Aspects Of Advertising
(An editorial from the Rotarian Magazine)
Two men sper t an afternoon together at. golf. They were
hot very well acqu tinted, and at the clubhouse afterward one
I to the other, ‘ By,the way, what is your line of business?”
‘‘I am a minister,” was the reply.
The other in ; ;reat confusion apologized to the cloth for
he shocking profanity he had used on the course.
“Never mind.” twinkled the minister, “I'd probably swear,
too, if I played as badly as you do.”
That story—i;’s common property—may come to the
Hinds of "readers interested in the trends and problems of ad-
vertising. Perhaps some will draw an analogy between' the
er who compe isates for his lame game by bad language,
the advertise ■ who tries to conceal his lack of anything
> say^Qi^is proc uct, by much irrelevant talk about glamour
and. sex appeal.
His type exist», certainly, but there is evidence that he is
not the whole pic .ure, perhaps not much more than a rough
edge of it. An aspect of advertising to which the laity has giv-
en little attention is that in which the “adman” has set up
checks upon his own behavior.
Back in 1911, counsel for Printer’s Ink, a leading adver-
tising magazine in the United States, drew up a statute which
would make false advertising a misdemeanor. Most of the 48
states have since adopted The Printer’s Ink Model Statute as
ten or with slight modification.
You’ve heard the slogan “Truth in Advertising”? It came
t of the 1912 convention of the Associated Advertising
bs of the Worlt (now known as the International Advertis-
Association). And from the same theeting came the Na-
tional Better Bus: ness Commission, whose purpose is to for-
ward higher stant ards of honesty and reliability in advertis-
ing. Every Targe city and many a smaller one in the United
BteftfcS'Tiow has a Better Business Bureau—of whose services
the Tender probat >ly needs no description.
Defended of modern advertising could say much of the
The following interesting items!

Albert. F. Lienhardt has bought
of Mrs. E. T Schleicher, C. C. How- j
erton engineering the trade, the;
property adjoining his pretty cot-

WASHINGTON, D. C —
Notwithstanding President Roose-
velt’s felicitous note to President
Robert M. Ortiz of Argentina upon
the occasion of the latter’s recent
Inauguration in Buenos Aires there
Is a good bit of wondering in
Washington’s governmental circles
concerning the progress which
Nazification or Fascistiflcation may
or may not be making in the so-
called republics south of the
Caribbean.
The flight of a fleet of Uncle
Sam’s bombing planes to the Ar-
gentine capital, to attend the Ortiz
Inaugural ceremonies, was a very
nice gesture. The president could
not have expressed himself more
gracefully than he did in his mes-
sage, which Commander Robert
Olds of the flying squadron took
«ith him, to the incoming presi-
dent.
All the same, when “F. D.’’ refers
to "two republics (Argentina and
the U. S. A.) nurtured with similar
ideals”?—well, in the circum-
stances, perhaps one justifiably
may ask, "Are their ideals still sim-
ilar?”
e • •
ATTITUDE PRAISED
This is not in the least to find
fault with the Rooseveltian atti-
tude toward the Latin Americans.
The president and Secretary of
State Hull have pursued exactly
the right course to popularize the
United State* with our southern
brethren. They not only have taken
a friendly tone in all conversations
with them; they have been quite
elaborately polite. And there is no
nourishment that the Latin Amer-
ican likes better than an almost ex-
cess of politeness in dealing with
him. He nearly prefers polite
crookedness to brusqueness, how-
ever, “cm the level”. We used to be
brusque. It got us disliked. The
Roosevelt administration has been
"cm the level” and exaggeratedly
polite likewise. All honor to that
sort of intelligence.
Nevertheless, is South America
becoming Nazifled or Fascistificat-
ed?
It Is a pertinent question, In view
of the facts that Germany, Italy
and Japan have large populations
oo the southern continent, that
each group remains very close to

PS WHAT ATAGffiO!
ms p STF.WART tr> rpnort tnat Arrentina nas issued
to report tnat Argentina nas issued
an expulsion order against John W.
W’hite, chief South American cor-
respondent of the New York Times,
with headquarters in Buenos Aires.
The story was that John, an old
friend of mine and more than a 20-
year resident of South America
(initially in the consular service),
had referred to President Vargas
of Brazil as a dictator, that Vargas
had complained to Argentina, and
that the Argentine government had
agreed to deport him, as an unde-
sirable alien.
It seemed queer that Argentina
had been so resentful of a jab at
the Brazilian president
But that was not quite all of it

WHY HE WAS GAGGED
What White really said was that
no South American country, with
the single exception of Colombia,
tolsr&tes an honest election.
That of course, got Argentina’s
goat, equally with Brazil’s.
John was not actually "expulsed”.
He still is allowed to live in Argen-
tina. But he cannot file dispatches.

people who have

A successful
method of pre-
▼ anting foot
trouble of this
character is as
follows:
L Care of Feet
a. The feet
should be
soaked in a ba-
sin of warm,
soapy water for
five minutes every day.
b. They should be dried thor-
oughly with a Turkish towel. Be
careful to dry in between-the toes.
c. They should be massaged with
a little alcohol.
d. They should be massaged with
lanolin, especially the soles of the
feet where there are calluses, and
the heels. In this way the calluses
are softened and will eventually
rub off.
2. Foot Exercises i
a. Sitting on the edge of the bed,
point the toes upward and then
downward. Repeat this ten times.
b. Then make a complete circle
with the foot ten times.
c. Then raise both legs to an an-
gle of 45 degrees. As a support
for the legs, the patient may place
a chair upside down on the bed.
Leave them In this position for
three minutes.
d. Then let them hang down over
the side of the bed again for three
minutes.
e. Then plp.ee them flat on the
bed for three minutes. Cover with
blanket.
These exercises should be repeat-
ed six times. They should be done
daily, and if the feet have a ten-
dency to coldness, they should be
done twice a "day.
On calls to the doctor the feet
should be soaked for five minutes
in warm, soapy water, thoroughly
dried, and the toenails cut. Non-
infected calluses should be soaked
daily and massaged with lanolin. If
there is accumulated serum under
a plaque of callus, the plaque
should be dissected away to remove
pressure and an antiseptic dressing
applied. The patient then soaks
the feet several times daily and ap-
plies & clean, wet dressing. In
mild cases of ingrowing toenail in
which the nail is inverted, the edges
should be raised with an orange
stick and small pieces of cotton in-
serted beneath to prevent further
inversion. In more severe types a
triangular section of the side of the
affected nail is removed,

CHAPTER 44
"THEN, I put my little question
to the chauffeur,” M. Picon went
on. “I want to be sure that
he was not in the village, I say.
Can he tell me something which
will prove him to have been else-
where? And he, the poor fool,
who does not know Amer Picon,
tells me of the flag that was at
half-mast. He leaves me then
only one thing to do. It is a hope,
a chance, that he stopped the car
at a point from which that tower
is to be seen. And voila! it comes
true! I discover that he went
there with his accomplice.
“Then worse, they both deny
that they were out together. How
foolish! Had they been innocent,
why should they conceal it? A
little scolding for an offense in
the routine of the house, what is
that? Nothing. And by denying
it, they make it guilty. Oh yes,
even this young man had his
blunders.
"That then, mes amis, is the ex-
planation of this mystery. You,
unfortunately, all of you who
tried to solve it, sought the im-
possible. You thought,- as the
murderer intended that you should
think, about the manner in which
someone could have escaped from
the room after the screams and
before your entry. That wfls
foolish. It should have been evi-
dent at once to you that nobody
could have escaped in that time.
Then either he was still there, or
the screaming had not been done
at the time of the murder. And
since he was not still there, voila!
the certainty was the latter. You
see how' simple,' how logical, now
that Papa. Picon explains? But
no—you dp not reason so. You
begin to think of the unnatural,
of creatures with wings. You
should have known that always,
my friends, always in such cases
of a murder behind locked doors
the explanation is a matter not of
the means of escape, but of the
time af which the crime was done.
Ah, if we all drew the conclusions
which murderers mean us to draw,
what a happy time for murderers!
But fortunately there are some
who have a sense of logic!
"This man had, as you say, all
the luck. Everj^hing conspired
to shift the blame onto other
shoulders, and to confuse the in-
vestigators. There was Monsieur
Strickland, the stepson, who
would benefit so much, who had
been in trouble and changed his
name, who slept next door. There
was the butler, already guilty of
blackmail. There was the cure,
who was not quite well in the
head, and who arrives at the bed-
side so soon after the murder.
And there was Monsieur Norris
who was also upstairs at the time.
So many to be suspected! So
much confusion. Surely he is
lucky. But no—fortunately there
arrives Amer Picon, with his
sense of logic. He is lucky no
more. He and his accomplice are
discovered. Voila! Cest tout!"
Looking back on the moment at
which M. Picon finished, I think
that my first emotion was one of
sympathy with Lord Simon. It
must have been galling to him to
see his card castle collapse, and
the ironclad edifice of M. Picon
take its place. He had worked so
hard and conscientiously, that he
deserved to have been successful.
But no. The little foreigner was
obviously congratulating himself.
All doubt was now removed.
M. Picon had scarcely finished
speaking, and was still smiling in
self-congratulation, when Mgr.
Smith unexpectedly began.
"What you all seem to forget,”
he said, "is that a man who can
be a spy, can also be a spider."
At once I remembered all his
mystic references to King Bruce,
and things o» people or facts that
have discovered
now to be revealed as common-
place.
"You, too, have discovered the
murderer?” I asked; not, I must
own, taking the little cleric very
seriously, but willing enough to
be diverted by his accounts
“I have discovered the mur-
derer,” he replied, “by a rope, a
phrase, and by the way in which
a man killed flies. It is vefry sim-
ple, but it has the terror and the
power and the immensity of all
simple things.”
He paused for a moment, as
though wondering whether he
should tell us. Then he went on.
"There was a woman murdered in
a locked room, from which the
only escape was by the window,
and the only manner of e^itfrom
the window was by a rope. ' So
without beginning to talk:in that
superstitious way of unnatural
happenings, it was necessary to
discover how that rope had been
used. It could have been neither
climbed nor used for descent, so
we came to Lord Simon’s explana-
tion—that a rope may swing, and
a man‘may swing on it But what
I think Lord Simon failed to see,
was that when a rope can swing
from left to right, another may
swing from right to left
"In Mrs. Thurston’s roon there
were two windows, one wt ich was
made to open, and on», con-
structed without frame or hinges,
which would not open. Arid both
had stone ledges at least a foot
wide. And you were all ofservant
of the window which opeiied. But
what about the window which did
not open? It could have let in
lovely things, fresh air, and moon-
beams, the scent of flowers, and
truth. For the truth of this mat-
ter was behind the windoyv which
did not open, waiting to be ad-
mitted.
“To escape from the room a
man had to swing on a ro >e. But
he did not swing to the right to
the window of Strieklandfs room,
but to the left, to the ui gening
window, for the rope to which he
cluqg was let down not fiom Fel-
