ADVERTISING TALKS.

president said:
"If we didn't use every paper,
those we left off the list would
Immediately denounce and crit
icise u.s."
This idea of giving advertis-
ing to newspapers to STOP
CRITICISM is absurd in these
enlightened days. Newspapers
criticise things that deserve
criticism, AS A MATTER OF
DUTY to the public-not be-
cause they do not get advertis-
ing from the firms they crticise.
If a corporation starts to adj
vertise with the idea that by do
ing so. it Restraints PAPERS
FROM PUBLISHING FACTS
about it, then it had better not
advertise at all.
But if it wants to advertise.
the way to do it is to go at in in
a BUSINESS-LIKE MANNER,
lust as any individual or mer-
chant would go at it-viz.,
SELECT SUCH PAPERS AS
ARE READ BY THE PEOPLE
THE CORPORATION WANTS
TO REACH and in accordance
with the amount it is decided 70
spend.
Then, if the campaign proves
successful, add other papers
from time to time.
If were running a corpora
ton, / would REPRINT EVERY
CRITICISM IN AN ADVER-
TISEMENT, and along side of
the criticism / would PRINT
MY ANSWER THERETO; then
let the people judge.
The people can be depended
upon to decide fairly between
unjust criticism and facts-and
corporations can reach the peo-
pie through the advertising col
umns of the daily newspaper.

from the dollar prejudiced Judgment
of the theater manager to the literary
public.
The Woman Who Could" by Howard
v. Sutherland, we suspect was pub
lished for the latter reason, because
IL seems to- lack the dramatic element
which Is necessary to a good stage
play IL Is q story OF society life and
deals chiefly with the duties Of wo-
men In their homes, the vices OF so
ciety and some kindred themes that
are quite popular In these days OF the
public's awakening. There Is a crash
In Wallst. which gives the principal
characters such a scare that they re-
solve TO live within their means in
the future and cultivate the simple
home virtues that have been forget
ten In the money-mad society and
business whirl. There are some
things that are rather curious about
the way the business problem Is
worked out, but perhaps we should
not expect too intimate knowledge
OF business affairs from playwright.
The manager who had this play to
look over probably said that the char
acters lacked individuality and that
the conversation was too much on the
order OF responsive tabloid sermons;
and we are inclined to think that the
manager was right. We may also
add that these are not altogether
damning faults IL we are TO judge by
some OF the plays that have reached
production.
II is q step In the right direction,
however tO regard plays as uteratitra.

will develop an art OF the theater

pentry.

coLoRs AND VISION.

The Human Eye and the Mystery Of
Distinguishing Hues.
1t is a curious fact that while there
are seven colors in the rainbow-red.
orange. yellow. green. blue. indigo and
violet-only three Of them are primary
red. green and violet That is to say.
these three appear to be simple colors.
while all the others may be produced
by various combinations Of these three
Red and green combine in certain pro
portions to produce yellow In diff
ferent proportion the two produce OF.
ange. Again, green and violet combine
to produce blue. 1t is said all shades
Of color are merely different combins-
tons Of the three primaries.
In keeping with this fact some Of
the ablest writer's have held that there
are three nerves. and but three, ffl the
human cyclone to respond to the color
red, another to green and yet another
to violet Other authorities present a
different explanation. In the eye Of the
frog In the act Of seeing there is a Wis
ible chemical action. There Is a chem.
ieal substance exuded or spread over
the retina or interior Of the eye Of the
frog. called purpurine because of its
purple color Under the action Of light
this substance bleaches white.
; Many today believe That the human
eye has truly bnt a single optic nerve,
for surgeons seem able TO End but one.
They hold, however. that in our act Of
seeing n chemical substance Is exuded
or spread over this nerve and that this
substance has three different constitu-
ents. one element 10 II responding to
the color red. another TO green and yet
another to violet. These latter authori-
ties dispense with the three special
optic nerves by providing our eyes
with threefold chemical substance.

shown how to reach that standard. for
which be was awarded compensation
In addition to bis usual days pay.
The system may be described in
general way as follows: A card Is
made out showing 10 detail the best
method we can devise OF performing
each Of the elementary operations on
any piece Of work. specifying the
time needed for each Of these opera
tons as determined by experiments
The sum Of these times Is the total

tinuully see whether be Is earning
