A CATCHY AID

How people will respond to something
which appeals to their curiosity is illus
trated in a story from Budapest, where a
bookseller circulated an advertisement,
translated as follows:
What must yourg girl know before
marriage? From the book which I sup
ply to order, the young girl will learn, not
what every young girl is told before mar
riage, but what the young girl of today
will find it indispensable to know if she is
to prove herself really modern. For rea-
sons easily to be understood, it is not adj
visable to sell such book over the cOun-
ter, but on receipt of the price, four PEN
goe, it will be sent, discreetly packed, to
any address,"
The price quoted is about the equiv
alent of one dollar, so orders poured in by
the thousands Not only young girls, but
persons of both sexes and all ages, bought
eagerly in the expectation of thrills.
The books were delivered as prom
ised, but were found disappointing. Some
customers prosecuted the bookseller for
fraud, but he was acquitted. 1t was held
by the court that the books sold through
the advertisement really contained infor-
nation which young girl should have
before marriage"
They were cook books.

Aside from the remarkable military
successes scored by the soldiers of Fin
land, little of importance has happened in
the European war since the scuttling of
the Admiral Graf Spec off the harbor of
Montevideo.
The Russian Bear, ambling through
Finland, found the going much tougher
than expected. Having moderated the
Firms, the Russians are now said to be pre-
pairing larger force for more serious
effort to subdue opposition.
Before the beginning of the attack
upon Finland the world had an idea that
the Red Army of Soviet Russia was a
power to be reckoned with. This myth
he's been exploded by the campaign in Fin
land but it is too early to write off the
Russian army as a failure.
