NEWSPAPERS- THEY ADMIT “Our Company can advertise their pro ducts nationally until it is blue in the face, but it cannot produce results for the local dealer unless he advises pros pective customers where the machines can be bought in his particular terri tory.” This is an extract from a letter being sent oufc by a large manufacturer, who believes he is a national advertiser. He is’spending thousands of dollars for ad vertising and yet he.admits that if the dealers do not in turn use their home newspapers it is lost money. The lesson is obvious. THE DAILY NEWSPAPER IS THE DI RECT -ROUTE FROM PRODUCTION TO SALE. ; No' advertising campaign—national or local, cah succeed without the newspapers. What a Shame to Take Their Money It was sometime between’bedtime and when the chapel bell rang for the morning class that a very bold burglar entered the room of two stu dents living near the campus on Jack- son street and ransacked everything in the room. Their pockets, fat from tho cheeks of the first, were turned wrong side outftards, and )n fact everything in the room was gone through. All that he left of value wa* two students, a janitor and a sophomore, and even they were worth far less after his visit. The' burglar was thorough in his work, yet to these of detective tem- R ent there seeme to be a clue. i not take the key to the door for he knew it would be the first of next month before n second visit would be profitable, and-to,further show that he was very familiar with the university he entered the room of a football player for he knew he would have nothing to far there. CHAPEL TONIGHT There will be a large mass meeting in the chapel tonight in anticipation ef the Georgia-Tech battle in Atlanta next Saturday.

However, Georgia i* deter mined to fight to the finish and the score will probably be much closer than many suspect. All students are urged to be on hand promptly at 8 o’clock tonight and the plans for thty Atlanta invasion will be laid. Tho meeting is. sure to be the best of tho sason as the Tech mass meeting always is.

WANT GIVI SERVICE SYSTEM . —* Committee Appointed at PreHu inary Meeting Last Night to Investigate Matter and to Re port Back to December Meet ing—Alderman Gordon Brings Matter to Attention of Coun cil and Urges Change- The mater of civil service for the different departments o' the city was brought to the attention of mayor and council in their preliminary meeting last night by Alderman Hugh Gor don, and a motion passed that body whereby a committee was appointed to look into the matter and to give it immediate consideration and to view the plan from every phase before making their report back to council at their December regular meeting. Alderman Gordon, Hinton, and Dud- ley were appointed on the committee. Mr.,Gordon, in arguing in favor ef the change, stated that the time had now pased when political debts should be paid with city offices, and that some system should be installed whereby the fit will remain in office. He stated that every year the aider- man are approached by great num bers of person asking for positions on the city fire or police departments and that many of these persons could not even be considered for such posi tions. He stated that the new sys tem would not only save the council- men from embarrassments in such in stances but would insure the best men for the positions. The committee will look into the matter of what kind of an exami nation or test will be used, which of course will be practicable throughout, and will also investigate' the matter and sec whether or not it will call for a change in tho city charter. - The merit-system is now used in all cities of any size and the efficiency of the various departments in which if is used has been materially increased. It is a change that has long; bei needed and should be in force bafoi the. next aldermanic election.
