And our experi ence is that the hews which interests you most is the news which affects you most. Which one of your friends has participated in a minor accident, you are moreinterestedinthatthanin amajor accident in another city. Advertising, too, is news of the first importance. It affects you. It is intimate, local news addressed to you. It deals with your comforts, your pleasure and your business. It saves you time by telling you where the merchandise is. It saves you money by announcing fair prices. It is the guide to efficient spending. When you fail to read the advertisements, you do not keep up with news that is most important to you. You miss many opportunities. The best-informed people are those who read the advertise ments regularly. In fact, in this modern age, when each day brings forth new things which directly affect you, you cannot ignore the advertisements in your daily newspaper and still be well-informed!

Alice, 31, five feet four Inches tall, light brunet In' coloring, has been In Hollywood five years, but at last has achieved distinction of a sort.

She is ambitious and eager to win a regular film contract. "I think I could make a success as a comedienne if given the chance," she bays confidently. "And you never can tell this bit, even though I'm acting with my legs alone, may be the break I've needed." Alice, born In Paul's Valley, Okla., nursed an ambition to become a dancer and In the summers studied In Dallas, Tex. When she came to Hollywood she danced on the stage for six months, then played . the piano in a girls' orchestra another alx moiiftfha, JlnUng It pleasant enough if not particularly remune rative.' Bo she became a movie extra. The brief -lived bom in musical pictures made her dancing ability profitable for a year, and she often has been selected for bits before.
