Advertising an Investment; Not An Expense • / y 'l ’ T 7 ’ ' r -i *’■ •' i • Attention is being given to the point driven home by the Fourth Estate in referring to expenditures for adver tising as an “investment.” The recent editorial is: The Fourth Estate takes occasion to call the attention pr the advertising and newspaper world to the use of the word “spends” as applied to comments regarding newspaper ad vertising campaigns. The constant use of the word “spends” instead of in vests” has a wrong effect. The psychology and significance of the use of the word •‘invests” in place of the word “spends” whenever talking or writing about newspaper advertising is good. Newspaper advertising is an investment. This fact has been proven be yond the shadow of a doubt by the ever increasing size of advertising appropriations in newspapers by well known national and local advertisers. Surely if they did ot continue to receive a sufficient re turn on their investment, they would not long continue to use newspaper advertising space, let alone increase the size of their appropriations.

Rochester, Minn.,' July 15.—Dr. Cnas2 H. Mayo today characterized the reported discovery in London of an infective agent of cancer as merely another step in can cer research toward the ultimate goal— a definite cure for the disease. “The British discovery is interesting.” said Dr. Mayo. “But I believe it is merely anticipating another step in the campaign toward control of cancer. Many great scientists today are forking |on the problem. “However, the search for a means for controlling ■ cancer is a matter 1 of years. Any definite cure which comes must stand the test of time and it must be very defi nitely proven before it will be accepted. “German scientists have isolated what they believe is a germ causing cancer. Tlie same germ has been discovered in New York and Chicago. Something good and hopeful is being arrived at all the time, but nothing definite has yet been arrived at and scientists every where will be inclined to take the con servative view.” Again, Please Note.
