BY RODNEY DUTCHER,
Washington Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—Nothing
quite like the propaganda ef-
fort in this campaign has ever
been seen before. All the old
stunts for influencing public opin-
ion are being used, plus a very
large number of new wrinkles,
some of them bizarre.
It is impossible to get any ac-
curate list showing the way the
millions for propaganda are be-
ing spent. It appears obvious to
most observers, however, that Re-
publicans are spending far m >re
monej to “unsell Roosevelt"’ than
Democrats are spending to defend
him.
High-pressure advertising and
sales technique is being plugged
hard at national Republican head-
quarters in Chicago. The tech-
nique is based on the fact that
most voters don’t and can’t un-
derstand the issues or compre-
hend just what the candidates is
talking about.
Democrats are sticking to more
conservative and traditional meth-
ods under Charlie Michelson, al-
though some big fellows in the
adntinistration are frankly wor-
ked as to the effects of the op-
position’s huge barrage of radio,
screen, newspaper, billboard, gro-
cery store, literature, and word-
of mouth propaganda.
Sound Trucks on Tour.
Eight motor trucks left Chi-
cago the other day or. a Republi-
can nutor tour thn i gh Illino".’.
WASHINGTON (UP). — Eight
large pictures of the recent total
eclipse of the sun and its mys-
terious corona, which are believed
to compare favorably with the
best photographs made during
previous eclipses were brought to
Washington by Dr. Irving C.
Gardner, American scientist, it
was announced by the National
Geographical Society.
The pictures were made at Ak
Bulak, U. S. S. R., on June 19,
w.ih a huge camera equipped with
an astrographic lens system which
Dr. Gardner had invented for the
purpose.

Minnesota, Iowa an I
South Dakota. The Democrats
will have sound trucks, carrying
speakers an 1 some music. But
these Republican trucks will carry
nto only speakers, but also ex-
hioits of foodstuffs alleged to
have been imported, to put over
the idea that the New Deal is
throwing away the farmer’s do-
mestic market.
Hill Blackett, an advertising
man, serves as a Republican mas-
ter mind for-the special stunts.
He heads a very large staff of
advertising, radio, theatrical, and
other radio specilists.
The staff prepares free vaude-
ville skits studded with anti-New
Deal wisecracks for any actor
who will take them, free anti-
New Deal sermons for clergy-
men, and things like that.
The Republicans are said to be
spending at least half a million
dollars on billboards—“Vote for
Landon and Land a Job.’’
In New York citizens find them-
selves being approached by “beg-
gars” who ask for a dime and in-
sist on telling how New Deal pol-
icies made them what they arte
today. Democrats insist these men
are in Republican pay and that
so are many barbers, hairdressers,
and bartenders hired to dissemi-
nate anti-New Deal monologs in
their contacts with the public.
Blackboard* Spread “Naw*.”
The Republican “blackboard
trick” has annoyed Democrats.
That’s the one where the national
committee provides
for butchers which
aren’t high, but taxes are. These
boards purport to show that when
you pay, for example, 45 cents a
pound for pork chops you’re pay-
ing 30 cents for meat and 15 cents
for taxes.
The only way Democrats can
combat this is to have housewives
ask the butcher to explain the
tax item, which neither he nor
anyone else can do.
Then there’s the device of send-
ing women around from house to
house with two market baskets,
purporting to show city house-
wives how much less than can
buy for a dollar now than before
the New Deal. Democrats are
trying to tell the farmers all
about this.
- In the last few days of the
campaign, there will be a direct
mail Republican campaign of un-
precedented size. Meanwhile, the
G. 0. I’, is ordering pamiphlets
and leaflets in enormous quanti-
ties and boasts that it will have
distributed about 30,000,000 Lan-
don sunflowers by election time.
The official Democratic propa-
ganda machine at New York
headquarters has been slower in
getting organized. Most of the
things it’s doing are also being
duplicated by the G. O. P.
Smaller newspapers through the
country, for instance, receive
clipsheets, cartoon service with
mats, and Charlie Michelson’s
weekly letter. Pamphlets are
distributed to voters through
state headquarters and county
chairmen and sometimes direct
through precinct workers.
Democrats expect to distribute
between 10 and 12 million but-
tons, as compared with fewer
than nine million in 1932. The
ofiicial campaign book, primarily
for speakers and covering all New
Deal phases, is about ready.
A million copies of the pdrty
platform will be distributed and
there probably will be a couple
of dozen propaganda pamphlets
eventually, each of which will
have a circulation of from 500,-
000 to 750,000. Michelson has
been working on an advertising
program, but he won’t try to
match the Republican billboards.
He thinks billboards are too ex-

There are many antiseptics now
available for use on the skin, and
in mouth, nose, eyes and the vari-
ous cavities of the body; also an-
tiseptics for use in first aid and
for overcoming local Infections.
The most widely known anti-
septics for use on the skin are
tincture of iodine and 2 per cent
mercurochromo solution.
The Council on Pharmacy and
Chemistry of the American Medi-
cal Association recognizes the im-
portance of antiseptics for first
and mercurochrome are included
in the preparations that may be
so advertised.
This council, which includes
some 17 authorities in various
departments of medicine, has not
approved such widely advertised
antiseptics as are'commonly rec-
ommended for throat
and for prevention of
types of infectious diseases, in-
cluding colds.
There is no scientific evidence
There is perhaps no
element more Import-
ant in the last rites
than the element of
sincerity. And, under
the direction of an ex-
perienced staff, that
sincerity is carefully
and perfectly maintain-
ed in all the services
we conduct.
BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal of the American
Medical Association, and of
Hygela, the Health Magazine
One of the most significant de-
velopments in modern medical ad-
vertising is the widespread pro-
motion and use of antiseptics in
may be used in gargles or sprays,
or in any other similar manner,
will prevent the unset of the com-
mon could.
Neither is there any evidence
that any of these antiseptic solu-
tions is of real value when used
as a gargle to destroy germs in
mouth and throat. Chief value of
such use is to wash the infectious
material out of the mouth, and
this can be accomplished just as
well with a weak solution of salt
water.
Many people, liowevcr, prefer
the clean taste that is associated
with the use of an antiseptic mouth
wash, and others seem to get a
good deal of confidence out of
having such antiseptic materials
available.
Among the materials most
widely used as mouth washes
and gargles, as well as sprays, arc
th? antiseptic solutions which are
included in a book called the “Na-
tional Formulary,” a volume
known by druggists to include
many other preparations besides
those listed in the United States
Pharmacopoeia.
This formulary includes both
acid and alkaline antiseptic solu-
tions similar to some of the solu-
tions most widely advertised.
There are also mixtures contain-
ing bicarbonate of soda which are
considered cleansing when there is
mucus present.
Most druggists prepare their
own antiseptic solutions, which
can be bought at prices lower than
some of the widely promoted
preparations.
In the choice of a mouth wash
or lotion, the average erson will
do fairly well if ho can find one
which tastes and feels right with-
out worrying very much about the
antiseptic efficiency.
One of the best old-fashioned
antiseptic solutions for use in the
home is boric acid. Must people
prefer to have ackages of crystals
of boric acid, or boric acid powder,
and to make up a solution just
before they use it.
A recent development is the
chlorinated soda mixture which,
during the World War, was called
Dakin’s solution. There are now

The Dally News carriers are instructed to place
papers on subscrioers* porches, regardless of
weather. A report on failure to make porch de-
livery is appreciated by the circulation depart-
ment. Failure to receive the paper by fl:80 week
days, 7.00 a. m. Sunday, should also be reported
to the circulation department. A representative
is in the office each evening until 6:30, i^pd until
9:00 a. m. Sunday, to adjust complaints.
With Business, Advertising,
The average citizen must be getting more than a lit-
tle tired of the campaign orators who are going up and
down the land telling all who will listen that the coming
presidential election is the most fateful in the nation’s his-
tory.
America isn’t on the edge of a precipice. It will still
be here a year from today, whether Roosevelt or Landon is
sitting in the White House. It’s a tough country, and it
will go on doing business at the old stand, regardless of
the outcome of the election.
Nevertheless there is a sense in which this campaign
is going to be a landmark for future historians. How it
comes out may not change the course of history; how it is
conducted may be exceedingly important.
Consider this fact: America is one of the last of the
great democracies in this modern world. All across Europe,
in country after country, democratic institutions have col-
lapsed and fallen. In countries where they have not fal-
len, they are under attack as never before.
Ordinary men all over the civilized world have come
to wonder whether, after all, complete self-government is
a working possibility in the world as it exists today.
These people are Watching our presidential campaign
this year as never before. How will the greatest of democ-
racies conduct her affairs this year?
Will she, in a time of great stress, when men are wor-
ried and uncertain and the future is perplexing, be able to
make a sane and intelligent decision on the issues without
giving, way to emotion or prejudice? with unimportant
side issues, we shall be telling the other nations that de-,
mocracy doesn’t work so well, after all.
How America answers those questions may play a
major part in settling the fate of democracy. For this
country, which introduced democracy to the modern world,
must now justify it. It must prove that democracy can
work as well in hard times as in good; that the people
themselves, with unlimited discussion and a free choice,
can guide the destinies of a nation as sensibly and effi-
ciently as can a clique of self-appointed rulers.
It must demonstrate that the common folk of a great
country deserve their freedom.
What happens between now and election day is all-
important. If we spend our time on hush-hush campaign
rumors, run after the stump speakers who devote them-
selves to attacks on character, and get all befuddled with
unimportant side issues, we shall be telling the other na-
tions that democracy doesn’t work so well, after all.
But if we hew straight to the line, examine the issues
thoroughly and intelligently, refuse to be stampeded by
fear or prejudice, accept each candidate as an honest and
patriotic American, and make our decision finally accord-
ing to our most sober judgment—then the cause of democ-
racy in the world as a whole will get a great, new lease on
life.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9. There
la a catalogue on my worktable
from Distinctive Personal Service,
which offers to convert a .slave to
I- duty into a loafer for moderate
prices. The catalogue describes
various services that have not
come to light before. I’ve long been
with the idea of having
a represenatnive of the bureau
come and walk my dog briskly for
half a mile in the morning, lean on
the doorbell when is it time to
knock off slumber, send me an at-
tractive, shapely luncheon com-
nanior., instruct the housekeeper,
order the dinner, fire the help,
poke the furnace or negotiate a
bid for a bronze Buddha at a
I downtown auction sale.
This isn’t the first time such in-
1 aidlous jpropaganda has arrived
RSSuough no one has come
through yet with a business-like
I ' offer to provide a daily column.
? Distinctive Personal Service has
< - .attpped around to the house, how-
' ever, to say that this could also be
k arranged. > I guess it could, at
I that.
This New York company isn’t
F easily stymied, if you care to go
• into some of its recent achieve-
ments. For example". There wan
the busy executive with a hate
on against a business associate
but without time enough to push
his displeasure. So he called upon
■ Distinctive Personal Service to
■
heckle the fellow over phone,
luncheon table and wire.
Distracting Order
Delicate situation are delicately
handled. One day a stately and
beautiful woman walked into the
oifice and asked to see a statues-
que blonde capable of distracting
her husband awhile. Distinctive
Personal Service thought it over,
' uecided to take matters into its
own hands. Instead of supplying
a blonde for the customer’s spouse,
the customer was shipped to the
ft Trench Riviera. Her husband got
all the distraction he wanted.
S£ In fact there are all kinds of
. distracted husbands parading in
to consult about consolation gifts
• for wives waiting at home with
a rolang pin ready. The distaff
aide also has its dilemmas. There
was the recent case of the dis-
F tressed wife who absent-minded-1
REyf arranged a dinner engage-
ment wail her husband and a fit-
, ting at her courturier’s for seven
o’clock. Naturally she kept the
tatter appointment, got a Dis-
■ tinctive Personal Service damsel
to—trap with her husband. He
t.iade no squaks about it later.
"But Distinctive Personal Ser-
vice is pretty sloppy about its own

life. Forgets engagements, neglects
to take dinner and forgets umbrel-
las, packages anil rubbers. The last
time the head of Distinctive
Personal Service was supposed to
meet someone at Times Square nt
6 p.m., she was in Yonkers. Just
slipped her mind.
Accounting for Pro»perity
e' " The come-on man plying his
high-pressure talk in front of the
Bowery clothing store was at the
height of his spiel.
“On every suit we sell, gentle-
men,” he moaned eloquently, “we
lose $3.50.”
’ ‘Then how,” one of his bedrag-
gled listeners asked, “do you
! take up the loss?”
“Oh," the drag-’em-in-and knock
'em-down clothier shrugged, “we
juggle the books.”
I Bones Reveal Horror.
Crime in Dark Ages
ROME14 UP I — A mysterious
I * crime of! hundreds of years ago
was disdovered when workmen
were demolishing the 500-year-old
Roman hostel known as the Al-
bergo dell ’Oreo.
While one of the men was break-
1 Ing down an interior wall he un-
i • covered a bricked-up pitch. Get-
) ting his pickax, he pulled down the
b brickwork In one piece.
A human skeleton stood staring
L at him, and before he recovered
» from his surprise the skeleton,
p with arms upraised, pitched for-
“ ‘ ward as if to embrace him.
,+ It was then that his feliowwork-
' ere heard his cry of horror, but by
the time they had raised their fal-
t- let» comrade the skeleton had van-
t tahed, leaving only jawbones and
teeth and fragments of larger .
bones as evidence of its existence.
The blow of the fall and exposure
.. to the air h»ul disintegrated the
no clue to We]
ailed-up victim,
Some days ago the News carried an editorial para-
graph regarding some of the needs of our city. Since
then considerable comment has come from readers . . . .
some of it favorable and some unfavorable. Naturally this
was expected but as was stated in the article no personal
element entered into the argument, only an effort was be-
ing made to get some of the things done that should be
done in Henderson.
Monday was a hard day here. It was a hard day for
every citizen. It was a hard day for the officials on whose
shoulders rested the responsibility of keeping the conduct
of the city all smooth. In many respects this was done in
the nicest and most effective way at all. So far as reports
reaching the News were concerned there was not the
reaching the News were concerned there
slightest disorder throughout the day.
Perhaps the largest crowd ever in the city was here
Monday. >Every faculty was taxed to the limit but there
were many angles that might have been improved if traf-
fic rules and plans had been more definitely laid out.
It is probable that because of our dead end streets in
some Sections of the business district that a definite traf-
fic system would be somewhat difficult to work out . . .
still it is possible to work out a system of parking and
moving the traffic that will be satisfactory to the people
if such program were tackled. Nothing is impossible. Cer-
tainly this is true with reference to the traffic.
The News has suggested before, that our city officials
should secure the services of a man who through his ex-
perience is classed as an expert student of traffic prob-
fams, bring him to Henderson and turn-him loose on-our
job here was the assurance that his recommendations will
be moulded into a definite traffic system for the city when
his work is finished.
The News believes that when that is done Henderson
will have as smooth a traffic program as any city. Such as
undertaking would not run into much money . . , certainly
not much as compared with the needs . . . and most cer-
tainly the entire citizenship would pay the bills ... the city
council wouldn’t have to pay them. After all the News be-
lieves the citizenship should take a major consideration.
If the council continues to fail in working out or hav-
ing worked out a traffic system that will include certain
drastic traffic regulation in Henderson the News is inclin-
ed to concur in what this writer heard a certain citizen of
the city fiay just a few days ago. “We are going to pay the
bill one way or another, either in cash or blood.” .. . mean-
ing by that that if something is not done the law of aver-
ages will come into play . . . Some child or some adult will
be the victim . . . We have gotten by a long time, we can’t
escape the law of averages forever . . . Let’s not flirt with
a matter that can be so costly.

a variety of antiseptic solutions
depending on Chlorine as the chief
antiseptic Ingredient.
Among the most efficient of the
antiseptics are those depending
on mercury and phenol or car-
bolic acid. The phenol antiseptics
have the distinct smell of carbolic
acid or cresol.
All the mercury antiseptics are
dangerous poisons and, if they are
kept in the home, they should be
guarded carefully. Every bottle
containing such prepartions
should be marked “Poison.”
Then there is alcohol. Fifty per
cent alcohol is a good antiseptic
solution and serves all the pur-
poses of other antiseptics. How-
ever, plenty of soap and water is
equally valuable and soaps, such
as the tincture of green soap,
serve also as antiseptics in the
absence of other more pleasant
mixtures and combinations.
Finally, hydrogen peroxide so-
lution should be mentioned as a
fairly safe antiseptic substance.
When diluted one-half with water,
this makes a good cleaning so-
lution for wounds. And when you
must have a gargle, one part of
hydrogen peroxide to three of
water can bo used for this pur-
pose.
