(The biggest order ever placed by
any firm or corporation for type-
writers for their own use) because
their own mechanical experts, she
ting as a jury, said it was unques.
tionably the best.
They examined all competing
makes, tested them under every
condition of stress and strain, and
voted unanimously in favor of the
L. C. Smith & Bros. The DuPonts
thus rendered you sn invaluable
service. Lacking mechanical ex-
perts of your own you can safely
rely upon the decision of these five
engineers, at the height of their call,
ing, who were willing to stake
their professional reputation on
the L. C. Smith- & Bros. Tyepwriter.
Many large concerns have al-
ready been guided by this expert
opinion and have standardized, as
lite DuPonts did, with the type-
writer that stood the fest. There
could be no test more thorough, or
more unbalsed decisions.

Farreaching authority. - , .
To a foreigner no feature of German
life is more striking than the prime

of the police. Many of its functions
are such as in the United States could
be intrusted only to a court onwaw.

the greater part of these functionary
exercised quite independently of the
local government.

A WEIRD INCIDENT.
Chopin’s Funeral March Was’ Inspired
by a Skeleton.
Late-one summer’s afternoon, said.
Zlem. Chopin and I sat talking in my
studio. in one corner of the room
stood it piano and in andther the com-
plete skeleton ur n man with a large
white elofh thrown, ghostlike, about it.
1 notice mhit now null again Chopin’s
gaze would wander, and from my
knowledge of the man I knew that Ida
thoughts -were fur away from me and
Lis surroundings. More than that, 1
knew that he was composing.
l’resently he rose from his aeat with-
out n word, walked over to the skele-
ton and removed the cloth. He then
carried It to the piano and, seating
himself, took the hideous object, upon
his kucea-a strange picture of life and
death
Thru, drawing the white cloth round
himself and the skeleton, he laid the
latter’s fingers over his own and began
to play. There was no hesitation in
the slow, measured Sow Of sound
which he and the skeleton conjured
up. As the muste swelled in a louder
strain 1 cloned my eyes, for there was
something weird in that picture of
man and skeleton seated at the piano,
with the shadows of evening deepens
ing around them and the ever swelling
and ever softening inusle idling the air
with mystery. And t knew t was Ils-
tening to a composition which would
live forever. "
The music ceased, and when 1 looked
up the piano chair was empty, and on’
the floor lay Chioplu’s unconscious
form, and beside him. smashed all to
pieces, was the skeleton 1 prized so
much. The great composer had swonn-
ed, but his march was found.
A BATHLESS AGE.
: "PI
For a Theidand Years the People of
Europe Went Unwashed.
When Egypt, Greece and Rome were
at the height of their ancient power
their citizens made bathing, a social
function, a municipal duty and a re
ligious observance. The public baths
of these nations were magnificent ar
chitecturally and important as centers
of Hygienic and municipal sentiment.
With the decadence of these conn
tries the world seems to have reverted
to a period of mental sloth and pussi

Correct Styles Reflected
in Advertising —
By SETH BROWN
There are a great many women who take considerable pains to read differ-
ent fashion publications on correct dress and at the same time overlook
the fact that, as rule, the local newspaper ‘advertising can be relied
• upon as expressing the best statements in regard to styles. - '»
Dealers have to view this matter quite different y from the ordinary writer
in a magazine. They have to know what the people want and what
they will buy and therefore their knowledge in regard to styles is practi-s -
cal and up-to-date. 11.69 * 1 *= (
The average article on styles is prepared at least six months before the
styles are supposed to go into effect, and therefore it is only natural
that these styles frequently miscarry. .
In other words, it is frequently found that the public refuses to buy what
Dame Fashion decided is correct, and therefore the true index of fashion
is always to obtain through the dealers.
Up-to-date dealers reflect such information in their advertising.
■ i i, i i :
It is really the only up-to-the-minute and correct standard, because it tells
you just what the best dressed women are now buying..
Not what somebody thinks about it.
