Helen Woodward Makes
Author Sell His Own Book

A p. r. Barnum, the great American
~ Snowman. achieved success by cap-
talizing human credulity, so Helen
Woodward, a young New York girl, became
a power in the advertising world by capi-
talizng curiosity. She saw way to fame
by taking into account the inquisitiveness
which is an innate quality in American
makeup. so when n big publishing com.
pany decided to put a new edition of Mark
Twain on the market and Miss Woodward
got the advertising contract through the
company with which she is connected she
conceived the Idea of battling the mind of
the reading public to get his works new

of this generation-meant strategy, but of
a perfectly legitimate kind
Miss Woodward flashed the tale of Huck
Finn before the public eye, Illuminating her
sketch with the high lights Of the story,
but cutting il short at its most exciting
juncture 1t was all over then but the
shouting The men to whom Huck Finn
had been a childhood idol were keen for the
book which brought back such happy days
The younger generation felt an uncontrolla

wanted set of Mark Twain so that the
first year the royalties increased to some
thing like SG0Oo0 Last year they reached
$4,000.
Miss Woodward Is modest, as are most
women who are taking real hand in the
worlds work. She is thoroughly engrossed
by her profession. she started at the low
est round of the ladder and progressed
through the advertising departments of
various magazines and book publishers in
New York. Two years ago two young men
in the concern for which she was working
left to form an agency of their own and she
cast her fortune with them. Her knowl-

At that time Griffith was working in Los

one day, with her mother, she called in

the proposition Anita's mother decided,
"We will catch the midnight train for

But San Diego finally got on Anita's nerves,
so she ran away and got married.

Now Mr.. Emerson has given up directing

The improvement in business condi-
tions is not fast. he said, but added that
it was better that they do not improve
faster than they are. as too big jump
in the way of improvement would be apt
TO bring about a reaction.
He said that he believed a steady I'M

perienced is better for tie country than
spasmodic spurts.
During the last thirty days, he said.
he has visited more than thirty states in
the Northwest Southwest. Middle West,
South and East and has talked with
more than 200 dealers and has found
that they are feeling better and better
as conditions improve.
He expressed the belief that the i'm
provement In conditions viii continue
until times are once again normal-and
that that might require from six to
twelve months.
The trip made by Mr WHY'S was to
get acquainted first hand with CON
ditions and will be completed tomorrow
with a big meeting of dealers az Toledo.
Mr. WHY'S is Wen known In this city
