ONE of the best advertising slogans ever devised wag "ask the man who owns one." For the proof of the pudding is in the eating. People are naturally sceptical when the man who wishes to sell an article praises it. But when the man who has purchased and used an article praises it, its value is as clearly established, as value can be, for the factor of selfish interest is eliminated. Therefore when Kenneth Collins, publicity director of the R. H. Macy company of New York, declares newspaper adver tising is the best medium available in the business world today, his opinion pretty well clinches the matter. He has no news paper space to sell, but he is one of the largest buyers of news paper space in the world- Says Mr. Collins: "I am constantly being attacked by direct-mail and other advertlsere, for thla point of view, but if I am wrong then nearly every retail atore In the country 1 wrong. Without exception they all apend by far the greatcat portion of their advertlalng money In the newspaper. And a quarter of a million merchanta can't all be wrong." The newspapers could yell their heads off for fifty years, about the great value of their advertising columns and not make as much impression as this single statement will make, by an advertiser who has no advertising to sell. Individual newspapers could point to the superiority of their columns over rival mediums, including other newspapers, till black in the face, and not boost their game as effectively as the simple word of advice from Mr. Collins: "Don't buy advertlalng apace blindly, tlalng "LOOK UNDER THE HOOD!" There is all the art and science, of successful advertising salesmanship in a nutshell. Don't waste time in boasting about what you HAVE, or claiming what you HAVEN'T. The people won't believe the first; and sooner or later will discover the falsity of the second. Leave it to "the man who owns one." Don't expect the potential customer to take your word for it. Just ask that bcfore ho hc lok the hood, and discover the truth IUMSELF 1 Ts , , , j L' ILLU . j fNE of the many candidates . mm ... w has just visited us, with a editorial entitled "On with the dance I" He happens to be one of the "outs" who wants to get in. NmVI ho "If I understand your editorial correctly, you are urging the people of Jackson County to vote .for those who are In and against those who are out. That doesn't seem to me to be sensible or fair. I haven't held public office but I believe I am better qualified for the place than the man who holds It. My record la clear. All I ask la that the people look It up. In aaklng them to vote for those on the Job all down the line, I don't think you are giving me a fair shako." Were we DOING that, we wouldn't yunk so either. We have just Biibjeoted ourselves to the somewhat painful task, of re reading the editorial in question and feel justified in saying that our visitor did NOT understand it- What we emphasized was the folly of succumbing blindly to this hysteria of "turn the rascals out," to the point of re placing "honest, experienced and efficient public officials with dishonest, inexperienced and inefficient ones." We tried to make clear that in the resulting disaster such a policy would produce . . . NOT the rejected candidates, but the people themselves, would be the real victims. llE hold absolutely to that contention and now repeat it. " But to conclude from the aforesaid that "we favor voting for those on tiie job all down the line" appears to us, entirely unwarranted by the context. Obviously to vote blindly for the "ins" and against the "outs" would be as stupid and undesirable as to vote blindly for the "outs" and against the "ins." Blind voting of any sort, is the ono thing we DON'T want. What we DO want, and what we thought in that editorial and several preceding we had made quite clear is clear-eyed, intel ligent and discriminating voting- ..-THAT'S all I Toward this end we have urged the people of .TnnlraM Pn. 1 - j i .v .... . ...v..o ...vmuiij, lo nuopi various applicants for public office they would adopt toward applicants for privato office, look up their records, judge them solely on the grounds of character and fitness for tha job. If the best man happens to be in office, KEEP HIM THERE j if the best man happens to bo out of office, TOT HIM IN. In other words, our attitude toward this primary campaign, is precisely the same as our attitudo toward advertising as out lined above: Don't take anyone's word for it, don't judge a ear by the paint on the outside, investigate the matter vonrself, use your head, that's all "LOOK UNDER THE U00D!"

Fhona 7M, Today By Arthur Brisbane Plenty of Land, , A Lynching Moral, Beer for Tax, or Thirst, Heard Around the World. Copyright King Peaiuree Synd GALLUP, New Mexico, April 19. This is written on the Santa Fe train east bound from the Facific ocean to New York. Just now the train rolls over the high lands of Arizona. The Grand Canyon is over to the northwest Here and there among hills covered with pine trees you see a modern saw mill like a devouring cancer chang ing green trees into flat yellow boards. However we have in this country more than a billion acres of land not used, except for lumbering and a little graz ing. If intelligence controlled our forests they would outgrow the consuming power of saw mills, Reforestation, with the aid of airplanes scattering seeds will solve the forest problem when scientifically attended to The Phoenix Oazette, and the Al buquerque Journal, bring you newe of the world, from Toklo, where the Japaneae are worrying, through to Moecow where the Russians aeem to be planning war, and on to Wash ington, D. C, where the great finan cial puzzle la located. Kansas supplies a lynching, with a prohibition moral showing thatlt la one thing to tell men they can't have whiskey, and another to keep them from getting It. A mob of two hundred Kansas farmers took Robert Read, 03 years old, from a Jail at St. Francis, He had knldnaped and killed, after bru tally maltreating her, a girl 8 years old. The farmer did not care to wait for alow justice, and It la diffi cult to blame them. The man lynched made no com plaint. Standing under a tree with rope around his neck, he said "You are lynching the right man. I was drunk at the time." Mayor Walker of New York sug gest a "beer-for-tax day" parade, to show that the people want beer. Those that pay high taxes would like a tax on beer, and for them It will be "beer-f or-tax-day.' To the average man In the procession It will be "beer-f or-thirst" day. Mayor Walker thinks a million men and women will be In line, and that would be Interesting, for no such crowd ever gathered In any other pa rade from July Fourth to St. Pat rick's day. If one million beer advocates pa rade they will pass on the right and left, aa they march, about fifty-thou sand speakeasies, enough to accom modate all the million paraders at once. And in those "prohibition loons' the paraders can get every sort of drink, from the worst beer badly made, to the worst whiskey with poisonous alcohol. Millions of schoolboys have hearft, thousands of patriots have talked, about "the ahot heard around the world." at the battle of Concord. That ahot wasn't heard around the world, even figuratively speaking. Three-quarters of the world's people never heard of It and don't know anything about It yet. When the shot waa fired, 157 years ago. It would have seemed Insanity to suggest that a ahot would some day be heard all around the world. But that thing happened yesterday, in the General Electric laboratortea at Schenectady. Governor Ely of Massachusetts fired a shot from a musket dating back to the Revolutionary war. The sound traveled over a short wave ; hookup to Kootwljk, Holland, then ! to Bandoeng, Java, to Sydney, Aus tralia, and back to Schenectady. Not only that, but the ahot trav sltd around the world and cam, back to Schenectady via tha radio In leas time than It took for ts sound of tha shot to travel to the room neat to that In which the musket waa fired.

Could any humane and fair-minded person object to the use of such material In nutrition ex periments, for ex ample? It would b e comparatively easy to keep s thousand prisoners on a particular diet for a month or a year, and thousand of tfoelr fellows on the same diet plus or minus the one factor under study. That would give a properly controlled scientific test, and we might learn much to the advantage of the race. At present we have to depend largely upon animals for our experimental material, and It Is not possible to assume that what Is good or sufficient feed for an animal Is proper or ade quate nourishment for a child. One of the mistakes we have made In attempting to apply the results of animal experimentation to human nutrition Is the assumption that vita min A helps Infants and children particularly to gain Immunity against respiratory Infections. Some observ ations of four groups ot Infants thru the autumn and winter months, by Drs. H. h. Barenberg and J. M. Lewis of New York, Indicated that infants receiving a large dally ration of vita min A have no greater Immunity against respiratory Infections than have Infants receiving very little vi tamin A. But such a study does not lessen the assurance given us by animal ex perimentation exclusively, that vita min A la essential for the develop ment of normal Immunity against respiratory Infections. It merely serves to remind us that we cannot ayply animal experimentation to hu man physiology. The point Is that vitamin A Is prob acy essential for the development of a fair degree of Immunity against re spiratory Infections, especially In the Infant or young child. But It doea not follow that the Infant or child gains any greater Immunity or other advantage from a superabundance of vitamin A either in thj form of cod liver of) or otherwise . Because physicians In recent years have advised giving every Infant, es pecially artificially fed Infant, a dally ration of a teaspoon ful of cod liver oil, from the age of four weeks to th end of the first year, some par ents have assumed that cod silver oil 1. rather good for children of any age. That Is not so. It Is generally Inadvisable to give any cod liver oil or any concentrate purporting to pro vide vitamin A to a child over one year of age, unless It Is definitely prescribed by a physician for the treatment of a specific condition. Likewise, it Is probable that a mod erate exposure of the Infant's or l Rallroada ahould be upheld and maintained In some way. They are absolutely essential to national proa. perlty, and If tha cream of their profit Is to be taken off by truck freight hauls and long motor bus passenger hauls, they capnot exist. But nothing could be more fool ish, useless, or nationally harmful, than discouraging that which means efficiency. The fact that motor buses take business from rallroada provea that they handle the business In a man ner satisfactory to the public. To In terfere with that would be as child lsh as It would have been to Inter fere with rallroada when they flrat arrived, In order to protect the stage coach Unea. A way must be found, by govern ment support, or better, by Improve ment In railroad methods and equip ment, to meet competition. The prob lem should not and cannot be solved by trying to cripple automobile trans portation which Is aa important to. day aa waa the ateam locomotive one hundred years ago. When last heard from, Kansas City's one pound St. John baby was doing well In his Incubator. His first nourishment waa augar and water, taken with an eye dropper. After that cam milk. Sugar mixed with water, apread on bread and butter, taken in the form of plain candy, preferably hard, which prevents quick ewallowtng, la necessary for children. Vice-President Curtis tells the Daughters of the Revolution "alien criminals must go and "we must keep American neutrality aa a sacred thing, helping other countries, but refusing to be drawn Into their quar rels." It Is even more Important to have this country thoroughly defended In order to prevent foreigners from com ing here to pick a quarrel, It la literally true that all the other nations dislike us, and a fsw of them hale us. Including Russia. th world puaale. that resent, with H ' w,ln uuuiuii .iwiuaa oi ; this government.

It Is not necessary that the child should acquire a coat of mahogany tan, though such pigmen tation may be a good guage of the amount of open air treatment In cases of tuberculosis. Good natural food sources of vi tamin A are egg yolk, but ter fat, cream, fresh raw milk, liver, sweet breads, kidneys, orange juice, all the yellow foods carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, ripe banana, yellow corn or yellow corn meal, and most of the green leafy relishes. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Woman Who Likes to Walk. February 4 an article In this col umn referred to the Man Who Once Walked a Mile. A mother nearly 45 years of age told us the time will come when people will point to such a man as an anomaly. Then ahe mentioned the difficulty she has in finding a woman companion on her walks. This brought In eager In quiries from numerous other women who like walking and who experience much the same sort of general paraly sis among their women friends. I regret I failed to keep a memoran dum of the first contributor's ad dress. A Rochester, N. Y., reader and a Newark, N. J., reader, both fair walking fans, are anxious to walk with her. The latter says she walks never less than six miles a day, no matter what the weather. The Roch ester lady Is fond of week-end hlkw of from 20 to SO miles, sleeping 13 hours at a tourist home, and then hiking back next day. Great health stuff, this. There has never been a time when ordinary walking was of greater health value than It is today. It butters no parsnips for me to say so, but I believe a lot of near-ln-vallds who now keep expensive phy sicians In golf pants would enjoy more and better years on this planet If they would Invest two hours a day In walking.

Jenkins' Comment (Continued from Page One ) fore; Just as every year the builders of automobiles provide something better and make us WANT it. nnHERE is plenty of reason to be- lieve that with mass production wooden houses could be built much more cheaply than they are built now. If that were possible, we could build houses and live In them until something better was provided and then we could build again, thus keeping up constantly with progress, Wood, which Is capable of beauty just as great as stone or brick, lends Itself marvelously to such an Idea, which Is certainly a modern Idea.
