The topic of the convention was
"Press and Publicity" and it was very
we'll presented by DR.. E. K. Mahoney
of Yakima in his address on 1.-THE
Psychology of Publicity He traced
publicity from it's earliest beginnings
with posters on the walls of caves,
heralds, town criers, preachers, down
to the swiftly developed newspapers of
our day. DR.. Mahoney defined pub
licity as the making of facts known
to a mass of people and then gave as
it's motive the finding out of facts
about those who are seeking to pub
lish facts and about those who are re-
ceiving the facts published, and the in
fuencing of human behavior. Publi-
city is the main objective of a news
paper or periodical, said DR.. Mahoney,
and the news is only incidental to it.

chairman, spoke delightfully."- on "Press
and Publicity" She has for years been
