MUST USE FOUR LANGUAGES
Advertisers in Turkey Necessarily
Under a Handicap That Amounts
to a Good Deal.

In order to advertise in CONSTANT
nople it is necessary to use four Ian
guages The market Is hard to culti-
vate, but newspapers give good results
there. The population of CONSTANT
nople is very cosmopolitan, and all the
foreigners speak their own language
and read their own newspapers, writes
Trade Commissioner Eliot G. Mears.
To reach the public in general, adver-
tisements should be published In news
papers of at least four languages.
However, the best results are OBJ
tanned by publication in Turkish news
papers, for, on the one hand, the Turk
sh population is most numerous, and
on the other the Turkish reader is more
susceptible to the claims of advertise
ments than are Europeans and Ar
menians. 1t has been found by expe-
rience that advertising In newspapers
gives very good results in Constanti-
nople. especially if it IS pushed Wig
orOusly.
No advertising is carried on tram
cars. Street advertising is not pro-
tected by law and cannot be recon-
mended to foreign concerns. The cir
ulation of newspapers is not great.
French newspapers have an approx
mate issue of 6000 to 5000, Greek 4
900 to $1,000, Armenian 1000 to 5000,
and Turkish 10000 to $1,000.

Better Weather Forecasts.

Weather forecasts for months ahead
will be possible within a few years as
a direct result of solar observations,
r. NJ Stewart, assistant director Of
the Dominion observatory, told the
Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.
The sun is the great influence over
varying weather conditions on the
earth. and recent observations of it
have led to the belief that observa-
tories will be able to predict with ac-
curacy the general trend Of weather
for six months or even year ahead,
he said.
To be able to foretell the amount
of precipitation and the general
temperature for several months in
advance may take 80 or even 100
years of observation, he added, but
