 Man, Woman, Marriage is literally q story of the battle between the sexes throughout time. It gives both sides but champions woman. Though revealing the blind tyranny and inability of man to see and appreciate, the inability is condoned more or less as blindness.
 In point of production, the picture Is superb. It represents distinct effort of the producers at elaborateness to the point of being majestic. The scenes are wonderful, the details minute and full of compelling significance and the produc- ton full and graphic and there is not a dull moment in the entire length of the eight or ten reels of the picture. It is one of the really big pictures of the day and met every expectation of the audi ences that packed the Trianon to it's ca- pacity throughout yesterday.

What Jobbers HaUe Done
 With and WithoutAdDertising
By st. ELMO MAssENGALE President MassengaIe Advertising Agency

EreSloenN muSBcnBaIe
 good example of the power of ad- vertising, or rather the power of not advertising, is the jobber.
 Jobbers, as class, have in the past been non-advertisers. One reason was because the jobbers operate on a small margin of profit, but the chief reason was because it was not the custom for Jobbers to advertise. Custom is a pe- culiar thing. Because people once rode in stage coaches, custom would have them always ride In stage coaches. Be- cause ships customarily were moved by wind power, custom ridiculed Fulton when he proposed moving them by steam power.
 The result of the non-advertising policy of jobbers is that the Average person has come to believe that the Jobber is a business parasite, making the consumer pay a premium for the goods the jobber handles. In fact. the thing has gone so far during the past year that a few large manufacturers nave discontinued the policy of selling through the Jobber and are trying to operate without him as a connecting link to the dealer
 The facts of the case are that the Jobber in most cases fills an economic need. The jobber enables the nanu- facturer to reduce selling cost and yer got his goods on sale in even the smallest rural towns, in addition to lessening the manufacturers credit risk and bookkeeping expenses. On the other hand the jobber, by acting as a convenient warehousing and dis- tr1puting point for the retailer en- ables the retailer to operata on a smaller capital and make greater profit by ordering a wide variety in small quantities, and by making a more frequent turnover in his stock. Frequent turnover on the part of retailer means that he can offer the public lower prices

 But what the public is Ignorant of 1t Is prone to suspect. Jobbers, by their failure to educate the public by advertising what their true economic | position Is, have created for themselves no goodwill, nor have they sold them. selves to the public as & necessary business factor. Consequently, it has been easy for irresponsible dema- gogues. theorists with some pet Cure alt' idea, or those with some partic- | ular ax to grind to successfully as sail in the public's mind the position of the Jobber.
 This is not an attempt to hold forth | the jobber as an innocent victim of circumstances, for there are no doubt cases were a jobber has served no ones interests but his own; and in any event, the jobber has but himself to blame for the present popular cry of Cut out the middleman," for he has brought it on himself for not insuring, by advertising, his business and his po- sition in the business world.
 The manufacturer or the merchant or whoever has a commodity or a service | to sell should take to heart the ex- perience of the jobber. And they should take to heart the lesson that a certain few wise jobbers have taught the manufacturer.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN HAS HIT HIGH
 SPOT IN LATEST FEATURE, 1.-THE KID''

Charlie Chaplin has hit the high spot in delightful entertainment in his first attempt at feature length picture, The Kid,' which is the title he has given to the story, which he has written himself and which is the most enjoyable Chaplin film we have ever seen. This attraction comes to the Trianon next week, beginning Monday IT the first place The Kid simply bubbles over with laughter and the sit nations are so human that you do not feel foolish because you are laughing. Again, it is long enough so that it provides whole evenings entertain ment in itself.
 One critic says: "Itad some one told us before we saw The Kid that we could be convinced that the character which Charlie has always represented

 As comedy the production is a winner; as dramatic production it ranks high; but the strongest appeal this First National six reels of joy made to us was to bring the realiza- tion that Charlie Chaplin is not a clown but one of the most consummate actors on the screen today" 4e

ONE SENTENCE
IS n ct H Of
HARD|NG'S 8 4TH
JULY GRAFTON
Sponsors row Boat Launched
By Young Frelinghuysen
On Raritan Lake
WILL RETURN TODAY
President And Mrs. Harding
Shake Hands With Many
At Public Reception

RARITAN, n. j., July 4.-Acting as
sponsor here today of a row boat
made by a 9-year-old boy, President
Harding delivered a Fourth of July
Grafton of single sentence in trib-
ute to the ingenuity and aspirations
of American boyhood.
The craft which inspired the presi-
dents toast was the "Ragitan," nine
feet over all, conceived and built by
Joseph s. Frelinghuysen, Jr., son of
the senior senator from New Jersey,
at whose home here Mr. and Mrs.
Harding are guests.
The bank of an artificial lake form
ing hazard across golf course of
the Raritan Valley Country Club, was
the scene of the launching and will
be the home port of the 'Raritan' as
she sails in search of mis-directed golf
balls
Had she been the largest ocean lin
er, the vessel could scarcely have TAX
en- the water with a greater show of
ceremony. Specially constructed ways
whose upper end rested on a soap box
guided her down the bank. The Amer
lean flag was in place above her
stern and, as she was loosed to begin
her career, the president oil the Unit
ed States broke a bottle of mineral
water across her bow and said
AS a tribute to American boyhood,
who build castles in the air, who buil1
boats and whose achievements in the
future will build this country chris
ten this boat, the handwork of Joe
Frelinghuysen, the 'Raritan'
Entering thoroughly into the spirit
which prompted Joe and his young
friends to plan the celemony, Presi-
dent Harding spoke his tribute sol
emnly and applauded as the boat
splashed into the water with her
! builder sitting prOduly amidships.
Then the president, attired in white
golf costume, turned to the group of
| boys that had gathered on the bank
and snapped opinions with them
about the fine points of the "Raritan.'
Manifestly, the president enjoyed
! the launching more than any other
event on his Fourth of July program
| though, previously he had been pre-.
sented with a silver cup by the coun
try club and later was the central fig
ure at a public reception at the Ere
linghuysen house, during which the
people of Raritan and nearby towns
trooped in to pay their respect in mum
bers that recalled the front porch
days at Marion.
For more than two hours the pres
| ident and Mrs. Harding shook hands
and exchanged greetings with those
| who filed past.
Tomorrow morning President Hard
ing will leave by train for Washing
ton.
