WOMEN DISCUSS ADS
Tell Advertising Club What Attracts
Average Woman.

That an advertisement set off with
illustrations and containing only few
words to explain the product offered
for sale. is much more effective than
an advertisement with to much talk"
was the statement of Mrs. F. f.
Stauffer. president of the Womcn's
Club at the Advertising Club luncheon
Monday noon in the Gunter Hotel.
To use the words of the chairman
of the meeting. Mrs, II. &. Coulter.
the meeting Monday was an nd clinic"
or ad study. The purpose of the meet
mig was to determine just whaC ap-
peals and what does not appeal to
the average woman.
In order TO make the meeting as
representative rs possible. Mrs. Stauf-
fer, Mrs. Raymond Edwards. Mrs. Will
lis Ranney and Mrs. A. NJ. Nicholson
were designated to give their personal
opinions on newspaper advertising.
The cOncenSus of opinion was that
for an advertisement TO be effective
it must contain only few words, it
must be well illustrated and must have
a large white background.
4 point of peculiar interest to the
club was brought out by the women
representatives. During the course of
discussion the subject of new goods
offered at great price reductions was
brought out. 1t was pointed out by
the womeV that the average woman
pays absolutely no attention to these
values.
All formalitics were abolished at the
meeting Monday. In fact, the gather
ing seemed more like trial, each
member of the club literally firing
questions at the four Witnesses
The four representatives were asked
one question right after another. They
were asked to give their personal viw-
point on each. with the result that
members of the club learned that what
a woman wants in an advertisement is
clear. plain. type. bountiful Illustration
and plenty of white space.

Court Audiences Get Big
"Kick" Out of Domestic
Dramas Enacted in d.
vorce Courts.
BY ROWLAND WOOD.

StpN1lSnt. u y Inc san Antonio Light
New York, Oct. 3f.-The million
dollar Stokes divorce show, now ap-
preaching the end of second highly
successful "season" with the s. X.
o. sign hung out daily. has created
fad in New York for domestic
drama.
Supreme Court Justice AIahonev's
court room, has been packed to cana
city every day since the Stokes show
many new thrills added since last
seascn"-began its engagement three
weeks ago. But it was not lntil
today, when three rival attractions
of the continuous performance va
riety started business in the same
imposing court house with the dingy
interior, that the extent of the popu-
larity of domestic drama became fully
evident.
Ordinarily, week of uncpntesied
divorces. put on in bunch to rl,Ir
up the court calendars, attracts little
attention. The smaller crowds that
attend these continuous performances,
compare normally to a racy upper
cPu3t divorce about the way two
bit movie crowd compares 20 first
night at the opera. But it isn't 20
today.
Things Are Different.
Stephen ..Koslozky. who comes up
from Hester street TO seek a divorce
from Sarah, <who has found life III
the squalid flat he provided Ntou
coloriess for her, has almost rs
breathlessly-and quite as can be-
silken and bejeweled an audience
as have the rich. elderly W. l.. D.
Stokes and his striking auburn haired
young wife. The settings for the
Koslozky case are not as splendid
and the costuming of the east is not
so good-still. the crowds have dis
covered the drama is sometimes bet
ter. For example, Koslozky's voice
trembles with real emotion when he
tells how he first discovered his
Sarah's perfidy. Stokes merely curls
his lips in hate at mention of the
alleged wrong doings of his Helen.
Then, too, the crowds at the
humber shows can be fairly certain
they are getting the real thing. Play
acting in the Stokes case has been so
evident that it, will be n wonder
almost n new scandal-if some men,
bers of the cast are not brought TO
trial for perjury.
Cost Is Enormous.
The concurrent running of the
Stokes case and the three uncontested
divorce sessions-which got down to
business today after "dress rehear-
sal" Monday at which the calendar
was called and the cases marked
ready for trial-provides a striking
evidence of what the Stokes case is
costing the public. The million dol
lar figure above mentioned does not
refer TO the states expense. That
is merely what the Stokes-mostly
Mr.. Stokes-have expended to pro-
duce the show. The cost of running
the court ard paying the judge and
jury is extra.
The three judges, Newberger,
Erlanger and Proskaeur who are run
ming the uncontested divorce calendar
are expected TO dispose of 800 cases
this week--a hundred cases apiece.
Justice MahOney has engaged for
three weeks on this trial of the Stokes
case-long enough TO have tried all
the 800 uncontested cases. The first
Stokes trial, upset on q technicality
after 1t had dragged itself to a vic
tory for Mrs. Stokes, lasted long
enough to have tried some four hun
dred more cases.

WEYCAND In COMMAND

Paris, April 3O.-As a precaution
against what is regarded as the threat
ening gesture of the Turks in con-
ccntrating 10000 troops along the
northern border Of Syria, the French
government has decided to reinforce
its own military strength in the man.
dated territory by two divisions.
This will place 10000 men at the
disposal of General Wcygand, who
sails late this week for Beirut to
take over the duties of French high
commissioner in Syria and commander
of the army in the east.
General Pellc, French high commits
sioner at Constantinople. has been
assured by Ismet Pasha that the
Turks are not concentrating their
forces against France.
More Turks on Way,
A considerable number Of French
colonials have already quietly en-
barked and are on their way to Syria
and two divisions, totalling 2O.O00
men, it is reported, have been decided
upon as reinforcements TO be sent, SO
as to give General Weygand suffi-
cient army.
France now has $4,000 in Syria,
but the northern front is about 200
miles in length, and Turkish army
corps of 10000 is concentrated there,
with additional forces on their way.
The announcement of French mill
tary preparations was made after
Premier POincaire's two-hour talk with
General Pelle, the French high COM
missioner at Constantinople, who first
went to Lausanne and then came to
Paris for conference with the pre-
mier on the general situation.
The government, without divulging
the detail of its future Syrian policy,
simply let it be known through a
semi-official channel, that because of
the massing of Turkish forces across
the border from the French. 1.-The
dispatch of fresh contingents of
French troops taken from the colonial
forces is considered necessary"
Not So, Turks Say.
General Weigand will sail from
Toulon Thursday or Friday for Bel
rut, Syria, to take command of the
situation there, as he succeeded Gen
eral Gourand as French high COM
missioner in Syria ami commander
of the army in the east.
Marshal FoclI and his chief Of staff
have been in numerous conferences
with President Millerand and Premier
Poincare for the last few days.
General Pelle, as high commission
er to Constantinople and delegate to
the Lausanne conference. is in touch
with the Turkish problem. lsinet
Pasha, at Lausanne, assured General
Pelle that there is no Turkish mill
tary concentration against France,
but the French general was able to
give Ismet a list of the Turkish army
units on the Syrian frontier under
David Pasha, who commanded the
front.
