balanced mind.
He makes these deductions mind.

ity of human beings, are the
strange Scrawls that one does on
scratch pads, or anything handy
while telephoning, listening to a
lecture or just day dreaming.
Russell M. Arundel, the highest
paid secretary on Capitol Hill
when he acted as right-hand man
to Senator Jesse Metcalf, is the
collector Of the "doodleS" Of some
100 persons well known to most
Americans.
He began his collection with the
scribbling done on the back Of an
envelope by the Duke Of Windsor
when he was the Prince Of Wales.
He's made a collection that in
cludes stage ana screen stars as
well as politically prominent per.
sonages. They are gathered to-
gether in a little volume entitled
'tEverybody'S Pixillated," with an
analysis Of each one by a psy-
chiatrist.

Extend Pacific
Air Service

Due to the success of the trans
pacific air mail service to the Far
East, the Post Office Department
through the aeronautic bureau Of
the Department of Commerce has
arranged with the Pan American
Always for the establishment of
service between San Francisco and
Auckland, New Zealand, and pend
ing an appropriation by the cur
rent session of Congress. First
flight over this route will be in
augurated some time in November.
The arrangements have been
completed and save for the finan-
cial end of it, which is expected
shortly, service will be started.
This means that Australia will
also be linked in the chain.
Whether or not an entire differ.
ent set of tranSpacific air mail
stamps will be issued, remains to
be seen. This depends strictly
on the multiple letter rate. But
the present clipper service rates
will probably apply to the U. S.
Amaze route prices.

Mark O'Dea, manager for one
of New York's largest agencies for
years and then head Of his own
agency, tells all about it in "A
Preface to Advertising"
Here is included a full intro
duction to all the inside on some
of the biggest advertising cam
paigns this country has ever
known.
A look at the different methods
employed by the largest adver-
Users and a chance to see how the
big ideas are born; how they work
out; which become successful, and
which fail.
In nine Of his chapters he ex-
plains the difference between the
approach of Henry Ford and
walter P. ChrySler. In another
chapter he includes - basic rules
for advertising by Morrill, God
dard, editor Of the American
Weekly.
He gives space to the handling
Of sex appeal to the business of
research and inveStigation-the
secret Of finding out what the
people want and then brings out
for the first time just how these
advertisers go about attracting the
attention Of those with the pur-
chasing power.
It is a we'll authenticated vol.
ume and a much needed addition
to every business mans library as
well as a good book for those who
want to know all about this highly
specialized profession.

casket.
Woven between these disasters
is a long and drawn-out recital
in which Gerda changes from an
untidy, rather sad little creature
into an obscure but somewhat
worldly poetess. A good deal Of
the book is taken up with her
debut as a writer, her struggles
against superficiality and her de-
sire to please a husband who lives
to please only himself. It is diff
cult to dislike Gerda but the feel
ing persist that she had more
weakness than strength in her
gentle nature. The author will
probably deal with Gerda's future
in another book. The truth is
that her present is pretty bleak.
Those who enjoyed Saturday

unable to resist learning what
happened afterward." We can
only say that a lot did. And add,
that we are sorry that some Of. it

unfamiliar with Vera Wheatley,
must prepare themselves for q

and good fortune or bad will rule.

glory, but when all of the dust has
cleared one driver will have emerged
victorious-and the prize money will
be his.

be the drivers to beat Sunday.
Arizona drivers, both from Phoe-
