Here's more good news Tor men
that want effective advertising.
The American Sunday Magazine,
published with the Hearst Sunday
newspapers, carrying the largest
pages of color advertising in the
United States, circulates more
than than THREE MILLION
COPIES each Sunday, which is a
MILLION more than they were
selling a little while ago. They
will sell FOUR MILLIONS with
in a year. Write it on your tab
lets.
A man bathing can't hear you
when you knock on the bathroom
door. In the first place, the water
is running; in the second place,
he is singing at the top Of his
lungs. Scientists ask: "Why do
we sing while bathing?"
A poor "Freudian" fanatic
answers: "It's fear complex"
1t is not. Human beings natu-
rally sing and yell while they
bathe or swim, because they came
from the water originally and are
happy when they get back in it.
They used to be fish-ask Darwin,
he knows. Then they were half
fish and half land animals. Then
they wandered far off up the hills.
But they always longed to get
back to the water whence they
came. A little boy paddles in pud-
dies. His father paddles and roars
in the bath. It isn't "fear COM
plex"; it's atavistic bliss.
Japan is spending half her total
income preparing for war. WHY,
do you suppose?
With all our affection and admi-
ration for friends across the Pa
-cific, would it be wise for this
country to be found once more un-
prepared? 1t was bad enough in
, . war we didn't start, not aimed
ut US. How would it feel to be
unprepared in q war aimed at US,
with, perhaps, good deal of out
side help?
In the fashion news you study
the nature Of woman, as you study
the development of an unborn
chick, taking out a small piece of
the shell and holding it up against
the light. Woman, whose true des-
tiny is still unmatched, is develop
ing strangely.
Madamoiselle Spinelli deserves
credit; she draws her hair straight
back from the forehead, exposing
her ears" And poor, foolish wom-
en- are wondering how they can
get rid of their permanent wave"
and also have smooth hair, with
ears showing.
If it is fashionable 60 without
stockings, no harm in that, for it's
ugly, and therefore moral.
Women in France have decided
to wear all jewels below the waist,
bracelets on their ankles, "a mag
nificent rope of pearls festooned
from the knee" That is drifting
aimlessly back to the fashions Of
the Equator.
One princess wore skunk fur
and coral" one actress wore
stockings of gold thread" Some
thing remarkable and well worth
while will come out of all this nom
sense eventually, you may be sure,
so be patient.
Mr.. Kennedy, of the Knights of
Columbus, sends information that
will please soldiers. The knights
found themselves with five million
dollars, collected from friends in
war, not yet spent.
The five millions will be de-
voted to hospital and educational
uses for wounded soldiers.
French exchange went up yes
terday, gaining ten points over
night. Money men think that
France will make with Germany
the right kind of settlement--for
France.
The French won the war. 30 per
cent of it, at least. Heaven knows
they didn't start it, didn't want
it. Thew ought to get 30 per cent
of the indemnity. and they would,
if they got the amount due them.
You have seen a chick come out
of its shell, peep pathetically,
gradually gather strength. and
begin walking over the other eggs.
The stock market came out of
its shell yesterday and peeped
little. There is "leather" excite
ment, there is automobile excite
ment. Another Automobile
mcrger," or automobile murder"
as the cynics call it, is promised.
Soon, undismayed, a lot of little
speculation schemes will hatch out.
Don't invest in them any money
