THE FALL STYLES ARE HERE

As usual, the Dorothy Dodd mod
els for the new season are up to the
minute in style. We are just dis
playing our Fall assortment.
A woman can have neat, snap
py footwear, no matter what kind of
weather she is preparing for. There's
no excuse for wearing light shoes in
damp weather for the sake of their
lightness and attractive appearance.
You will be proud of your feet in
any Dorothy Dodd shoe--even the
strongest and heaviest models have
delightful appearance of grace.
Dorothy Dodd Shoes are comfort
able from the first. There's no rea-
son for supposing that style needs to
mean discomfort. You will be as
tonished to see how little difference
in feeling there is between an old
shoe and new dorothy Dodd."
That's just one more proof that Dor
othy Dodd Shoes are made right.

An Ega Nineteen Centuries Old.

Some time ago a party of explorers members of the Archaeological society of Mayence-found during their exca- vations in the Moguntiacum a hens egg which, it was estimated, had been buried no less than 10 centuries. Mo- gUntiacum was built by Drusus, the son of the Roman emperor Augustus, in the year of II B. C.
 Upon the site of the ancient Roman castrum or encampment near the city the excavations in question brought to light many interesting relics. including some water cisterns of Roman make.
 IL was in one of these, which was located 20 feet below tho ground, that a damaged Roman clay pot was found containing the shell of broken egg and also a whole egg that had been kept from being smashed by a shred of the damaged pot which covered it. The ancient egg was turned over to the municipal museum.
