THERE'S A RLASON

for everything, if we only look for it. The
palm Of vehicle supremacy would not be
held by me unless there was reson for
it. People don't admire and buy certain
goods and give repeat orders, unless they
have their reasons for doing so. If a man
tells you that a certain mans carriages are
the best on the market you may depend
upon it that he has a reason for saying
so. If the man is an honest man. and
knows what he is talking about, you would
naturally feel interested in his reasons
and that is exactly the point in my work.

AIRSHlP PATROL
 ALONG COASTS

Washington, June S.-The creation of a. big fleet of war balloons. with de- pots at strategic points along the coasts of the United States in which the aerial craft may be housed be- tween flights. is the task set for Major George o. SQuier of the Signal Corps. Major Squier has received instructions to prepare plans for the aerial defense of the Atlantic Coast, and he set to work enthusiastically. The plans, when completed and approved, will serve as a model for the Pacific and Gulf Coasts.
 The War Department is convinced, in the light of the achievement of the Zeppelin balloon, that the era of aerial navigation has arrived. It hopes that Congress also will awake to a realiza- ton of the fact, and that appropri- tfons will be made sufficient to permit this Government to keep pace with the European nations. It is in anticipation of favorable action by Congress that the Signal Corps has been instructed to preparo the plans.
 While Major SQuier has not yet gone into the technicalities of %he matter he has general idea of the manner in which the plan will be worked out. The coast will be separated into ellipses approximating 250 miles in length, and at each end of these will be built two or three balloon houses and supply depotS. The houses will be placed with a view to close cooperation with the artillery depots or zones, thus gaining whenever the men behind the big guns discover the necessity of reconnoiter- ing the enemy's position by the use of a balloon.

 Men Dress Well Nowadays.
 Dress is no more a problem for the average man. The last few years have witnessed marvellous advances in the eaiiOIihS art as dppIleu to making clothing for men ready to wear. The most skilled craftsmen in the country have been located and employed by the greatest tailoring concern. Enormous salaries are paid for successful design CTS of styles. Every operation in the making of a garment has been specia- lized to the finest point of perfect pro- duction. The leading cloth mills weave thousands of yards of patterns especi- ally for the great clothing makers The ready-for-service clothier is now the man who shows the exclusive weaves and colorings, not the suit-at-a-time tailor. Thus it is that today a man may walk into store such as Meigs & Co.'S. and for few dollars select a suit which in material, tailoring, style, fit and service is the marvel of the age, combining the experience and skill and brains of the vast organiza- ton trained to twentieth century per- lection.
