MEMS SUITS AT $4,000. Most
clothing stores sell more clothes at
$500 than at $4,000. That's because
they don't give the values we do for
$4,000. We have thoroughly satisf-
ed many a former $500 suit wearer
from our $4,000 line. Perhaps you
would like our $4,000 suits better than
any you have ever worn. Come and
see.
LOW PRICED SUITS FOR MEN.
At $500 and $500, you will find
here a range Of styles and patterns
most creditable, and at $1,000 and
$3.50, we offer the selection of hard
to-beat-values too. Yes, we have a
few suits for less money, as good as
can be had anywhere, but honestly we
can't see how any man would would
want to buy them after he sees our
better ones.
HEAVY PANTS FOR OUTDOOR
WORK Frs. No where else does real
good wool count more That's why
we make sure that our heavy pants
are made of real wool that will keep a
man warm and give him long service.
We sell more at $3.50 than any other
price, but the ones at $500 are "cork-
ers" and we have them at $500 and
less, that will equal the best you have
ever seen at the price.
TROUSERS FOR DRESS WEAR.
You may consider $3.50 enough to pay
for a pair, or perhaps you think $500
about right, but no matter what your
price-whether you want to pay as
little as $500 or as much as $3.50, we
believe we can please you thoroughly
and fit you perfectly with pair of
trousers in the style and fabric you
desire.
MADE TO- ORDER CLOTHES
FOR MEN. Men who get their
clothes made to order are apt to be

Secretary ]. Austin Ellison. of the

the executive officers of the Board
know from where the odors of Sunday

that caused many persons to suffer

persons or corporations responsible
for the odors." said Mr.. Ellison.
I'VE traced the odors out on Sunday
night and Monday morning, but we
must have testimony of witnesses in
addition to Board of Health officers
If we are to convict. If any person
who detects the odor will notify us
and accompany a Board of Health
officer we will trace and identify il
and make out a case in court. The
trouble is everybody is unwilling TO
appear in court as a witness in such

Believing that her daughter, Miss
Bessie Hamilton, 25 years old, who
disappeared after leaving her home
here to take a boat for Philadelphia,
is the victim Of foul play, Mrs Anna
NJ. Hess. of No. 917 Lowering avenue,
today asked the police Of Wilmington
Philadelphia to help her locate
the young woman. A wide search
was under way this Afternoon in both
cities but up to a late hour no trace
of the girl was found.
Miss Hamilton, who is Mrs. Hess
daughter by her first husband. was
seen last when she left her mothers
home two weeks ago this afternoon
TO take a Wilson Line ferry for Phil

home of Walter Parker. at Ardmore.
Pa, where she has lived for the past
twelve years. Not receiving any let
ters from her after she left. Mrs.
Hess became anxious and yesterday
telephoned to the Parker residence
where she was told that the young
woman had not reached there two
weeks ago
Il am sure she would write to me
If she was able" said Mrs Hess to
an EVENING JOURNAL representa-
tive today. she always wrote TO
us and her silence makes me believe
that something terrible has happened
to her. Bessie was a quiet girl and
had no young men friends. She had
made the boat trip to Philadelphia
many times, but now ] know some
thing has happened to her"
Mrs. Hess said Miss Hamilton came "a
Wilmington about five weeks ago when
she sent for her. 81 was i'll and needed
her with me and she came. On Wednes-
day. two weeks ago. she said she was
going to return 10 Philadelphia, and. OF
course, thought nothing of it. She had
very little money with her. She had
no relatives except in Chester, Pa. and
l communicated with them and they
they have seen no trace of her.
Aliss Hamilton is described as an at
tractive young woman. She is 25 years
old. weighs about leo pounds. is about
five feet high and was dressed when last
seen here in a blue and white waist. a
plaid skirt, black pumps with gray
cloth tops and a blue hat of small de-
sign She has a fair complexion, light
blue eyes and light brown hair. She
carried a black valise and a mixed coat
Efforts are being made by the Will
mington police today TO learn if Miss
Hamilton boarded the Wilson Line boat
at O'Clock on the afternoon Of July z
As it was so long ago. it is said it is
doubtful whether or not this fact can be
established Arriving in Philadelphia
according to her mother, she would have
taken the elevated and subway TO Sixty

Members of the City Club were
anxious yesterday for the success of
their might in Toxic" Particularly
we're they solicitous that the beauti-
ful Japanese decorations should not
be hung out in the pergola garden on
the roof and be ruined by rain. They
felt the evening would be successful
socially. whether or not the sprinkle
came, but they didn't care 10 sacrifice
the decorations.
. So George H. Kerr. chairman Of
the entertainment committee, decided
to telephone the weather bureau in
Philadelphia to get an expert opinion
as TO the possibility Of rain.
Mr. Kerr explained carefully the
plans of the City Club and inquired
of the forecaster whether he thought
there would be rain during last night
Go ahead and hang out your decor
ations,' confidently replied the
weather forecaster. "You won't have
any rain in Wilmington today or to-
night"
Mr. Kerr. elated. told the commit
tee and the roof garden was trans
formed into a scene of Oriental
splendor by the use of elaborate
decorations
How accurately the weather mans
assurance of mo rain" came true
everybody knows. The committee was
able to gather in most of the decora-
tions before the downpour could
damage them
Mr.. Kerr said the weather experts
prediction reminded him Of Dooleys
story about the weather forecaster
whom he described as a man who
looked wisely about the sky, sent out
prediction that it would be clear
and then tucked an umbrella under
his arm as he started home for din
ner.
Weather man stock was not quoted
at such a high figure about the du-
Pont Building today since the
