The Anglo Patagonisn stranded on
a candy beach in the fog last night.

are advertisers Of food to make their
publicity conform with tho govern
ment's desires.
Already the food advertisers them
selves have pledged their support to
i the food administration. and pre-
viously many Of them have been in
Washington by request from Herbert
Hoover. In coming here to get sug-
gestions the representatives OF ad-
vertising firms which handle their

rate intelligently with their clients as

Ethical Aspect Discussed.
Already the ethical aspect Of adver-
Using has become generally recog-
