is not only to the wrongful meth-
ods which the advertisers are pur-
suing, but also to the types of ad-
vertising. A larger and larger num-
ber of newspaper and magazine
publishers are inaugurating exclus-
ive advertising, and employ agents
to investigate the merits of every
product for which space in their
periodicals is requested. Outstand-
ing in this work are the Kansas
City Star, the Chicago News, the
New York Times, the New York
Sun, and the publications of the
Curtis company.
The disregard of ethics among
the members of the professions in
the matter of advertising is a more
uncertain matter. Whether such
activities are merely wrong from
opinion or from tradition, or whe-
ther they should be respected as
maintaining the dignity and posi-
tion of the group, has not been de-f
cided. At least, we may say, that
it is not a procedure to be favored
or promoted.

The library fountain on the first
floor is somewhat better, and if you
really want a good draught, go
down to the one in the basement
by the elevator.
The two diagonal walk fountains
are rather bad, we prefer the one
in the middle of the campus to the
one down by State street where the
stone benches are and upon whichf
you never see any one sitting ex-,
cept grad students talking philos-
ophy laconically about nine at'
night. (Occasionally you see bi-
ology students trying to appeari
nonchalent and still not go too far
right out there in public), but tak-
en all in all, the central campus
fountain is much more interesting
and the water is better, best on the
north and west sides. We may be
seen drinking there-like Pegasus

enough personality for one column

ADVERTISING
The announcement that the pos
tal authorities are conducting a
investigation of tnh practices p
influential advertisers in coercini
newspapers to print news advertise
ments for them marks a step to
ward cleaner and more accurat
newswriting. It evidences a real in
terest on the part of the publishers
who made the original complaint
in the kind and quality of the
stories which they offered for th
consumption of the public.
The manner in which certaiI
businesses and industries hav
been forcing the journals to prin
this illicit advertising is character.
istic of the methods used by a
great many today in violation o
the unwritten code of advertising
The enormous power of this me-
dium in, influencing the public
mind has made individuals and or-
ganizations forget their ethics in
a mad scramble to push their ideas
before the eyes of the people.
We may consider, as a first in-
stance, the loss of eminence and
dignity which has come to the pro-
fessions of law, medicine, and den-
tistry from this source. Individual
physicians and organizations of
medical men in the larger cities are
running page advertisments in the
metropolitan dailies, and are bla-
zoning their names and callings in
electric signs on their offices. While
no single firm of lawyers has been
guilty of a direct breach of the
rule, there have been numerous in-
stances of publicity-chasing not
compatible with the general tone
of the profession. In addition,
trust companies and similar asso-
ciations, who are engaged in what
amounts to legal work, have cer-
tainly cast aside all reserve in pro-
moting their activities. Many den-
tists have followed the lead of phy-
sicians of the type mentioned
above, and have raised monument-
al memorials to painless dentistry.
Of course, this is only one aspect
of the matter. We might mention
misleading advertising, advertising
unfair to competitors, and adver-
tising to create favor for a wrong-
ful or improper enterprise. Not long
ago a spokesman for the Society of
Physicians and Surgeons disclosed
the fact that a very large propor-
tion of the patent remedies and
medicines on the market were ei-
ther of the "Tono Bungay' variety
or were made of simple ingredients
of commen knowledge under new
and alluring names. These medi-
cines naturally sold in case lots, be-
cause of the sublime faith which
the public has in advertising and
the enormous psychological influ-
ence of billboards and display post-

PRIZE FIGHTS,
CAFES, 'NEVERYTHING
At the Wuerth theatre: Fanny
Brice in "Be Yourself" with Robert
Armstrong and Harry Green. Closes
Thursday. Also "Big Time Charlie,"
"Sporting Youth," and Fox Movie-
tone News.
A questionable virtue of the talk-
ing picture is that it creates a de-
mand for night clubs, musical com-
edy stages, cafes, or what have you
as a background for song and
dance performers who go Holly-
wood. Not that we dislike Fanny
Brice. Her performance was amus-
ing. And two of her songs were
rather good bits-probably because
the recording was bad enough that
we couldn't hear the words. But
our prejudice against night club
scenes has been so aggravated
since the beginning of "talkies"
that someday we are going to
[break down and become an en-.
forcement officer to get rid of the
things; we are' just that kind.
More than that there isn't a great
deal to be said. The story concerns;
a prize fighting bum who was re-
incarnated by a wise-cracking cafe
entertainer who had fallen in love
the linotype machine. The article,
I as we remember discovering too
late for change, should have read
36 children instead of 336.
In which case we suppose Ben-
zene would say, "Let the old boy
stay if he wants to."

Something must be done about
the Ann Arbor water supply, we
feel. The town council or commis-
sion or body of whatever it is that
gets together at the Court House
once a fortnight or so and spends
two hours and more thinking up
deliberations and resolutions to be
printed in the newspapers next
day has been talking about it for
a long time. Now it is time for
some definite action to be taken.
This column would welcome any
suggestions from interested sources
as a method for remedying Ann
Arbor's hard water supply, or bet-
ter, its supply of hard water.
Any body who has ever tried to
get a refreshing drink these hot
days on the campus or off will know
what misfortune awaits him.
Thinking it over, there are very
few places on the campus where
one can even bear the smell of the
water. For instance, about the
worst fountain anywhere is the one
in the library on the second floor
next to the elevator doors-just as
you go into the magazine room,
that's right. Countless times we
have arisen from a perusal of the
National Geographic, the Photo-
Art magazine, or the Tokio Daily-

Norway is sure great. Lots of
snow and skiiing (personally
we always thought it was skiii-
ing). I froze my ear day before
yesterday and am having a hxll
of a time with chilblains. Lots
of fun, though, and wish you
were here. P. S. Are you hav-
ing much hot weather back
home?
When MEANY gets back we're
planning the nicest little party for
him you ever heard of. We are ask-
ing to it all our intimate friends
who have steam rollers and trip
hammers and pile drivers and are
planning to roll his steam and
hammer his trip and -well, we're
planning, you can just bet. Right
now, we're negotiating with Ed
(Strangler) Lewis to act as master
of ceremonies.

Using exactly the same
