The Audit Bureau of Circulations, a national organization of which the New Britain Herald is a membe, recog- nizes this fact and has organized an iron bound association with the sqle aim of giving the advertiser a fair and squarg statement of circulation claims of the newspaper in question. = The Herald advertises " 14,000 copies are printed and distributed daily, and stands ready to throw open the circulation books to sub- staniate this fact. Audit Bureau of Circulations auditors come to the Herald every year and go over the circulation books. The Herald respectfully calls the attention of the local advertisers to the circulation of this paper, over 14,000 printed and distributed daily, and knows well that it is the right of the advertiser to know the facts before placing an ad in any newspaper. The Herald has more than three times the circulation/ of any newspaper published in its territory. e M) can I find this information? A. The information can be found in encyclopedias under the names of presidents. The Washington Bureau has the Information briefly compiled in the bulletin on “The Presidents” which may be obtained | from the Bureau for five cents in etamps or coin. Q. How old was Rudolph Valen- tino when he died? A. He was 31 years old when he died. Q. What i€ the origin of the su- perstition about broken mirrors? A. Since early times a mirror hag been part of the paraphernalia of Diviners who claimed to read the future or the past. In anclent Greece divination performed b means of water and a mirror was 60 popular and so widely practiced that it was given a definite name *ca- toptomancy”. There are still seers and fortune tellers who ‘see” the past and the future in crystals and mirrors. An early belief was that one saw the will of the gods in the mirror, To break a mirror acci- dentally, therefore, was interpreted as an effort on the part of the gods to prevent the person from eceing into the future. Among highly su- perstitious people the: breaking of the mirror came to be looked upon as a death omen. Q. Do French women have the right of suffrage? A. No. Q.
