A coloured circular, hand-bill or poster may have à momentary appeal, but it soon becomes stale. Free Gift Schemes have also failen by the wayside. Merchants are realising that there is no substitute for the steady all-the-year-round appeal of newspaper advertising. It reaches the homes of the community and is constantly circulating in districts reached by virtue of the fact that it accompanies the eagerly sought after news of the day..
The greater the sales-the greater the value to the advertiser, and it is because of this that the keen advertiser wants to know definite figures as to PAID CIRCU- LATION.

The attiturle of the Italian Government to the Anglo-French suggestions has not caused much surprise in conference circles which have been impressed from the beginning with the firmness i of the Italiani delegation's stand.
The chief difficulty has been the Italian claim to politient suzerain- ty in Ethiopia.

The position of France in this matter, which is speedily coming to a critical state, is particularly delicate. Although she is at one with Great Britain in defending the League of Nations, she is very Fath to endanger the newly-found friendship with Italy which is so valuable to her in Europe.
