John Wunnamaker, department
store owner, had about as fine a
knowledge of the science of merchandising
as any man who ever figured
tn American commercial life, relates
the Memphis Market Master. He
started with nothing and he died
worth $60,000,000. lie made his
money as p merchant.
Ha was one of the heaviest buyers
of advertising of his time and his
ideas of what advertising is worth
ought to carry weight. Likewise his
ideas of merchandising tactics. He
advertised more heavily in times of
depression than when business was
good.
"When business is good, he is reported
to have said, "anybody can sell
goods. You don't need as much advertising
then. We advertise most
heavily when business is poor and
trade needs extra stimulation. Be
cause the poorest policy in the world
for a merchant?or anyone who ims
anything to sell?is to quit advertising."
Twftftty^five yoars ago, Pyle's fearline,
Soapine, St. Jacob's Oil, Hood's
Sarsaparilla, Sozodent and Sunny Jim
were household words from orte end
of the country to the other. Bach was
an puljjtiAnding..j)rtlcle of its kind,,
used and valued by millions of people.
The quality remained the same, bqt
the firms making these articles got
to the point where they thought they
didn't have to ndyertise and now
these brand names once worth mil'
(Vv
lions of dollars through sheer good
will, are not worth anything.
The ptoblic forgets easily. Who
ran for .president against Roosevelt ?
Who wa? Wilson's opponent in 1916?
Who ran against Goolidge? During
the campaign in question, when these
candidates' names were in the paper
every day, every man, woman and
child knew. But nine-tenths of them
have forgotten long before this.
His Lmt Bui
The inspiration tor Vox Fontaine's
"Toonerrille Trolley" cartoons, a trolley
conductor of East Orange, N. J.,
t, tt*4. .Malty a daily paper reader
wfi?i has mused and smiled over the
incidents of the trips of the "Toonervilla
Trolley," as vividly and artfully
s^t up by ^Cartoonist Fontaine, will
breathe a sifh of genuine regret.
Theenan'i name was George A. Imes.
A dispatch says of him: "Mothers
entrusted their children and housewives
their marketing to him. Ho
wouldn't stdrt his car until all
regular commuters were aboard; he
escorted inebriates home und directed
strangers. When the motor bus put
his line out of commission, a job
was waiting for him in the Public
Service terminal in Newark. Imes
was here to help the world along?>
Hundreds knew and loved him."?

How to"Cbeck the Tragedies? r
True explanations of the next 100'
head-on Collisions between autonpi-(
biles occurring in South Carolina
would be interesting. They would
also be illuminating to those capable
of seeing light.
j. the highways there are these
explanations: Car attempting to pass
another car on a curve and meeting
one comltif in the opposite direction,
when there is neither time nor space
in which to avoid collision; car passing
another on brow of hill and meeting'another
coming up and over the
hill front the other side. The offender
in these cases is not careless.
He is reckless and criminally reckless,
for he is needlessly putting the
lives of others in jeopardy. The third
possible cause of head-on collision is
driving so fast that the driver", even
when sober, loses control.- Intoxication
must be responsible for all other
head-on collisions on the highways.
In the cities, where there is room
in the streets, cutting corners, on
the wrong side of the road and especially
at speed, or by "drunks"
wabbling in front of other cars, are
the main traffic violations resulting
in that kind of collision.
The observer will see just as much
corner-cutting the day following bhe
report of tragedy for which that
sort of driving was responsible as he
would |N the day before. How than
are conditions to be cured? We do
not KlNOW, but there it juwt one
reasonable hope. Fhrst, promulgate,
officially, the rule# of the frond'for
highways and in towns, and then set
.officers to apprehend the'violators.
Don't wait fat accidents. Fine them
five dollars for comer-cutting 'the
first week, ten thfe second, fifteen
the third and twenty the fourth, and
by the end of the month dven the
boys' and girls who drive will know
there is. danger in recklessness. When
parents have to pay fines they will
see that the youths know and obey
the rules?or walk. Likewise if 50b
persons are fined two dollars each
for running over the "stop" sif<n in
Columbia in one week, and 250 are
fined five dollars each the next week
the driving public will curov to know
that the gtop sign is a police order;
that it is there to be obeyed, and
ndt for the driver of the car to decfde
whether he or she will obey. ?t
iwr not.
ul* Substantial und even heavy fines
should be imposed on those passing
others on curves and ftt the top of
hills. Such people are a terrible
menace to others who are using the
roads, properly. But they will not
heed that risk. . They will take a
chance of a collision sooner than a
chance on a $80 fine. If highway
patrolmen get bhe proper support
from magistrates, and force a substantial
reduction in these major violations
they will justify themselves
ten-fold and satfe many lives.
Intoxicated drivers, like crooked
jockeys, should be barred for all time
?or at least until they can establish
proof of their reform.?The State.
General News Notes
The Augusta, Ga., father of Otis
Johnson, who died of sunstroke last
week on the chain gang of Greenwood
county has written a dramatic and
strong protest to The Augusta Chronicle
against what he calls the barbaric
system of punishment for crime
in South Carolina. His son was one
of several boys who stole an automobile
in Greenwood when they got
homesick, and the father says that
was only a boyish prank. Op the
chain gang, the father says, the boy
wore chains and after all day on the
roads was set to cleaning up the
camp, although he had complained to
a guard that he was not strong
enough to stand the work. He was
18 years old and was sentenced by
Judge Mann to two and a half jyeafrs
for stealing the automobile. - His
father thinks the offense a smajl one
and the .sentence and punishment too
much. '

consul at Chicago, was sentenced this

grand jury was her 8-year-old son.
Acklen's body was found in a bedroom
of the Moseley home a few
days before he was to go on trial

motive for killing Acklen i> said to
have been jealousy because of his
