Tuesday, August 26, 1930. The Billboard War The American Institute of Architects finds that the number of signboards, billboards and other advertising devices along roads, highways and boulevards is increasing steadily in this country. It is asking all its chapters to organize public opinion in their districts to check the "selfish desecration of the Also to seek legal assistance through' legisla- hire in the various states. This is a natural and appropriate task for architects, in collaboration with other artistic-souled groups. What is the designing beautiful homes and other buildings if their environment is to be spoiled by ugly or inappropriate commercial appeals? It is about time there was a general show-down on this matter.

Is selfish commercialism to have its own way, regardless of other civilized values? Is business everything? Are citizens and business firms to be allowed indefinitely to mess up both city and country by a chaotic mess of advertising matter? It isn't even good business, either, as enlightened business men are coming to see. Whatever publicity value they get TUESDAY, AUGUST THE COURIER fl flourished at Hampton Beach ye good olde days" was the sa't works. With saif abundant at everv grocery corner in these days, gettfaji money from the sea would hardly appeal to those who want to get rich i i i i i from their billboard broadcasting could usually be got better in some other way, costing no more and doing no damage. As regards the community, the merely practical value of TM beauty has never yet. been fully, appreciated.

We go abroad Banburv to see beautiful scenery that has never been spoiled, and we Rev Fre spoil our own at home. If we used common business sense, In 1827, David Nudd determined to tart a new venture which consisted of getting salt from the sea. Xarge amounts bl salt were hips came i to Hampton from theflsa- ng banks with large hauls to be salt- and cured The so-cane'd "salt works" Were nd for many years Mr. Nudd extracv- the salt from the ocean, the tola' utput being about 1200 bushels pei ear. The salt was extracted by drawing the water into a trench end umping it into vats by the use of mdmills and allowed to In 1840 the works had to be ahaii- doned as the cheapness of salt fold leather straps of the' thickest steer hide, a contrivance rithei to ease the shock of a-'" bump to thfj horses than to give the travelers' gentle dreams.

'A apparently a light thing of beauty and dignity and Captain Banning wrote of the Concord coach.

He would have it distributed among the stricken farmers to feed their livestock. It is hard to judge that proposal offhand.

There is a short- age of stock feed, and stock must be fed if it is not to starve i to death, or else flood the present market, making a meat surplus and a meat famine the next few years. That store of wheat in itself is a problem. We night say, without intending to be funny, that another good use for it, if the thing could be done, would be to feed the 75,000,000 bushels to the women and girls who are i starving themselves in the drama of health and beauty diets. i Smoking Girls i Seventy-six girl students in Parsons College Summer School, in Iowa, were asked this question: "Do you i that a girl who smokes can get as good (not in the sense pious, but worth-while) husband as one who doesn't?" Thirteen of them said she could. One of the 13 elaborate the idea thus: "She can get just as good a husband if -sh smokes, because any man who would judge a person on sucf i a question would not be much good." Which is clever, bu may be dodging the question.

The other 63 students thought matrimonial 'prospects wen better for the girl who didn't smoke. No less interesting is the. response they gave to the ques 1 tion of motives for smoking. Only -10 of them, we're told said that they smoked for pleasure. Can it be that the othe smokers smoke from a sense of duty? the proposition an one.

Few children, and possible many adults, who have recited the well- known nursery rhyme "Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross to see an old lady ride on a white horse; with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, she'll make music wherever she goes," knew that there was such a place as and a Banbury Cross. Frederick Viggers who has beer, supplying the pulpit of the East Rochester Advent Christian church in the place of the regular pastor, resided' about four miles from Banbury and became a convert to Christianity then' 51 years ago. Banbury, according to Mr. Viggers is located on the Cherwell River about 15 miles north of Bicester Ox- fordshire, England, arid is noted for the manufacture of agriculture implements, sacking, ropes, bricks and tilej and malting and- brewing industries. ward into the mountains; eventually Shey found bumpy roads pve the mountains, and almost simultaneously with the pony express, linked East and They blazed a traU that the railroads followed.

1905) "The envoys of Japan and 'Russia will meet in the general store building at the navy yard this afternoon'. 'Ii is expected that the meeting will be at once adjourned. The eagerly awaited crisis will thus once more be avoided. "Gloom prevailed last night at Hotel Wentworth, New Castle. Few could be found who were willing" to predict a.

final agreement between Russia and Japan. There was apparently as little reason for this feeling as for the wave of hopefulness which swept over the unofficial ob- jervers of events the day before. Tlie of obtaining a correct statement from either side made all opinions merely a matter of the individual viewpoint. Well informed men were able to advance clever arguments in support of their views, but oo one had definite knowledge on cvhich to base an opinion. "A point in the negotiations was reached last Wednesday which made secrecy more important than ever and only vague hints were dropped by members of the Russian embassy.

The Japanese said nothing at all. the two embassies are not at all It is not often that they ask for things not provided to every gues of. the Wentworth Hot-el at New Castle. They have not yet given out anj of the. princely tips they are said to have dispensed at other places, but they, have been very generous and have displayed a gratifying "willingness to reward who serve them.

They come to town in their automobiles nearly every 'day when there is no diplomatic business demanding attention and evidently derive much pleasure from these visits. Every member of the Russian embassy is delighted with Portsmouth." PAFC 1 A GOES BACK Attleboro, Aug. 26--Overcome once and revived, James Campbell, 43. went a second time into a room he wa.s fumigating with sulphuric acid yectcr- day and was suffocated by ihe fumes. William Heffernan, a lodger at the louse where Campbell was working, bund him unconscious the first time and took him outdoors.

He was re- rived by a physician, who warned him: not to re-enter the room. Campbell disregarded the warning When a boy, Mr. Viggers told the congregation, he frequently walked four miles to Banbury to get a pound of tea for his mother, the price be- ng a half-penny. On nearly every visit as a boy, young Viggers would visit the statue of the lady and the white horse, carved out of marble, that stood in the square, and put his arms about the neck of the lady with her rings and bells as described in the nursery jingle. Of late years the cross has disappeared'.

It was erected by the crown and each year a royal appropriation was made for its upkeep. After buying the young Viggers would visit a shop, and buy a Banbury cake. The celebrated Banbury cake has had a reputation in the town since 1608. The recipe has been in one family for 1000 years and even the king and queen do not know what into making of this widely-known honey confection; Mr. Viggers was for merly connected with the newspaper industry, being employed for over 20 years in the stereotyping department of the Springfield Republican, and for a number of -years was in charge of the- department.
