The Romans are commonly credited
with the origin of the signboard. To-
day we have the bulletin board, which
corresponds to the Roman tabellae found
in the ruins of Pompeii and Hercula-
neum, where public announcements
were made.
Advertising met the same fate as
Romans did when the barbarOus Huns
came sweeping down from the north
Until the middle Ages very little of it
is seen. But with the appearance
again of the town crier, supplied with
the customary long -xinded declarations
and choice supply of adjectives, ad-
vertising began to make itself felt in
the conduct of business affairs. The
public criers began to organize them
selves both in France and in England
and they were persons with consider
able prestige.
From crying out the superior quail
ties of merchandise and all kinds of
goods and wares, the crier soon began
to make announcement of things lost
ard found, of sales, weddings, christ
enings and other interesting events.
Gradually, as time went on, inns be-
gan to use distinctive signs and symbols
to mark their hostelries, just as indi-
viduals had employed coats of arms.
All kinds of devses were used and are
still used by inns to the present day.
All such signs as the blue anchor, the
black dragon, the boars head, the red
lion and so on made definite represen-
tations and Implications.
OF course, with the development of
the printing press, advertising took a
great squirt. The use of posters came
into vogue, and all kinds of pamphlets
were printed and distributed. Print
ing gradually began to supersede the
hand-written manuscript. William
CaXton set up his press in Westmin-
ster Abbey in l471 and two centuries
later in 1922, newspaper was printed.
1t was called the Weekly News, and
purported to contain news of doings in
Germany, France, Hungary ard
Bohemia.
From then on newspapers, mostly
weekly publications, began to appear
from time to time in increasing num-
bers. Advertisements of medicines
began as early as 1900. The insertion
OF the first real newspaper advertise
ment, however, is credited to Nath-
aniel Butler. who advertised books.
The first two magazines to carry ado
vertisements were Godey's Lady Book
and Peterson's but it was not until the
appearance in 1864 of J. Walter Thomp-
son that magazine advertising really
began, and it was not until 1880 that a
general use was made of magazines for
advertising purposes.

EGYPTIAN WROTE
FIRST AID" COPY
Advertising Began 5000 Years Ago,
When Nile DweIIer Sought Lost Slave.

The Egyptian gentleman who sought
runaway slave 5000 years ago and
advertised on bit of papyrus for his
recovery turned out the first piece of
advertising copy.
Whoever he was, he was genius
in more than a small way. His copy
still lives, preserved in the British
Museum as an exhibit of consider able
archaeological importance and as an
example of what our advertising ex-
perts Of today would do if they, like
the Egyptian. did not have the bene-
fit of up-to-date information.
The Egyptian knew nothing about
the Typography of advertising, nor the
effect of different colors. He didn't
, know, for instance, that red is the
most effective eye-catching color and
that green is second and black third.
He didn't know that an advertise
ment could be made to appeal to the
mind or to the emotions; that various
words and phrases and numerous de-
wees may be used to affect the psY-
chJlogy Of persons in a particular way,
or that there is such a thing as eve
movement and that badly arranged
advertisement may be an eyesore.
We do not know whether he got the
slave back, but he deserved to.
With the DEVELOPMENT of community
life, DR., Herbert W. Hess tells US in bis
book on Productive Advertising, ad-
vertisinE commenced. Various human
desires began to develop and soon there
was competition among people to sup
ply tae thing that would satisfy this
desire, whether it care from hunger,
vanity, love of comfort or what not
AS communities developed into towns
and cities, those that had goods to dis
pose ofestablished permanent locations
SHOPS were opened; itinerancy lessen
ed. " The town crier began to yell out
the names if various wares and people
gradually became more and more dis
criminate in their purchases,
Finally, the written advertisement
came into being and, as has been stat
ed, an Egyptian landowner gets the
credit for writing the first ad
The Greeks usually made music a
part of the advertising program. They
gave US the idea of employing bands to
attract attention, undoubtedly one of
the most successful methods of drawing
a crowd at any place and time. The
Song pushers" who have come quite
frequently of late to tour the principal
street of our city in slow-moving
wagon, seeming hardly able to carry
the tuneIess piano inside, attempting to
popularize $4,000" songs, have the
Greeks to thank for the privilege of
imitation.

RetributiOn.

Continuing where left off last week,
let me say that by the laws of nature
God holds the evil doer to the rack.
The transgressor may repent. pray,
even censure himself. His friends may
condole with him, and he may hear the
promises of religion, and forgiveness,
but he cannot escape from those ordain-
ed penalties which fasten on him with
grip that nothing can relax.
He will realize the truth of Gods
word His bones are full of the sins of
his youth which shall lie down in the
dust with HIM" 1t is an memorable
law written in nature entering into the
very marrow of the bones and proves
that whatever man sows that shall he
reap.
Penalties sure and severe overtake
the workers of iniquity, penalties that
may begin in our earliest days. They
are seen on the school ground where the
boy cheats his playmates out of his
marbles, practices fraud in the games,
and for his meanness loses the conf
dence of his mates and is branded with
mark that may follow him through
life. So to-day the man who cheats his
neighbor, practices, fraud in business,
or is guilty of duplicitv for selfish ends,
though he escapes the clutches of the
civil law is nevertheless a marked man
and will reap his reward in the loss of
respect and honor and the blighting of
that which Solomon said was rather to
be chosen than great riches. just as
surely as the young man who breaks a
law of nature. The Divine laws and
ordinances will experience in his health,
body and mind the consequences of his
wrong doing.
1t does not follow that this is always
equal in it's operations at first. Sin is
not always Immediately punished at
first, nor are Its consequences always
visible. Many penalties are delayed.
but that does not argue that law ceases
when we cannot see the results.
1t still goes on until the time when
its fullest revelation will be seen in the
day of judgment. There are some
crimes that are not and cannot be visit
ed with retribution in this life. It was
not the design that retribution be an
expression of perfect justice, only such
a n easure of it as is necessary for the
continuation of the present economy.
Such restraint and penalty as will be
necessary to keep the mechanism from
distinction. Human governments no.

jects for which it is administered, while

RICHARD OFFERS,
$49,5OO FOR BIG
FISTIC ENCOUNTER

New York. Jan. 2o-Jack -Curley,
who has Jess Wizards signature to
fight Frank Moran here next April,
returned from Kansas City yesterday
and made it plain that if Moran
wishes to box Willard he must do 1t
on Curley's terms or not at all. 1t
is planned to hold the bout here be-

sites in view, including Ebbets Field
and Washington Park in Brooklyn
Both of these baseball parks will &C
commodate large crowds. Both parks
have been equipped with electric
lights.
Moran and his manager, Ike Dor
gan, stated yesterday that they had
decided to cast their lot with Tex
Rickard, but now that Curley has the
option on Wizards services, 1T is not
believed that Richard will have a
chance to get the bout Yesterday
before the news came from Jones that
Cur1ey would promote the fight, Kick
ard and his partner, McCracken, as
sured Moran that they would in
crease his guarantee to $4,000
Curley stated yesterday: Willard
will not be dictated to by Moran, VINO
says he wants the fight held In March

as it does to Richard, and if he can
run it, pay Willard $50, 500 and Moran

would be worth it.

YALE AT HOCKEY
IN ROUGH BATTLE

New York. Jan. 2o.-sauperior com
binatton play and better genera1ship
gave Princeton's veteran hockey team
a to / triumph over the Yale seven
at St. Nicholas rink last night. in the
arst of their annual three-game
series, There is not much glory in
the victory for the Tigers, for the
exhibition was the poorest seen at the
local rink this season. Neither team
dispIaved the knowledge OF hockey
that would be expected Of squads con-
tending for the mythical champion
ship, and there were only a few mo-
ments when either side developed
good team play.
Roughness was rampant through
nut the exhibition, but only one pen
atty was inflicted. Burgess, captain
of Yale, was sent off the ice for two
minutes in the second period for
sIasljng. but his absence came at a.
time when Prfnceton's play had slow
ed up considerably, and was not dam
aging to his teams chances
Throughout the first Commute half
neither team could penetrate its OPP
.ponents' net but Yale was saved from
being scored upon only through the
Wonderful goal defense of Yorke-
E,irbteen times Princeton players
drove the puck with tremendous force
against the Yale goal keeper, and
just that many times the FuODef was
diverted by Yorke-
His play was really brilliant, and
WA i. conspicuous in the opening per-
Tod 1t was not his fault that Prince
ton scored twice in the second period,
but rather than of his back line,
which failed to support him at two
critical stages. Even more brilliant
was Yorke's feat in the second period.
when he turned off 10 efforts of
Princeton players to drive the puck
past him into the net It was a
stonewalI defense that Yorke offered.
despite the fact that it was penetrated
twice.
