In this belief the public pays its money to the advertiser, and often com- mits to him things more valuable than money.” About 75 per cent of this class of advertising, Mr. Humphrey said. “refers to physical ailments and deformities.” In the past six months, accord- ing to figures announced by Mr. Humphrey, publishers have rejected not less than $100,000,000 worth of questionable advertising. As a re- sult, he said, the public has been protected from not less than $150,000,000.” “The press in this matter has s rendered a great public service” Mr. Humphrey said: “I believe that within a year the advertising col- umns of publications will be prac- tically free of that class of ad- vertisements that are plainly false upon their face.” “Another class of advertising that has been condemned by the Fed- eral Trade Commission,” said Mr.| Humphrey, “is the publication of paid testimonials, unless the adver- tisement shows conspicuously on its face that the testimonial has been paid for. This is a far-reaching de- cision and will affect advertising along many lines. “It may be embarrassing to some’ statesmen to have it published that; their praise of certain smokes is inspired by a consideration. It may be disconcerting to certain so- ciety celebrities that their enthusi-| astic praise of certain cosmetics was for cash.” .- - An average of 175 crippled chil- dren are being treated at all times in the Oklahoma State Hospital.
