ADVERTISING AS A SCIENCE

Like all things, advertising has had an evolution. A century
ago the leading merchants resorted to what now is classified
ad and the modern display ad was unknown. The stores which
a century ago purchased newspaper advertising in quantities of
a half dozen lines weekly now contract for one and two pages
and the landlady advertising for a roomer or a young lady
seeking a lost cat consumes more space in the newspapers OF
today that the most thriving merchant of yesterday.
As in quantity, so has advertising had an evolution of quail
iy. Within the shopping memory of the present generation
the advertisement, both newspaper and magazine, has risen from
a relation of articles and prices to attractive displays artisticaly
phrased, graphically illustrated and in the case of magazines
often beautifully Autographed. The modern advertisement is
not a narration of goods and prices; it is storehouse of mforma-
ton about buying, styles, thrift and economy. The public once
complained of spending a penny for a newspaper and getting
SO per cent, more or less, of it's paper in advertising. Now
magazines are purchased by many for their advertisements
alone, and as for the newspaper, the advertisements form an
important part of the days reading.

CUSTOMS

Most everybody has wondered where the custom of shaking
hands and lifting the hat originated. The question of the
origin has probably been inspired by thoughts of the futility
and uselessness of both customs.
One theory of the origin of the Misunderstanding custom is that
prehistoric man proffered his right hand to the passerby to
indicate that he had left his club at home and was bent on some
peaceful pursuit. The custom has deteriorated to a less
significant salutation.
The custom of lifting the hat is supposed to have originated
when k~nighthood was in flower and armored knights raised the
visors of their helmets upon passing a lady that they might
better see and be seen. 1
But today one is more apt to hear "tp the hat" than Gift
the hat" Is there any relation between this and the fact that
men now touch their hats to a lady, whereas they formerly
removed their hats entirely with a grand flourish? Customs
are subject to change, although most of them survive in some
form or other for centuries.
The Parisians-reputed to be the most gallant and courteous
of men-are said to be welcoming with a zest a league against
Misunderstanding in process of organization in France. 1t recalls
the spontaneous public approval given to suggestions to abolish
the traditional White. House Misunderstanding in the Harding and
Coolidge administrations.

READ NEWSPAPERS

The woman who knows her paper from the date line to tbs
want ads can pick an argument with her husband about blonds
becoming extinct, or a candidates chances, and the result is
that she gets all the argument she wants without interfering in
the least with her domestic happiness.
Instead of panning one of her husbands associates wives
she can lamb the harpoon into some dame who is dragging hl
husband through the divorce courts, or she can grill the
dramatic critic who doesn't like a certain show as much as she
does. She can voice an opinion about a bit of news and throw
more of a scare into her husband than if she tried to crown him
with the goldfish.
Women read the newspapers more carefully than men do
At least this is the consensus of opinion in newspaper circles
where a close tab is kept on the tastes of people and the things
that interest people.

THE BETTER OLE"
 IS THE BEST YET

If you can find a better show, go to it. Meanwhile we doubt that in the whole wide field of motion pic. tures. you will find entertainment more consistently enjoyable than that afforded by The Better Ole, , the Warner Bros production. at the Bradley Theatre. Sunday and Monday.
 The Better Ole" has about every thing that belongs to a perfect pie ture. The characters are all real and intensely vital persons, especial ly Old Bill. the lovahle British civilian ln uniform. who. as played by SYd Chaplin, becomes as memora- ble a character as ever trod in the path of a picture camera The story with it's background of the war. is expressing and full of suspense that rises to smashing climax. Ths direction. credited to Charles F Reisner. k magnificent. | hIs Ire mendous pace and swiftness, its de tail Is finely accurate. the camerl work is of rare beauty and original ity, and the whole atmosphere breatf es of the war villages of France.
 But the genius of tho picture lie. in is laughter l. is the laughter that was stirred out of the anguish of the war: the hilatity of the Bri ish army that was captured by Capt. ain Bruce Bairnsfather, when he drew the cartoons that later were to become famous in Tine London Bystander. These cartoons helped to make Old Bill as well known q wal figure as Foeh. Haig or Pershing and certainly a figure much more be loved than any generalissimo. Old Bill touched the heart and made the world ring with laughter
 In this later inearnations Old Bill appeared as the hero of the play that Bairnsfather and Arthur Eliot con. structed out of the cartoons, and 9Th, Better Ole" made stage history.
