Everyday Psychology
NJ DIR. JESSE W. spRowLs.
Advertising.

Motor companies are selling cars. In
order to do so, they must first direct
and control the minds of prospective
buyers.
The central point In the psychology
of advertising Is the control of atten-
ton. Repetition Is the first law. No
one pays much attention to single
stimulation. Mental prods must follow
one another rather regularly in order
to bring results. Each succeeding "ad'
increases the value OF the preceding
ones. It pays to advertise If you keep
it up.
Resistance to change is the second
factor. Mental habits, like all other
habits, tend to stay put. A great deal
of automobile advertising, If not the
advertising OF everything, is a question
of selling particular goods to buyers
who are already sold on the goods in a
general sense. It is not question of
creating demand, but rather ques-
ton of changing persons notion of
what he thinks are his needs.
People differ greatly in the way an
"ad" appeals to them. In the case of
automobiles, men study the machinery
and its performance; women study up
holstery, body styles, horns and the
like. The manufacturer who meets all
these demands can't help but produce
substantial, good looking car. And
there are a lot Of them on the market.
In fact, competition has made 1t almost
impossible for buyer not to get his
moneys worth. Advertising, costly as
1t is, eventually pays both the seller
and the buyer. IT'S the life Of the trade
and the trader.

Of these are hip length or waist length,

Frivolous Trocks.

Do you look we'll in your evening
frock? A lot of women and girls do
not. Their daytime frocg become them
excellentiy. The simple tailored lines
that the American woman Is famous
the world over for wearing are exactly
what they need. And these simple day
dresses are so well cut and 50 smart,
even when they are cheap, that every
woman gives an impression Of being
very well dressed. indeed.
Evening frocks are different. OF
course the materials are more expen-
sive, and these days q great deal more
material Is needed for one frock than 2
year or two ago. And the beading that
many fr0cks have Is not cheap to put
on. For these and other reasons, eve
ming dresses are very expensive to
buy. Only the very, very expensive
ones are becoming to some women, the
kind 80 expensive they rely on perfect
line and exquisite color, rather than
trimming, for their beauty.
For simplicity Is universally becom-
ing. And the simple evening dress
which Is. perfect In line and color, and
also cheap, Is very hard to find. The
rare type Of girl can find something
for $l6 or $25 and look well. but most
girls buy what seems the best value, or
something that attracts them, and often
the results are disastrous.

January Is. 1Sef.--The new commits
| siofers representing the State of South
Carolina are staying at WIZARDS Hotel
and are the objects Of great ctriousity
| on the part Of men of the press and
others. It has been stated by persons
associated with them that their mis-
sion here IL Ito demand the evacuation
| by the Federal forces OF Fort Sumter, in
Charleston Harbor, under penalty Of It's
prompt demolition. If that costs the
| lives of all the men and the expendi-
ture Of all the money that South
Carolina can raise"
Whether they have come to make
such threat or not. it seems certain
that the Federal Government will not
yield to, or be moved in any way by
demands" from this seeded State.
A more conservative opinion is that
these commissioners have come to ask
the Federal Government for an armi-
stice Of go days, under the terms OF
which Maj. Anderson shall return to
Fort Moultrie, in order that South
Carolina may get rid of the present
entire stoppage Of business at Charles
ton and the enormous cost Of the war
she has initiated against the general
Government. which has required in less
than two months an expenditure OF
81 ,4UO,OUU.
But this idea, If correct, Is looked
upon In Government circles here as "a
cool one" and as amounting to q re-
quest that the Federal Government
help to reconcile the Unionists of South
Carolina to secession and thus make 1t,
as 1t Is by no means yet, an accom-
plished fact.
AS matters stand now in Charleston,
although the general Government has
not fired shot in defense of its
authority or property. two months of
secession" have wholly destroyed the
business of that lately flourishing sea-
port, put the entire State under martial
law and subjected the lives and
fortunes of persons of every class of
society to what the Unionists de-
scribed as a reign of terror" That
South Carolina will be accommodated
by the Federal Government in any of
her demands, whatever they may be. is
not regarded here as among things
possible"
Private advices from Charleston and
elsewhere in South Carolina, however,
indicate that secession sentiment there
is very strong and not likely soon to be
put down. Many persons rather be-
lieve 1t will spread to other Southern
States after the Inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln as President of the

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, January II.

Tomorrow should be o fairly lucky
day for ali who are willing 70 use their
best energies. According to astrology,
benefic aspects are fairly active. :,
In the early morning there may be q
tendency for men to doubt their own
best talents They should act rather
than plan while this rule prevails.
Under this planetary government all
who are clever at detail should benefit.
There Is sign Of promise for those
who contribute TO the success Of plays,
but are never known to the public.
Women should push all important
matters, for there IS an aspect that
seems to promise success.
The stars smile on those who wed
under this rule. which Is read as PROM
ising material as well as spiritual prog
reSs.
Financial matters are subject to an
encouraging aspect. which seems to be
especially lucky for women.
Young folk should benefit while this
! planetary rule continues, for 1t Is be-
| lieved to awaken high ambitions and
to increase mental activity.
Geniuses are to win recognition IN
America for service In the arts and
sciences. Great inventors are 10 gain
fame this year.
According to ancient lore, tomorrow
Is a day most suspicious for interest In
whatever is executive or constructive.
Young women will do we'll to choose
their special life work while this con-
f1guration continues. College students
should take note of this.
Accidents of many sorts may mark
this month. Skaters, as well as motor
lists and aviators, should take notice.
Under this planetary rule interna-
tionaf problems of a new order are
likely to vex the British government.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is have
the augury of year in which they find
success in whatever career they have
chosen. There may be indecision on
certain subjects, notably among the
young, In choosing just the right one to
marry.
Children born on that day probably
will be endowed with happy dispositions.
The subjects of this sign are often witty
and imaginative. entertaining COM
psnions and delightful friends. Many
clever writer's belong to Capricorn.
