April 29. —All Presbyterians are urged to make wills leaving at least one-tenth of their possesions to the church, in the report of the stewardship department to be made to the seventieth General Assem- bly of the Southern Presbyterian Church beginning here May 22. Four ways of leaving money to the Presbyterian Foundation and through it to the church's work are outlined in the report, signed by the Rev. R. C. Long, secretary of stewardship, of Atlanta—by direct gifts, the life annuity plan, life insurance or through provision in the will of the donor. Seven coll have co-operated in presenting the Foundation's through advertisements in the church press, Arkansas, Centre, Davidson, Davis and Elkins, Hampden-Sydney, Southwestern and Westminster, says the report, and this plan is commended to all commit- tees, colleges and other institutions and ; agencies. Reviewing the program of steward- ship during the last year the report says there are now stewardship secre- tarles in 2,400 congregations, and that more than 40,000 copies of leaflets com- bining the study of stewardship and the home misison and foreign mission text- books have been sent to church leaders. i FRAUDULENT ADS ARE UNDER ATTACK Federal Trade Group Saves Public $50,000,000, Re- port States. In less than a year of operation of its special board of investigation, the Fed- eral Trade Commission has commenced 00 | proceedings against more than 400 fraudulent advertisers and the pub- lishers and advertising agencies who |bandle the advertisers copy, and through these proceedings has saved the gen- |eral public an estimated sum of up- ward of $50,000,000. it is announced. It is estimated that fraudulent ad- vertising robs the public of more than $500,000,000 a year, the commission re- ports, with alleged “‘cure-alls,’ devices for therapeutic treatment, drug and toilet preparations,” leading the list. At least 75 per cent of the commission’s advertising pertain to these items, it is stated, In the prosecution of its cases the commission joins the advertising agency and the publisher involved. The report states: “The total amount of newspaper space devoted to advertise- ment of medical products and toilet articles in 1929, according to a survey conducted by the Bureau of the Census in 50 representative cities, was 81,146,- 000 lines, which was only exceeded by the volume given over to passenger automobiles, 81,415,000 lines, and to financial advertising, 88,073,000 lines.” The great volume of advertising in this country is illustrated, the report shows, by the Survey of Current Busi- ness for January, 1930, issued by the Department of Commerce, which shows the following expenditures for national ?g;;nmng during the calendar year In general magaszines, $203,776,077; i3 e, WSS $231,620.270. g, $16,760,851; totaling —_— a nef Unes from the city to ’wor Wy ST Rid-O-Bug, the Pyrethrum Spray PLANTABBS CORPORATION 2222 Court Square Building Baltimore, Md.

While the bridge is to be officially opened Thurs- day, it was decided to defer the celebra- tion to a later date, possibly May, when the garden demonstrations will be be- gun. Grover W. Ayers of the West End Citizens’ Association pledged the co- operation of his association in the demonstration and the committee on arrangements was directed to work with & committee from the West End Asso- ciation.

Hyde, jr., secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, outlined the work of Army engineers in determining the feasibility of George Washington's plans for the improvement of the up- per Potomac River.
