The secret OF success in life is
the ability to see passing oppor-
tunitieS and to have the cour-
age to grasp then. The oUpor-
tUity for US at this season is
when the importers and makers
Of Women'S Suits, Dresses, and
Costumes have "been their
rounds" and supplied the retail
merchants. Then-nOW-they
begin TO reckon how the season
goes with them. One maker
finds that this suit or that dress
costs too much to produce. de-
cideS to "cut them out" and
we get them. OF course. the
imported samples used as
, models and inspirations by the
New York makers have now
served their purpose. We have
contracts for these. Then
there's the predicament of the
maker who creates garments to
special order and later finds his
would-be customer financially
weak. His garments also come
here. Slow payments of others
frequently bring bargains 10 us
and you. For one reason or an
other, its the Cash Stores best
opportunity Just now, and the
fact will be demonstrated to-
morrow most fOrcibly. Hurry
for the samples that include i'm
ported garmentS-they will be
quickly gone.

was made. If the speed of the machine
was as deceptive as the course oil It's
flight there is no telling what rate il was

the starting derrick it seemed TO toe gong

Two Ideal Landings.
The first landing was not characteristic.
1t was rather hard and threw up a
cloud of dust while the machine seemed

succeeding stops We're ideal ON the last

ground for the whole circuit of the field.
He was so close at the end that the
machine touched and threw up a small
cloud of dust. Then it went INTO the
air again and at height of about ten
feet Orvillc cut off the engine and landed
as lightly as though he had been crawl
ing into a feather bed.
The two second fights we're much like
the first. except that there was less of
the alarming fitting on the turns and the
machine climbed higher. making max

The flight down the field was a trying

danger was over. and the fiier started up
the field. climbing a little higher and
showing that she was really out for bust

than the old one and seemed to undulate
a little, but ii was simply the operator
