NEW SPRING STYLES
are now ready in
Hart SChaffner & Marx
Fine Clothes

It's always an event which
deserves notice when new sea
son in mems clothes starts; es-
pecially when the clothes are
such as we're showing from Hart
Schaifner S Marx. Never before
in the history of the clothing
business have we known so fine
line of goods as these. The mo-
dels designed for young men are
especially attractive. Special
fabrics are chosen for these goods;
patterns and colorings that are a
little livelier than older men
wear. The models are the work
of special designers who give
their attention exclusively to the
creation of young mems clothes.
The new tariff law makes it
possible to use in ready clothes
many imported weaves which
have heretofore been too costly
for such uses. The usual very
large range OF IaDrlcS ana pat
terms in American goods will not
be less, Checks, plaids, tartans,
Shepherd plaids, Glen Urquhart
plaids, black-and. white, blue

GUARD SECRET CODE BOOK
Signals to Be Used by Navy In Time
Of War One Of the Most Close
Of Secrets.

Few things are 80 jealousy guarded
as the secret code book OF the United
States navy. 1t is book of signals
not the ordinary "wig-wag" signals
used In the daily direction Of the fleet
by a commanding officer-but code
OF signals to be used solely in time Of
war and In the presence Of an enemy.
These secret code books are issued
only to the executive officers Of ship,
who are enioined to protect them
against theft by every possible means.
These books are threatened not so
much by the ordinary thief as by Sc
cret emlsBaries Of other governments
who desire to obtain knowledge OF
what our battleships would do in time
OF action. Governments have no scru-
pies against theft in such cases.
The loss of one of these secret code
books by an officer, unless explained
to the entire satisfaction of the secre-
tary of the navy, would mean court
martial and probable expulsion from
the service. To the honor of our SER
vice, no officer has ever yet been
brought up charged with loss,
The hooks are bound in heavy metal
covers, 80 that In time Of threatened
capture they may be thrown over
board, sinking at once 20 the bottom

FIND TOMB OF ScYTHIAN KING
Unprecedented Discovery That Has
Delighted Archeologlsts the
World over.

An exceedingly rare and valuable
archaeological find Is reported from the
province OF Tauris BLACK Seal from
spot known as Great Zinamenka,
near which Is an ancient burial mound
of unusual dimensions. Excavations
here resulted in the find at a depth
of over 60 feet of a Scythian kings
tomb. The bones lay in a porous
carved stone sarcophagus, which had
been adorned with plates of gold and
silver of varying size and weight. No
fewer than 246 Of these we're found,
The SHELTON is well preserved and sur
rounded with invaluable specimens of
contemporary art. Round the neck
was a heavy gold collar adorned with
exquisite enamel work. Under the
skull lay a bronze helmet Of Greek
pattern and the full panoply OF a
warrior-breastpla thigh and shin
pieces, all of Greek workmanship. By
the side of the dead monarch lay two
swords with hits and sheaths OF
wrought Bolu.
Such a complete find is believed to
be unprecedented. The sarcophagus
likewise contained nine great silver
vases, the inestimable value Of which
lies in the fact that they bear series
Of admirably-executed bas-reliefs Illus
trating the daily life of the ancient
Scythians. A large gold salyer
adorned with figures of birds and fish
and a golden comb of unique work
manshlp, complete the list of articles
found The comb is of pure gold and
weighs over pound, and its 10 teeth
are in the form of IS distinct little
statuets, also illustrating the scenes
of ordinary Scythian life. The In
trinsic value of this find must be con
siderable, but its value for the pur
poses of archaeological research Ia be
yond estimation.

Identified THEM AT ONCE
Happy Remark Credited to Young ser-
lin Girl Soon After the War
In the Balkans.

One of the results of the internation'
al notoTiety and the quasi-internation-
al standing acquired by the Balkan
peoples as a consequence OF their sue
cessful campaigns against the Turk
was an invasion of the larger capitals
of Europe by subjects Of Car Ferdi-
nand, King Peter, King Nicholas, King
Constantine, and the rest. These
gentry provided new type Of tourist
and thus invited the attention OF the
local jest makers, Also, as everybody
knows, there was leal of talk about
the atrocities practiced by the Bulgars
and their kin on the helpless Mussul'
man and on each other. There was
even an international commission in
yestigating the matter. That even the
young misses in Berlin heard about It
is proved by the following story. A
couple of young chlts out for walk
caught sight of two strangers among
the promenaders in Inter den Linden
The dress, the sef-conscious bearing,
everything about the strangers,
marked them as exotic persons.
What sort of men-creatures may
those be?" inquired the first young
chit, identifying the victims with II
swift glance and disdainful gesture
oh" answered the second, with ali
eloquent toss of the head, zone OF
them is Montehegrin. and the other
is some other sort of Balkan atrocity."

Cats suffered badly some years ago
from the policy of the French govern.
ment One result of the laws direct
ed by M. Combes against religious or

peaceful shelter in monasteries and
converts. So many of these unfortun-

streets that a society was formed
to succor them, the first pres
ident being M, Pierre Lott whose

seems from the injustness OF the crit

have been willingly sacrificed to
save the election of the Democratic

had made tho laying off of several

The July crop report, the last before

chief cereals at 5,21O,oO0,o00 bushels,
and their value at fye-year-averagc
prices at about $3,2l8,o0O.00o. The No
yember report shows the harvested
yield OF wheat, corn, oats and barley
at 100000 bushels; but values
have risen to $S,32S,OO0,000.
The record.breakng wheat crop is
the leader In this wonderful movement,
with yield greater than last years by
12S,0O0,000 bushels, and an increas in
value of $271,000,0OO. But corn also
has surpassed 1913 by SIS, 100000 and
reached new record in point of value.
The total of $5,00O,OO0.000 for twelve

startling decline of November cotton
from $SSo,oOO,0oO in 1918 to s462,OOO,-
