to Buy \
a Piano |

is when the piano stores
have more pianos than they
want. Right now is that
time. and the reason:
The renting season is at
an end and we are getting
back Fine Upright and
Grand Pianos faster than
we want them.
Rather than carry this
very large stock over the
summer months and run
the risk of damage and
shop wear we will sell
them at cut prices.
Persons who expect to
buy pianos in the fall can
save .from $50 to $15o by
buying now, and, besides,
we will make the terms
of payment especially low
during the coming three
months. In other words,
we want. a home for many
of these pianos with the
people who contemplate
buying at some near future
time, and we will give you
a genuine, bona fide saving
of real money at the same
time.
How would you like to
get a $3.50 Price & Teeple
Piano for $25o? Or a
$500 Weber for $275? Or
a $500 Ivers & Pond for
$25o? Or a 5000 Vose for
$15o? Well, you can do it,
and ,even more than that
right now and right here.
How,does a $3.50 CHECKER
ing Quarter Grand for $4os
appeal to you? A $375
Fischer Upright for $275?
Or dozens of other pianos?
Some only slightly used;
some scratched; a few
marred in case work; all
splendid musically, and
guaranteed fully and priced
as low as $1oo for an up
right, too. How does all
this sound-like fiction?
Well, if you, reader, are
one of those who want a
real. live bargain, all we
ask of you at this time is
to come to these ware
t rooms and test the truth
Of these statements. Buy
if you want what you see;
don't buy if you don't.

Prof. Willett Says Women Will

Declares Many Faults of Society
Due to Ambitions and the !.
Scramble for Luxury

CHICAGO, July Women always

inscriptions and generally responsible
for large part OF the evils of life, ac-
cording to Professor Herbert L. Willett
of the University OF Chicago divinity
school, who lectured on THE Social
Teachings of the Prophets" yesterday.
The professor alleged that women were
''as wicked" in the time of Amos and
Hosea as they are today.
Professor Willett told the summer
school that of all women's faults her
social climbing was first. He blamed
the society germ for the oppression of
the poor and the recklessness of the
rich. and drew analogies between the
state of affairs in ancient Israel and
contemporary life
The moral levels of a nation can
never rise higher than its womanhood,' .
said Professor Willett. TT was true
in the times of Amos and Hosea and it
is true today. Many of the evils Of
society have been and are due to the
social aspirations and extrava gances of
women.
In the time of Amos. the women
were willing to take money obtained
by bribery. Bribery was one of the
commonest evils of the day. The brides
were used for luxuries for the women.
The women insisted on having the
luxuries.
IN more than one way the evils Of
the days of the prophets were like
these of today. Amos hated iniquity.
He was against authorizations in food,
cheating in weights and measures, un-
fair business combinations and graft
and extortions of all kinds. To read
Amos is like reading a document
printed yesterday. Every evil Of today
had parallel then"
