Interesting Easter Exercises in the

Congregational Church,
The Easter exercises in the Congrega
tionul church were particularly good last
SUNDAY. Perhaps the most attractive Tea
tune was the distribution of plants TO the
children of the primary department. Miss
Bushnell had been Tor weeks collecting
and roofing gcmnlum slips which she
planted IN tiny pots When the children
received the plants IN response TO their
names the happy smiles on their faces
proved that they appreciated the Easter
gift. The names of the 10 little children
belonging to the church were read and
plants were sent to such rs were unable

Evidently Kansas City grain dealers are

The arrangement mentioned above has

Previous TO this statement, Mr.. Wilson

The department has succeeded in securing
practically the actual balance of the rate
on grain from a prescribed territory IN
Nebraska to Memphis, for destination IN
what is known as the southeastern ana
Carolina territory and the Mississippi val

AIR FILTERED THROUGH WATER
Modern VentiIatinE Appliance IL n
Notably Successful Feature In
Brandeis' New Basement.

The visitors at the formal opening OF
Brandeis' new basement salesroom tomor-
row will enjoy the comfort of breathing air
that has been filtered through n sheet of
water, forced through a heating appliance
TO reach a hygienic temperature and famed
throughout the basement with a blast
system.
This is one OF the model features that
makes Brandeis basement unique of it's
kind. Another unusual feature is the pres
ence of more daylight than can be found
in the ordinary main floor store. Thou
sands of prismatic panes of glass in the
sidewalks on the east and north sides Of
the Brandeis building let this flood Of day
light into the basement while the high
ceiling and the pure white finishing in the
newly opened floor adds to the general
effect of brilliancy
These two achievements OF store archi-
lecture are the result of exhaustive study
and the appliance of modern methods by
the builders. The filtered air ventilating
system is close approach to perfection,
and 1t is declared that the air purified by
this process is freer from impurity than
outdoor air in almost any section of the
city
The number and the convenience of the
entrances TO the new basemept salesroom
make another unique feature There are
three large separate entrance ways, one
of which is an inclined plane connected
with the arcade. This makes the fourth
| inclined plane to connect with the east
arcade of the Brandeis stores. Under this
| system a woman may wheel a baby pre-
ambulator from either the basement or the
main floor of the new store to the main
floor or basement of the old store without
encountering a single stair step.
The size Of this new basement, which is
| a block long and a half block wide to-
! Rether with the unusually high ceiling.
! gives the new floor the same appearance
I OF massive size which has been such a
source of comment on the main floor A
perfectly appointed ladies' lavatory, with
beautifully tiled floor is another model
feature that has been installed
The members of the Brandeis firm de-
clare, after an exhaustive study Of the
leading stores of this continent, that this
new salesroom is without exception the
finest basement store in the United States.
One notable innovation in the Brandeis
basement Is the presence OF numerous de-
partments that are all stocked with goods
with a range Of prices that appeal to every
| reasonable requirement In the case Of the
ordinary basement IL is usually filled with
exclusive departments OF lesser prominence
OF devoted 70 the cheaper grades OF mer-
chandise. The proprietOrs say that while
bargains will always be a leading feature
here. the Brandeis basemsnt will be a COM
plete store in itself.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS STRONC
Conservative Party Leaders Admit They
will Gain in Pending Election.
PRoTESTANTs ORGANIZING POLITICALLY
United Effort il to BE Made ia
Reduce Voting Strength of
of Centrist Party in
Reichstag.

BERLIN, Jan 5-The Parliamentary
campaign with the consequent discussion
of internal questions, altogether occupies
public attention. The situation is so con-
fused that foreign observers resident in
Berlin have scarcely the right to form
definite personal opinion. The correspond
ent OF the Associated Press applied today
to one OF the FIVE members Of the
executive committee of the conservative
party for an estimate OF the prob
able results Of the elections. He said
the committee, from some thousands
of reports received from various election
districts Of the empire. believed the center
party would lose few seats, especially In
the second elections in districts where
no candidate gets a majority on the first
ballot. The committee did not expect the
conservatives or liberals TO get the seats,
which may be thus lost by the center
party; they probably would be captured
by the socialists, so that with the exception
of the transfer of the few center party
seats, which will go to the socialists, the
new Reichstag. generally speaking, will
not be much different in composition from
the last.
Protestnnts Organize Politically.
development that may have deep in
fuence on the future is the movement to
organize the protestants church into
political party so as TO counterbalance the
center or clerical party. As the prot
estants form two-thirds OF the population,
the German Evangelstioal league, which
is now placarding the country, argues that
the Catholics, by union at the polls. could
be excluded from any influence In the
Relchstag While opposed to permanent
political activity, the Protestant league ad-
vocates political union In order TO eliminate
Catholic influence from German affairs.
oddly enough, members OF the emperors
encourage are talking Of plan to partly
separate the Prussian government from
the Lutheran State church, as part OF the
movement 70 assist the Protestants TO
organize against the Catholics. Under the
existing state Of affairs as bishop of the
PTussian church, the emperor rules through
his lieutenant, the minister OF public
worship, and the provincial consstortes.
The idea Is that the church In future be
allowed to manage itself, receiving in the
same manner as the Catholic church a
proportionRte share OF the taxes assessed
for the support OF religion.
