From now on a motor car won't be considered old until it begins to tet weak in the knees. :o: The agencies that encourage pur chase of railroad material are good times and sleepy engineers.. :o: They ray the title worn by Bar bara Hutton's prince in reality means "prosperous farmer." We were ture it was something unusual. :o: "It's a great country, but you can't live in it for nothing." says Will Rogers, who evidently isn't one cf those who wait until the last min ute to fill cut the income tax return. :o: Ecger Babsnn says if we develop character as we develop crops, all c ur problems will take care of them- : i 1 ves Mr. Babsoii doesn't seem to be ' in my fear of overproduction in the new line, either. :o: Alter all, there's no reason why rn administration should claim great credit lor running a town without deficit. That's what it was elected to dc. But no one will deny that, even so, it's a rare performance. :o: Ralph Capone, releasee; after two' years in prison for income tax eva-j sion, says he is going into legitimate business in Chicago. Of course, Mr. Capcne is doubtless aware that legi timate business has a number of drawbacks, one of them being that it is subject to income tax. :o: It may be that some or the NP.A critics gathered in Washington may register a few feeble suggestions, in spite of General Johnson's mighty blast at the nooning session. We re call that on a memorable occasion, Oliver Twist summoned courage, un d;r equal utress; to ark for more. :o: Since the proposal was made to help unemployed writers out ol CWA funds, a number of persons- have in quired how an unemployed writer differs from an employed one, there being r.o littl difference apparent! to the- naked eye. Well, one big dif- other by moving picture, radio orjin Washington. His work was clip ferenee is that the employed writer press. Unless there is a joker in the j ping items out of newspaper?.'

Beer seems to do better in the rless months. :o: Everything lias been invented for the motorist's comfort except a tele phone pole that can dodge. :o: The type of stories the confession magazines didn't dare publish teni years ago are now on the book shelves as best sellers. :o:- What we dread about a prosperity revival is having to remove the win dow screens, fandbox, beer cases, etc., from the other half of tho garage. :o: A woman artist from Venice, visit- ing this country, says American men adore their women but live in con stant fear of them. Is it necessary to come 3,000 miles across the water to tell us the obvious? :o: Some cf the new schools of finan cial thought are beginning to talk sensibly. One of them would bring back the silver dollar to promote spending, on the theory that people will spend them because they can't carry them. :o:- An editorial writer on trie- Minne- j aolis Journal had the courage tlie j other clay to quote a few lines nom Tennyson's "Ulys-ses," and we sup- ose he has been busy ever since try- , ing to convince some of his readers that Tennyson really did write a work called "Ulysses." :o: The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says a promoter is a man who knows what ought to be done, but hasn't got the money. That is the idealized defin- j ition. The new meaning, dating circa 1920, is that he is a man who got the money, but didn't do what he knew ought to be done. :o: Germany and Poland have signed an agreement whereby neither na- tion will direct propaganda at the , deal somewhere, this looks like the! first real move towards peace in Eu- rope since the Armistice. Villain Still Pursues Travel was a luxury i row years ago; bus now tha thrifty person goes j to Europe at current rates, and the I extravagant person rtays-home and; tries to pay his bills. :o: There is talk of reconciliation be tween tho Fairbankses and Tick fords. We rather fancied Doug's re cent British record would make a fa vorable impression somewhere. :o: It seems as if about the time we get tho 12-year-old momentarily educated to talking English instead cf the Joe Penner dialect, Wheeler and Woolsey come to town. There's always something. :o: This much may be added to what has been raid about Albert, king of Belgians he left to Leopold a going concern; all in all, one of the best situations in Europe for a young man who wants to be king. :c : Had you noticed that in come lo calities this spring the popular taste in political models tends away from the tall, heavy type toward a low- streamline, as LaGuardia in xew Ycrk and Dcilfuss in Vienna? :o :- President Roosevelt is for "a more abundant national life." Mr. Hoo ver's way cf saying it was "a chick en in every pot." We guess Mr. Hoo ver lost out because he didn't talk the language of the man in th? street. :o: General Sandino, who was slain in Nicaragua the other day, was said to have been engaged in farming ever eiiice- Lis truce with the government a year ago. and was making money. Naturally this led to serious com plications. :o: Once again Chicago scho?l teach ers are clamoring for their unpaid wages. By thi3 time the teachers should at least be convinced of one thing, and that is Charles G. Dawes isn't the cue who has been holding 0ut on them rot- Touhy, Capor.e, Insull and a!l the rezt of the Chicago hoodlums may be j innocent, according to a ruling dug up by the Illinois superc court. The (rest cf us might as well plead guilty, j mates, and hope to get off with ' nincty-nln? years, ! :o: An unnamed editor is said to be authority for the Vt'atemen' that a man 70 years old has spent nine ye'ar (taking off and putting oei hi? cloth- jRg. One comfort for those denied 70 years then, is that less time h spent dressing and undressing. :o: Ex-Governor Bilbo of Mississippi has resigned his position in the AAA haps he resigned in fear that if he continued he would be cutting then 'cut in the shape of paper dolls. Her ADVERTISING PAYS THE BUYER ' wiio pays the cost of advertising? The answer usually is prompt and confider.t: The consumer. And that simple coiutioii of an omnipresent economic problem leads many to con clude that one more unnecessary bur den is being ioaded upon the luck less fellow at the end of the line. Granting that the consumer has to pay all the expenses of the moans cf persuading him to buy an article, how much would he save if produc ers and distributors abandoned ad vertising? An answer recently was given by a government official who rates as an exceptional authority. Wroe Alderson, for mors than eight years connected with the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, has been in charge cf extensive surveys to get at the most economical meth ods for conducting retail business, particularly in the grocery and drug trades. Dealing with advertising, Mr. Al derson admits that the consumer must foot the bills, but he contends that the consumer in paying for a nickel's worth of advertising gets CO cents' worth cf benefits in lo wer pro duction, distribution and e-ales cost. Advertising does something that has to be clone it .business is to ieacn worth while proportions, and does it at the lowest possible cost. In fact, in the advertising costs. the consumer merely is paying lor his own education. He reeds and wants the things he buys and finds in them a satisfaction commensurate with their cost, but he learns of the tilings, that he needs through adver tisements. There are other ways of making the contact between pro ducer and consumer, but in the main the all are more expensive. By the general process of advertising, the ive .iuecr makes known to large num bers of prospective customers the fact that his products are in the market and furnishes sufficient information about them to create a desire for them. As Mr. Alderson phrases it, "Advertising minimizes the enor mous cost of consumer indecision." The results are accelerated turnover and reduction of time required for each sales transaction. "The turnover is from three to ten times as great on an advertised product as it is on a product pre sented to the consumer by other means." The result is greatly in creased production with attendant economies which enable makers ot generally advertised products to give consumers beu&fits in. tho way of im proved quality and lower prices. From the Detroit News. . ;o: INDIAN PLUNDERING EXPOSURE PROMISED Surfeited as the public may be with exposures of corruption, Collier's Weekly staggers us with the prom ie of an entirely new revelation cf the white man's "systematic plunder ing" of the American Indians in re cent times. This is to hi one of the early housecleaning jobs of the Rocse velt administration through its In dian commissioner, John Collier. It is doubtful that this exposure will reach the front pages of the newspapers, picturesque and stream lined as it may prove to be. If white men plunder white men, that's news; but if white men plunder Indians it is a matter of course wholly in harmony with the American tradition. One is asked to consider certain statements of fact in this connec tion: That "a cocl billion of the Indian's current cash has been made magically to disappear from right before his eyes, while at the same time his land holdings have shrunk miraculously from 113 million to less than 47 mil lion acres." That "only recently the poor Navajos have had to sit idly by and see an official ot" the government sell to his friends for a paltry one thou sand dollars an oil structure of theirs which those friends immediately dis posed of for ccveral millions." The high spot in the coming inves tigation will doubtless be the inside story of what happened to the fabu lously rich oil lands of the Osage tribe in Oklahoma. .Something of the story i.s known already. ThetOsages from 1915 to 1S32 were entitled to oil royalties amounting to 100 thousand dollars for every brave, squaw and papoose, or to 243 million dollars for the whele tribe. Says Collier's: "You can imagine what took place. Never before have gangsters and racketeers, disguised a3 business men, lawyers, politicians and even clergymen, had such a chance for legalized stealing." If the whole truth must come out concerning the distribution cf wealth in America in the past 20 years, thers ia r.o escaping the complete history of the Osage tribe of Indians in its wonderland experience with the al mighty dollar. Springfield Republi can. :o:- Phone news izcms xo ?o. 8. , We note that the Chicago Tribune has finally surrendered to the poor spellers on its news staff, and is out with a new list of misspelled words in the name of spelling reform. :o: It is obliging of the state of Okla homa to build fine wide highways through the Cookson Hills, so that the criminals hiding therein can be more easily cleaned out. It will also make it easier for the criminals to move in and out, and also seems that the criminals generally have the fast est cars and the mosts gasoline.
