ADVERTISING-Any in any business that
depends upon public approval and patronage
for it's success has perfectly reasonable method
open to him to keep himself and his business be-
fore the buying and patronizing public. Advertis-
ing is medium that offers the qucnest route to
success, and failure to use it consigns the whole
proposition to an early failure If the public IS
misinformed or uniformed about a great deal
that is offered for sale, the reason largely may be
discovered in the lack of proper and sustained adj
vertisng Success is not some mysterious ele-
ment that chances to drop in here or there to en-
rich this or that person. 1t is problem that has
been solved, and you will find in nine cases out
of ten advertising has been the stepping stone.

OF national scope is the Women's
Activities Exhibit, which will be stag
ed in New York City this month under
the auspices OF the New York Busl-
ness and Professional Women's
League. The first exhibit was held in
demonstration, demonstrating many
unusual avenues of women's work.
This year the emphasis will be placed
on education and cooperation with
leading woman's colleges of the coun-
try, reserving exhibit space and fur
nishing speakers. The League of Wo--
mems Voters will institute school
for voting information with instruc-
tons on how to vote. The oldest land
scape garden school for women will
have beautiful exhibit, executed and
decorated by alumnae of the school.
Practically all women's organizations
will have part in tbs demonstration.
Style and Sense
A style revue will be staged each
evening of the Woman's Activities
Exhibit with the basic idea of an in
telligent survey of textiles, outlines
and colors as we'll as economic rea-
