Advertisement versus salesman efficiency argument
The piece argues ads reach readers by choice, delivering clearer, briefer claims than a salesman. A five hundred word message to six million people costs about a million dollars by a salesman, but an ad in The Lapizs' Home Blan reaches them for about one thousand dollars with cash discount.
Wedding Party Plans Grand Music and Escort at Ceremony
Franko and his orchestra will perform a grand program after the ceremony including the Grand March from the Queen of Sheba, Gounod Overture, Die Meistersinger, Die Schonbrunner Waltz, Barcarole, Contes d Hoffmann selections, and Merry Widow numbers. Wedding gifts reportedly exceed 1,000,000 dollars and are guarded by detectives with special police arrangements for onlookers. The couple will depart Monday for Newport to The Breakers, staying until February 4 before sailing for Europe.

Fresh Air School to Open in Providence
A fresh air school will open in Providence tomorrow with open three wall windows and a ventilation system to provide cold, pure air. The Rhode Island League for the Suppression of Tuberculosis recommended the model from Europe, notably Germany, and walls are light green with deodorizaton and sterilization of room items. Warmth is provided by fireplaces and soap stone ovens. students may wear woolen bags and gloves for cold feet, with sunlit desks and portable platforms for sun exposure. The teaching staff is chosen from Providence, guided by experts, and the approach mirrors European practice where fresh air schools are standard parts of the system.
