was her privilege, and that M meeting
would be called unless she issued it."
Mrs. Pell declined t o give the lame
of the woman she had in mind, but 1t
is understood to be Mrs. campton.
Mrs. Campton, in discussing the
meeting of Thursday. had this to say
today:
Mrs. Pell called an executive meet
ing at the library Thursday. She car
ried on in every conceivable and in
conceivable way. If you had been
there you might have been and heard
her actually scream with rage on the
staircase of the library at two MEM
bers conversing quietly ON other mat
tiers in the hallawys.'
Calls III some Woman Club
aMrs. CorIies intends to reorSanize the
club and have 1t run as an ~orEaniza-
tion, and not as it has heretofore been
known, ms the .One woman Club
MRS. PelTs name was proposed as a
candidate for president, but was voted
down. There could not be three nomi-
nees on the slate for any office. Mrs.
Pell called an executive meeting in the
library for no other purpose than that
OF breaking up the club if she could
not cnjoIe the members into letting her
elect herself again.
ut is all too bad she has not the
womanliness to drop gracefully out of
an office which her age and methods
of filing have well-nigh driven the club
to the wall. Affairs are in such had
shape that it will be necessary to re-
organize.
"She simply cannot account for any
thing without twisting it into a variety
of ways, so that even a philadelphia
lawyer would call her explanations
Chinese puzzles"
The slate reads as follows: For presi-
dent, Mrs. James c. Corlies and Mrs.
De Forrest P. Lozier; vice-president,
Miss Anna NJ. Graves and Mrs. Mar
tin Adelman; secretary, Mrs. Harry
Campton and Mrs. Lavinia Rolf; treas
urer, Mrs. Grenville Weeks and Mrs.
George M. Lee; historian, Miss Helen
Dodd; auditor, Mrs John F. Pell.
The ticket was signed by each mem
Der of the nominating committee.
The nominating committee consists
of Mrs. Martin Adalman, Mrs. Corlies
Mrs. Granville Weeks, Mrs. Harry
Campton and Mrs. L. l.. Rolf.
MRS. Pell is a. perfect lady" said
Mrs. Lavinia Rolf, when questioned
about the quarrel, "She was perfectly

Mrs. Rolf would not disclose The
identity of the certain other people,"
Does Mrs. Pell think she has beer
unfairly treated?' she was asked.
"She naturally would think So" wal
her answer.
Mrs. James c. Corlies stated that
though Mrs. Pell had declared that sht
sent them, neither she nor Mrs. Camp
ton had received notices of the execu
tive meeting; that she did not reacI
the library until it was over, and tina
she was aware of no disturbance.

On Thursday, when Mr.. Tomson was
last seen alive, he visited Philadelphia,
where Miss Moore is employed by a
wholesale grocery firm as a stenog-
rapher. After the dramatic scene in
the church on Wednesday evening,
when she denounced the minister, Miss
Moore packed her suit case and went to
Philadelphia on Thursday morning.
After she had heard yesterday in
Philadelphia that Tomson had killed
himself, she telephoned to friends here
that she did not intend to return.
Tomson returned here from Philadel-
phia Thursday afternoon. A half hour
later, following an invariable custom,
he visited the postof1ce, then went to
his room. He was not seen again until
the housemaid found him lying dead in
his bedroom.
From the position of his body, If
Tomson committed suicide. he must
have faced his image in the mirror and
then fired the bullet that crashed into
his brain.
No Clue to Motive.
The quarrel between Mr.. Tomson and
Miss Moore was remembered. Prose-
cutor Rogers and Coroner Hunter con-
ferred, and decided that Miss Moore's
testimony could be taken at the in
quest. They learned that she mad left
town Thursday morning. They COM
municated with her employers in Phila-
delphia, and learned that she had
previously been informed of Mr.. Tom
sons death and had been excused for

The Clock That Had
No Hands
By Herbert Kaufman.

Newspaper advertising is to business what
hands are to a clock. It is a direct and certain
means of letting the public know what yo@ are DOING.
In these days of intense and vlgHant commercial
contest a dealer who does not advertise is like al
clock that has no hands. He has no way of telling folks
uhat he's al. He can no more expect a twentieth
century success with nineteenth century methods
than he can wear the same sized shoes as a man
which fitted him in his boyhood
His father and mother. were content with neigh
borhood shops and bobtail cars. They we're the
best to be had in their day. They we're accustomed
to seek the merchant instead of being sought By him.
They dealt around the corner" in one-story shops
which depended upon the immediate friends OF the
dealer for. support. As long as the city was made
up of such neighborhood units, each with a full out
fit of butchers, bakers, clothiers, jewelers., furniture
dealers and shoemakers, it was possible for the pro-
prietors of these little establishments to exist and
make a profit.
But as population increased, transit facilities
spread, sections became specialized, block after
block was entirely devoted to stores, and mile after
mile became solely occupied by homes.
The purchaser and the storekeeper gre0 farther
and farther apart. 1t was necessary for the merchant
to find a substitute for his direct personality which
no longer serUed to draw customers to his door. tie
had to stretch q bond 6etaUeen the commercial centre and the
home centre. Rapid transit eliminated distance, but
advertising was necessary to inform people anhere
he was located and aohat0 he had to SELL 1t was a
natural outgrowth of changed conditions-the begin
ming of q neaU era in trade which no longer relied
upon personal acquaintance for success.
The newspaper publisher, hitherto a gossip,
a retailer of information, became a first aid to
commercial advancement. The shopkeeper, hlth-
erto a petty tyudesnan, began to grow into the dignity
of q merchant.
Something more wonderful than the tabled
philosophers stone came into being, and the be-
ginnings of fortunes a0htch mould pass the hundred
million mark and place tradesmens daughters upon
oriental thrones grew from this new force. Within
fifty years it has become as vital to industry as
steam to commerce.
Advertising is not a Lurury nor a debaaUe
Dolicu. 1t has progen ats case, Its record is traced
in the skyline of the city where a hundred tower
ing buildings stand as a lesson of reproach to the
men who had the opportunity but not the foresight,
and furnish a constant inspiration to the young
,aSychoat at the threshold of his career.
