E. Keith, ad vertising manager for Miller s Mercantile company, in presenting a careful analysis of result get ting methods in advertising before the Salem Ad club at luncheon, yesterday. "Business is good, the best ever known in peace time. This is pi-oved: first, by the amount of business passing through the country banks; second, railroads are carrying the largest amount of freight; third, postal receipts have been exceeding all previous records; fourth, imports and ex ports made a new high record; fifth, factories are busy, prices, atid wages are good. ! "Before the World war the av erage consumer looked upon ad vertising as an expense for which hb had to pay dearly. Many so called shrewd business men re ferred to advertising as that 'mys terious something' ani bought their advertising space at random. Some manufacturers went so far as to tell their client that the un named product they had for sale was high in quality because they did not advertise. They expended that money in perfecting their product. i "The World war with its at tendant speeding up of things proved that good advertising when placed to intelligent use was a fprce vital to any business. Mr. little more money on advertising that his salespeople coma sen mnra merchandise and at prao mwi w ttxiw tb same over-head until a volume of business was steadily built whereby overhead expense was reduced which eventually reached the consumer in way o lower retail prices, i "Summed up it meant this: Ad vertising creates volume, volume lessens selling costs. Lower costs reflect in lower retail prices. The speeding 'UP of business brings about not only a healthier business for that merchant but fresher stocks of merchandise for the con sumer. ! "Mr. Merchant found that nis advertising dollar must buy the Kfst publicity possible. He I looks to circulation and classes ot circulation. Four years ago Spent fully 15 per cent of our ad vertising money upon program and theatre advertising. Today We spend less than 2 per cent. We tombat sales resistance to a large xtent by handling nationally ad vertised lines. S "Many sales are consummated before our patrons enter our store. jHow do we know our advertising pays? We check or key it often to ascertain its force. "Horace A. Saks, the man who moved Fifth Avenue up a mile.

E. Rosendahl, Ben ior surviving officer of the wrecked airship. Captain Foley entered empha tic denial that he had sought to sway Mrs. Lansdowne's testimony before the court, while Command er Rosendahl declared that "any inference" or "any insinuation that Lieutenant Commander Zach ary Lan3downe took out the Shen andoah believing that weath er conditions would jeopardize her safety and .that of the 42 men on board with him "approaches the height of absurdity and slanders the dead."

Asserting that Commander Lansdowne had no doubt of the ability of himself and of his crew to carry out the midwestern flight of the Shenandoah and that there fore he did not "knowingly and wilfully subject his crew to cer tain disaster," Commander Rosen dahl said: I wish to emphasize that I have made thi3 statement for the sake of fair play so that the in disputable facts may enjoy a just domination over any possible fancied, perverted or prejudiced variations thereof." In reaching Its decision concern ing Mrs. Lansdowne's charge the court has 3 courses- It may recom mend a general court martial for the officer or a reprimand by the secretary of the navy or it may exonerate him by discharging him as a defendant before it.
