 A Costume of Dots.
 Miss Jennie Levystein impersonated the dots at the Purim ball given at the Audi torium last Thursday evening by wearing a costume made of dot material, consist ing of blank charts and the original ad- vertising matter appearing daily cut from the papers and used for decorating her costume to represent the Dot Editor in an original manner.
 The makeup was very clever and at- tracted much attention. Every detail was carefully looked after, even the supple ment sheet issued as a forerunner of the contest being used to good advantage.
 The card cut from the front page bear ing the inscription See the dots on the other side was worn neatly over the front of the waist. and on the back was a suggestive cartoon of the difficult task many contestants experience In solving the dot problem.

Letter to Mr.. M. x. Prime,
Oskaloosa, Iowa.


Dear Sir: You know a good paint
when you see it. Devoe Ready Paint
is the paint that costs half as much
as lead and oil because it wears twice
as long.
But it looks no better, when first
put on.
You must wait a little to see the
difference.
The first summer takes off the gloss
Of lead and oil; the second summer
it chalks; the third, it wants repaint
ing. 1t probably spots in a month
or six weeks: the gloss goes off In
spots or in sections.
Devoe Ready Paint even holds its
gloss longer than lead and oil wears
The loss of gloss marks the begin
ming of wear, but it keeps out water
ten years, under favorable conditions
Painters think three years is
enough. 1t is for lead and oil.
Yours truly,
F. w. Devoe & Co.
P. S. Devoe Paint is sold by Greer
& Bentley Drug Co.

Two Men Killed, 1--WE Dytng and
Five Badly Hart.
NEW YORK. Dee. 24.-TwO men
were killed. two are dying and five 9th
ers were severely injured by, the falling
In of ffty-one girGers in the old TE!-.
teenth Regiment armory at Flatbush
and Atlantic avenues. Brooklyn.
The old armory is being torn down
to make way for the new Long Island
railroad station. The contract was
given to Joseph NJ. Cohn. and he sub.
let it to man named Levine.
Levine's men had permit from the
building department to tear down the
building. The roof already had been
removed and the men had started at
work to remove five big girders, or
beams.
1t is said that they disobeyed instruc.
tons of the building department in the
way they proceeded They tried to pull
one of the beams out with block and
tackle When it came down all the
others followed.
A portion of the west wall, on the
Hanson place side fell at the same
time. The two men who were killed
were almost directly under the falling
beams. Those who were injured had
been up on the wall.
One arrest was made in connection
with the accident. The prisoner re-
fused to give his name but the police
say he is connected with the con-
tractors.
