You did not promise loan?
| NO" shouted the witness
| Mr.. Keene, however, repeated his former
testimony that he had offered to take 1,5U(
shares Of Hooking II Mr.. Haskins would
get other friends to subscribe In answer
| to other questions he denied with ferVor
time and again that he ever talked with
MIR. Haskins about loan.
| Mr. Elkus wanted to know whether MI
Keene had taken the 1,500 shares and when
Mr.. Keene replied In the negative he want

Because he did not deliver them said
the witness. 'I suppose that would have

He said yesterday that after being relieved
of the necessary toe, the loss Of which even
now somewhat impedes his walking, his

with thong of camel hide. Then In e1-

about his sons neck a piece Of parchment,

word 'IaShtizia."
Several months ago Abdul met a Syrian

Wish we could shoot off 4
sale like this every day.
1,5OO pairs of pure silk
socks at 81 cents a pair.
Last summer we got from
one of our German mann.
facturers some pure silk socks
which we sold at 80 cents.
That was then an unheard Of
price for all-silk socks, and the
$4,000 pairs, which were all We
could get, were all too few.
Since then there have been
some other good silk socks sold
at so cents, so we decided We
must do better.
Increased competition among
German manufacturers helped
us, not to speak of the scare
they've had from the produc-
ton of competing lines in
America.
Result-to-day's blast, for
which we've been preparing for
months.
These socks are identical
with those we sold last season at
80 cents.
They are pure silk by our
own test.
Very thin, as fashion de-
