high pressure advertis ing owes its success to the use of the psychology of fear and the mis use and prostitution of science dr harvey a neville associate pro fessor of chemistry told the chem ical society last night modern advertising has become a science which seems to have three fundamental laws namely you can fool some of the people all of the time you can fool all of the people some of the time and the volume of sales is directly propor tional to the square of the adver tising pressure dr neville as serted developing the chemical quack ery branch of advertising dr ne ville explained the specific instances in which the general public is be ing duped by clever copy of the modern alchemist of advertising " even you best friends won't tell you is the beginning of an ad vertisement which goes on to state that listerine effectively prevents halitosis and is invaluable as an an tiseptic actually listerine con sists of 2 per cent of boric acid 23 per cent of alcohol and 75 per cent of water said dr neville and while it will cover signs of halito sis an onion would do just as well tells of absorbine jr " absorbine jr is offered as a cure for trichophytosis commonly known as athlete's foot perhaps you wonder who or what absorbine sr was dr neville said the senior of the family was a horse liniment and the junior is nothing more or less than a dilute form which has succeeded because of modern advertising methods absorbine jr is an acetone extract of worm wood containing oil of sassafras and menthol " pepsodent toothpaste adver tisements claim that the new pro duct is safe safe because it is soft twice as soft as polishing materials in use according to a report of research of the new york dental society the new pepsodent is largely composed of a coarse grit of precipitated calcium phosphate needle crystals and broken frag ments of spherulites these are in soluble in water and presumably insoluable in mouth acids and some of them are hard enough to scratch glass dr neville stated mustard and cheese play will have women in cast feminine parts for the mustard and cheese play which is to be presented on friday december 16 in drown hall will be taken by wives of the faculty members and local girls john a aufhammer president of mustard and cheese stated that no definite selection of a play has been made up to the present date but it is
