Attorney General Schaffer has looked
up the laws on the question and Is said
to hae prepared the probe resolution.
If the operators rescind the order for
the proposed Increase in price, the reso

Representath e Leopold C CJlas, of

efforts to Bet an Inquiry into coal and

calling- up his bill which would provide
Lfor the appointment of a commission by

troduced a concurrent resolution which
proposes the same thing
The resolution does not can-v an ap

'Last Great Minstrel,' Singer's
Eulogy of Former Com
rade Who Fell Dead
t hauncey Oleott, commenting today
on the death of Frank Dumont, "dean
of minstrelsy," described his former fel
low actor as 'the last great minstrel"
Mr. Oleott was associated with Mr
Dumont In minstrel shows hero so long
ago that he refused to discuss dates
But In the heyday of the minstrel show
which Mr Dumont made a permanent
Philadelphia Institution, Mr. Oleott nnd
the dead minstrel man played together
for two enrs at the old Hleventh Street
Opera House.
"Dumont was the last of the great
minstrel showmen, the last of a genera
tion of players who amused our grand
fathers and our children with blackface
burlesques on tho passing events," Mr.
Oleott commented
"Ho was one of the most charming
men that ever lived, nnd every lime you
saw him he was the same sweet old
thing He possessed nn extraordinarily
gentle nature. )
"Philadelphia la the only city In the
United States that will support a min
strel show the year round. Dumont was
entirely up to the times in his theatre
But some one must be found to con
tinue the traditions of the famous Carn
cross minstrels now that he is gone, If
the minstrel, as Dumont made It. Is to
live. Dumont wrote hundreds of bur
lesques nnd they were always clean and
wholerome. He was a charming man and
the last of tho great minstrels"
Mr. Dumont fell dead In the box of
fice of his theatre at Ninth and Arch
streets jesterday just as the curtain
rose for the dally matinee
Succumbs to Trolley Injnrie"

streets Tho police believe the man at
tempted to cros the Btreet and did not
see the car. His right leg was badly

What It Costs
To Advertise
The cost of successful advertising on a national
scale is amazingly small. ,
If you were io spend one cent per family per year
for advertising, your expenditure for the year would be
about $220,000. tl
The average total expenditure for advertising space
(in fifty-six leading magazines) is less than one-quarter
of this sum.
In other words, the average national advertiser buys
less than $50,000 worth of space per year, or less than
one-quarter of a cent per family in the United States.
1 The largest user of space spends about a million
per year in national publications five cents per family
or one cent per person in that family. ,
This advertiser does a business of about $120,000,000
per year or a sale per family of $5 one dollar per
person.
Of course an advertising appropriation includes ex
penditures in addition to the cost of space that are
most necessary but relatively small in amount.
Good advertising pays.
Advertising space in the Butterick publicatims
is for sale by accredited advertising agencies.
