Tell The World AImW Camden
Camden can well affoW to follow
^ the example of other progressive
cities, Thi.- town has many achievements
to her. ire-lit hut sometimes it
seems that we do not tell the world
enough about them.
' Are we hiding our lights under a
bushel?" Are we failing to proclaim
?<ur achievements and our advantages
to the world?
Look around you. See Camden's
churches and splendid schools, ami
magnif,<-ent tourist hotels, her mode!
facto/ ie.i, her public improvements,
her hcau'iful homes, the peace and
prosperity which prevails here.
Have you t-rld the outside world
' about thi-ne things? .Just in proportion
a.-, we do this, others will want
to come here, arid will this town
flourish and prosper.
No letter should ever go out of
Camden without some good word
about our city. N'o visitor shou'd
ever depart without feeling that he
or she is leaving a really good and
hospitable town.
It's a job for us -our newspapers,
our merchants, our professional men,
and unrh of us to let others know the
good points about Camden. Boosting
built Atlanta, it is said. If we will I
do this long en >ugh and persistently,
Camden will be known throughout the
length and breadth of this land. It ,
is worth the effort. ?B.C.S.

THIS WEEK
By Arthur Brisbane
tmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrnmmmmm
Mr. Hrixbane'a editorials are published
as expressions of opinions
of the world's highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle does not
necessarily endorse all of his
views and conclusions.
It has been suggested here occasionally
during- several years past
that a solution of the flying problem
would eventually include wireless
transmission of power. What men
can imagine, they can do when imagination
runs on sane lines.
Electric waves are power and can
he sent without wires. It is not too
much to hope that power generated
at one place on.lhe earth will be sent
without, wires to another place, or
sent to machines flying in ]the air.
Latest, most important news is
that Marconi, speaking cautiously as
usual, suggests the possibilities 01
power transmission without wires as
a scientific possibility, not a mere
hope. There could be no greater practical
scientific achievement.
Reports from our big business
proves that it really is big. No wonder
Europe envies us. While doubting
Thomases ask, "What do you
think of the business outlook?" reports
of great companies answer the
question.
In the first nine months of this
year General Motors earned more
than $14^,000,000, and the big United
States Steel Company more tha-n
$145,000,000.
It is interesting to see one of the
automobile organizations making bigger
profits than United States Steel,
biggest industrial organization in the
world.
In nine months. United States Steel
earned more than $13 a share on five
hundred millions of common stock.
That was once called "thin air," it
wasn't even "water." Now, with
earnings "put back" it represents no j
one knows how much real wealth.
i he important thing, according to
Stalin, Russian boss, is for Russia to!
. ttet control of "reactionary labor;
unions." He means especially the
American Federation of Labor.
American capitalists should realize!
that the American Federation of Lab-!
or is a great bulwark of conservatism, I
and not try lg push it in the direction j
of Bolshevism by any gloating overj
the fact that organized labor power)
is net what it once was.
Chicago attacks one big problem in
a big way, building the "lurgest, best
jail in the world." The cost, with a
court house in front to help fill the
jail, will be seven and a half millions.
Room for fourteen criminal courts
will be built with high ceilings, and
back of the court the big jail for the
modern '-rime army.
In view of jail breaking and the tin-!
usuul energy of criminals, wouldn'fri
it be a good idea to let jailers wear
gas masks, and install in corridors
and in the main office valves that^
when opened, would flood the jail with
some convincing gas of the mustard
type? Nothing to kill or permanently
injure the convicts, of course, but
strong enough to take their minds off
any jail breaking plan.
Forty odd years ago, Edison, now
eighty-four, was personally superintending
the installation of a small
electric lighting plant in "Harry
Hill's" on Houston street, New York,
where John L. Sullivan used to box.
He probably did not think that he
would live to see electric light and
power develop into a business of seven
thousand five hundred millions of dollars.
And that is only the beginning.
Insull in Chicago, Williams in New
York, and the great electric companies
on the Pacific coast -are constructing
power plants of hundreds
of thousands of horsepower.
Ail the goblins in the world seemed
to bo let loose when talk came of
gigantic tariff reductions, and" Wall'
street beat its breast.
But President Coolidge and Secre-,
tar j* Mellon let it be known that they i
will do all they can to co-operate in (
tariff reduction, but not American !
tariff reduction.
For the third time the football team;
of the University of Alabama has
been awarded the Champ Pickens
trophy by sports writers of the Sou?h
as the outstanding^team of the sea-]
son. Under the\rulea of the award

The culinary force of a Chicago
hotel was obliged to use 1,100 pound*,
of eggs and mushrooms in making an
omelet for a party of vegetarians.
In Korea women are taught that
the greatest feminine virtues are silence,
