Minneapolis, Mluu. ?- Fourteen, reasons were pointed out by Pro-1 | feasor Thomas F. Burnhuri of the I University of Minnesota to show why I newspapers continued as "tops" in ! advertising media during 1930. I?Newspaper reading is u universal habit. Newspaper advertising, therefore, reached virtually all who read und t?uy. 2 A newspaper advertisement can al way She seen by t lie reader. ?-~-Th? newspaper advertisement; as part of the complete paper, goes into tlie home as a welcome guest. 4?The newspaper * advertisement can have us much reader Interest and news value us the news Item. 6?The amount of text uBed In newspaper advertisements is dependent only upon the size Qf space. 6?Newspaper udvertiHing is ilexible. 7?Newspaper advertising is quickly controlled. 8?Newspaper advertising may be adjusted to different conditions. 9?Newspaper advertising enables manufacturers and dealers to state where their products may be bought. 10?Newspaper advertising is Inexpensive. Merchants have learned that it covers more families for less money than any other form of advertising. llit?Newspaper advertising results may be checked. 12?Newspaper circulation Is known and Is comparatively unaffected by daily cha,nge. 13?Nearly all of a newspaper's circulation is concentrated in its own market. 14?Newspaper advertising reduces i Belling costs because it entails no waste of circulation. This helps reduce costs for the consumer. "Newspaper advertising," says Professor Barnhart, "builds confidence and good will, attracts new customers increases sales, and stabilizes merchandies, methods and prices. Turkey has officially notified Greece that Turkish troops have entered the demilitarized zone at the Dardanelles. Jackson CHom Site fAr U. S. Treasury Building { It Ih bal<! that the architect of the Treasury building at Washington wlstied It to bo set amid grounds commensunito with it In dignity and beauty. Instead of plkclng It upon, the Capitol's busiest thoroughfare. The Story goes, however, says the Washing ton Star, that President Andrew .lackson, becoming Impatient at the long delayed choosing of a site, dually stuck his cane Into the ground one morning and said, "Build it hero!"

Among these are: Keys used before the Invention of combination locks; mutilated currency restored by Mrs. A.

Negroes Not Only Bl^ck or Dark-Skinned People Negroes are by no moans the only black or dark-skinned peoplej nor even the only bluck people ?of Afrlcn. The Nubians and Hottentots are darker than some of the negroes of the elevated plateaus of Central Afrlcn", says a writer In the Cleveland Plain Dealer. But taking the term In Its popular sense In this country, It may. he said that the negro race Ih as old ns his tory. Negroes were apparently unknown to the Creeks before the Seventh century B. C., hut they were known to the Egyptians at least 2"><ki B. C., and* are represented on Egyp tlan monuments of 1ftt)0 B. C.. with all the distinctive features of the true Guinea negroes of our own times. The Importation of slaves to the United States .was abolished by Constitutional provision In 1808. Slaves were smuggled Into this country In a few instances after that time, the last cases occurring shortly before the Civil war. Since then there has been a considerable migration of negroes to the United States from the West Indies. House of "Thousand Fears" A house is still standing at one corner of the marketplace at Rotterdam. Holland, which bears the Inscription. "The House of a Thousand I'Vnrs." The story Is told that in 107". when the Spaniards sacked the city, having gained admission by treachery, an order was issued not to allow a single man, woman or child to escape the general massacre. In this house, It Is said, 1,000 people took refuge, and to mislead the Spanish soldiers, the master took a kid, killed it, and smeared the floor with its blood. Then, throwing the furniture into confusion, the people hid themselves in the upper rooms, in the cellar, and in the garret. The soldiers entered, but concluding that' their comrades had done the work before them, passed on, and the people, "shivering with a thousand fears," at last made their escape. Vogitntion in Mountain* On ice-covered mountains It is im- _ possible for plants to grow, except on the moraines of the glaciers or on slopes that are free of snow for a brief period in summer. In northern Siberia plants are known to survive temperatures as low as 70 below zero. Green plants must expose their chlorophyll or green coloring matter to the light, ..hence most water plants grow near the surface. In the case of the large marine kelps anchored In deep water, their working bodies are floated up toward the light by nlr bladders. . Red Croat Building The national headquarters of the American Red 6ross hi Washington is^ the first In the architecturally related group of three buildings forming the complete Red Cross unit, built of white marble in Grecian style, and dedN cated in 1017. Adjoining headquarters is the memorial building dedicated to the heroic women of the World war, whose cornerstone was laid In 1028 by the late President Taft. The third building Is a white marble office building. Hay* Yon Soon Thla Oaaia? Dry as the season may be, an dnusual tree growing In Madagascar and Borneo always is prepnred to refresh thirsty travelers. It Is called the Traveler's Pftlm. From the trunk extend fan-like leaves, esch with a sheath ak Its base where water Is stored. By ptercing a leaf at ita base, therefore, passers-by may drttrtc from nature's own water fountain. The leaves also are used extensively in building native huts.
