One in Six Thousand We don't have to ask you to take our word for it any more when we tell you that typo graphically The Advance com pares favorably with the dailv newspapers from towns far larger than Elizabeth City. i The big tailoring firm of Schloss Bros, has something like! 6,000 merchants who se'l Schloss, clothes. The Schloss Bros, merchan'; in Elizabeth City is McCabe & Grice. On February 26, McCabe & Grice ran a Schloss Bros.j clothes advertisement in The Advance and had a copy mailed to Schloss Bros, headquarters at Baltimore. The other day The Advanci revived by wire from Schloss' Bros, an order to print 6,000 ' copies of the page on which their | advertisement appeared. "We want to send it out over our en tire mailing list," a letter priori to the wire had explained. I Doubtless thousands of news- j papers carrying Schloss Bros, clothes advertising go to Schloss Bros, headquarters e v e r y( month. Advertisements similar, to that published here by Mc-| Cabe & Grice were published all, over1 the country, we suppose. But among nil these advertise ments that of McCabe & Grice appealed most to the man at tho head of Schloss Bros, advertis ing department in Baltimore. So 6,000 Schloss dealers in all parts of the country ?re bo shown the McCabe & Grice ad vertisement in The Advance as an example of good advertising plaved up in good style by a newspaper that is a credit to its community. As we said in the beginning, you don't have to take our word for it.

The men of science and the master military minds who predicted that the next war would be in the air, knew what they were talking about. I Bros.: "We wish to say that the gen eral set up and appearance of | your paper is equal to the best that we receive from anywhere, and it is a credit to your city." William Jennings Bryan is being talked of as the possible choice for the Democratic nom ination for the Presidency, says a Washington writer. If Bryan had never been Secretary of State, had resisted the lure of the Chautauqua platform and had steered clear of evolution, perhaps his political hour might have struck in J 924. As it is, ? no chance.

Zimmerman, of Lexington. | The war in the air and for the air is on. The American j Telephone and Telegraph Com pany has announced that it wiil spend millions of dollars to as 1 sert its control over the patents I which in tVn control many 'phases of broadcasting and re ceiving. The telephone company claims that already it has spent millions in I developing radio-phony and that it is entitled to reap the harvest of Its investments. Also the telephone company is moving in the patent suits to protest j its own stockholders. Recently some of these stockholders have become concerned over the amount of mon ey the company was sinking in it3 radio experiments and construction. The stockholders of at least one of the subsidiary companies of the A." T. & T.. had protested over the amount spent in building a big broadcasting station which was fur nishing entertainment free to all persons who cared to buy or build i receiving set. The stockholders wanted to know where the company was to get its return for these side line investments. They felt that money which they should be receiv ing in dividends was being diverted; to the wireless activities. The suits for injunction begun here to establish uie right of the A. T. & T. Company to control the air are at once the answer to the tens of thounands of telephone stockhold ers all over the country and an ef fort to put radio on a purely com mercial basis. This latter phase naturally is not. j popular with the several millions of radio fans scattered from one end of the' country to the other. They see in the suits an attempt to make them pay tribute to a "soulless cor poration," the idea being that if the patent suits are successful, every person with a receiving set will be taxed so much a year for its use. Officials of the telephone company say the principle has been recog nized that telephone communication I is a natural monopoly. They arej convinced they can make out just af? | good a case to the public with re spect to radio. Monopoly, the radio bugs 9ay, PKOIJLKMS OP CONDUCT Hy Professor Dick Calkins Whim's Wrong Hero?

If all* radio users were compelled to tune! in every night on the same station.' nine-tenths of the pleasure in radio would be gone. The greatest of in door sports these days is to reach for Montreal one minute and then strive for Havana the next. Radio, users keep a precious record of all j the stations they have been able to) hear. If the use of the radio should ? degenerate into a condition where; you would have the same old "ceq tral" always answering the detector and would not be allowed by law toi "tune in" anywhere else, radio, would become about as much of an amusement as k telephone conver-. satlon over an interrupted circuit is today. Even Before the telephone com- 1 pany began its patent suits there] was complaint that its big station i here, WEAK, was attempting to cen-' sor the air. This charge was levelled against] the company principally by officials of the city government. It was said that a city health official wanted to' broadcast a talk to the residents of the city. The telephone company sald it could not be done as it was bound by an arrangement to broad-' cast only such talks as might be re quested by a certain medical society. It was partly due to this incident that New York City determined to erect its own broadcasting station. It was easier to plan the station, how-j ever, than to erect it. For no soon er were bids asked for than the city found it was to be bound down by; all sorts of contractural require- j ments by the companies manufacture' ing certain essentials of broadcast- j ing apparatus. The city is deter- 1 mined to make a fight at Washing ton on the ground that what . amounts to an agreement In re straint of trade exists anions cer tain electrical manufacturing com panies. Hudson Maxim, the great inver. tor. also is out after radio. Mr. Maxiui has had either a deliberate or a mechanical joke played upon him. He doesn't know which. Mr. Maxim is against certain provisions of the prohibition amendment. Ho I says that tea and coffee drinking should be stopped, because tea and coffee are intoxicants. He was sche duled to make a speech on "laws that are crimes" a night or two ago. He had hardly started when he was lost in the air. Something went wrong. Mr. Maxim believes he was censored. Radio officials say some thing *vas Trong Tith ?,h? instru ments. Mr. Maxim believes tne drys control the air and it makes him humid to think of it.
