New York. —"The pen Is mightier than the sword," it* a gem of wiedom that crops up every now and then, but fades away unchallenged. Now we have Freddie Welsh, world’s light weight champion, who, as the late HIM Naughton wag wont to say, Is eager to prove that "the squash Is mightier than the steak." This Welsh party, he 1t understood, is a vegetarian, and when In train in'' for a battle adheres strictly to vegetarian principle# The Briton claims that he thrives better and fights better on bloodless viands.

Whether White rail muster suffi cient power behind his blows to even floor Welsh is very much doubted; so the best the Windy City exponent can derive • t of a point victory over W elsh Is a lotAif notoriety and posslb.y a twenty-round match later on.

As no official decision whs rendered, Ritchie dung to his title, while White enhanced hts drawing powers by many thousands. Signed for Mill It is said that White and Welsh have signed for two matches the one to bo worked out on Monday and for a derby route contest several months hen' e. If tills is so. Welsh Is merely taking the precaution of assuring himself of an other match with White in case t'harley outboxes him at Milwaukee Welsh Is somewhat dubious of his ability to stand off White for ten rounds, as the Chicagoan is a veritable whirlwind at the short distance. Welsh, however, entertains no doubt of his ability to smother White In twenty rounds, as Charley hns heen tried and found wanting at any distance over twelve rounds. Welsh pointed out to the writer the other day that while he Is always spoken *w>f as an English and AVelsh boxer, he learned the trade of the ring right here In these United States. The Waiting Game As Practiced By The Germans Many who read of the succession of disasters that have overtaken the Brit ish navy have undoubtedly made com* ptrlsons derogatory to British ability, and have failed to grasp the tactics that have heen adopted by Germany In the conduct of her naval affairs. This matter In brought out clearly In an aVtl* ole In the special war Issue of the Scien tific American In which the folowing statements are mude: That the Germans have accomplished so much with the mine and the sub marine doeh not mean that the British are not experts with these weapons. Germany, being on the defensive, with her ships closely blockaded In her own ports and waters and protected by mine fields, booms. cables, and neitlng, it follows that her ships, except for the few which occasionally venture out for a reconnaissance, are Inaccessible to the submarines and the floating mine. Brit ish submarines which have ventured Into tlw» mouths of the Elbe, the Weser and the Etna, have found the capital ships of the Germans absolutely protected agilnst submarine attack—and this is as It should be. Germany is holding her ships of the line for that future day (which she hopes may come) when the depredations of her submarines and the accidents of the sea shall have so far worn down the numerical superiority of the British fighting line, that she may venture out for a battleship engage ment with at least a fighting chance of success.

What Does Advertising Do —— Besides Stimulate Competition? “It creates new markets, new demands, new desires. It makes possible new products, * new ways of doing things, a better national life.” THE STORY In one of our large cities, a few years ago, fifty-one per cent of the stock of the local gas and electric company was acquired by a na tional public service organization. The way the new management went about its job sent thrills of apprehension through the minority stockholders, who were local citizens. The dividends paid the year before had amounted to $14,000. Immediately the new board cut the price of both gas and electricity. Figures showed that with the same consumption as the year before, the total dividends at the new rates would be only $4, 000 . But there lay the difference: the con sumption was not going to be the same. The company began a strong campaign of adver tising. To the local stockholders, this seemed ruinous folly. They reasoned, “Have we not a complete monopoly. We control exclusive franchises on both gas and electricity. Why in the world should we spend money to adver tise when we have ’em both coming and go ing.” NO COMPETITION. If ever a case existed where advertising solely for competitive purposes would have been absolutely futile, this was it. The com pany certainly had the city both coming and going. But the answer was, “We are not go ing to spend money in advertising. We are going to invest money in advertising.” Half pages began to appear in the news papers. In the course of a year the gas and electric company used more space than any of the department Stores, which, of course, had been up to that time the heaviest advertisers in the city. Cooking schools to show women the mer its of the gas range were installed—and ad vertised. Men who had never thought of the saving of labor and expense possible by using small electric motors in their shops found out —through advertising. Local merchants were shown the increased trade that they could get by having their stores better lighted. Electric signs were popularized. WHAT HAPPENED? The first year the advertising sold seven car loads of gas stoves. It sold coke at a fair price, instead of at a loss as before. It sold gas heaters, irons, fixtures and novelties. It put in 124 new electric motors for small power users. It put up electric signs and ornamental lighting effects. In these ways, as well as through tho stimulation of ordinary consumption, it very greatly increase.l the use of gas and electric current. At the end of the year the total dividends, which estimates had said were going down to $4,000, were $44,000. At the end ot the second year of the same policy the aggregate dividends were $76,000. And this with all bills for advertising paid. And with the public buying its gas and electricity far cheaper than it ever had before. Rut apart from better dividends and lower price to the consumer, what did the advertising do fir that city? WHAT WAS THE EFFECT? It gave the city better lighted store< and struts. It put labor saving devices into hundreds of homes. It cut the cost of operation for scores of small manu facturers. It showed people how to get and use things that made their lives cleaner and easier. It made, in short, a more comfortable, more alert r.nd prosperous eommuuitv. What local advertising did in that city, national advertising is doing all the time for the nation. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17.
