The above slogan in the hands
of an astutc business man,
changed the whole practice Of
Christmas shopping and stmu.
lated holiday business as moth
ing else could have done. This
man. with the nerve Of Bar
mum and the Judgment of a
Wauamaker. grabbed Ia @
thought from the public mind
and put it into big BLACK

backed IA popular conviction
with his coin and oirotiscd the
universal belief that it would
be better for everyone con

mas purchases we're made at
once while stocks we're fresh
and new and the choice was
wide and ample.
The result not only paid the
advertiser as it always does
but the whole country protited
beside.
This slogan has since slipped
INTO practical use in every
corner Of commercial America.
Excepting perhaps its fellow
slogan, "Sdlty F'7l', which
reduced the accident death rate
enormously, II has done more
good in the world than any
business phrase ever coined 1t

TWINENG FOR TRANSIT
DEPARTMENT HEAD
VIRTUALLY ASSURED
Mayor-elect Expected to An
nounce Selection of Taylor's
Successor Within
y Few Days
ENGINEER OF REPUTE

The appointment OF William S. Twining
as Director Of the department. of City
Transit to succeed A. Merritt Taylor, is
expected to he announced by Mayor-eleCt
Thomas X. Smith within n few days.
While the Mayor-elect has not said in
so many words that Twiniug will be his
selection he would spring a big surprise
in political circles should he name anyone
else.
Since he first started to consider the
personnel of his cabinet. the Mayor-elect
has frequently announced that Director
Taylor will not be retained, and at the
same time he has praised Mr. TwininE's
ability as an engineer. He has even gone
so far as to say that he has not Consid-
cred anyone else for the place
1t was said authoritatively today that
the announcement of the new Transit
Director will be made before Mayor Smith
takes the oath of office on Monday next,
| The Mayor-elect himself, however, last
night suggested that there Is possibil-
ity that he will not announce any more
appointments at all until after he goes
into office.
II will make no appointments for sew
cral days al least he said. "It may he
considerably longer before | do SO"
When the announcement of the new
Transit Director is made. the now AS
sistant Director and the secretary to the
Director will be announced.
The transit appointments are the most
important that the Mayor elect still has
to make. In addition he has to appoint
the three members of his Civil Service
Commission, a chief of the Bureau of
Surveys to succeed George $. Webster,
who will be Director of the Department
of Wharves, Docks and Ferries under
Mayor Smith, and successor to George
l.. Datesman, the newly appointed Direc-
tor of Public Works, chief assistant
engineer i'm the Bureau of Surveys.
William S. Twining. reported SLATED"
as the new Director of Transit, is chief
engineer with the firm of Ford. Bacon &
Davis. who have been consulted by Direc-
tor Taylor during the formulation of the
TAYLOR plans. He was chief engineer for
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
and for the Union Traction Company

waited were being built

The director is Robert Ackroyd, one of
the Sunday School members. He has had
experience in a real theatre. 1t was his
idea when they were looking for supports
for the stage to rest II on an old altar
rail and some prayer stools.
William Jerome manager of the stage,
and Herbert Jerome. musical director,
are with ACkroyd as the moving spirits.

Wilson run again on the Democratic
ticket. He is the strongest man N

many questions, however, that he will
have TO explain to the people. The in.
come and war tax all will he made

nations.
1t now looks very much like the
Progressives will come back into the
fold. In Gtah many OF them have
again joined the Republican ranks.
There is no question that the com.
hined vote OF the Republicans and
Progressives would carry the vote ot
the country in the next election. The
great hope OF the Republicans is to get
the PrOgressives back"
Speaking of the possibilities OF ma.
tional prohibition, Mr.. Lippman point
ed out that the government now is
getting nearly 800, 000,OOO a year in
taxes from beer alone
IF the government wants prohibi
tion," he added. then the people will
have to pay that hundred million OF
taxes in some other form-either
through an increase of the income tax
or some other tax Chances are that
great effort will be made during the
next four or five years to bring about
national prohibition. While / do not
favor either state or national prohi
bition, believe in strict regulation. /"
Mr. Lippman believes that the gov.
eminent should defend Hawaii as
strongly as possible, as in case of
war with any Oriental nation this
would be the first point of attack. I'm.
less Hawaii is made a strong army and
navy base, he says, the United States
will have trouble in some form.
Mr.. Lippman refers to Japan's de.
mands upon China as being simply
terrific" He believes the time has
come when Japan must spread out and
distribute her people.
