Throughout France the U. S. Washburn Crosby flour company asks from many a billboard "Eventuellement, Pourquoi Pas Maintenant?";* but the Grands Moulins de Paris have no slogan. Explaining, last week, Miller Vilgrain said: "We French millers do not advertise, and sell almost wholly to bakers, seldom to the housewife, who does little of her own bread or pastry making. The competition offered by American flour firms in France is negligible.* The French miller does not advertise or claim superiority for his individual brand of flour, because both the price and quality are regulated...
...Every day in every way I'm getting thinner and thinner"--as M. Coue's slogan might have been--applies the same principle as does the actress in her home-made "grow thin" method.

Less clever, by one word, a Mrs. Maud Burt of Marshalltown, Iowa, thought of "Use It-Nature Renews It," got third prize...
...interest manifested in the University swimming meet yesterday afternoon is ample-proof of the need of a new pool. The anonymous donor of the necessary sum apparently made his gift just in time. Athletics for all is an excellent slogan, but it has already exceeded its physical bounds, and the most obvious overcrowding anywhere is at the Big Tree...
