Washington. March 17.—OP)—Tex
tile mill owners in the New- Jersey
strike area went into conference to
day with Secretary Davis and Labor
Department concHiators in an effort to
reach an accord on a plan of settle
ment.
The conference was begun soon af
ter a delegation of strikers had failed
in an effort to lay their case directly
before President Ooolidge.
Indications were that the in ! l! own
ers who have refused to negotiate with
strike leaders in Passaic were in ac
cord in principle with the tentative
plans under discussion.
Officials declined to predict whether
a definite program for settlement
would be agreed upon today but were

indicates this fearless pilot reached an altitude of 41,000 feet or nearly
2,000 feet higher than the mark set by a French aviator, but this figure
may be changed by the official calibrations. At one time during the fight

ASHEVILLE TO BID FOR
TUBERCULAR HOSPITAL j
Efforts Will Be Made to Build Insti
tution as Memorial to Christy;
Mathewson.
Asheville, March lfi. —When the)
New York Giants and Washington
Senators play a benefit exhibition
game at the Polo Grounds July 7th to
raise funds for a Christy Mathewson
memorial, efforts will be made by Si
Sanborn, editor of Baseball Maga
zine. to extend the movement so t'iat
a tubercular home for baseball play
ers will be erected as a Mathewson
memorial, it was learned here today.
Pi case this movement receives fav
orable commendation, Asheville will
bid for the institution on the strength
of its superlative tubercular curing
climate. Presence of Hugliie Jen
nings, former Detroit manager, who
is successfully fighting off tile dis
ease here, gives Asheville the neces
sary leverage to work with in this
respect.
Many tubercular physicians here
express belief that had Mathewson
come here 'lie would have won bis
fight against the dreaded disease.
When the annual minor league
baseball meeting is held here next
December, it is expected that the pro
posed tubercular home for players as
a Mathewson memorial will receive
serious consideration from the chiefs
of organized baseball.

! JUDGE GEO. H. BROWN
PASSES IN WASHINGTON
, Members of Supreme Court to At
j tend Funeral cf Former Justice
Thursday.
I Raleigh. March lfi.—Supreme court,
, of which Judge George H. Brown who
did this afternoon in Washington,
his home, was a member sixteen
years, will adjourn in honor of Judge
Brown tomorrow at noon nnd Thurs
day will attend the funeral.
Tlie death of Judge Brown recalls
the famous court of which he. Jus
tice Henry G. Connor. Piatt Walker,
William A, Hoke and Chief Justice
Walter Clark yyere the members.
Judge Connor resigned from it in
1909 to become federal judge. The
Connor vacancy was filled by Judge
Janies S. Manning as appointee of
Governor Kitchen, and later by Jus
tice William R. Allen, chosen by the
Charlotte eouventipn over Judge
Manning. From then to the retire
ment of Judge Brown in the Morri
son administration thnt court re
mained intact. Judge Brown gave
notice in the primary of 1920 that
he would not run again.
The peculiar thing about this re
tirement was that it was bottomed
on ill health. Judge Brown’s ab
sence from the bench in 1920 spring
term drove him on account of illness
to retire. He was the only man of
the famous bench who quit for health
reasons, but when he died today he
was the last of the bench. All mem
,bcrs who sat with him in the old
court have died.
He was universally regarded one of
the greatest' lawyers that the state
has had, wonderful in his nbility to
write the law briefly and lueidily.
His brother-in-law, Chief Justice
James E. Shepperd, left the bench be
fore Judge Brown ascended to his
place.

Griest Talks to Local
Merchants About Value
Os Modern Advert' -.g
Expert Tells Merchants There Would Be Strike If
They Treated Their Employees as They Do Their
Advertising.
Sessions of the Merchants' Insti
tute here again Tuesday were charac
terized by excellent attendance nnd
j instructive and masterful talks by ,T.
■ W. Griest of Chicago, instructor in
■ the institute.
! The subject, “Helpful Hints on Ad-
I verfising.” discussed by Mr. Griest
j Tuesday at noon, to managers and
| executives at the Y. M. C. A. build
j ing, was pronounced by many of the
business men present as the best talk
jso far in tlie program. His ideas
) were picked from a field of careful re
j search work and were correlated in
l such away that an immediate cash
box value was apparent to those who
would use any of his helpful hints.
Mr. Griest stated that the subject
of advertisement wgs so broad in its
scope that it would be impossible to
discuss more Ilian one phase of ad
vertising nnd its application to one or
two of the many different mediums
| employed. Mentioning the different
mediums in a general way and lay
ing them aside he took up what he
considered the best medium and the
one mostly used; this medium is
newspaper advertising. In laying
a foundation or basic element upon
which to build his talk lie stated that
if advertising as anything at all it
is a system of education. The
speaker made repeated references
throughout his discussion to his defi
nition of advertising and said that
he wanted it impressed on the con
science of every one present as it
must be considered regardless of wliat
kind of advertising they were doing.
In the way of illustration he cited
great mail order house methods of
advertising nnd showed how they be
gan a generation ago to educate the
people along the line of their ethics
of doing business. He said today
there is a second nnd even a third
generation growing up that had been
unconsciously educated to buy where
such service is rendered and where
the same ethics are in vogue.
The speaker said if advertising is
a system of education then before
the preparation of any form of adver
tising we must stop and ask ourselves
the questions, “What is the real pur
pose of this advertisement?” “What
am I going to educate the people to
do?” “What is the ultimate aim or
purpose of this advertisement?” “Am
I going to educate tlie people to al
ways expect that I am going to re
duce my merchandise to one-third or
one-fourth?” “Or am I going to
educate them along the knowledge of

of Personal Solicitation for Great
Service.
H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Ob
server.
Washington, March 16.—John G.
Dawson, chairman of the Democrat
ic state executive committee, has
wired Senator Simmons as follows:
“At the meeting of the State Dem
ocratic executive committee in Ra
leigh on March 10th a resolution con
cerning your service in the Senate
was introduced and unanimously
adopted. It was prompted, I know,
by a very comprehensive and general
feeling of appreciation throughout the
state for the conspicuous and mag
nificent service you 'have rendered the
Democratic party. It recognizes, I
am sure, the sincerity in which you
have approached .official action; the
wisdom with which you have acted:,
the relentless force you have always
made for the accomplishment of good
and the usual splendid results which
have been achieved. The resolution,
as you will observe, directs that I
forward copy of it to you, and to com
ply with this direction is a distinct
and unusual pleasure to me.”
“Very Severe” Earthquake Recorded.
Washington. March 17.—(A s )—An
earthquake described as “very se
vere" 0 was registered on the seismo
graph at Georgetown University to
day at an estimated distance of 1,900
miles from Washington. Director
Tondorf, of the observatory, reported
that the disturbance lasted from 6:59
a. m. until 8 o’clock with the greatest
intensity about 7:09 to 7 :11 o'clock.
The direction of the shock from here j
was uncertain.
Ralph T. Cooreoy Sentenced to 18
Years.
Baltimore, March 16—Ralph T.
Ooursey, 32 year old trolley car con
ductor today' was found guilty of
second degree murder in Baltimore
county circuit court at Towson for
beating to death his five-year-old fos
ter son, Eldridge. He- was sentenced
immediately to 18 years in Mary
land penitentiary, ■ the maximum
penalty under the Maryland law.
The verdict was returned and
sentence pronounced by a bench of
three judges, who took-the case with
out argument late this afternoon
and deliberated but briefly.
Goursey spent the afternoon in the
witness box vehemently denying his.
wife's accusation that he flogged her
child to death- on February 6. Mrs.
Edna May Wright Coursey, herself
convicted last week of manslaughter
and now awaiting sentence, testified
against her husband yesterday. She
has moved for a new trial.

- the merchandise or the service that I
■ have to sell?" The speaker said that
I advertising and selling are closely
akin. Good advertising like suceess
i. ful Relling creates the want or the
desire for the merchandise nnd the
want makes people buy.
! Advertising is a business within a
business, the speaker said, and if
those engaged in it are not careful
- and treat it as such they will make
: up some morning and find t'bey had
i a business without business, Adver
•, tising must be treated with the same
: care and attention as employees in
i stores. The speaker said if some of
i the business men treated their em-
I ployees as they did their advertising
there would be a strike before Satur
: day night.
In discussing copy writing the
speaker said that good advertisements
were like good display windows; they
ought to be ro attractive that they
would make people stop and took. In
this connection he said that most of
the advertising should be accompanied
by a picture or an illustration that
was indicative of life or action. The
: speaker quoted Arthur Brisbane, the
world’s highest paid journalist, in
which he said that the rainbow was
the first advertisment ever written.
The rainbow has color, it is pleasing
to the eye, it is attractive, it has
position, it is ahvqys foutid either in
the east or the west. And like all
good advertising the rainbow stands
for something, it is the promise that
the world will never be destroyed by
water. Back of all advertising the
institution should stand with its
promises to make good, with its mer
chandising to verify the truthfulness
of the ad. and the integrity and sta
bility of the institution, to reflect
the personality, of the advertisement.
Good advertising has personality just
as a store or individual has person
ality. Customers should be able to
judge the kind of store standing back
of the advertisements they rend. Ad
vertisements should be specific in
their character and makeup. By
this the speaker said he meant that
advertisements should not deal in
generalities. They should give a de
scription of each article or group of
kindred articles. Where many dif
ferent kinds of articles ire advertised
in the same advertisement they should
be boxed or in some way separated
so as not to confuse the mind of the
reader. Many helpful hints along
the lines cf preparation of copy, se
