New York Newspapers Are Winning An Uphill Fight Have Increased Size of Combined F.dilions Now lirin- Is sued from Ki^hl to Sixteen I'ajjcs W ilh Prospect of Gelling IJark lo Normalcy Soon J ny HOIIKIIT T. S.MAI.I4 <C?#rH?f?t. 112 J. Br Thi a<iiiko New York, Sept. 2(>.?The New York newspapers are slowly but surely winning their tight for existence against the striking pressmen who walked out more than a week ago without authori zation from their international union. They have increased their1 issues now to sixteen pages daily, but no paper has yet1 asserted its identity. All are being issued under the caption "The Combined New York Papers" morning or evening, as the case may be. The strike has produced without; question the moct interesting phe nomena In the history of American newspaper making. Each paper is being issued from it own plant in I its own typographical makeup, hull in accordance with an agreement strictly adhered to. no paper makes j use of Its own name except to list It among all the other papers who I are In the fight against the unlawful - slrlke. This cloak of anonymity thrown ' al|put the papers has resulted in many things. In the first place the j editorial page was cpmj>J*tely dls- ; carded. Not being able t'? assert, their own Identity the papers natur ally could not express convincing j views on any subject. And no ed itorial page, common to mi, could ie ' devised. In their endeavor to maintain \ some measure of individuality, the papers have clung like grim death to the fixed features which gave them distinction. Although barred from using their own names, they have not been barred from using the names of. contributor*. These names, familiar to readers, have ! been given unusual prominence, and i through them newspaper renders! have been able to Identify their fav orite journal despite the fuct that I all of the papers have exactly simi- 1 lar headings. Under the caption , "The Combined New York News- ^ papers" appear the headings of all the papers In the combine, in greatly , reduced facsimiltes. The names are i arranged alphabetically so that only one morning newspuper and one j Afternoon newspaper is fortunate to , foegln the list with its own name. ? The New York World, for instance; ( has to carry the name of the New , York American first of the long list of names. The Now York editors, fighting for Identity, havo deliberately sacrificed news in order giv?- spac<> to th?- fa-! miliar features which have made their papers different from others. This has applied alike to special writers and special artist*. The | confusion of the first few day a as to j the Identity of the several papers re sulted in some strange circulation , stunts. One afternoon jmper here I with an average circulation of some- ; thing like 30,000 copies, jumped to j 80,000 copies. Papers with huge I circulations slumped to half their normal figures. This was when an effort was made Just to print the] news. Then came the real ixirt ion that features must be depended upon j to establish and maintain Identity, and distinction. Now the flow is getting back to a normal percentage. I Publishers found that difference in i typographical make-up was not j quickly realized by the readers In the absence of the familiar flrst page heading. One morning paper found that without Its own caption, its ty- , pographlcal makeup was entirely too] much like another morning news paper. The owner of the paper or dered a change. He ordered the morning pap?*T to adopt the type and style of his afternoon newspaper In this city. Then came the confus ion of late morning editions and| early afternoon editions appearing on the same news stands. Readers sesreely knew which was which. The owner Is anxiously waiting for the strike period to be declared offi cially over so that his papers can get and wc will nupply full in formation about n policy to protect your wife-to-be. THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY * ?III* UNITED MATES ALVIN T. HALEY OTM1AL AfJKXT ?14-aiS HMon Pull.tin* KLIZAHKTH CITY, If. c. back to some sort of normalcy. The papers combined under the cloak of anonymity ho that no one paper would be justified in trying to take advantage of another. It was ai first suggested that each paper continue in Its original form, print ing a notice on the first page that an agreement had been reached to limit all papers to a given number of pages. This idea was discarded by the publishers after mature consid eratlon. The absence of newspaper adver-1 tising unquestionably has had a se rious effect on trade in New York duriug the past ten days. This is | particularly true of the big depart-1 inent stores. They have had no ? means of presenting the "news" o(J their special sales to the women i leaders. In the absence of this^ lure, the shoppers have either re-' iiiaiued at home, or purchased just I ??uch necessities as came to their mind. Que old New York house hr?* .Mlcpli'd the plan of putting a foil page advertisement in suburban papers not affected iijr the strike an I havanic hundred* of copies of the ".id" available for distribution at the store. Publishers have not as yet been able to get the reaction of the public to the absence of the editorial pages. They say that their editions have 1 been so limited and the handicaps to (thoroughly understood by the pub lic that they have had few letters on the subject one way or another. Among the hundreds of thousands of commuters on th#? trains leading to New York each day. however, there ; is plenty of discussion of the news papers and many readers frankly say that the absence of editorials on the bigger questions of the day leave them in a doubtful frame of mind. They have become accustomed to the newspapers thinking for theiu, and miss the "brain food" that the edi torial pages provide. Many editor-1 ial page features are being carried by the papers in other-positions. The strike and its effect will be studied by newspaper makers for peveral yiars to come, hut it seems certain that as Melville E. Stone once said. It is the distinctive paper that wins out In the end. Miss Elizabeth Zleeler of Edenton is In the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Sawyer. Gelfand's Relish and Mayonnaise at all <*ood grocers. POSTAL SYSTEM IS SWAMPED BY PARCELS Manilla. Sept. 27? Collect parcel *po?t packanes to th<? amount of $515,000 were sent in 1922 from the tinted Staui to th<; Philippines; the business has grown so in the present year that its total tor 1924 is esti mated at 15,000,000. This would mean the handling and delivery of something like 2.000.000 m parate parcels, and the Phillippine postal authorities are wondering how they can meet these demand*. ' Increased postal appropriations will be necessary, and the idea has been , advanced in some quarters that the I collect service should be discontin-; ued. ?

Slanting windshield and one-man top lend material aid in giving the entire car a lower, more stylish appearance. An apron connecting the radiator with the fender skirts is also a decided improvement. ?J* - A comfort feature much appreciated by owners, is the additional leg room provided by the enlargement of the cowl.

I firmly believe that it puts added power behind my punch.'* * Dr. Emil Saner, well known New England Physician, in commenting on Dempsey's state ment i says : " No man without plenty ofgoodredbloodrichinhealthgivingand strength ?building iron can go through life filled with vigor, force and power." "Every thinking person should realize if men as physically fit as Jack Demnsey. Zack Wheat. Harry Hooper and dozens of other leaders In the world of sport have helped to maintain their supremacy by the use of this newer form ofiron^hich is called Kuxated Iron, how much more important it is for the average man to see that there Is no lack of iron in his blood. A sur prisingly large number of people suffer from iron deficiency. Without iron in the blood, you cannot be your best, either mentally or physically, because lack of iron not only makes you nervous. Irritable, and easily fatigued, but robe you of that virile force, that stamina and strength of will which are so necewary t-> success and power in every walk of life. To help make strong. keen, red-blooded Ameri cans their Is nothing In my experience which I have found so valuable as Nuxated Iron." Cet a bottle of Nuxated Iron today. Take it for two weeks, and if you have not, like thousands of others, obtained most surprising health, strength and energy, the manufacturers wilJ promptly refund your money.
