The House Press Gallery celebrated J. J. Pickle Chili Day yesterday for the 20th consecutive year, believed to be a gustatory record for journalists' consumption of a preparation by a member.

At this year's convention the American and Canadian publishers were told by the Newspaper Advertising Bureau that advertising revenue in 1985 increased about 10 percent over 1984 and was expected to do the same in 1986. Many publishers say that as the television audience becomes fragmented by cable and the spread of video cassette recorders, newspapers will be even more attractive to advertisers because they will command a clear, dependable audience.
