Is Displaced
BY English in College

MANILA, Dee. 2C-Tomas University
the Oldest college under the American
flag, has decided upon the use OF the
English language in all classes, instead
Of Spanish, according to an announce
ment by Father Manuel Arellao, rector
Of the institution. The change is to be
made early in the coming year, when
the university will move to larger
quarters. The college of engineering is
wholly under English instruction AZ
p esent, and several other departments
also are using English.
The university also has decided to
afm:t women to all departments. The
college OF pharmacy was thrown oren
to women last June, and the success Of
the departure has caused the trustees
to reach the decision to admit women
to all departments, i1cluiing law, me-
dicine, engineering, phal macy, philoso-
ply and theology, as soon as the insti-
tuition has become settled in its new
bulldogs.

s350,0O0 per year, is a gigantic monu-
ment TO Advertising.
Other factors have entered into the
business. of course, such as NJ. Edel-
stems knowledge of furniture buying
and furniture selling. and hard work
plenty of the latter-but advertising is
he foundation and corner stone.
From the time the business was open
ed in a small space 90 by 80 feet in
the same building il now occupies in
Brownsville, it has be,n advertised.
The day the doors were opened Mr.
Edelstein, with the aid of a printer,
they were printed he distributed them
himself. AS the business has grown
and ii has grown from the first-the
advertising appropriation has been in
creased yearly until now il runs into
thousands of dollars every year.
+ 1.-THE man who doesn't advertise is
the man who pays for all Advertising"
Mr.. Edelstein says. Gle pays in lost

err forms of advertising should be
abolished today by some law | would
Immediately hire a drummer and some

Ads Get Business
The Edelstein stores are in the
midst Of a gigantic sale at the pre-
sent time which was launched with 80
pages of advertising in Is Valley daily
and weekly publications at a cost Of
hundreds of dollars. This is probably
the lafgest advertising campaign that
has ever been put behind one sale in
the Valley and it has been a success.
"Our store has lone more business
in two days during the sale thar some
of my friends in other lines Of bust
ness will do during the entire month
of December" Mr.. Edelstein said.
This is a s:atemt nj which | can sats-
factcrily prove to them by a compari-
son of books and the only reason for it
is that l asked for the business through
advertising and they did not"
"Our appropriation for advertising in
1924 was 60 per cent larger than it
was the year before and yet as ccm-
pared to earnings it cost US just Is
