As a general rule while he says that he at least is not influenced by advertis- fng hC has on an advertised collar and advertised shoes; he shaves with adver tised soap and an advertised razor. .He reads advertised books and goes to an advertised theatre. And if he smokes it's an advertised tobacco. ' Every time I meet him I'm genuine ly sorry for him, as I am sorry for the man who doesn't believe in telephones. (For such men still exist.) The big economic problem of the world is now, as it al ways has been ' "How can eaun ui ub get the most from his day's work?"

And so, more in proportion than last year, or last month, or, indeed than yssterday. This century has made more differ ence, in the physical things of life, than any other single century ever made.

' If it had not been for the railroads great and wide distribution could not have existed. If it were not for the advertisements that take to millions of people the news of what the great factories are produc ingthe factories could not exist. If it were not for advertising, you might be paying $2 for something that was better made a hundred miles away for $1. p And if it were not for advertising, you would be livinci to day without even know ing of the existence of most of the things that . are now necessary to your comfort. The sew ing machine costs money but cheanens shirts. The printing press costs money but cheapens books. The telephone costs millions and saves tens of millions. Advertising costs money and not only lowsrs sell ing costs, but, by increasing the field of competition, lowers prices too. And advertising does a finer thing than all of these. For it stirs in men the desire for better goods for better homes and so for finer lives. It is the one biggest, broadest, single eco nomic influence for good in the world today. So when, now and then, I meet the man "who doesn't believe in advertis ing" I am glad. For I am apt to tell him some of the reasons that I think him wrong. Which is a pretty good way to burnish up and strengthen my own faith. FLED FRANCE IN PLANE, HE SAYS American Tells a Marvelous Tale of Adventures at Front, 85- fl NECKWEAR AND VEILINGS.

Hut I soon found that 1 could 'not sco anything more than the author ities wanted mo to see. and 1 couldn't I send that out unless they were willing. So I went to Kent and enlisted as n Canadian. I was sent to Franco about the 1st of July to a station at Kern mcl, between Ypros and .Messlnes, with the Second divisional ammunition corps. 1 was made a dispatch rider, and I went all through the French and Hclglau Hues, under shell tiro most of the time.

"All tho tlmo I was trying to get something out, but I found that every thing I wroto was slushed. At last I found a man going to England on leave, and he agreed to tiilto somo of my stuff. I don't know wl'iether they trap ,ped him or whether lie turned buck on im. but I was arrested and held for 'court martial. Tho rules aro severo In such things, nnd death Is usually tho punishment. "I was put In prison at Westoutre, Uciglum, In an old lulhlng that had been hit by shell llruij II looked easy to escape, ami as 1 Saw 'nothing ahead hut the llrlug squad' I made tho at tempt. When tho sentry was lounging In a earner out of sight I slipped nway. I could only travel by night, for I was i hemmed In on all sides. At Ploeg (Street, near the Ilclglnn-French border, 1 1 got caught In tho middle of n body 'of troops accidentally, and I had to i hide In a haystack for four da.vH with- lout food or water before they moved on. I weighed 1TO pounds when I started, and I'm down to 1-0 now. 1 Tho whole trip was practically a con tlnuoiiH fast.

I bid near by, liv ing on raw turnips from tho fields and creeping In when no ono was around to gather up the leavings from the sol diers' mess. "At last ono day I heard an Ameri can talking. I was hiding behind a hedge fence, and I managed to get him alone. I told him (ho whole yarn, nnd I begged him (o get my memorandum book homo to my folks. Hut tho Amer ican I don't daro to glvo his nniuo did mure. Ho wns starting with some dispatches across tho channel, and ho put mo on his machine, goggled nnd disguised as his holpcr. Wo wero thlr-ty-llvo miles from tho ehnnuel, tho ill's tniico across was twenty miles, and ho dropped mo near Ilcudou, whero hu was going, sixty miles Inland, a ills tauco of 115 miles In all. Then he gave mo a pound note and left mo. 1 mndu for my old quarters at London and got somo clothes and enough mon ey to take me to Liverpool. "1 sneaked aboard and hid In tho sand lockers. 1 expected to bo caught oven them, for, although I hail my American passport, I wouldn't hnvo dated to show It, for It would have re vealed me as Price, a deserter. Hut I found that I could walk among the steerage passengers without anybody I suspecting that I was not ono of them. When tho ship docked I Just walked ashore as ono of tho crow, and somo liow or other I got by with it." Among neckwear It does not matter I what tho design of the collar If it hns j an open front.

As a device It may enable a community to know Itself, Its problems and something nbout their solution. A community cen ter may help n community to bo Its best self. Physically speak ing, a community center mny bo a schoolhousc, a town hnll, n church or any other building open to all tho people for tho promotion of town betterment and human well being. Abstract ly It Is tho Idea of town unity and co-operation, both within tho town nnd with tho surrounding country. The schoolhouso Is tho natural community center.

When oucu constructed tho lighting pastH generally stand for years and are almost as prominent us tho street Itsolf. There seems to hnvo been a friendly rivalry between tho cities of southern California during tho last few yearn In tho work of designing nnd construct ing posts of this character. Much thought and study have been given not only to tho design, but ulso to tho material of which the posts aro made and tho positions In which they aro placed. Tho posts erected during tho last year or so hnvo been of cement or Iron or a combination of the two, but recently thero has been u general leaning toward cement and Its ally, concrete. This has been on account of tho uaturul durability of these ma terials as well as because of their at-tructlveness.
