“Realization that a very largo bulk of consumer buying is dom through the daily and weekly news papers has come to merchants dur ing recent months,” the report states. “Results have frequently been such that not only will more merchants take advantage of this medium of selling merchandise, but in many instances advertising appro priations promise to be larger.

William Miller Will Play the Leading Role of Oswald, Shows Exceptional Ability.
Hendrik Ibsen’s three-act drama ‘Ghosts,” will be presented by the Na tional Collegiate Players on January 17. The production was to have beer, given in December but was postpones because of the illness of the director W. Ray MacDonald. "Ghosts" was chosen by the National Collegiate Players as their annual production because of the excellent opportunity it offers to display the ability of the cast.
William Miller, manager of university play productions will play the leading role of Oswald Miller demonstrated his ability as a character actor in the School of Speech play, "Dear Brutus," produced last June.
Oswald’s mother will be portrayed by Marjorie Temple. Miss Temple di rected the underclass play, "We’ve Got To Have Money," which was produced at S. C. this fall. The only other feminine role, that of Regina, the maid will be taken by Betty Fennimore Other parts will be played by Paul Kiepe as Jacob Engstrand, Regina’s atlier, and George Lawrence as Pas or Manders.
"Ghosts” is a problem play on thc theme that the sins of the fathers are visited on the children. While it is one of the most horrible of Ibsen dramas, it has long been a favorite with playgoers because of Us keen analysis of human nature. The play is probably the most ambitious and difficult ever attempted by the National Collegiate Players.

ADMISSION FREE The clinic wil be temporarily located in room 112, old high school building, lt wlll be open every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30 to 1:30. Admission is entirely free and open to anyone troubled with stuttering.
The clinic fulfills a double purpose, according to Dr. Metfessel, who says:
"The Southern California Bpeech clinic has been established with a double aim in view. It will aid the studies of the psychology and speech departments into the nature and cause of stuttering, ana it will materially nelp those afflicted with this habit. I sincerely hope that the clinic may bo improved and enlarged until it fills a much felt need in the life of a great university.”
The University of Southern Cal fornia is to open a Psychological Clinic sometime this month, in which speech defects yill be diag nosed, the chief function of th* clinlc to deal with stuttering ana iral speech delects.

“At the present moment of peace and prosperity, the possibility that the government will again be con ronted with financial difficulties such as those encountered during th Jivil War seems very remote. Th -ountry has now developed a vastl itronger financial structure than i, lad in 1862. The Federal Reservi jystem was a tower of strength dur ng the World War. A sufficient^ lesperate struggle for national ex stence might produce a similar fin mcial emergency," states Professoi loseph M. Cormack of the Law ichool, in an article entitled “The Legal Tender Cases — A Drama ol American Legal and Financial History,” appearing in the December issue of the Virginia Law Review.
Professor Cormack, in describing the measures resorted to during the dramatic national financial crisis, states: "If a sufficient quan tity of legal tenders had been issu ed, there would have resulted an eventual collapse of the entire monc tary system. An important element ol' assistance to the government in avoiding this was the word of Jay I Cooke tn selling bonds directly to the people. Cooke, a Philadelphia Danker, was appointed by Secretary of the Treasury, and Salmon P. Chase, general agent of the government for that purpose. He sold $5. 000,000 of six per cent bonds directly to the people at par. The people took the bonds at par as a mat ter of patriotism, and the financial tide turned in favor of the govern ment."
