Old Glory always looks good but looks better when
flying in a cool, invigorating breeze.
Even the conference of the Progressives at Cleveland

It is not surprising, therefore, to find the classified
columns being put to strange uses. One of the most novelj
is revealed in the report that an eminent psychologist, de­
lirious of making a sociological study of women occupy­
ing high school and financial position, used want ads in
American and British newspapers as a means of getting
into touch with such persons.
This suggests that more extensive use might be
made of the classified advertisement as an adjunct to
science. If information is desired and there are people
who can furnish it, it is practically certain that a want
ad will reach them. It may be desired to buy something
or sell something, to obtain a situation or to obtain help,
to recover something lost or discover the owner of some­
thing found; whatever it is, the classified advertisement
is likely to bring it within reach if anything can do it.
