by persons not members OF the or

the drastic piece of legislation they
considered il. the prohibition is very
much more narrow than they sup
posed. and is confined 10 men who
from their apparent age could by
its aid palm themselves off on the
veterans as members of the Grand
Army.
AS a matter of fact the status sim

designing persons and does not pro-
hibit the wearing of the button by
unauthorized persons except as they
use It in an attempt 10 obtain aid
in one way or another from mem

about $50 girls taking sewing and

following data is collected from an

Out Of 20 girls answering, six
said that they did not like to sew;
two, that they did not like to cook.
To the question, do you help

SCHOOL," "A answered that they did
more; l 5 that they helped the same,
and three that they did not help at

One girl in the eighth grade said.

From our wealth of experience we've
evolved new science, called Strategy
in Advertising. 1t consists of countless
ideas which men have found profitable,
distilled into accurate rules.
1t solves the best way to get wide dis
tribution, to avoid substitution, to
meet hard competition.
1t shows how to do quickly what once
took years how to do cheaply what
once was expensive-how to do safely
what once involved risk.
1t has made an exact science of adj
vertising, as nearly as seems to be pos
sible. 1t has formed. the foundation of
