ADVERTISING TIPS Declaring himself a "bolshe vik" in the field of advertising. President Mac Wilkins of the firm of Mac Wilkins and Cofe, Portland, brought a forceful mes sage to the Salem Advertising club Friday noon. Wilkins said a decade of experience had con vinced him there was no-univer sal advertising formula for each business to use and that in all cases related business problems were as important to success as the advertising, problem itself. Wilkins said a business without competent executive leadership would not succeed, with or with out advertising. He stressed the need of a good sales campaign and of proper merchandising as conditions precedent to advertis ing. He said a worthy product was a necessary prerequisite to advertising which he placed as the fifth factor in a manufacturer s and a distributor's success. "Don't advertise what you see In your product. Study the con sumer. Find out what he is inter ested in. Then advertise from his standpoint, telling him only the things he is interested In learn ing," Wilkins counselled. The speaker has recently been named chairman of the hospital ity committee of the Portland Ad vertising club which is to be host late this spring to the Pacific Coast Association of Advertising clubs.

PENSION LIST Will I Hospital Beds I 1 To Rent 1 I call OOtO. Vsed Furniture 1 B Department H 1 151 North Hlgb 1 Revoke Penalties Explained By MRS. WILLIAM H. QTJINN Culbertson Associate The revoke penalty is the same In rubber bridge as in duplicate and causes much unhappiness. There 13 nothing so upsetting as to have to pay the revoke penal ty. A revoke Is (1) failure to fol low suit when able to do so, also (2) failure to lead as required by an opponent who Is imposing a penalty. The reason one feels so guilty when he has an "estab lished" revoke penalty is the fact that one established his own re voke. The revoke may be cor rected as long as neither the of fender nor his partner leads or plays to the following trick. Nothing that the opponents do affects the establishment of the revoke. A partnership has only itself to blame if a revoke be comes established. The penalty for an established revoke is much more seve e than the penalty for a 'corrected revoke, so we make great effort to turn our re vokes into corrected revokes. For an established revoke, the revoking side surrenders two tricks to the other side for the first revoke, and one trick for each subsequent revoke. A very heavy fine! Only tricks won after the re voke, can be taken. The reascn for this is evident why should a revoke be penalized by the transfer of those tricks which the revoke did not effect? Tricks won r lost, before the revoke, occurred are not affected by the revoke. To make this clear suppose you (South) are piay ing a contract of five diamonds and your opponents win the first three tricks you winning tre re maining ten. At the completion of the deal It is discovered that West revoked on the third trick West won two tricks before the revoke. These two tricks are Im mune from nenalty. Only one trick is surrendered. This would enable you to fulfill your con tract. A revoke cannot be claimed after all four players have re turned their cards to the dupli cate board.
