 Late last night some Eli freshmen stole over to the Harvard quarters with pot of paint intending to dec- crate the Crimson a bright blue. They were intercepted at the shore and but for the intercession of Coach Arthur Deane of the Harvarmd freshmen would have been Summarily dealt with. He was inclined to accept the possible truth of their story that they only came visiting, as the paint had mysteriously disappeared, and he dis suaded the Harvard squal from con- mitting violence.
 Later still the Yale freshmen re- turned and this time succeeded in sdaubing the Harvard landing literally with the color of Yale. As protest against his bad judgment, members of the freshman crew promptly tossed Coach Deane tito the cool waters of the Thames, on Friday. While the Yale squad was busy with the ball game. some daring Harvard oarsman painted a brilliant red sign, "20 to O. on the Yale landing.

Ruth!ess Destruction of sooks.

Napoleon was indirectly responsible for the destruction of a vast quantity of books. In 1872 he framed law al- lowing goods to be imported from the United Kingdom, provided that the importer shipped an equivalent quan- tity of French goods to this country. French merchants generally met the requirements of this law by shipping books to the value of the wares they wished to import. Having served to gain the necessary permit, the books were thrown overheard on the way to England as there was no demand for them here. Shippers could well afford to do this, for coffee and sugar were then about ten times dearer in France than in England. It has been esti- mated that books to the nominal value of four million dollars were destroyed in this way.

ETIQUETTE"
 IN ADVERTISING

Up to within the last few years it has been considered a breach of etiquette in certain business and professions to advertise.
 These men have said: "Oh, yes, advertising is all very well for the butcher, the baker, the can dlestick maker, but it would not do at all for us. It is not good business ethics"
 In later years, however. that idea is being abandoned. together with a lot of other old and worn out. theories.
 The public now looks to the advertising section of the good newspapers for information on all subjects. The demand has created the supply
 People want to know not only where they can spend their money, but where and how to invest it. This has led bankers, brokers, and other business and professional men to tell their stories in the best newspapers.
 The advertising pages of newspaper like THE BULLETIN are a veritable index of most lines of business activity in this community, and the day is not far distant when every legiti- mate business and every recog- nized profession will understand the value of advertising.
