GLIDDEN PUT AT HEAD OF PUBLICITY FOR U.S. AIRSERVICE Souther Field Officer’s Territory to Embrace Entire Nation—To Boost Recruiting SOUTHER FIELD, April 22.—Word has been received here that Capt. Chas. J. Glidden, who left here last has been made chief of publicity df the Air Service for the entire United States, with New York as his head quarters. • I . | Captain Glidden, who was personnel adjutant at Souther Field for several months, is probably the best qualified man in America for the place to which he has just been appointed. He came here shortly after the signing of the armistice, for the purpose of passing upon the qualifications of men desir ing to remain in the service, but this task was soon completed. Having devoted the most of his long and active life to promotion work, he took up publicity work here in a lim ited way, first voluntarily supplying the Times-Recorder with a great supply of news and informattion on Souther Field and the air service in general, and later extending this pub licity to some 13 other daily news papers in Georgia. This work finally came to the at tention of headquarters in Washing ton, with the result that the order was issued transferrng him and en larging his publicity field to embrace the entire nation. It is understood and the air is planning to launch at an early date an intensive recruiting campaign to secure nearly 20,000 men, and it is believed here that the secur ing of these recruits will be Captain Glidden’s chief task. For several months before the war ended he had charge of publicity first in New Etag land and then from Omaha, and he succeeded at both places in securing more men for the air service than could be used at the time. Made the Long Distance. Captain Glidden' is a remarkable man, Although 62 yaers of age, he looks not a day past 45, and is a man of great energy, resourcefulness and ability. He made the long distance telephone, built the frst one and de veloped its use through advertising many years ago while president of the New England Bell Telephone Com pany. Later he was president of the Bell Telephone Company in Texas, where he did pioneering work in telephone development. Still later he became a balloon en thusiast, and has a record of having made three flights from Paris, two from London, two from Hull, Eng land, and 42 in the United States. When the automobile came along he saw its possibilities, and again led traveling by auto in every civilized country of the world. He was the first promoter of automobile relia bility tours, originating the famous Glidden tours which were annual events in America for a number of years until the war and has offered the Glidden trophy this year for a permanent possession to the winner of a transcontinental run, from New York to San Fra®isco. Here is a brief extract, from an ad dress made by Captain Glidden be showing his knowledge of advertising, and revealing why the government has placed him in charge of its publi city, now that it wants 20,000 re cruits for the air service: The Basis of Success. “The work of your Association is conveyed in one word, ‘Advertising the basis of success. It builds up a business or enterprise, and keeps it going, and the more successfu, the more one should advertise; never al low the steam to go down. “I was born and lived 16 years in an advertising community, and when I name the goods advertised you will know the city—" Ayers Sarsaparilla” Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and other patent medicines. “Personally, when we wanted! to float a big bond issue to extend the telephone business in which I was interested we advertised. When we wanted to build up the telephone busi ness we advertised. In the early days when the long distance system was first opened. I had all the news papers throughout the territory un der my management publish the fol lowing advertisement on the first Reconstruction Work At Home IgSggMl I tSMKSKB, MS JBIw?

Suffrage is Killed in Florida House i TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 22—(By Associated Press.) —The Florida house today voted to kill the senate resolu tion to submit a woman suffrage amendment to the constitution before the next general election. The bill will be called for reconsideration with in 24 hours. page: “Use the long distance tele phone.’’ “This was the foundation for the building up of the extensive long dis tance service. . In a short time we had to double our facilities, and you know the enormous long distance telephone business that is daily trans acted throughout the United States and Canada. U. 8. Found it Necessary. “The government was rather slow to advertise at the beginning of the war, but later found it an absolute necessity, and the work, of the press in putting before the people the bond issues and other matters is highly commendable. “While in Boston representing the War Department, the papers of New- England, over 1100, carried locals handed them setting forth the advan tages and requirements of the Air Ser vice. resulting in New England se curing within a short . time four times its quota in aviators and balloon pilots. “In Omaha I sent out similar ma terial in behal sos the balloon division which was carried in 6,000 pewspa pers in various sections of the coun try, with results that in February last all the balloon pilots required up to that time had been obtained. “Articles on my eight years' tour of the world with the automobile, purely a tour for pleasure, were pub lished in every language throughout the world, and the head of a large New York newspaper said that the publicity could not have been obtain ed, if at all, for less than a million dollars, at advertising rates. “On this basis, what would have been the cost of advertising the great bond issues had they been apid for at line rates. "The value of advertising is unlimit ed,” ERIC THETIMESBRECORDER PUBLISHED IN THE HEART OF DIXIE U. S.

April 22.—Miss Mar garet Carnegie, daughter of Andrew Carnegie, and Ensign Roswell Miller, U. S. N. R., were married here to day. Ensign Miller is the son of the late Roswell Miller, chairman of the Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. He is 24 years old. Miss Carnegie is 22, and the only child of the former steel manufacturer. Years ago Andrew Carnegie was alking with his friend, Roswell Miller, president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Railway. “Ros Miller,” the ironmaster s-aid, “if ever I have a daughter she’ll learn something worth while ffiout raising babies, cooking, sweeping and mak ing beds —she’ll be no Uressed-up doll!” “And if ever I have a boy, Andy, he’ll learn to work with his hands, just like us,” said Roswell Millet. “Yes. and I hope, Ros, they’ll marry each other — Anl .uro enough the is just what has hai pined. The br de is the richest heiress in the world, but there s n-> doubt that on the death of father she will be one of the richest women in the world. She will, however, inherit but a small portion of the tremendous wealth that her father accumulated and then gave away, in Twentieth Century Philanthropy that has had no counterpart in the history of the world. This daughter, who is to be heiress to the Carnegie millions is a quiet unostentatious miss, of whom the world has heard little and seen less. The world knew Andrew had a daughter, but knew little of her ex cept that she avoided display and pub licity, lived a quiet, normal American girl life among her immediate school associates and was patterned much after the way of her father, in the desire to distribute the family wealth among worthy enterprises. , “A true love watch,” said the close friends of Miss Carnegie and Ensign Miller, when they heard recently of the engagement. A year or so ago they met in New York, just as young folks meet in public functions or pri vate social affairs. Novelists would have the rich heiress rescued by a gallant hero, but there appears to have been nothing of the spectacular or melodramatic in the romance of this young pair. It yvas just an old fashioned American love romance. Not long ago Miller was graduated from Columbia university. When the war broke out he was in charge of his father’s interests, with an office on lower Broadway, where he was learn to play the great American game of business and finance. Soon after the declaration of war he went to France and served for a time as an ambulance driver, but returned to this country after the United States went into the conflict, and by hard work succeeded in winning a commission in the navy and attached to Squadron 2 of the sub marine division. In Pittsburg, where his father started in life as a bobbin boy in a mill where he worked for twenty cents a day Miss Carnegie was early known for her charities. At 12 years of age, it is related, she began to interest herself in behalf of many worthy af fairs. It was said to have been mainly through her influence that many social movements, including the Kingsley Settlement House, various hospitals, etc., were underwritten by the steel king. 5 Officers Die When Big Plane Crashes 4k ANDOVER, England, April 22.—(8y Associated Press.)—Five members of the crew of a big Handley-Page air plane were burned to death when the machine crashed to earth at Ney hill, near here, today.
