posed amendment will definitely pre
scribe that railroads, public utilities
and other specific classes of industries
only shall be allowed to receive loans
directly from the corporation. Addition
of a new clause specifically prohibiting
Federal aid to industries without sub
stantial standing Is proposed.
Opposition to the license feature of
the war finance corporation bill, by
which the Government would supervise
security issues by private concerns, re
sulted in Secretary McAdoo being called
before the Senate finance committee for
a third explanation.
Chairman Simmons said members ob
jected to so drastic governmental con
trol over private corporations.
Mr. McAdoo arranged to submit to
the committee tomorrow drafts of the
compromise amendments and Chairman
Simmons said later that he hoped to
complete and report the bill tomorrow.
It will be considered in the Senate when
the railroad bill Is out of the way. In
his conference today with the commit
tee. Secretary McAdoo is also under
stood to have acceded to the amend
ment recently adopted by the commit
tee to clothe the President Instead of
the Secretary, as the head of the corpo
ration, ivlth the power of appointing
the four other directors of the corpo
ration. Opposition in the committee has been
centered on the licensing provision of
the bill, which as drafted proposed that
the corporation's directors would regu
late and. In effect, have power to veto,
new issues of securities of, $100,000 and
more.
Thomas G. Montgomery, H. N. Elliott,
H. J. Brown, Orson Moody and A. N.

THE ROUTE OF YOUR WANT AD
; Few persons realize the number of hands
through which a want ad must pass after it
is brought in or telephoned to The Oregonian
office.
1 The telephone or counter clerk receives the ad;
2 Checker goes over the ad to correct any errors in spelling
I or classification ;
3 Copy boy carries it to composing room;
4 Foreman of classified sorts by classifications and dis
tributes to linotype operators;
5 Linotype operator sets ad into type;
6 Printed proof of ad goes to proofreader to be read for
typographical errors;
7 If any errors, ad goes back to machine for correction;
8 Goes back to proofreader;
9 When "OK" goes to make-up man for distribution into
form under proper classification;
10 Page, when made up, goes to stereotypers, who cast it
into solid plate;
11 To pressroom, where papers are run;
12 To carriers, newsboys, newsdealers and mail, for distribution.
If YOUR ad for The Sunday Oregonian is received LATE
Saturday evening you are making it very difficult for every
one of these workmen to give perfect service by forcing them
to work under a heavy strain and at high tension, for besides
your ad there will be hundreds of others received at the last
minute.
Why not bring; in or telephone your ad EARLY
next Saturday ? Or, better still, send it in on Friday.
