_ADVERTISE
“Advertise in newspapers. Use the newspapers in
preference to all others forms of advertising at this time,
for the burden of the newspaper message of today is clos
est to the people’s hearts.’’
This is the message that has gone out from one of the
largest automobile manufacturers to its several hundred
distributors and dealers throughout the United States.
“The minds of the people are turned toward the daily
happenings and, therefore, toward the daily newspaper.
Newspapers are the dominant interests of the nation.
“Millions of eyes search its columns. Edition after
edition, filled with history, making reports from all parts
ot the world, come all day long from the newspaper
presses. And all are eagerly read. Therefore automobile
advertising should appear in them more than ever.
“The hotel guest hears the newspaper falling through
his transom in the gray. Formerly he let it lie until he
-was dressed. Now he jumps up to read it. The house
holder eagerly seizes the morning paper. Newspaper!
circulation has jumped by thousands. And readers no
longer turn first to the comics and sport section. World
events more thrilling than any fiction the magazines can
buy have captured the primary interest of the public.
“The newspaper right now is the most effective me
dium possible to tell the motor car story. Readers now
turn to magazines not for stimulation, but for a mild di
gest of news they have already learned from the news
papers. Their minds are not receptive, but digestive,
satiated. The story will reach them when the intellect is
sparkling.”

4 SHE LIKES WHALE MEAT
Mrs. S. Bernardi Jeffery, one of a number of Nome
ites who were having a luncheon of whale meat at a Se
attle restaurant recently, gave the following desertatioil
on the use of the big sea manml for food:
“Well, 1 can’t see, for the life of me, why people should
refuse to add whale meat to their menu. The whale lives
in a clean place, far superior to a hog wallow. It is not a
hsh, but a warm-blooded mammal, and does not even eat
-ish. At least the Arctic whale doesn’t. It eats only a
tiny jellyfish. It caches these by taking into its mouth
barrels of water, which it strains through the slabs of
whalebone suspended instead of teeth from its jawbone.
“You know there is quite a difference in the palat
ableness o: a fat, young beef and an old wornout lean
dairy cow. Then you must remember that whales live to
be hundreds of years old, and if they get tough in propor
tion to their years you will have to ask your butcher to
be sure to send you young whale meat.
“Now, for those recipes. While my brother and my
self were at Cape Pi ince of Wales, on Bering straits, the
Eskimos killed eight whales in seven days. Several were
;oung whales, twenty to thirty fet long. The tongue is
considered the daintiest bit. This can be eaten broiled
and roasted. My share of the whale meat was a steak,
I've feet in diameter. The meat was coarse grained, but
this defect was eliminated by running it through a meat
grinder. I then seasoned it with salt, pepper and a touch
of onion and cooked and served it like hamburger. We
seldom ate it except in hamburger, meat loaf or cro
quettes. I iiked it just as well as beef.
“I think only prejudice or ill-luck in not getting a
young animal could keep whale meat from becoming pop
ular. Of course, it will never displace spring chicken,
sweetbreads and lamb chops.”
Mrs. Jeffery has spent ten years collecting the folk
lore and unwritten history of the Siberian and Alaskan
Eskimos. . _ _.. .. * a »

District Attorney Smiscr has filed,

that the judge was swayed by politi
