.
This happened three of four hours
after the torpedoing.
Down in his radio compartment
trap, Garsian told phone watcher
buddy, Radioman Third Class
William Galleher, Brooklyn, N. Y,
he was going to, sleep. A night
long watch was kept on Garsian S
phone line.
BY morning. the flood in a COM
partment next to Garsian's had been
pumped out so that an acetylene
crew from the tugs could reach it
The acetylene flame started cutting
through the bulkhead, but the heat
sarted a fire in Garsians compart-
ment. He phoned to the crew to
stop until he got the fire out. This
wasn't difficult because the water
in the radio compartment then was
feet deep.
BY this time the ship had been
fixed enough to permit getting under
way for a repair boat I had to leave
before Garsian had been brought
out, but by the time I reached the
feet flagship I'd received word that
Garsian had been rescued in good
shape.
Capt. Thurber's permanent home
is at Hoquiam, Wash, but he is
widely known in Washington for he
has done several tours of duty here
and his wife now lives at 600 Twen-
tieth street NV. He served in the
Navy's department of information
from 1924 to 1927, and returned in
1880 for another two years of duty
In 1910 he was made officer in
charge of the Navy's public rela-
tions, position he filled until De-
cember, 1912, when he was trans
ferred to the staff of Admiral Viii.

Teacher Pay Boost
Backed by Natives

Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education,
last night spoke to members of the
Society of Natives about the pro-
posed increase in pay for District
teachers.
Pointing out that present salaries
do not attract teachers to District
schools, nor hold teachers already
employed here, Mrs. Doyle outlined
efforts of the Board of Education,
in cooperation with the Commits

draw up bill for presentation to
Congress. She also compared
salaries paid teachers, who must
possess an A. B. degree and in some
cases an A. M. degree, with that
paid Government clerks and
stenographers, showing where the
teachers pay at present is not
enough to maintain a proper stand

Leon Garsian, radioman, third

alone for 16 hours in radio COM
partment below decks before a re-

cue him.
Garsian's experience was the most
spectacular of many gallant per-

when surprise, single plane attack
hit and hurt the ship affectionately
called Blue Goose by her crew.
A phone connection was estab-

torpedo ripped into the ship. He
was sealed in small compartment
with water tight doors holding off a
flood of water and Oil in all COM

From the flag bridge, I talked with
him over the phone. Garsian told
me he could feel the water leak in

had blown out the lights and he
was in darkness.

Valley Rock

A new industry has been devel-
oped in Imperial Valley that this
week marked the passing from
small undertaking to one of larger
and wider recognition, the fertilizer
mill operated by the Vesubio Min
ing company in western Calexico.
The mill, using sulphurous vol
canic rock frcm Black Butte in
Baja California, process and
mikes the rock, ending with fin
ished product of sulphur fertilizer.
Pure sulphur is mixed with the re-
fined sulphur in accordance with
the percentage of purity desired for
soil-building purposes.
Louis Vremsak, manager, said the
product is being shipped to II west
ern states and is produced under
state supervision. The mill will re-
fine six tons an hour or 30 tons a
day. The giant mixer, which stands
64 feet high, will produce five tons
an hour or 100 tons per day at
capacity.
Elaborate precautions against fire
and explosions have been taken and
are necessary due to the high in
flammability of the sulphur refining
process.
