300 American publishers In conference
this week In tho Waldorf-Astoria, In the
annual convention of tho American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
Tho situation which confronts all pub
Ushers was epl'tbmlred at yesterday's
session In a' valedictory nddrcss by
Prank P. Glass, who, relinquishing the
presidency of the association, warned
his associates to practise tie sharpest
economy until conditions Improve.
"If you havo been savlnc newsprint of Freeholders has decided to conform

ment In advertising, among other things.
Vet, Mr. (ilnss declared, there had been
n few publishers last year who, when
bad weather conditions and difficulty In
railroad tranrportation prevailed, had
bid one against the other for advertising
nnd had sept tho price of newsprint
soaring.
Nundnr Comic. In Jeopardy,
Paper, labor, advertising and postage
wero tho subjects discussed nt yester
day's conference. Among the proposals
made were, that comic and other news
paper features bn eliminated for a while:
that the vast amount of material sent
yearly to newspapers by publicity scok-
crB be disregarded, and tho newspapers
refuse the ndvertlslng of non-ossentlals.
Other suggestions were that newspapers
conserve space In their columns and ec
save newsprint paper by reducing tht
site of heads nnd the size of typo used
In display advertising.
Many of tho newspaper owners who

In the conventions nf the publishers'

work which they have never studied and
which they do not understand.

has begun a campaign of advertising

who enrolled as the newest recruits In

of which were well rolled up above their
high heeled P'i..ips, the young women
created a mild sensation and soon ac

Multicolored shirt waists and silk stock

Assistant Postmaster-General Koons
issued an order Instructing nil city post
masters to permit letter carriers, when
a majority so desire, to wear gtay over

that they must be "laundered at least
once a week."
In Princeton University the Senior
