erence to this particular committee.
(ienernlly. when a bill is referred
to the judiciary special commute of
tie Senate it is considered" to have
ended its career, unless it special and
particular reason shall b advanced tor
Its revivification. In this case the
judiciary special cominitlee, the "pick
ling committee. ' broke nil records and
dissipated Its traditions, for no sooner
was the bill received than It was re
ported out to the floor and passed on
tirst reading under another exception to
the general rules.
The bill comes up for second reading
in the Senate next Monday night. If

Hi n Klaff Conttpottdttit
Harrisbtirg, March 24. Revenue
legislation in the state Assembly Is in a
tangle so intricate that leaders of the
Senate and Houc despair of untangling
the knots.
Arrangements have been made for a
conference Dcxt week to be presided
over by Governor Sproul. at which it is
hoped to reach some kind of agreement
as to ways and means of getting the
needed additional revenue.
The conference will be attended Dy

Uouse.
The leaders realize that something
must be done qulcklv to allay the unrest

?iuc: f5' .,IW "H" and concede
that much of the talk about cxtendlnt
the term of the Legislature beyond April
28 arises from this state of unsettle
ment with respect to revenues.
House May .lump Trace
Despite all talk of tbe House being
controlled by this or that Interest, there
Is feeling that unless something tan
gible Is done the House may try to run
"away wjth- tbe situation" In short,
bring on with dramatic swiftness the
kind of killing Jam which Is feared and
anticipated for the clostng doys. of tht
session.

men tell no tales, so dead men cannot

Is said, In the language of an admin

who are getting something they did not

little less than that which they had not
expected to get." ,

Making Customers
Concerns of sue and age value most the creation
of permanent customers. ;
The motto of the old-time circus was "Get their
money and get them off the lot."
The difference in the point of view is a matter of
"repeat orders."
' We know a manufacturer of 6hoe-blacking whose
first appropriation was $7,000 for a year's advertis
ing. Within five years his annual expenditure of
earned money had'increased to $367,000.
To insure the success and permanent growth of
its customers, if for nothing else than self-interest,
great newspaper and magazine publishers recom
mend the services of competent advertisinir
agencies.
Our experience is at the command of those firms
whose business promises permanent success.
