 Seen Differently
 by the Two Sexes

Austin, Tex, Feb. 2S.-An interest ing study of the psychology of news paper and magazine advertising has just been conducted by the class in business psychology of the Univer- sity of Texas, under the direction of Dr. T. R. Garth, adjunct professor of psychology. Tests were made of the students as to the appeals of advertisements of certain business concerns of national prominence. In judging these appeals as to good and bad, 50 students were tested The advertisements judged by the stu dents, who were acting in the ca pacity of the general public, con sisted of those featuring baking pow der, toilet soaps, photographs and silver plate wares.
 The results showed that the men and women students did not agree as to the results. The first dis agreement came over the baking powder advertisement; whether or not the results obtained here should be classed as sex differences remains to be seen. It is the opinion of Dr. Garth, that whatever this variance in judgment may be attributed to it is at least evident that the boys chose LHe3 plCCuIS WHICH IcdtuFeu tIlc lnoSt delicacies while the girls chose one of domesticity.
 In judging advertisements for toi- let soaps the two sex groups were unanimous in their decision. A fact noted about the selection of adver- tisements featuring silverware was the fact that the girls chose the ad- vertisement which pictured pros porous honeymood while the boys chose the materialized state of the same picture.
 On the whole, the experiment is regarded as showing that there is after all, "oneness" of opinion as to the best and worst advertisements which are published from time to time.
 Several principles brought out by the experiments are; First, tha. advertisements must appeal to the feelings of the public; that the more fundamental the feeling the stronger will be the appeal single advertisement must not undertake to present too many varied articles at once, and some advertisements ap- peal to one sex more than to another

Chronic Constipation.

These are people who never have q

the disease they are meant to relieve.
