CANADA NEWSPAPERS BEST. Newgpupcis provide the best way for clothing merchant* to advertlBe their clotlies to the public. This ha« been agreed by the National Associ- ation of Retail Clothiers assembled In convention lu Chicago. They have decided unanimously on an advertis- ing program fOr the coming year wljlch U Bclieduled to spend by far the bulk of the total appioprlatton on ncwupapcr advertising. Th» clothing men know from long •xperiencc that the buying public looks to the newspapers for the an- nouncenienta of merchants and man- ufacturers. And the people read the advertisements, have a chance to read them a second or third time If they wish and to <llscuss them. Then they act and buy. That's why the clulhiera are making sure they will do the hulk of their advertising in the columns of tiie newspapers. â€" Border Cities Star.

Princeton Uulvei-sity has just now made a change In Us curriculum which Is causing wide comment, illtherto It has been giving cour- •es on the art of war whioii were given ii conjunction with the Re- serve Offlcora Training Corps. In the place of one of these courses on the operation of an artillery battery, In- â- tructlon will be given on the agen- cies for the promotion of peace, In- •lead of another course on commu- •Ication systems and gun firing will *e one on civil and military law. The subject was tlireshed out by the unl erslty together with the Re- •erve Ofllcers' Training Corps and this action taken as a result.

THE FLEA AND THE EMPIRE A Ilea waa the grand-daddy of the British Kmpire, we are told by Ur. Thomas W. M. Cameron. From his institute of parasitology at .Matdou- ald College. Quebec, he tells a plaus- ible story. The Ilea, he says, caus- ed the Black Death in Kurope. This ruined Kngllsh agriculturp and shlf- ed Into sheep growing. This made wool and broadcloth Ensland'fl staple products and led to the ne- ce.salty of finding foreign markets. This In turn led to the founding of the overseas empire. â€" Winnipeg Tri- bune. OBVIOUSLY As the crowded London bus came to a standstill, a stout, inlddlc-aged man descended the stairs, currying a small girl, obviously his daughter. Tenderly placing ills burden on the curb, he ascended the stairs again and shortly returned carrying a tiny dog. Placing the dog beside the child, he returned upstairs and af,'aln descended, bearing a second child, wlilch he stood bcsldj the first. Once more he ascended tiie stairs and again returned, carrying a third youngster. These evolutions were eagerly ob- served by a passenger seated Inside the bus, who, as father proceeded to dismount with his tliird olTspring, ex- claimed In a loud stage whisper: "Lumme, 'e must have a nest up there!" â€" Vancouver Province. EDDIE CANTOR TELLS ENGLAND Eddie Cantor receives, or is said to receive some flO.OOO for a brief radio brotulcast In the United States, and bo penhaps it was not unnatural that when he spoke recent- ly over a British Broadcasting sta- tion, he expressed a decided prefer- ence for the system of his own coun- try. His statement started a contro- versy that has been filling the letter columns of the Manchester Guardian, and whicA the Guardian summarizes In these words: "So far there has appeared no sign of envy on the part of British iistonera The general feeling ex- pressed on this side Is tliat no swell- ing of revenue would compensate for the inescapable horrors of wireless advertisements." The case for supporting broadcast- ing by the revenues from a<ivertlsing, as made by Mr. Cantor, la that the competitive basis on wliich it rests evolves the "talent" that the radio needs â€" talent such as Mr. Cantorâ€" and that the advertising brings in the money to pay such entertainers on a lavish scale. But British listen- ers would not submit to the invasion of tJielr homes by the cominerclallam that dominates the wireless In the United States â€" and of which Can- adian radio is not entirely free, â€" Ottawa Journal.

Last year there were 0.779 convictions. It is by pure coin- cidence that the figures appear at tOie same time as the announcement that in Britain 18,500,000 of us go to the pictures every week, which means that one in every three of us is a film fan. But only one In sev- eral thousands of us lands in gaol In a whole lifetime, much less once a week. Every now and then a mag- istrate blames the films for crime. He is usually a very old magistrate who never goes to the pictures. Wiien he was a boy they blamed penny dreadfuls! â€" Manchester Sunday Chronicle. Washington â€" The stenographer's favorite instrument, the typewriter, was described in an official report as an emancipator of women. "The invention and devej^pment of the typewriter has opened more jobs to women than any other single machine, said a review by the women's bureau of its first extensive study of feminine white collar work- ers. The pamphlet added that approxi- mately one out of every eight wo- men office workers in the seven cities studied operated a machine having some sort of a key board. "In the seventies and eighties, the amanuensis turned out stilted and formal letters in a Spencerian hand and the word stenographer was al- most unknown," the report said. "In this survey, the stenographic group formed about one-third of all office workers." However, mechancial devices which have followed the typewriter were said to have resulted in reducing numbers on certain types of work. The bureau studied some 43,000 of the 2,000,000 women at work in offices â€" a number larger than those employed in industry, in stores, or in any other occupation except domestic and personal service. Lady Ashley and Senior Fairbanks May Be Married Rome. â€" Doujilas Fairbanks and Lady Ashley, arriving in Kome re- cently smilinK and happy, slead- fa.stly refused to discuss the possi- bility of their marriage. "I have nothing to say on that subject," said Fairbanks when asked whether he contemplated be- ing married in Rome. "That is ray own business." The American film actor said he was planning a long cruise on a yacht being prepared in the United States. When asked whether Lady Ashley would accompany him on the voy- age, he replied that that, too, was his business. His attention was called to a re- mark by a newspaper correspondent that whenever an important event was about to happen in Faribanks' life, he came to Rome where his tailor lives and had a dozen suits made. Fairbailks merely lauhed and asked how the weather had been. Lady Ashley, who left the train without a hat, her blond hair cas- cading to her shoulders, and dressed in a luxurious fur coat, told those who approached her with questions about the rumored wedding. I never talk to newspapeniien. I have nothing to .=ay about that.'* Both Fairbanks and Lady Ashley kept far apart as they walked along the station platform to avoid being photographed together. Ultra Short Radio Interesting Waves Give Results in U.S. Test New York â€" New facts about ultra-short radio waves, showing that they spread like soft twilight in every direction, was reported to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers recently. These short waves were sprayed all over Boston from an antenna 130 feet above the ground. A receiving set on a truck travelled all over the city and a surrounding area of about 55 square miles. Never once did the truck com- pletely lose the little waves. There were deep radio shadows in them in s[)ots, as down behind buildings and under bridges. Some streets were brighter than others with these radio wates. The Boston experiments strengthen a growing belief that they have powers of reflection that may make them very useful. In Boston seem- ingly the little waves splashed and reflected from all sorts of surfaces. In spots completely hidden from the sending antenna, the waves seemed to be arriving by reflection from numerous other directions. Over salt water the rays were usu- ally bright and strong. After pass- ing the water they lost this extra strength. Under one bridge, as if under a deep shadow, the signal strength feel sharply. It rose again on each side of the bridge. Overhead trolley wires cast deep radio shadows, apparently interfer- ing with the short waves in all dir cctions. This cross-section sampling wai done in advertising, banking, insDr -ance, investment, mail order, pub lishing, and public utilities offices in New York, Hartford. Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Des Moines, and St. Louis, on salary, hours, promo- tion chances, and traininc required. "More women were at work as general clerks than at any other job in the offices included in the survey," the report said. "While numerically the largest group, general clerks re- ceived a monthly median salary of only $00 â€" a lower median than that received by any other class of em- ployees except file clerks whose median was $81, tabulating or key punchers whose median was $89, and a smaller number of messengers whose median was $55. Stenogra- phers, the second largest occupa- tion group, received a higher me- dian salary â€" $114. "In Chicago, the only city where data on the salaries of men officers were secured women were found for the most part to earn considerably less than the men even for the same jobs. "Negro women office workers in- cluded in the study earned much lower salaries than those of white women." Weather Map Shows Eight Different Kinds of Air â€" Will Assist Aviators. New York. â€" A new kind of weather map, showing eight kinds of air over the United States, was presented to aviation leaders at the annual meeting of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences. The eight, discovered largely by airplane, are all kinds Jiat exist in North America. They contain, and spill, all the types of weather troubles known, including those on which forecasters go wrong. The map is a step in "air-masses" analysis, the new system of fore- easting being inauguratec by the U. S. Weather Bureau. It was de- veloped by Dr. Irving Krick of the California Institute of Techology. No. 1 air is polar-continental. It comes down from Canada; is cold, di-y and "stable." It may be chilly but contains few storms. No. 2 is polar-Pacific, cold, fairly moist, sometimes showeiry and squally. There is polar-Atlantic, a twin of No. 2, but not quite as nasty in disposition. Four is polar-basin. That is some- thing they have between the Rockies and the Pacific Coast. It's farly warm and the producer of nice weather. Five is tropical-Pacific This is warm and moist, but surprisingly, is usually "stable," cr not stormy, be- cause its heat has been cooled by passing over the waters of the Pa- cific. Si.x is tropical Gulf and seven tropical-.A.tlantic. These two are twins in troublemaking. Both are very warm and moist. Eight is tropical-continental â€" a trouble-maker for flying. It appears over northern Mexico and the south- western tier of American state.s. It is hot and too drj- for rain or clouds but its "instability" fills flying air with "bumps." Women Make Up 55 p.c.
