Wbat Is a Bargain?

mOST of us, when we think of
liz the meaning of bargain" think first
---and maybe last---of the price, That's why.
so many times, when you see bargains men
toned the price is so strongly emphasized A
good many people seem to be unable to get by
this price fact; it fills the mind and the eye
But moments thought will tell you that the price
only relative thing it may look like very low price
and still be high according to what you get for the money
buy $40 gold pieces at $685. buy all you can get:
that's bargain because you know exactly the value of
what you buy; it's fixed and guaranteed But you could
for instance buy horse for $50 another for $780, and
the latter might be bargain while the former might be
dear at $40 Depends the horse.
Now, that's the way with clothes; whether price is
high or low depends the clothes not the price.
Hart Schafner & Marx Clothes go1d-pece
clothes; the value is guaranteed. Under
selling plan we're selling them at little less than
face value every day in the year.

NO WAR SCARE

President Wilson Not Alarmed
When England Plans

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The at
tempt to create war scare over the
announcement that Great Britain plans
extensive improvements to her naval
base ia Bermuda failed to create even
O ripple in administration circles to-
day. The president in his regular Mon
day talk with the newspaper cores
pondents made it plain that he did
not believe there was any chance Of
a contemplated change Of the Monroe
doctrine. The president Is familiar
with Bermuda aand conditions there,
and said that Great Britain has al
ways maintained a very large naval
base with elaborate nchorage and
docks.
The report that President Wilson
has closed the doors of the white
house against democratic members
who are opposing his currency reform
measure was declared at the execu-
tive office to be unfounded. 1t was
stated today that when this report
was brought to the attention of the
president he suggested to the inform
ant that he was still a gentleman as
we'll as president 1t is stated on au-
thority that the president was al
ready arranging to take the stump and
campaign to arouse sentiment for his
currency plans This was without
foundation. The president has not
changed his mind regarding the neces
sity of getting his bill through the
present session and all information
coming to him indicates almost imme

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
LONDON, Aug. 4.-The crowd that
attended the weekly meeting OF the
Women's Social and Political Union
at the London pavilion was unusually
large, the women evidently hoping
that Mrs. Emmelyn Pankhurst would
appear again as she did last Monday,
when Miss Annie Kenney was rear
rested.
Steps were taken today to guard
all the big churches in England to
prevent If possible a repetition OF
Yesterdays suffragette incident at ST

and thoroughly familiar with the
church, broke in after a chant and
sang a plea for Mrs. Pankhurst Fol
lowing the same music tnat the con
gregation had just used, the women
intoned their chant for the leader
over and over interupting the service
several minutes. The chant follows
Save Emmelyn Pankhurst.

|R|CH EXPRESS CHARGES ARE
| TO BE S[ASHED AND CUT

ate circuitous routes is also ordered
by today's decision. That express
rates shall not be higher In one d.
rection than another, for carrying par.
cells between any two points Is order
ed. Even IL two or more carriers par
ticipate In such service the com
mission declares the rates shall be
uniform.
Modification of rates on small par
GELS. however, is the pre-eminent fea-
ture Of the new order.
Failure to make rate reductions
sooner is explained by the commits
sion as the result Of long continued
Investigations and conferences to
avoid injury either to shippers or the
companies. Where tho commission
and the companies split was over the
high percentage contracts the COM
panies have with the railroads for
carrying express parcels. The COM
panies also contended that parcel
post competition would seriously Grip
pie their business and income.
On these points the commission de-
clared: No common ground could be
found owing to the impossibility OF ac-
ceptance by the commission of the
percentage contracts, as making a
moral or legal necessity for higher
rates than could be otherwise justified.
Increased traffic meets the increased
demands of rail carriers. The newt.
able result must be to be constantly
increasing the cost of service to the
shipper II the commission is to yield
Ito the demand
i The commission declared that IL /,
accepted the railroads express car
riage contracts as binding. the roads
could constantly increase charges and
the public would be "gouged'' for con
Itinued increased charges by railroads
and the express concerns.
A considerable part of the re
spondents' (the express conlpanies)
4 arguments is to the effect that the
lloss Of business to the parcel pos
will go far to reduce their earnings
d The commission declares this i
equivalent to saying that IN as mucl
as shippers have been given the cor
Ivenience and economy of the parce
1post, the express carriers must OF
lthat account be allowed to charg,
higher rates than otherwise would b
reasonable That is to say the com
mission is called upon to take from
1.-The shippers of the country all busl
mess that they receive from the parce
post and give it to the express com
Ipanies In the form Of higher rates ul
on remaining express business.
$50 far as the rail carriers are con
,erned it is of no consequences to then
whether they furnish rail transports
ton for the express companies or tn
postofflce department. That the es
!press companies give away 100000
4 worth OF free service every yea
through franks is asserted by tn
