After Christmas
ARGAINS S!

When we purchase our Stocks f o r the Christmas
season we would like to be able to purchase just enough
so that there wouldn't be any unreasonable goods left
over. But that isn't possible, so, in accordance with
our policy of having large, complete stocks, we pur-
chase very literally so as not to disappoint.
The result is that after Christmas day we are sure to
have here and there a lot of Christmas goods on hand.
These we do not care to carry over into next season,
so we cutthe prices toreduce the stocks quickly to normal.
This affords after Christmas Shoppers a great opportunity for
saving money. Those who have been presented with cash will
find this opportunity especially advantageous, they can spend
their Xmas money and get more for it than they had calculated.
While we list only a comparatively few items, it must be remem-
bered that throughout the store y o u will find many others
equally attractive
The items will continue on sale as long as the respective lots last

Ancient Records Throw Little Light on
Their Origin.
Fremont in his recent work on the
origin Of screws and gears brings out
some interesting points on this sub
ject, says the Scientific American. The
Greeks are supposed to have invented
the screw, but the two Roman authors
Pliny and Vitruvius give the most an
cient record we possess on the subject,
although it must certainly have been
known long before their time. Ger
tain authors think that the idea of the
, screw comes from observation Of
natural object Of helical form, such as
q gasteropod moll1sk, but Fremont
i thinks that It arises from forms in
movement. For instance, when an edi-
BILE snail is drawn out Of its shell we
have the idea Of screw and nut. On
fortunately the ancient records throw
scarcely any light on the subject. The
principle Of the screw seems to have
been but little used until the middle
ages, when it was first applied for.

During the first centuries of our era
bolt and nut were replaced by thread

conical pin, so that driving in the pin
