An advertising expert declared in a recent public address that newspaper advertising is becoming more and more the chief medium through which the business, mercantile and manufac turing world is reaching millions of people. Other forms of advertising come and go, are experimented with and frequently abandoned. But news paper advertising has demonstrated its worth so surely that it gains steadily in favor. Partly this is because newspapers are more widely read than they used to be and reach every class and group of consumers. Partly, too, it is be cause the best newspapers have co operated with those advertisers who have worked for honesty in advertis ing. The public has come to have confidence in ads it finds in certain papers, and its response to them has helped the newspapers themselves, the consumers and the advertisers. True profit in any business trans action involves the satisfaction of all the parties to it. A skin game can rarely be worked more than once on the same individual, but an honest ad interests the buyer in other ads of the same type. ■ ■ ♦ -------- Revolt Against Jazz. Jazz, whose death has been predict ed oftener than Raisuli's, is doomed for sure, according to radio figures from a big New York broadcasting station. The conclusion is based on the tabulation of 54,000 letters receiv ed in January of this year. Two years ago 75 per cent of the radio fans expressing a preference favored jazz music, with 20 per cent preferring “ good music” and the other 5 per cent preferring talks. In Janu ary of 1924 the jazz contingent had fallen to 35 per cent. This year it has gone down to 5 per cent, while 20 per cent of the patrons prefer talks and the other 75 per cent want “good music”—concert and standard num- ibers, operatic selections, symphonic music, etc. The situation as far as music is concerned is completely re versed, with the classics as trium- jphant as jazz was two short years ago. This remarkable about-face in musi cal taste is clearly the result of edu-, cation. Radio has enabled the Ameri-! can public to hear far more music than it ever heard before. Poor mu sic, like poor cloth, doesn’t wear. Peo ple have been listening with impartial judgment, and have quickly separated the cheap, transitory and blatant t from the good and enduring. / | Now if the public could only distin-( iguish as promptly between jazz and l the real thing in literature, drama and painting, what a land this would be for the fine arts! Kindler Plays to Capacity Audience. 1 Japanese Retaliation. The Japanese government has in troduced in parliament a land owner ship bill providing for discrimination against countries that discriminate against Japan. Foreigners are forbid den to hold title to Japanese land, but there will be exemption for citizens of countries which do not bar the Japanese from ownership of their land. This measure, if enacted, will be less of a blow to America than some of our western land laws are to Japan. Americans have no desire to settle in Japan in large numbers and acquire property there. Yet it may hamper American business investment in Japan. Ordinarily, a governmental protest might be expected against such ac tion. As matters stand, it would be embarrassing for the United States to protest. Whatever the outcome, it might as well be recognized in this country that Japan's resentment against foreign discrimination is natural, and she is only acting as other countries would be likely to act in the same circumstances. Enrollment for 1925. i ired A total of 3,119,439 persons enrolled in New York State last fall, and may vote at the primaries this year, accord ing to figures just announced by Flor ence E. S. Knapp, Secretary of State. A total of 1,284,407 Democrats en rolled; 1,773,051 Republicans, and 61,981 Socialists. In the fall of 1920, there was an enrollment of 2,759,971, while in 1923, the enrollment was 2,- 497,819. Last fall a total of 3,887,554 persons in this state registered. The total vote for governor amounted to 3,355,- 618, so that there were 531,936 who registered and did not vote. The lat est enrollment figures in a compari son between last fall and 1923, show a Democratic slump as having occur in 23 counties, but with gains reg istered in enrollment in the big cen ters of population. There was a drop in one county in the Republican enroll ment figures of last fall, compared with the year before. Child Brides. Lovely Bricks. It is a pitiful and yet illuminating story, that of the two Denver children, blind since infancy, who had their sight restored by an operation. They went into raptures over the common things of life all around them. They revelled in the blue of the sky, the green of the grass, and—the bricks. “ Everything is so strange, so beau tiful!” cried little Peter. “Bricks— bricks! Why, I knew the shapes of them. I knew how a brick felt. But look at the color! Look at the color of them! I never knew they were beautiful. ‘Lovely, lovely bricks! Houses built of beautiful bricks l'w His greatest appreciation was for the warm, pleasant color of the com mon bricks, though he liked the fan cier kinds, too. But, everything, even the dirt, looked wonderful to him. If the rest of us could only find continually fresh joy in common sights and sounds, like that! And we could, if we were only deprived of our blessed senses for a while now and then. Ipline I Internationalism, Samuel Insull, Chicago business Evidently it is time that Americans turned from their shocked contempla tion of the child brides of India and considered their own. The Russell Sage Foundation reports that there are more than one-third of a million women in the United States who were married when less than 16 years old. They are not markedly negroes or immigrants, either. A big majority of them are native whites. And this sort of thing is still going on, with no organized effort to stop it. Many of the states require no better evidence of eligible age than the affi davit of one of the applicants for a marriage license. Worse still, if pos sible, there are 14 states, including the two most populous, in which the legal minimum age for marriage is only 12 for girls and 14 for boys. Obviously these limits should be raised, and there should be other pre cautions adopted generally to check child marriages. There was a time when it was right, or at least tolerabe, to permit them. But times have changed. People live longer. Boys and girls mature later, with a longer “period of infancy” and a greater need of education and disci to fit them for modern life. It is unjust to the boys and girls to have them throw away their youth and as sume the responsibilities of maturity too early, and it is bad for society and bad for posterity.

Goodspeed, formerly of Penn Yan: 816 Vancouver Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. My dear Mrs. Crozier: You have asked me how I really feel about Southern California. When I was back East I too used to smile at the exaggerated praise one heard about this country. I think you really have to be here to understand what they mean. I attended a play recently entitled “If Everybody Had a Window in His House Like This.” The theme of the play was based oh the work of an artist, whose ideal of life was more light and more beauty. He gave ex pression to this ideal by making beau tiful windows. Colors were so caught and blended that when one stood in the light, as it sifted through, there seemed to be some magic at work. As the artist’s little girl said, “You feel as though you have wings on your feet and joy in your heart.” I am not sentimentalizing about California, but I have sometimes won dered if the light and sunshine and exhilirating air do not make the peo ple feel as though they have wings on their feet and joy in their hearts. Couldn't this explain their enthusiasm for everything pertaining to this coun try, a mere matter of feeling tone, just as the young girl in her exuberance at the mere thought of living finds everything grand, wonderful, marvel ous! The reasons why I, as ,a professional woman, like to live here are very tan gible. I love to live out of doors, and here one can veritably live out of doors. During the winter month of January I sat out of doors during the middle o f the day, with my sweater on of course, and carried on my writing. If you can squeeze in the time, almost every day is a good day for hiking, motoring, playing golf or tennis. I sleep out of doors on a sleeping porch and have not yet found any night too cold or windy. Our nights are cold you know in winter, just nippy, so that fires are cosy and it is nice to Snuggle into your fur collar. This, to my mind, answers the criticism that there must be ,a monotony in the cli mate with no sharp differentiation be tween the seasons. There is a differ ence, which you feel more and more each year. For my work, I like the people. They are the stuff of which pioneers are ! made, unshackled with traditions, young in mind and very little influ enced by public opinion. There really is a freedom about it, .a sense of in- j dependence which any new country gives, I suppose. You’d like it. i And they are doing things out here; . building beautiful schools and modern ! community serving churches with a lavish hand. California, New Jersey and Massachusetts rank highest in the country in their standard for the cer-1 tification of teachers, you know. I ; look for something splendid educa- [ tionally to come out of all this. They are forward looking, and for the most part, encourage rather than hamper the new and untried in our field. In Los Angeles and Pasadena we have had good music and drama this year, more than I have had time to attend. You would like the Communi ty Playhouse in Pasadena. It is a civic enterprise, all amateur players and they put on only the best modern plays. In the summer, the symphony concerts at the Hollywood Bowl are a rare treat. It is a natural amphi theatre, you know, with the Hollywood Hills rising jagged on all sides and the sky an inverted bowl of shining stars in the blue. It is really breathtaking- ly beautiful. You’d love our week-ends in the mountains or on the desert or by the sea, according to the season. I think after all this is why I love it most; I have never before lived in a place where it was possible to reach such glorious playgrounds so quickly and so easily; the snow-topped mountains or the lazy Pacific, and either one within two hours by motor, and good roads too! I want you to see it, oh so .much, and shall keep on hoping that you will make it this summer. Yours for a long joy-ride in Cali fornia, HELEN C. GOODSPEED.

To get away from the institu tional idea, the place is called the “Children's Billet,” where they have all the privileges of a home. The large building on the farm which housed the first contingent burned soon after it was bought, but the Legions and Auxiliaries of Michigan raised money and had a building ready for occupancy before winter set in. The plan is to have cottages, each with a house mother, and the third cottage was dedicated a few weeks ago by Mrs. Oliphant, national presi dent of the American Legion Auxiliary, for the plan involved found such favor in the national societies, that this home in Michigan was taken over by the National Legion, making it the nucleus for a series of such homes in the United States. While the $5,009,000 endowment fund is being raised (which will pro vide an income to take care of these homes), the Legion and Auxiliary Units of Michigan are still caring for the kiddies at Otter Lake. Clothing, canned fruit, toys, books and money are being provided generously, and the whole looked after by the Billet Wel fare Officer, Miss Anna Cross, of Jackson. Miss Cross served the de partment as secretary during the first four years of its existance, and she and I worked together on the hospital and welfare committee for the state during that time, so I know she is well fitted to look after the wants of these little ones. The widow of a service man can find a home at the Billet if she wishes, as it is the desire of those in charge to have all helpers, as near as possible, from among those eligible to membership in the two great orders. There is still another institution in Michigan, not founded by the Ameri can Legion, but by the U. S. Govern- Iment, and that is Federal Hospital, Base 100, situated on the grounds ad joining Roosevelt Hospital, occupied by Camp Custer during the war. This is for mental cases, and there are al ready 317 men there, in all stages of diseased mentality. The government asks for no aid in caring for them, but it is suggested byrthe Legion that the Auxiliaries send cookies, candy and smokes to these men. It is not because New York is not doing her share along welfare and re habilitation lines that I have called attention to the above, but to let read ers of the Chronicle know of Mich igan’s pride in having taken the initia tive in two such widely known projects as Roosevelt Hospital and the Chil dren’s Billet. District associations in the Ameri can Legion are very active in this state, doing real constructive work which eounts in the department. Feb ruary 27, the coldest day of the sea son, an auto load of people from Ma son. myself among the number, drove eighty miles to Pontiac to attend the 6th district meeting, reaching home at 4 a. m. the following day. While there I had a visit with a former Middlesex boy, Clark B. Chaf fee, who has been for some years his tory teacher in the Pontiac high school. Mr. Chaffee taught school in Yates county when a young man. later work ed his way through Hillsdale College, and has been superintendent of a num ber of Michigan schools, but through it all has retained his Interest in Yat^s countv and its affairs. Enough for this time. Yours truly. FRANC L. ADAMS.
