Here is some- thing that actually happened. That is, here is how one merchant put his out-of-town competitor on the run. It happened in a country town Ii ©Ohio. TTWo carloads of goods—staple necessitles of life—were standing on the side track. They had been ship- ped in from Dayton to fill a demand, supplied by an outside salesman who had happened to be in town with the proper bunco to “get away with the orders,”—and that, too, at prices a shade higher (plus the freight) than the local merchants’ quotations on the same articles delivered at the customer’s door. This struck me as rather amazing and I thereupon in- vestigated the cause of the unfortu- nate situation. Dropping into the leading grocery store of town, I inquired why, they didn’t stop this intrusion into their trade.” “How are you going to stop it,” growled the ‘boss.” Advertise!” I retorted. “Advertise?” replied the grocer, “why, I'm one of the best customers our local paper has. I think I've had something in every week for nigh on twenty years, but I don’t see as I realize any differ- ence. My name is known anywhere within trading distance of here any- how.” Then I lit into him, “Now my friend, that is just it, Your name is known well enough. But how about your goods? You know there is advertising and then there is ad- vertising. One kind spreads your name all over everything auntil your .goods are hidden behind your name.

Practical Fashion Hints By Alice Gibson It i3 quite as important that the lit- tle maid’s frock show a touch of in- dividuality as it is for her grownup sister’s. Whereas the designs for chil- dren are unusually simple this season, it is not difficult to add such a touch. In No. 8026 we have a straight lined little frock showing a long waisted blouse, and a skirt attached to a sep- arate, sleeveless under waist. The sleeve is set into a.normal shoulder. There is a small round collar and a low hung stitched belt. The skirt, which is a two-piece model, is rendered very effective by the side seams, which are cut to give a narrow slash on both sides. This design is suitable for any of the wash materials: for the present moment, dark Dblue serge would be pleasing. with collar, belt and trim- ming bands of silk plaid. It is quite necessary that a dark frock show a touch of vi color, especially at this time of the year. To copy this dress in size 12 it re- quires 27 rds of 36 inch material. The pattern is cut in four sizes, 8 to 14. This Is a Perfect Pattern. Be sure to get right size, passing the } tape around the fullest part of the breagt well up under the arms.

A HOPEFUL MOVEMENT. To - me " city planning is the most hopeful of all municipal movements — first, because it means a visualization of the city as ‘a possible agency of great good to mankind. . Heretofore we hdve looked upon it as an evil, as a behemoth. - Now we are beginning to realize that it contains great possibilities of good; that poverty can be mini- mized: that the houses people live in can be controlled; that the city of tomorrow need not be what the city of today is—a men- ace to our civilization. Over a hundred cities in this country have already undertaken ambitious town planning proj- ects. Each week adds new cities to the list. - Experts are being employed; the. architect, the lundscape artist and the engineer are being called in for the solu- tion of these problems. Amer- ica awoke to this problem later than did Germany, France or England, but with our unbound- ed resources, with our fertile imaginations, 1 believe that in another generation the American city will outstrip even the cities of Germany in its municipal achievements. For it must be remembered that the American city is on a democratic basi It is acquiring freedom to act under home rule legislation, and whatever the failures of democ racy may have been in the past. I have faith to believé in the evidence aiready before us that democracy, will solve the prob- lems which now confront it more effectively than have even the most advanced nations of the old world.—Dr. F.
