If Advertising Is Selling, Who Are the Greatest
Advertisers Ever?
By JANE BURR, American-Born English Writer.

Advertising is selling. The art Of selling is a old as the world
itself. The first salesman was a woman. When Eve sold Adam the apple
in the Garden Of Eden she had the satisfaction Of taking the first order
and we all know Adam paid a very high price for It,
You may not be aware that the first department store was conducted
by Noah during the flood. In fact, some historians go so far as to claim
it was the original Piggy Wiggy. However, it is only fair to Noah to
state he never bucked the New York stock exchange.
If advertising is selling, who were the greatest advertisers that ever
lived? Just consider these names: King Tut-he built a tomb in order
to get on the front page of every newspaper 5000 years later; Cleopatra
she put the word "yamp' in the dictionary and helped to make the
movies popular; P. 7. Banum, who said "the people want to be
fooled; Volstead, diseoyerer Of the American Sahara; Bryan, press agent
Of grape juice; Bambino Ruth, the homerun magnate; Henry Ford,
inventor of perpetual motion, and Pocahontas, after whom so much of
our soft coal has been named.
The reason they were so successful in winning the recognition of the
public was because their advertising methods were right. They always
emphasized one idea, and they emphasized it, a a %ehiropodist would
say, with both feet.
Take George Washington, for example. He had a great slogan,
First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen,'
and no president since his time has been able to earn a better one.

Never Was a Woman Born Who Was Satisfied
With the Man She Married
By c. E. BYRNE, National Association of Music Merchants

T1HERE never was a woman born who was satisfied with the
man she married. She always makes him over, or, rather, she
mistakes his gradual disintegration for something constructive
in her own handiwork.
The universal husbandi Pathetic, bedraggled scarecrow in trousers.
No wonder men always answer their countrys call to arms. 1t is far
easier to face quick death on the battlefield than slow death beside the
domestic hearth.
At home they are helpless, numb. Things oyertake them, fasten on
them while they Ire asleep. Whichever way they go, it is not the way of
their choice. They are pushed along from behind, never doing any of the
things they desire, never wanting any of the things they get Poor
universal husband
AS the blare Of trumpets and the swirl of smoke gradually die down
on the feminist battlefront, an unbiased eye sees, still breathing, but
spiritually dead, a pathetic, bedraggled sort Of seareerow in trousers-the
universal husband The universal husband, made out of all the prom
Using little boys in the world, is warped and cheated by women from the
moment he expands his lungs at birth until he contracts them (often
wifuly) at the moment of death.
Women have very little honesty, no modesty and no sense of shame.
They cannot afford such fairy-book Injuries. Real honesty, modesty and
a sense of shame are not things with which to catch a husband. Maiden
ladies invariably possess some of these abnormal qualities. That is why
they remain maiden ladies.
A woman cannot be fral. She is not frai. She is a tgress. She is
not helpless. She can move mountains, and does if she is not always
given her own way. If she we're helpless the universal husband would
know how to provide for her, how to place her in his relation to a srug-
gle for existence. But he does not know where to place her. She turns
up at unexpected moments, in unexpected places. and acts a a positive
menace to his psychology and to his business career.

The u. S. Navy Must Be Kept Ready for Defens'
in a World Full Of Menace
Bz sEcRETARY pENBY. to Naval War COLLEGE.

The United States navy must be kept ready for defense in a world
full Of menace. Al no time in the nations history has there been greater
need for close study Of naval science and earnest devotion to duty. It is
a day when naval strength is vitality necessary and a full grasp by naval
officers Of world possibilities highly important. We think in terms of
hope for continued peace; we strive through diplomacy, backed by power
to keep that desired peace, but we must net be blind to facts.
We know now beyond peradyenture that war between great powers or
groups Of powers will always involve many other nations and we cannot
say with certainty that such a war may not come at any time. There need
be DO demand for excessive armament.
There will be none for a great increase of our present establishment
made by the Navy department at the coming session of congress. We shall
ask for additional cruisers, allowed under the treaty for the limitation of
armament We shall ask for additional lght-draft gqnboats, the vital
need Of which is being demonstrated every day, and we shall ask for Ger
tain submarines and airpIanes.

Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Canal, the South and
the Cotton Boil WeeVil


In Chicago some day will be tremendous terminal warehouses for the
storage Of our cotton where it will be assembled for export by way of the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence ship canal. The boil weeyil is destroying in one
year enough wealth TO build this canal three or four times, the estimated
cost of which is S%240Q00,000.
The South is tremendously interested in this project as there are
parts of the world which would be reached at a cheaper freight rate by
this route than by any other, and our interest is that it will afford another
means Of competition which IS the life Of the cotton as well as other trade.
There are 900000O00 people in the world, some only partially
clothed, who are depending upon the South to supply them. There is
another group Of 7%00,0003000, about 3 per cent Of whom are coming into
civilization annually by the wearing Of clothes.
Senator Morgan said, in his speech, advocating the Isthmian canal,
that one inch added 10 the shrttal Of every Chinaman would make it
profitable to grow 100000 bales of cotton. The field for cotton produc-
ton al a profitable price is without limit. First Of all we must get rid of
the boil weevil.

Czechoslovakian Premier Is Well
Informed Man With
Big Ideas.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, December 29.--The meet
ing IN Paris Of the council of the
league of nations drew attention to
one Of the striking personalities in
European politics. He is Edouard
Benes. the diplomatic leader Of
Czechoslovakia, and represents his
country on the council. Judged by the
standards of Europe. he is a new
type Of foreign minister; not a ca
lamity howler; well informed man
who believes that conditions gradu-
ally are getting better, instead Of
worse.
Benes does not believe much in sit
ting In leather desk chair and die
tating orders to his ministers in for
eign lands. When he has a big thing
on he packs his grip and goes travel
ing. He runs over to London, or to
Paris, or to Rome. and drops in on
foreign secretaries and prime minis
over things of mutual interest. Nor
does he talk too much. At the last
assembly, meeting Benes got the repu-
tation of being rather a quiet man,
who does a lot of hard! and useful
thinking before he opens his mouth.
He has good first-hand knowledge
of European politics and more par
ticularly of European statesmen.
Benes first showed his ability when
he maneuvered the desertioQ of the
Czechoslovakian troops from Austria
over to the side Of Russia. And Benes
is the architect of the little entente.
He made the minority treaties work.
