In answer to the question, what
class OF advertising pays best
Miss Lillian Lewis said: 1.-THE ef-
ticiency OF newspaper advertising
cannot be questioned" Miss Lewis

on theatr:cals as any man or wo.
man in tho business. "This season
l have big spectacular production
OF Cleopatra and l have given
newspaper advertising a good trial
and l find it pays. In my opinion,
the efficiency OF advertising, if
classified, goes about like this:
"First in Importance and benefit
or harm, as the case may be, is the
newspapers opinion expressed in
the form Of criticism. For this
reason the newspaper should never
be violent in condemning any
'show'-as it is called-because
such condemnation is liable to kill

1t is almost incredible. But still
it isa fact. and the reviews of the
Tex as critics were no small factor
In building up this enormous bust
ness. OF course Teleopatra Is a
tremendously splendid production,
but at the same time the news
paper is the medium through
which the public is informed Of
the quality Of production. The
review of a play is new for the
readers Of the newspapers, but at
the same time it is advertising for
the attraction so reviewed.
Next in Importance is what has
come to be called the advance no.
tice. This also Is news and gives
the public information regarding
the character Of the play about to
be presented. The display ad. in
the newspaper Is the best and
cheapest mode of paid for adver-
Using, because it is placed in the
hands and before the eyes Of the
public; so that the newspaper is
really not only an efficient adver-
Using but distributing medium
as well. Money invested in news
paper advertising l have discover
ed to be good investmest, and
have found my receipts increased
with the size OF my ad."

Certain Analogies,

MOlting has its analogy throughout
the animal kingdom. We indeed molt
invisibly, are continuously shedding our
scales, but there are some animals that
get through this process even more quick
ly than do birds-as, for instance. the
shedding Of the skin as a whole by the
newt, eft ard snake.
Sir James Paget has noted that some
people have few extra long hairs grow
ing out from the general mass of the
eyebrows. The few long hairs are repre-
sentatives of permanent condition in
the chimpanzee and some baboons. They
grow out separately from the general
hairy mass over the superciliary ridges
Darwin notes as significant fact that
the palms of the hands and the soles of
the feet Of man are quite naked Of hairs,
like the inferior surfaces Of all four ex-
tremities in most Of the lower animals.
Something about the ear: The lobule
Of the ear is peculiar to man. There is,
however, a rudiment of it in the gorilla.
Happy gorilla-and mani
About the brain Of man and apes: The
whole comparison is one Of degree. and
in the case of the bushman's brain with
that Of a well developed ape the com
parison becomes nearly equal. Intruth,
there are no specific distinctions between
the brain Of the ape and that of man.
