Miss Alice came to Washington
yesterday to look the city over. She
wanted to shroud her visit with
secrecy, for, she explained, she was
tired of being interviewed and
weary of being told you must sit
for your picture; it is the penalty
for being in the public eye" But
the newspapermen. from whom 1t
is hard to keep anything secret.
soon discovered Miss Alice was a
visitor to the Capital, and located
the new Congresswoman at the
headquarters OF the National Women
Party at IA jackson place.
Believe me, there is no advertis-
ing medium so effective or which
produces such wonderful results as
the classified ads" said Miss Alice.
They are little, but o my!
you know l operated a cafe in
Muskogee. One day l announced
my intention of placing a little ad
in the classified section OF daily
newspaper. My friends told me ]
was crazy; nobody would see 1t
buried among the want ads, they
the subject.
FAITH IN SMALL ADS.
II went ahead and advertised
just "A small ad it was. But l con-
tinued to keep that ad in the same
place every day. The result was
amazing. Everybody got to know
Miss Alicc's cafeteria They knew
where to look for the ad whenever
il or not
81 want to tell you that the classi-
fed ad columns are the most human
columns in any newspaper. Advertis-
tx in the classified columns pays-and
pays big"
Miss Alice has definite ideas on def.
mite things. AS for smoking among
womeA she believes every woman
should be governed by her own con-
science.
II know one thing" she said, as her
lips came together a bit more tightly
II don't smoke, and II l had daugh-
ter she would not smoke either. I'D
see to that"
SILENT ON BLUE LAWS.
As for the proposed blue law legis-
lation, Miss Alice declined to discuss
the question. She said everybody
should be governed according to the
dictates Of his or her conscience.

the presence of men," said Miss Alice
"Now why shouldn't men smoke in the
presence OF women"
Miss Alice is an anti suffragist and
although she is ready to climb on the
band wagon and be an advocate of
equal suffrage. nevertheless deep down
in her heart she has not changed her
views on the question.
A number of suffragists at head
quarters yesterday attempted to get
her to make n statement that she had
come into the fold of the suffrage
movement, but Miss Alice cleverly
sidestepped any advances of this kind.
81 abhor publicity" said Miss Alice.

get her to pose for her photograph.
II am tired out. When come back
to Washington, three weeks from
now, l will give all you newspaper
men a chance"
