Eve the First Advertiser.

London. tBy Mail to United Press.)
Eve was the worlds first advertis-
er. 1t was because she pointed out
the excellent qualities of fruit that
Adam and she found themselves out
side the garden of Eden. II Eve hadn't
boosted" the apple, Adam would
never have partaken.
These facts were pointed out by
Sir Robert Horne in speech at the
opening Of the Advertising Exihibi-
tion here. The serpent, he said, was
the advertising agent who knew his
job well. He advertised his goods
through Eve because he knew she
had pull" with the public he was
trying to reach, or In other words,
poor old Adam.
Sir Robert failed to point out wheth-
er Adam ever repented of his re-
sponse to the lure OF advertisement
but he pointed out nevertheless
that advertised articles are bound to
be good, or no amount Of advertising
will sell them second time. It is
assumed that the advertised apple
lived up to the reputation Eve had
claimed for it and that Adam there
after became an habitual apple-eater.
Be that as it may, certainly the
wonders of advertisement were fully
proven by the Advertising Exhibition
itself, which is the first of its kind
ever held in England.

WASTED ENERGY

Why does the American Federation
Of Labor usually secure all II asks,
even though some of the requests may
be unreasonable? Because the locals
OF the American Federation make
their demands through the national

demands. When polity is announc-

by every member. We. therefore. do
not turn down this demand, unless it
is unbearable.
Why is the United States Chamber
of Commerce so effective in shaping
sentiment among business men and
in influencing legislation? Because
the local chambers OF commerce
stand by the national chamber in its
