CROWDS BEFORE
RELIC OF ST. ANNE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. July 26.-ro-day is the
Feast OF St. Anne, and tho afflicted, who
came with faith in their hearts, to pray
before the relic OF the saint IN the Church
OF ST. Jean de Baptiste. in East 18th street,
crowded the streets long before the church
was opened From ali sections OF the city
came crowds larger than those that for
the past nine days packed the little church
IN the belief that a sight and touch Of
the bit of wrist bone from tho mother OF
the Blessed Virgin win cure their worldly
Ills.
Men and women knelt on the sidewalk
and IN the street while awaiting their
turn TO enter the church; there was low
dreaming sound as hundreds repeated their
rosaries: here and there came the wall Of
a sick child Il was a strange sight In the
heart OF the busiest Metropolis in the
world. Worlxingmcn were there, with the
dinner pals, kneelng side by side with
stenographers and shop girls. School chill
dren walked at the side Of the shufning
crippies. The poor and the rtch. the halt
and the blind. all we're there to do rever-
ence to ST. Anne.
Inside the church the Rev. Father
Letellier stood az the chancel rail
holding up the relic. IL is encased in
a silver caslSet. in one side Of which
is set piece of glass through which
the relic may be seen. With reverent
hands the priest would present It 70
each supplicant TO be kissed. To those
who had MANNED limbs or who wera
blind. he would pass the blk slowly
over the afflicted place. giving n little
more time 70 those who were un-
/ fortunate In their afilictions.
Cries OF jubilation filled the chapel
when some pilgrim felt strength re-
turning after sight of the relic.
"Please Good st. Anne make me well
like wab before ] was hurt by the
street car" walled one little fellow
and the good priest broke down and
wept
Devoutly the boy knelt and kissed at
/ the relic. after which the priest pass
/ ed IT over the AFFLICTED spot. The boy
/ struggled 70 his feet. walking much
better than before
"No doubt a partial cure" said the
priest. 'for we have had several. Lasi
week there was cured blind man ana
crippled woman"
AS the crowds outside heard thu
news. they prayed the harder and
struggled onward toward their seal
the sacred relic.

LONDON. July 26.--London gave a tre-
mendous welcome 10 Louis Bleriot, the
French aeronaut who crossed the Eng

morning. when 100000 people met him at
the station and another half million
cheered him on his way to the Savoy Ho-

lIhndreds Of notable figures in England
Joined IN the vast throng and submitted

ton speech was made by Lord North

Atmosphere Conducive
To Attracting Crowds

Q A prominent out-of-toWn business man, who
manages large department store in town
not a thousand miles from Wilmington, was
visitor to this city Saturday. He visited
several of the large stores here, and in
speaking of his visit. he said
q ''What your stores lack is Atmosphere
There is nothing absolutely nothing that is
more conducive to attracting shoppers than
Atmosphere We have discovered that
the average shopper will spend far more
money in crowded store than in a store
that is only half full To get the crowd is
the eternal question that confronts us all.
But the crowds can be induced to come if
the 'Ad Man Knows How to pull them.
He must have something new to say every
day. Women like to read advertisements,
and so do many men. AS a commercial
asset the-make-yoursef-at- atmos-
phere beats the spasmodic bargains be-
low cost announcement all to pieces---this
Atmosphere is the feeling fatal to the
lOoSening of purse strings.
q Again many stores believe in cutting their
advertisements in July. To us it is just the
reverse, and we find that it pays Shoppers
have money to spend in July and August
just as they have in later months, and they
are willing to spend it if the ad man Knows
How to induce them. No; We don't cut
advertising in the summer months.
q "Its really study to watch women buy
Women like to deal in store where they
know they may just chance across Mrs. SO
and So Girls like to meet their girl chums
in a store that's worthy of vista store
where they can rest the while they wait
To keep them there the store must have at
mosphere'---to induce them to buy whether
they want to or not can be done if the store
has pleased the woman who waited there
Many women buy whether they need any
thing or not but selling is the merchants
business he is not to ask questions
q I'VE believe in atmosphere and strong adj
vertising," he said.

In the official blue print issued by the

was given as 10 per cent; evidently sim-
liar error 20 those that appear on the blue

possible for any coal containing 10 per
cent Of ash TO give an actual evaporation
OF SO pounds at this plant. On this blue
