THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get :

e By JESSIE ROBERTS :
MODERN ADVERTISING

A DVERTISING today is very friend.
"A ly to women. Women are doing
a great deal of 1t and doing it we'll.
There is no discrimination in that busi-
ness-at least against woman per Sc.
She gets paid for what she does, not
for what she is.
There are many sorts of advertising,
and women are In all of them. The
artist who makes the pictures that
make the ad go is about as often q
woman as man. And woman writes
as many ads 6s her brother.
Some women already are managing
advertising offices of their own, and
many are acting as advertising agents.
Some cOnfine themselves entirely to
one form of advertising, specializing
on magazine or newspaper ads, or dis
play ads. Others take orders from
any firm or individual and suggest the
medium best suited, afterwards plac-
ing the ad where IL will do the most
good, in the form to which It is best
adapted.

they realize that a woman will un-
derstand how to talk to other women
In way to interest and convince them
on subjects that are distinctly hers.
But advertising is not hit-or-miss
thing, which you can take up at
days notice. Like anything at which
people earn money, 1t takes time and
hard work and training. There ere
fundamental principles that must be
understood, there are intricate ques-
lions concerning colors, types, ex-
penses, effects on the eye or the ear,
appropriateness. The woman who
wants to become successful advtr-
tiseI. whatever branch she may choose,
ought to know something, at least, Of
all branches. She should know the cost
Of producing what she draws or
writes, she should know what types
best suit her picture, or whether or not
Illustration will help her write-up.
She must understand the psychology of
advertising.

| people of this State, and for q sense
among all people and all classes that
! justice will prevail, and that equal
!, opportunity is to be had in all lines OF
endeavor.
We realize that the safety of the
republic rests in the education Of its
! citizens. and we heartily indorse any
and all measures Of congress or our
State legislature tending to aid our
common schools in. driving illiteracy
! from our midst, and giving to our
people full and free education and fit
ting them for life. No taxation is
burdensome which brings about intel
ngence and efficiency among our citi-
zenship.
We view with satisfa ction the prog
ress which is being made in this State
in the building Of highways, especial
ly permanent highways. and we COM
mend those acts which have been
passed in congress and by our State
legislature looking to the extension of
this work.
Open Southern Ports.
We commend the action of the. Ma
tional Shipping Board which seeks TO
open our South Atlantic and Gulf
ports, thus relieving the congestion OF
the ports in the North. and We de-
lnand that the interstate commerce
commission see to it that the railroads
of the country shall not return to the
old policy of enabling them to bottle
up the ports of one section of the
country and open those of another by
the imposition Of unjust discrinina-
tory rates The action of. the Inter
state Commerce Commission in this
respect meets with our hearty APPROX
al. There should be further legisla-
ton allocating to Southern ports
sufficient number Of ships to carry
the commerce which naturally gray
itates to them, giving us rapid CON-
munication with Latin America and
transatlantic countries. We seek no
sectional advantage. but place our de-
mauds upon the broad ground Of Civ
ing to the nation facilities for the
transportation of their produce and
commerce heretofore denied them.
In conclusion, with record that Isl
with a guarantee OF
