No matter how wide a campaign tour a presidential candi date may make, it is a physical impossibility for him to speak in person to more than a very small percentage of the elect orate. The vast majority of voters must get his speeches through the newspapers, and must appraise the value of the man and his ideas through the medium of the printed word. That is the way it has been ever since the republic was founded, though the development of telegraph lines and high speed printing processes has cut down considerably the amount of time elapsing between the making of the speech and its appearance in print. Recently, however, we have been told that the radio has changed all of this; that the electorate can sit comfortably at home and hear the actual words of the speaker just as well as if it had flocked to attend all of the campaign meet ings; that the word-of-mouth appeal henceforth will reach everyone and make the printed word unnecessary and obsolete. ' j ti.wiii Now and then this charming theory stubs its toe, how v ever. Just the other night a speech of Governor Roosevelt was being broadcast over a certain hook-up, and just as the if candidate approached the climax of his speech, the voice I coming out of the, loudspeaker faded suddenly. An announcer broko in and explained that due to commercial contracts it would be impossible to go any further with the campaign speech. A moment later the rigamarole of some advertiser was on the air, followed immediately by the noise of a jazz 'band. The handicaps under which a voter must labor if he tries to follow the campaign by radio could not be illustrated more strikingly. Suppose that you picked up your newspaper and started . to read a front-page story of deep importance and surpass- ing interest, and that just as you reached the crux of the , proposition you encountered a little blackface note saying, "We shall be able to print no more about this because we have an advertisement that has to be printed right here." Would you continue to rely on your newspaper to keep you posted on the news of the day? ; That never happens, of course. A newspaper that did things that way would not last a month. And if a newspaper printed articles in broken, blurry type (corresponding to the static disturbances and the fading of the radio) its sub scription list would soon dwindle to nothing. Follow the campaigns in your newspaper and you get a clear, concise presentation of the speeches in black-and-white, which you may read at any time that suits your convenience; and you may save them all, if you wish, in order to compare and consider the various claims and counter claims, charges and counter charges of the candidates as election day draws nearer. Hut if you depend on the radio alone, and can arrange the activities of this busy life so you can be in front of your loudspeaker at exactly the scheduled time for every speech, even then you may not get it straight. Political speakers find it almost impossible to confine themselves to just so many minutes, so their speeches are frequently interrupted by discussons of the merits of such-and-such stomach remedy or so-and-so's engine oil. The radio is a wonderful invention but it cannot replace the newspaper. INDIVIDUALITY There are two sides to every question, and the man nor in which high school girls dress is no exception to that general rule, If, as some complain, the matter of competition in dress has become so serious as to call for drastic action, Jt might be that a uniform dress regulation would provide the simplest remedy. If, on the other hand, high school girls are, as a general thing, simple, unaffected and unspoiled, as most people believe them to be, there can bo no excuse for attempting to submerge their individuality in uniformity. The jazz ago is passing.. If parents can be induced to abandon the jazz life there will be no trouble with the young. Observation shows that the era of flnpperdom that followed the war has nearly run its course and that the tendency is toward a return to decorum and sensible dress. It may be that some Iai Grande girls overdress and make unhappy those who cannot afford a large and costly ward robe. Hut inspection of a typical group reveals that the representative high school girl is sensible in her attire. And, after all, the girl with the plain dress doesn't envy the other girl's costlier garment so much as the more fortunate cir cumstances which put that garment within her reach. The argument that a few girls without material moans are made unhappy by the prettier dresses of their classmates is unconvincing. What will the uniform-dress advocates do for the girl in silks and satin who is unhappy because the poor girl has a higher scholastic standing, or is more attrac tive in her simple frock than she in her exclusive model? It would be a pity if natural individuality were to be de stroyed by deadening standardization , Buelnene elansger 7o -M.80 - So Mall - too -2.60 .(0.00 -410 -tee on application down ; neither shall thy moon shall be thine everlasting light, shall be ended.

Other Papers Say: MKX AND NKWHPAl'tiKM According to Editor & Publisher practically all literate men In tlio U. S. read tho newspapers, and not only do they read them, but they are Intensely Interested in them. A survey Just released by tho Bu reau of Advertising, American News paper association, entitled, "Men Live by Newapapors," establishes the fact that the men folks Just can't get along without them. The study com plements a recent study of women's interest in newspapers, in which it waa revealed that women alone write 40.000,000 letters a year to the news papers. The study concludes that of 37,000, 000 adult males In tho United States, 35,600.000 are Inveterate readers of tho dally news, indicating a compre hensive medium for the national ad vertiser to reach t'.ie masculine mar ket. This does not include the vast number of boya between 12 and 21, whoso interests arc often covered in tho columns of tho press. I Tho survey quotes a recent investi gation by W. 8, Gray and Rf? Munroo which, shows that of a representative group of men, 61 per cent .read' books an averago of slightly les3 than one a month, 74 per cent read magazines an averago of 25 minutes a day, and 98 per cent read newspaper an average of 45 minuted a day. This applies to rural as wol! aa metropolitan areas, the study assorts, citing an Investigation of representa tive farm homes in which "news papers were road 100 per cent." Edu cation is nlflo overstepped by this uni versal habit. Figures compiled for tho University of Chicago show that, while books and magazines vary from 100 per cent to 20 per cent In popularity, according to tho education of the roador, newspapers never fall below 00 per cent the range being from 100 per cent among thoao with grad uate degrees to 01 per cent among thost with less than eighth grade training. Matrimony Increases men's interest In newspapers, It is 'reported, Of a group of 100 singlo men, only 17 spent an hour or more with newspapers, the majority upending 6 to 30 minutes. As these men cast off tho caro-freo days of bachelordom, enter the busi ness arena, ami take over the reins of the family budget, their interest in newspapers apparently Increases to a remarkable degree . 'Of 100 married men It was found that 57 read news papers for an hour or more while 30 read newspapers for from 30 to GO minutes. This may throw some light on the, fact thnt In addition to a wide inter. ' est in business, finance and sports evidenced by a vast number of letterv addressed by men to tho editor or theso features "men by the hun dreds" also apply to medical writers for advice on health and psychology, m well as otlouetto. cooking and house-furnishing. From tho advertiser's standpoint, tho bulletin reports male Intercut no. only in such things aa tobacco and razor blades, but In such fcmlnlnp lines as food and household equip ment (washing machines, for in stance). Testimony from advertisers themselves is quoted to show the val ue of newspaper advertising in sell ing securities, insurance, real estate, Office equipment, travel facllltUH, men's clothing, and sporting goods. "Though many of this vast army (of men) may never rend anything else, they read tho newspapers," the bul letin says. "Though many may read Intensively In other lines, they rend the newspapers as well. And though their individual interest vary as widely as the elements that make up anv cross section of the population, some part of tho newspaper mceU thtiso Into rests ."Albany uemoernt- Herald. m siNKss iu:covi;hv There are numerous indlcnttous of buMnestf upturn In all parts of the United Stales, characterised by the Otmrantv Trust company of New Yorx as significant because tho outlook for recovery, rather than the fear of ut ter disaster, now' occupies general at tention.

Bituminous coal production has. increased materially from the low levels of midsummer. A slight expan sion has taken place In construction contract and lumber production has gained. The Increase In factory em ployment last month suggests a. re vival of rather broad scope in the rate of Industrial production." Wlille many factors are proving that there Is definite improvement, the New York financial house points to the persistent demand for further vet erans' bonu3 legislation as unques tionably hampering business recovery, particularly In view of tho continuing deficit indicated by the treasury state ments for the first two months offthe fiscal year.
