THE COVINGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1912.
LIGHT TO LEAD WAT
Signs May Be Used to Lure
Crowds From Broadway.
Dr. William C. Covert of Presbyterian
Church In New York City Tells of
Modern Advertising Methods
and Urges Their Adoption.
New York.—Electric signs on Broad¬
way with the legend: "Why not go to
church?” may compete with similar
signs advertising beverages, hosiery
and breakfast foods, in New York,
April 19-24, if some of the publicity
plans for the conservation congress of
the Men and Religion Forward Move¬
ment succeed. The plan to use mod¬
ern publicity methods for church pur¬
poses has been considered for some
time by leaders in the movement.
“We want to examine concise, dig¬
nified phrases which might be used for
advertising purposes of the congress
in this way,” said Dr. William C. Co¬
vert, pastor of the Forty-first Street
Presbyterian church, the other day in
Chicago, in discussing the plans.
"We already have offered a prize of
$50 for the best article of 250 words
on the significance of the congress,
and we are ready to institute a com¬
petition to secure good advertising
ideas. This is an experiment and it
jWill Men and contribute Religion to Forward the success Movement, of the
I believe. The advertising can be force¬
ful, and at the same time maintain
dignity.”
The committee on Christian pub¬
licity, which held a meeting in Chica¬
go recently, and of which Doctor Co¬
vert Is a member, is preparing its re¬
port on the methods of publicity nec¬
essary for the churches. The report
will be 35,000 words long and will be
submitted to the New York congress.
To carry out its aims the committee
has submitted a series of interroga¬
tories to editors of newspapers and
magazines.
Speakers at the congress in New
York next month will include Presi¬
dent Taft, Ambassador James Bryce
and J. A. McDonald, Toronto editor,
who will address the meeting interna¬
tional night; William J. Bryan and
William T. Ellis, who will speak on
America’s foreign influence; Archdea¬
con Madden of Liverpool, Bishop
Greer, Bishop William McDowell,
Booker T. Washington, Robert E.
Speer, Fred B. Smith, John R. Mott
and J. Campbell White.
In Chicago the Oakland group of
churches, comprising congregations in
the vicinity of Oakw^ood boulevard,
have organized to carry out the pro¬
gram of the Men and Religion For¬
ward Movement. The canvassing is
being carried actively forward in the
Woodlawn district.
Considerable interest in the mission¬
ary program was shown at the meet¬
ing at the City club, of the central di¬
vision committee of the Laymen’s Mis¬
sionary movement, which is carrying
out the missioriary plans fbr the Men
and Religion Forward Movement. The
; Chicago committee reported that the
city had been divided into 12 districts
for the eight-day campaign. Two mis¬
sionary institutes will be held each
evening during the days of the cam¬
paign, April 8 to 14. It is planned to
have one speaker at each of these in¬
stitutes “to impart a missionary
vision,” and another speaker on meth¬
ods. Names of those to be in charge
have not been made public.
“FEED BEANS TO CHILDREN”
_
Boston Physician Also Thinks Cor¬
poral Punishment Good
If Necessary.
Boston, Mass.—“Feed the children
Boston baked beans if they like them.”
"Administer corporal punishment if
necessary.”
"Let them go barefoot."
These are some of the suggestions
given by Dr. Charles Putnam to
mothers through an address at the
Harvard Medical school.
“Baked beans will not hurt a child,
providing they have been properly
baked and the child has a real liking
for them. They are very nutritious,
wholesome and appetizing,” said the
speaker.
“Corporal punishment Is the only
thing that will successfully curb cer¬
tain traits in the young child, and I
advise it in cases where nothing else
will accomplish the same purpose.
“All children should go barefoot
when young. Don’t tie them up in re¬
stricting, uncomfortable clothing.”
BULLET IN HEAD TWO YEARS
Boy Kept Accident a Secret Through
Fear of Father’s
Anger.
Carmel, N. J.—Afraid his father
would be angry, fifteen-year-old Ernest
Moore carried a bullet imbedded in
the bone between his eyebrows for
two years without revealing the truth.
He admitted it the other day after
an attack of insomnia had made it
necessary to call a physician. The
bullet will be extracted, probably with¬
out serious danger to the lad.
Ernest had been shot accidentally
by a boy friend. Reaching home, he
told his parents he had fallen on a
spike. A superficial examination of
the wound seemed to bear out his
story.
Youth Loses Suit.
New York.—Supreme Justice Clark
refused to grant damages to a youth
who became so scared he fell out of a
cherry tree and injured himself when
* neighbor fired a shotgun at a cat.

STRAWS SHOWING THE WINDS
AS EXPRESSED JUST EEFORE
THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN.
Atlanta, Ga.—As an evidence of the
unanimity with which Georgians are
supporting Oscar Underwood for pres
ident, Manager Hutchens gave out at
headquarters four incidents, which he
declares are significant,
“The Democratic executive commit¬
tee of Worth county met the other
day to determine on plans for the
presidential primary. A vote was ta¬
ken and it was found that the com¬
mittee stood 29 for Underwood and 1
for Wilson. This report was sent to
me from three different sources.
“During the primary held on the
27th in Pike county, those who voted
in the second district were asked to
write down their preference for pres¬
ident and when the vote was count¬
ed it was found that it was Under¬
wood 72, Wilson 4, Clark 1. This in¬
formation comes from the justice of
the peace who presided at the elec¬
tion.
“In Waynesboro recently there
was held a mass meeting of citizens
to select a new Democratic executive
committee. After the new commit¬
tee was chosen, the mass meeting en¬
dorsed Mr. Underwood without a dis¬
senting vote.
“The organizers of the Underwood
club at Wellston in Houston county,
report that there are 106 voters in
the district and that 103 have signed
their names in the Underwood club.
“We haven’t given up hope of get
ting the other three,” the county
adds.
His Hero Game Was a Failure.
Blackfoot, Idaho.—Running breath¬
lessly into the station, Louis West,
formerly a brakeman on the Oregon
Short Line railroad, said that some
one in the yards had been tampering
with a switch, which he threw just in
time to save a passenger train from
wreck. On close questioning West
admitted that he had thrown the
switch in order to have the honor of
saving the train.
Were Shocked by Dance.
Pittsburg, Pa.—Shocked by an illus¬
tration of the “Grizzly Bear” dance,
Judges Reid and Haymaker refused to
