 Louis D. Brandeis, consul for the commission, vigorously assailed Will lard's position, calling attention that the Baltimore and Ohio, adhered this year to the policy of declaring six per cent dividends despite an annual deficit of more than $3,000,00O in net revenues Brandeis implied that a similar policy had been pursued by all the lines. Willard justified this action because the road had $32 2000, GOO surplus, and it was necessary to continue the dividends in order to maintain control of the line
 Willard said the recent note is sues of $35,0O0.0O0 by the Baltimore and Ohio must be met next June. BIandeis insisted that $22 2,0O0, 900 of taIr $32,000,000 surplus spoken of by Willard consisted in the lines invest ment in securities of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, which is in the hands of a receiver. Bran des said the railroads defended the reduction of practically every rail- road expense except the dividends. W illard said that nothing was per raitted to encroach on the safety of operation.

 were really amazed to find that on
 the top floor nearest the sky on one
 lot more than three carloads of chairs were stored. In another section thousands of dollars worth of beds were wrapped up waiting the time when the Phoenix demand for such fine furniture would be felt. It is necessary in view of the distance from the central market for an insti- tuition of this kind to carry a great deal more stock than a furniture store located much closer to the manufacturing center Doris -Heyman outdid themselves last night in their reception of the guests of the mer-

At the approach of the happy crowds and the question asked And what is this shop noted for. Shoes that's all'' came the response from any one of the employees of the Harry A.

That it was a birth day party was d surprise to the children. MT. and Mrs. Donofrio are living in the new era and know it is more blessed to give than to receive and Helen would rather give than receive gifts on this happy occasion so that is why the coming back to the kindergarten was as full of glow and quick step as the grand march down to Donofrio's-
