advertising GETS
BIG BOOST DURING
ADDRESS

WASHINGTON, Oct, 81. = up - Presi-
dent Coolidge feels that advertising
has taken a commanding hand in
bringing about "our American scale
of wages" the maintenance of which
he believes is paramount to the sup
port of the home market.
Speaking tonight at the annual ban
quet of the American Association OF
Advertising Agencies, The president
held it would not be remiss to describe
advertising as the life of trade and
as the foundation for much of the
success of the American industrial sys-
tenn"
"The pre- commence of American in
dustry, which has constantly brought
about reduction of costs" the presl-
dent asserts, has come very largely
through mass production. Mass produc-
tion is only possible where there is
mass demand.
MASS demand has been created al
most entirely through the development
of advertising.
I'm former days goods were expected
to sell themselves. Modern business
could never have been created, nor can
it be maintained, on such system.
1t is not enough that goods are
made, demand for them must also be
made. 1t is on this foundation of en-
larging production through the de-
mands created by advertising that
much of the success of the American
Industrial system rests.

EARTH SHOCKS YET
INTERMITTENT IN
ARMENIAN CITIES

LININAKAN, Armenia, oct. 81 Up
Intermittent earth shocks continue In
Armenia and thousands OF the popu-
Iation, shelterless since the quakes
began on Friday night remain in
mental agony lest another more vio.
lent quake complete their doom.
Between noon yesterday and 1
o'clock today five consecutive shocks
were felt in the region where Is
villages already are in ruins and the
death toll has been placed as high
as 500, with 1000 others manned or
missing.
American relief workers, half OF
whom are women today were near
physical and nervous exhaustion due
to overwork and the terrific uncer-
Itainty caused by the recurring earth
shocks which give the impression that
roofs may collapse at any moment.
For five days and nights the Ameri-
cans have been without sleep or ade-
quate rest, caring not only for Their
5000 Armenian orphans, who bur-
rowed like little gnomes in the open
fields but attending the grievously
injured natives.
DR.. Walter sisson of Wduseon, o.
assisted by his wife and a nurse,
MISS Edna Steiger, of WiIiamsport,
Pa, performed I30 operations by
candle light since Friday.
The number of sick pc: sons has
increased alarmingly and The Ameri-
can hospital is filled with critical
cases.
A special government commission,
sent to the stricken area, has esti..
mated that the damage to- buildings

the houses in the, city are ulinhabit-
able. Standing quite intact in the
midst of all the ruin ana desolation
about it, is the Byzantine church
built by Russian Cossacks in Czarist
days where American relief workers
were wont to worship, its multiple
gold crosses g1istering like symbols

TOLEDO POLICE SURE
CLUBBER STILL RUNS
AT LARGE In CITY

TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 27.-(P-Recov-
cry of purse that was taken from
Miss Lily Dale Croy, 26, slain school
teacher, and the finding of a heavy
iron bar, believed to be the INSTRUMENT
with which she was beaten to death,
brought the police nearer today to To-
ledo's notorious clubber.
The young woman's purse was found
on a sidewalk downtown. 1t had been
dropped. police believed, not more than
half an hour before pedestrian pick
ed it up. This convinced detectives
that the clubber still is roaming the
streets here.
The purse was engraved with Miss
Croy's name and address. When she
left her home Monday night to attend
classes at Toledo university she had
50 in the purse. This money was miss
ing as well as the automobile keys and
calling cards which she carried.
An iron bar about foot long and
weighing between six and eight pounds
is believed to have been the clubber's
weapon. 1t was recovered today by
James Harrison, a negro, from a re-
fuse pile in the vicinity of Washington
school where Miss Croy's boyd was
found under fire escape early Tues
day morning.
Post mortem examination has re-
vealed that Miss Croy was struck on
the head eight times and criminally
assaulted. Her death has been attrib-
uted to the clubber who murdered three
Toledo women last year. Rewards for
the capture of the slayer reached $4,000
today.
Patrolmen who failed to break into
the home of Mrs. Mary Alden, AZ, after
the report of shooting there yester-
day morning were called before police
officials today for questioning. They
left the house when they found it
locked. The woman's husband found
her shot to death last night. Authori-
ties announced today that the clubber
had no connection with the Staying of

HALL OF JUSTICE, LOS
ANGELES, Oct. 27 (AP)-
Tears spattered the witness
box today for the first time
in more than four weeks Of
the preliminary hearing OF
Aimee Senple Mcpherson,
Angelus temple evangelist,
on charges Of criminal con-
spiracy.
Mrs. Blanche Rice, manager of the
temple, wept copiously as she de-
scribed "the drawn and agonized"
face of Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mother
and fellow defendant of Mrs. Nc
Pherson, when she was informed that
her daughter was missing and prob
ably drowned" at the beach May 1S,
last.
Mrs. McPherson's temperance at
Douglas, Ariz., June %, with story
of having been kidnapped and held for
ransom ended the drowning theory
and started an investigation which
finally came into court in the form
Of charges accusing her, her mother,
and Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman-Sielaff Of
conspiring to manufacture evidence
supporting the alleged abduction.
Today's proceedings also were
marked by the announcement of S. S.
Hahn, attorney for Mrs. Wiseman,
shat he would produce tomorrow Rob-
ert Wiseman, 10 -year-old son of Mrs.
W:seman, who was missing yesterday
when the evangelfst's attorney de-
manded that he be put on the stand.
Hahn, in an argument with w. I.
Gilbert, of Mrs. McPhcrson's counsel,
enIivened the session with the state
ment that he had evidence to prove
that Mrs. Mcpherson knows the
whereabouts of Kenneth G. Ormiston,
her former radio operator, a fugitive,
.lnder charges similar to those laid
against herself, and that she was in
communication with him when she
was appealing to him via radio and
the press to return and tell what he
Knows.
Ormiston. the prosecution contends,

the evangelist during part of the pc
riod she was believed to have been
drowned, but during which time she
says she was held by kidnapers.

titled to the grief manifested by Mrs.
Kennedy on learning of the disap-
pearance OF her daughter. Miss Jor-
dan, who teaches one of the Bible
classes at Angelus temple, said nc

to her knowledge.
Miss Maude " Gano, landlady al
the. house where Mrs. Wiseman lived
from May until July, was placed or

flying certain checks said TO have
been issued by Mrs. Wiseman.
Hahn objected vigorously to the
checks being placed in evidence, an
so did the witness. Mrs. Gano saic
she wanted them in an action in an
other courr. They were given bacl
