Law of Barter

IT to a tribute to advertisers generally, for truthful
advertising that they stand back of. that most
people are surprised to learn that a merchant Is not
. required. In the eyes of the law. to seU a certain
: article at a certain price as
advertised.
The question, arising from
mistakes In ads. has been tried
In court on several occasions.
One Instance, in Ohio, was the
advertisement of a sewing ma

mistake) when the going price
was $175. A customer then sued
for the difference between I17S.

chine, and the advertised price.
tii, namely 1149, and failed to
recover.
The law, said the court, la
that the ordinary sales adver
tisement Is only an Invitation to the public to make
offers for the purchase of the goods for the price
named. It does not bind the advertised to sell his
goods at tha price advertised.
In other words, the old natural law of barter still
Is basic No aales contract la binding until both
buyer and seller specifically say yes to each other.
In actual practice, most any advertiser will stand
back of his ad unless the mistake la self evidently
a mistake because of Its absurdity. And the adver
tising medium (speaking for newspapers) will go
along with the advertiser If It's the medium's mla-
- take.
The point, again. Is that advertisers stand by
their guns so well that It's a surprise to learn
that they're not legally required to.

MACKENZIE
ADDISON
By DKYVITT MarKEN'ZlE
THE mystery of the voluntary exile In America of
Ivan Mestrovlc world famous Yugoslav sculptor
who has been playing diplomatic tick-tack-toe with
an anxious Marshal Tito, has ceased to be a mystery.
The dynamic Mestrovlc, who now la head of the
department of sculpture In Syracuse university, came
down to New York City and we
got together for a long talk In
which he told all." I reported a
previous conversation In this col
umn, but he was cautious and
reserved then. So should I be if
I were matching wits with Tito.
The Yugoslav dictator has been
sending frequent emissaries to
Mestrovlc the most recent with
in a few days urging the sculp
tor to return homef Why? What
does the two-fisted Tito want
with an artist who Is opposed to
communism? That question makes
the room seem sort ot chlUy. doesnt It especially
since Tito for a time had Mestrovlc's brother In
prison?
IN order to get the full significance of Tito's move
you must know Mestrovlc, This striking personality
Is the bearded prototype of the Yugoslav patriot
who always haa battled for liberty. Indeed Mestrovlc
was widely known In his country as a patriot before
he achieved fame as a sculptor, in token of which
he was thrown Into prison by Hitler's minions after
the nasi Invasion of Yugoslavia during the world
war.
In short Mestrovlc Is one ot Yugoslavia's great
men whose name la honored In every home In the
country. Tito Is battling mighty Moscow for the life
of his regime, and he needs the support of folk like
Mestrovlc.
The sculptor puts It a little differently. He says
he doesnt believe Tito means him any personal
harm. Mestrovlc doea recognise that his return home
would In effect be placing the stamp ot approval on
the communist government and he thinks this Is
what Tito haa in mind.
This idea Is supported In a dispatch from Istanbul,
Turkey. An Informed source there states that Tito
Is trying to come to terms with Yugoslav exiles to
help him convince the United States and Britain
that he can be trusted In his fight with Moscow.
HOWEVER, Mestrovlc haa no Intention ot going
home until religious and political freedoms are
restored in Yugoslavia. And In his mind the oppres
sion is symbolized by the case ot Archbishop Alojrijc
Stepanle, head of the Roman Catholic church In
Yugoslavia, who In IMS was convicted by a people's
court of sponsoring an organization ot terrorists and
was sentenced to It years In prison where he now Is.
This case stirred the whole civilized world at the
time.
Stepinac and Mestrovlc have been great friends
for years. So strong Is the bond between these two
that the sculptor la making the release ot the arch
bishop a requisite ot compliance with Tito's pressing
invitations to return home. M estrone speaks firmly,
though without heat, regarding the situation.
"I have no prejudice against Tito," he told me.
"nor do I wish to harm the Interests ot my country
which commands my love and loyalty as much as
Tito's. My sole Intention la to Illustrate the case of
a just man and the errors ot people's courts.
"When Tito was heading the partisans In their
epic struggle against the nasi Invaders and their
supporters he had the sympathies ot Stepanle and
oi mysell. These sympathies ceased when he Imposed
his form of rule on the country.
Not everything that Tito and his communists are
doing in our country can be termed as bad. In fact
tneir achievements In the reconstruction of a devas
tated land and In Its rapid Industrialization are truly
remaraaoie. However, the freedom ot conscience and
the respect of human dignity, which the neool
claim, do not exist at present My sympathies are
wiin uto even now when he has taken a stand
against Moscow In defense of the Independence of
the country.'
SO the next move Is up to Marshal Tito the re
lease of Archbishop Stepanle

World Strife Biggest Item
In Huge U.S. Expenditures
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON, Dec. It W The
government will spend about 143,
500,000,000 this fiscal year, which
began July 1 and ends next June
30.
Ot that amount about $11300,000,
000 will be spent on things strictly
for home use: running the govern
ment, housing, help for farmers,
education and so on.
Vj The rest of the $43 billion about

rope and other countries to block
communism and stave off war, and
other countries to block commu
nism and stave off war, and other
International dealings to keep
friends and seek prosperity, for us
and our neighbors.
It breaks dora this way:
$13 billion for the armed forces.
$6.1 billion for International af
fairs. Including the Marshall plan,
arming Europe, and help to other
countries.
UJ billion for veterans of World
Wsr II and previous wars.
$5.7 billion Interest on the public

to domestic problems. Most of ft

sidered part ot the national defense
since most of It la aimed at stoo
ping communism and keeping
friends.
Yesterday the committee for eco
nomic development (CEO) said the
outlook for the next several years
win oe the spending of around $20
ouiion a year on security, or Just
a little more than the present
amount.
The CED Is an organization of
business executives which waa set
up during the war. It describes It
self as a non-political organization
designed to encourage "high pro
duction and employment within the
framework of a free society."
And this week one ot the former
heads and ot the CEO had some
thing to say about security. He Is
Paul Hoffman, now head of the
Marshall plan, called the economic
cooperation administration (ECA)
He didn't talk of what our pres
ent security plan will continue to
cost. He spoke of what It would
cost us it we weren't doing what
we re doing now.
He said: "If Western Europe
should fall under the domination of
the kremlln. It nations now free
should become satellite police
states, only one course of action
would be open to us."
That course, he said, would be
to spend $25 to $30 billion on de
fense.
What positive assurances do we
have that. If standing alone, we
build up a huge army and air
force, we'd be able to stand off
the world Indefinitely? None.
What positive assurances do we
have that, following the course we
are following now, we'll be able In
the end to win cut over communism
Nothing positive. Only hope, or a
belief we'll win.
Hoffman made It clear he bases
his thinking on that belief. It Is
also the belief ot the Truman ad
ministration. Hoffman said:
"A much happier vista opens up
to us It Western Europe, Instead of
falling under the domination of the
kremlln, remains free and becomes
strong and prosperous, 11 we In the
United States remain strong and
prosperous. If we In the United
States remain strong and prosper
ous, and If we the free peoples ef
the world remain united.

Ladies: If You Must Buy
Ties, Here's SafestWay
V -Oil
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK. Dec. It (P Ladles.
I've been a bad boy.
And If Santa Claus Is to come my
way this year, you're going to have
to get me out of the doghouse.
How can you help? By goln
cut and buying a big fistful ot
Christmas neckties and giving them
to the men In your lives.
About a week ago I bemoaned the
fact that women were allowed by
law to present
neckties aa
Christmas gifts.
I suggested the
formation of a
society to stop
the custom.
Well, I didn't

EV Vt Mr ) man - ot - the-
suggestion. Nor
did I expect
grateful fellow
men to set up
BOYLE statues In my
honor minus a necktie on every
courthouse lawn.
Oach!
On the other hand neither did I
expect to end p In the-doghouse.
But here I am stuck In It up to
my cravat
The first reaction came from my
own wife.
So you don't think women are
smart enough to pick out neckties.
Rover?" said Frances, baring a bi
cuspid. "You'll be lucky if you get
even a bowtle from me. smarty. And
where, anyhow, la that fur coat
you promised me 12 years ago? Are
you waiting for the minks to die
of old age?
Right on top of that. Byron Fish,
columnist of The Seattle Times,
wanted to know If I was trying to
ruin his annual Christmas party.
It seems that Seattle men are
proud of the neckties their wives
give them. Last December 29 they
held a "National Necktie Party Day"
on which every man proudly wore
the most flamboyant tie on his
Christmas rack.
They were going to give a grand
prize, but unfortunately the Judges
met, it Is my belief that not only
will the evil plans of the men

but they will fall so utterly that
Russia herself will cease to be a

Insult
As If I wasn't feeling bad enough,
along came a telegram from Pete
lloyt. managing editor ot the Cedar
Rapids. Is.. Oazette, claiming I had
Insulted a fine old Xmas tradition.
"Ten mens clothing stores here
are cussing you." he said. "Eighty
per cent of tiea are bought by
women for their menfolk. Some men
would never wear a necktie If some
women dldnt buy It tor him. Think
what a drab world It would be with
out Christmas neckties."
Pete Insisted "some women" have
good taste In ties and said It would
be a good idea If I gave a few point
era to the rest of the girls on what
kind of ties men like. So. on the
chance that will get me out of the
doghouse, here goes:
There Is only one sure way, ladles,
to make a man happy with a gift
cravat. He probably will be already
wearing the tie he loves best. Just
kick his feet out from under him,
pin him with a half-nelson, tear
the tie from around his throat, take
it to the store and aay, "Olmma the
nearest one like It you got In stock."
Ne Candles
If you can't get his favorite tie
away from him. then take a color
photo of your Christmas tree to the
store. Put the color photo on a
stock of new ties. If they match,
don't buy any. Try to select one
that looks aa little like tha Christ
mas tree as possible.
Another good way Is to pick out a
tie and tell the salesman, "If I
purchase this one. will you take It
In exchange for the one you have
cn? I can take It home and presa It
and my husband will never know
the difference."
If the salesman backs away In
terror, choose another tie.
But If you Just simply cant make
up your mind, there's always this
way out buy your boy friend a tie
for his tux. You can't go far astray
there, ma'am even at Christmas.

Mayor Thompson and the Cltv

According to the argument pre

evening, the City Council In deny
ing this request for a tavern license
would actually be putting a man
out of business. Is It necessary tor
thla business to be on Main street?
Perhaps they would be keeping one
man In business, but how many
men (and women tool does a tavern
put out of business?
This very excellent Main street
location has supported a legitimate
business for a good many ears. Then
why hss It suddenly become so value
less unless a bar Is allowed to oper

Has Main street architecture and

as was Intimated at the council
meeting? Who will be paying fur
the contemplated exterior and In
terior Improvements dependent on
whether or not a bar Is allowed to
operate? Not the man whom the

be putting out of business.

Dosing Cough with Pills
May Obscure Real Trouble
By l:l)VIN P. JORDAN. M. D.
A long-lasllng chronic cough Is no
Joking matter. Furthermore, it may
be dangerous to Ignore It and Just
try to ease the cough with drug
store remedies.
There are many possible causes
for a chronlo cough. At least 20 or
30 possible causes are described In
medical books. One of the most ser
ious, of course, is tuberculosis of
the lungs and Indeed cough may be
the first symptom of this danger
ous disease. Valuable time may be
lost If a cough caused by tubercu
losis la Ignored.
Chronic sinus Infection or Infec
tion In the nose may cause small
amounts of mucus or pus to drop
down the back of the throat pro
ducing an Irritation and the hack
ing cough. An Inflammation of the
bronchial lubes called bronchitis Is
frequently at fault.
May Be Lang Trouble
Cough can last for a long time
after apparent recovery from pneu
monia or other acute Infections of
the lungs.
Even If the csuse of the cough
Itself Is not important and does not
require treatment, a severe cough
over a long period of time may
cause the small air tubes running
to the lungs to become dilated and
filled with mucus or pus. eventusilf
producing the disease railed bron.
chlectasls. Bronchiectasis Is hsrd
to treat and may Itself cause tht
cough to go on and on.
It la not necessary to b alarmed
unduly about a cough which does
not seem to go away. If, however,
a cough seems to be lasting toe
long and especially If other symp
toms, such as loss of weight or
slight fever are present. It Is wise
to try to find the exact cause.
