NOw the Women and Girls
May Share the Sterling Bicycles
At $3.50

They are equipped with New Departure Coaster Brakes and
Wanamaker Continental Tires, 20 and 22inch drop frames and
fully guaranteed in every particular. Our Sale of Mems Sterling
Bicycles was a tremendous success, and many women were
disappointed to find that the bicycles were all with diamond
frames. While the factory had no large surplus OF women's
bicycles to dispose OF, we were able to secure this limited quantity
to sell at just a little more than the mems wheels, and they are
ready today. ..
Sterling Bicycles ar known the country over for their splendid construc-
ton-"Bult Like a Watch The fact that they are constructed by the Pope
Manufacturing Co. is sufficient guarantee of their splendid qualities. Their
original price was SIS, though W e believe that ONE were sold previously with
out coaster brakes for s35. Now equipped with New Departure Brakes they
are priced at $50 for men, and s2l 5o, for women both styles in 20 and Pinch
frames, with 2sinch wheels.
Best bicycle offering made in years, and is likely to be the only one Of its
class this season.
You had better be prompt to avoid disappointment.

Comedy Scene "The Isle of Spice"

Fly If | were to go into statistics re- gardins popular music of the last dozen years the figures would look something like the census sheets of the Chinese empire Sousa's compositions lead the list by an almost inealcuable gap, and there is no one in 6 position to say eN- actly how many copies of the Washing ton Post and High School Cadets have been sold. Those were the two most popular marches ever published in Amer lea or Europe. Sousa sold the two pieces outright for S35 each, littie dreaming of their fabulous success so soon after, and therefore no royalty lists were obtainable from which to gauge the actual sale l should not wonder if the figures reach into the millions
 Not very long after the appearance of the Stars and Stripes Forever. Sou sa's publishers reported to him sale of 626973 copies and in an incredibly short space of time King Cotton touched 29I- OPS copies sold and the Liberty Bell 26S.32S Add to those the sales ot Man haitian Beach, El Capitan' march and other Sousa faVorltes, and you will real ize why the publishers of twenty and more years ago rub their eyes and gasp when they note the Voracious musical appetite of our present public.
 Sousa himself who Is always fond of joke. even though 1t be at his own eX- pense, once defined popular music as music which is so popular that 1t be- comes unpopular" TO which the impar- tial observer must make the addenddm that sousa's music is long time becom- ing unpopular.
