ADVERTISING RAISES THE STANDARD OF LIVING It Makes People Want Things, and They Work to Get the Money to Buy Them. (By the Aaaoctateii Press.) J- London, July 15.—James D. Mooney\ vice-president and director of General Motors Corporation in charge of Ex port Companies, told the convention of Associated t Advertising Clubs of the World today that rebuilding of indus trial and commercial structures awaited leaders who would provide for workers sound economic programs that would has ten the day ail had expected with peace. "The tools are available and the labor er is ready to work," he said. "The need is for leaders, organizers with mental and moral courage who will place the tools In the lumds of the laborer, finance the laborer to the extent of providing him with tools aud materials, and finance the exchange of the laborer's products. This leadership must come out of the ranks of such men as are represented here at this convention. The present day is the day of the industrial and commercial leader." Mr. Mooney asserted advertising must be counted on to play a great part in reconstruction and rehabilitation, be cause it could be made so important a factor in distribution. “The world today is standing in great need of having its distribution systems re-creuted and re-vivified," he said. "The production facilities, although somewhat impaired by the great stresses imposed upon them during the war. stand general ly ready; men are eager to work. How ever, markets are needed for the prod ucts ; means of facilitating their ex change are needed. The old channels of distribution through which goods flowed prior to the war are gradually being re established and new channels, made nec essary by new political conditions, are being constructed. Advertising can very effiectively increase the rate of growth of these national and international distrib utive systems.” Mr. Mooney characterized the convene tion as a symbol of co-operation, an ex pression of the eagerness of the peoples of tlie world to work together. “Out of understanding and co-opera tion between nations, between political and commercial leaders and between cap ital and labor, will evolve the program of rehabilitation for which people are hun gering," he declared. Economic forces must be allowed free play, be said, natural economic laws must be respited and no impediments should be placed in the way of their working out freely. “Tlie nation prospers best,” he added, “that takes advantage of these laws rath er than resists them. Prejudices very often obscure economic imagination and prevent accurate economic appraisal.” Alluding to the development of the motor ear in the last 20 years as an im portant factor in ecbiiirtfile afitf "Cultitrnf progress, he said it had proved that what it aded annually to the wealth of a na tion. was greater than its actual cost. "Advertising has played a corresjiond ing part in raising standards of living.” he said. “It makes people want things. When they want tilings they go to work to get file money to pay for them.” Mr. Mooney urged the delegates to go forth with the ideal of helping to in crease tlie comfort and happiness of mil lions of families. "Let us dramatize the worker,” he added. "Let us create an atmosphere about him and about the leader-worker that will insure them social advantage. Let us take such interest and such part iu governhiontul and political affairs as will insure economic stability aud prog ress." 00. i..

BRANDED PASTOR ABLE TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL Memory Gone, Hair Turned White, Min ister is Ordered to Take Rest. Battle Creek, Mich., July 14. —Well enough to leave the hospital, but still un able to tell how three K’s were branded , on his back. Rev. Oren Van Loon went back to his home at Berkeley, Mich., to day. He was accompanied by his wife and a friend of the family, who drove him -back in an automobile. -Hope For Return of llaMM* ’ * After"'a rest in liis home, and among his friends, the pastor will win his way back to health more rapidly, physicians believe. They hope he may also sum mon back memories of the 11 days he was missing and remember the unknown assailants who branded the letters on his back. His wife holds to the theory that the Rev. Mr. Van Loon was drugged by a stranger who gave him a lift by automo bile from liis home in Berkeley to Royal Oak. Other men then joined the lone motorist, the wife believes, took the minister to a secluded place where they branded his back with a red-hot iron. Torture Cost Memory. The drugging and torture, according to I)r. A. L. Kingsley, who is attending Van Loon, is probably responsible for his loss of memory and failure to recall even the slightest details of bis experi ence. The Rev. Mr. Van Loon disappeared June 30. All he can remember is that, he was given a ride by a stranger from Berkeley to Royal Oak. and that after getting something to drink in a drug store he went to a bank to cash a check. The iiandwriting on the check showed that the pastor was in a state of ner vous excitement, which might have been due to drugs. But the minister himself cannot clear up even that mystery.

In the time that intervened between his disappearance in Royal Oak and his discovery in Battle Creek, 100 miles dis tant, he has lost 30 pounds, his hair has turned from gray to white.
