A Riotous Day
At D. c. Polls
BY JACK JONAS

It's difficult to realize, in
these placid times Of mod
crate" campaigning, that less
than 100 years ago, elections
were sometimes violent affairs,
even in Washington.
One of the bloodiest for the
District came when the city
went to the polls on June /,
1887, to elect minor officials,
principally aldermen.
Before the riotous day was
over, six persons we're dead
and 81 wounded as a result
Of the election clashes.
The trouble was stirred up
from the outside. The year
before, DR.. william B. Mag
ruder had been elected mayor
as a combination candidate
of the Democrats. Republicans
and Free Sellers, against
the Know Nothing candidate,
Silas B Hill.
The Know Nothings still
were active, however, in the
1857 election, and a group of
40 or so came by train from
Baltimore in an effort to
prevent naturalized citizens
from voting.
They were the plug Uglies,"
here to join their Washington
brethren, the "ChunkerS" and
RIP Raps."

the President called out the
Marines. A band of Ito Ma
rines, accompanied by Mayor
Magruder, marched on Mt.
Vernon Square, where the
mayor appealed to the rioters
to go back where they came
from.
When they refused, the Ma
rineS marched on them and
took away their cannon. The
mob began throwing stones
and firing pistols at the Ma
rines. One of the Marines was
wounded, and the fire was
returned.

The Baltimore rioters fled

with weapons. They pushed
their way past the ticket TAX
ers and leaped on a train Just

Others who missed the train
continued their fight afoot.
to Bladensburg.
The last burst of violence
came that night, when a
band of 80 soldiers, called in
from nearby military installa-
tions, was fired on as it
m arched up Pennsylvania
avenue. There were no cas-
ualties in that incident.

BABSON DISCUSSES ADVERTISING

Babson Park, Mass, May 81,
1856. / am not saying that adver-
tising is the most important factor
in business. The location and atti-
tude of every local merchant and
each of his clerks are also great
factors. This is due to the fact that
consumer buying really determines
the future of business and employ
ment.
Our Present Prosperity
If economic history had run true
to form, we would have had busi-
ness depression and unemployment
after World War III. But the ad-
venture in radio advertising saved
the day. 1t provided the greatly
needed 'shot-in-arm' to the gen.
eral welfare.
In the last part of the Truman
Administration. color advertising
was then greatly needed. Again.
after Mr.. Eisenhower became
President, we were threatened with
declining retail sales. This caused
manufacturers to lay off employees.
Increased unemployment follows
declining sales as night follows
day. This time it was television
advertising which corrected the
situation and kept a million read
ers of this column on their jobs.
What About COl0red Sausages?
Unless the national advertisers
have something new to offer, we
are again likely to see declining
sales, whoever may be elected
President on November of this
year. Clouds are already in the

Local Newspaper Advertising

the eye.
Local Newspaper Advertising
l fear that most newspapers are
not helping their local merchants
in the preparation of their ad-
vertisements. While the national
advertisers are employing the best
psychologists and artists to pro-
vide the copy for their advertising
in local newspapers, the local mer-
chant is content to use the canned
advertising sent to him, without
adding a personal or local touch.
This is due partly to laZiness on
the part of the merchant and part
ly to the fact that it costs the local
newspaper to make a change in
the advertising copy.
Yet statistics will show that the
local newspapers-especially those
of smaller cities-are the real de-
termining factors as to future bust
ness. My advice to national adver-
tisers is to spend more money. OF
course, it is much less work for the
national advertiser to get his in
come from expensive copy in a few
magazines of big circulation than
to bother with lot of little daily
or weekly newspapers. Let me say,
however, that this is dangerous
policy for advertising agencies and
also for the national advertisers
whom they represent. Remember
that the weekly newspaper not c1ly
is published once a week but also
is being read by some one every
day.

sky. Every merchant should be on
his toes and tend to business. What
ever ticket he votes, every manu-
facturer, merchant, or wageworker
wants good business. Certainly, it
will not come by voting any ticket
antagonistic to business. The first
principle of holding your job and
being promoted Is to stick by and
uphold foundations already built.
| hope the advertising agencies
can pull some new rabbit out Of
their hats to make good times con-
tinue considerably longer. Con-
sumers, however, become immune
to the same old advertisements pre-
sented in the same old way. If |
were forced to guess as to the
next incentive to business, would
pick new style or packaging. This
is best illustrated in the super
markets and in the ''hve-and-ten"
variety stores now being put on
a self-service basis. | forecast that
the cheapest form, and one of the
most effective forms, of advertis-
ing during the next few years
will be the attractiveness of the
package. The Massachusetts Legis-
lature is already being asked to
permit the sale of colored sausages.
Here is a great opportunity for
young people with both imagina-
tion and artistic sense. For
modern pulling package there must
be a combination of the old trade
mark, upon which millions of dol
lars have already been spent, and
a new feature which will catch

"WOn't You Come Into My ParIor :"
All indications point to a rous-
ing celebration OF Aviation Day"
in Moscow on June 24th-with our
Pentagon brass, including the full
roster of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and retinues, as guests of honor.
On the record at this writing is
the announcement by the Soviet
Embassy that General Nathan F.
Twining, Air Force Chief of Staff
and ranking air officers have been
invited to the Red whingding. The
White House has saio that an in
vitation tO the Joint Chiefs might Nigh
be accepted if one were forthcom-
ing. The Pentagon says such an
invitation would have serious con-
sideration." The Washington scut-
tlebutt is that the White House,
needed by Secretary of Peace"
Stassen, and over the objections of
Secretary of State Dulles, has
angled for and received the Krepl-
Inns bid to the whole military
waxworks.
Speculation on the outcome of
such an invitation seethes. To re-
ject it. some say, would make our
pious prayers for world peace ap-
pear insincere. To accept, say
others, would confirm the wishful
thinking of our allies that Russia
intends to play nice (for the nonce,
at least) and they can forget about
supplying troops to NATO. Fur
ther, the eagerness of the White
House and the Pentagon, the cold
ness of the State Department, and
the apparent ascendency of MI.
Stassen over Secretary Dulles
could well cause a serious split
in the Administration
Acceptance of this Kremlin hos
pitality would obviously assure a

ters, Bulganir and Krushchev-

quent pen-pal, Marshal Zhukov.

sia's own terms after the Reds re-
peated rejection of our own "open
skies" proposal reminds us of the
spiders invitation to the fly. But,
after the recent Pentagon feud-
which brought a Presidential press
conference blast on discipline and

Here To-day Ready For Tomorrow

Here To-day Ready For Tomorrow
Putting up new school these
days is something like buying an
automobile-th styles apt to
change. before the paints dry.
Trying to build schools that can
keep up with today's quick changes
in educational thinking and plan
ming is a real problem for school
boards perhaps even ours.
The challenge is serious enough
that when Representative ]. Ar
thur Younger heard about a new
high school in San Mateo, Calf,
which seems to solve the problem,
he rushed back to Washington to
tell Congress about it.
This new Hillsdale High School,
he reported, seems not only ideal
for today's needs but flexible
enough to meet any future change.
Already honored by the American
Institute of Architects and top
school authorities, it's known as the
school designed to stay young,
The schools designers, working
on the premise that walls are an
obstruction to progress in secon-
dary education, used movable in
terror walls set up flexible interior
rooms in the Hillsdale school.
The feature that makes it poss-
ible for the interior rooms to be
expanded or rearranged to meet
changing conditions is an ingenious
overhead toplighting system which
distributes glare-free daylight over
the entire interior of the school.
School officials say that the pris-
matte toplighting system also will
save $1,000 a year in artificial
lighting costs.
In addition to classroom accom-
mediation for 1,750 students, the

present fuels millions of years
ago and has fed the world ever
since there was an organism re-
quiring nourishment We've heard
about sunpower schemes ever since
we can remember-but at last there
really is a solar energy converter
that really works!
Demonstration of the worlds
first sunpower device for the aver
age consumer was made recently
before the Advertising Club of
Washington by Ross d. Siragusa,
president of Admiral Corporation.
The admen listened to a new tube
less radio operated with Sun Power
PAX that was converting the suns
rays instantaneously into electrical
energy-right before their eyes.
Most of them had their mouths
open.
This startling product of IS
months research measures only
four by six inches and plugs into

ing parts, no chemical action, moth
justments and, along with the tran
sistor set, should last a lifetime.
What this new solar battery does
have is pure silicon. And while sill
con, being a component of sand, is
one of the most plentiful of all
elements, pure silicon presently
costs more than $500 a pound due
to the complex refining procedure.
Somebody asked Mr.. Siragusa
what do you do on a rainy day. Sim
pie, he said. You can operate the
sanpowered radio with a $50 watt
bulb! He thought sunny smile
would help too.
Actually, there are experimental
sunpower developments operating
successfully in many parts of the
world, and solar energy is receiv-
ing serious study at a number of
educational institutions But the
u. S. Government has spent only
few thousands in this direction
while pouring billions into atomic

find than fashionable materials, and
doesn't cost cent. There's no need

DISAPPEARING CURIOS

The old-time cracker barrel in the gro
cery, on which the villager might sit to gos-
sip and discuss the state of the nation, is
known to everyone by name Try to find
one, however. The New York Historical So
ciety, which does not have one, wants one
for staff play and has hunted high and low,
but to no avail.
Another once familiar phenomenon, seen
on many city sidewalks, is the wooden In
dian whose presence proclaimed that cigar
store stood behind, just as a striped pole
denotes the presence of barber shop. Cigar
store Indians are now among the rarest of
antiques.
Then there is that less exotic but emf
nently practical object, the orange crate. 1t,
too, is going the way of the dodo and the an
timacassar. Maybe museums ought to col
lect such items before they become rare.
The trick would be to know what objects are
going to be still in use century hence, and
what objects will be rare enough to have
editorials written about them.
