WINDOW Contest
$500 IN PRIZES

Phillips and Wescott, 512 Main
street, have entered the International
Window Display contest which the
Edison Diamond Disc Jobbers' asso-
citation of the United States and Can
ada will conduct during Edison week,
October 1923. All next week ca h
window entered in the contest will
contain a display of the Edison Diam
ond Dtsc-Thomas A. Edison's new
invention for the recreation of sound.
The conditions of the contest have
been ingeniously framed to bring about
a good contest The following is
quoted from the conditions circulated
by the jobbers' association:
''The jury's decision Will not be in
f1uenced by the number of instruments
displayed but by the attractiveness
and impressiveness Of the display, and
in particular by the graphicness with
which are presented the superior and
distinctive musical qualities of the
Edison Diamond Disc Photograph and
it's special features, such as the per-
manent diamond reproducing point.
the non-wearing and unbreakable rec
ords, etc. The fact that the Edison
Diamond Disc Photograph and rec
ord give a laboratory recreation Of
music. as opposed to a mere mechan-
zeal reproduction, and that the Edi-
son Diamond Disc Photograph has no
tone Of its own (proven by tone com
parsons with the living artists), are
features that should be emphasized
The jury will pay no attention to th2
shape or size of dealers window. In
other words, the dealer with a small
window will have just as good a
chance as the dealer with big win
dow The awards will be based on
the originality Of the idea and the eff
fectiveness with which it is carried
out in the arrangement of the display.
Phillips and Westcott's window will
be ready by 10 o'clock next Monday
morning. 1t is entered for the prizes
offered for Edison dealers in this
state and also for the championship
prize that is to be awarded for the

Chicago Herald: The decisive
defeat of Eugene Z. Schmitz.
candidate for mayor Of San Fran
cisco. helps to show that it is
getting harder and harder for the dis
credited official to come back to
public office and public confidence.
Schmitz was deposed from the nav

third term as a result of the graft ex-
posures which shook the city,
shocked the country and sent Abe
Ruef to the penitentiary. Since then
he has cherished the not unnatural
ambition to "come back
In other days there might have
been nothing surprising or futile in
his candidacy. Political standards
were not so high as they are today A
man could be discredited as a public
official and still, by dint Of holding
on to some sort Of an organization,
cherish the far from groundless hope
of riding back into office.
Those days are past. Political or

CHARGE IOWA FLAG
LAW IS VIOLATED
Adjutant General Logan and Attor-
ney General Cosson Bar Quilt
Made by Convict at Fort
Madison.
Is A DESIGN OF THE FLAG
This Makes It Improper to Exhibit
Piece Of Work, According to the
Ruling by State
Officers.

The Iowa flag law, which is the
work Of the local Daughters OF the
American Revolution, has been VIC
lated by convict at Fort Madison,
who wove the flag design into quilt.
The decision of the state officials may
hold a little ray Of hope for the state
D. A R. who have been trying to
have the flag design in the floor OF
the capital called dissertation of the
flag.
The Fort Madison Democrat con-
tains the following of interest regard
ing the decision in the matter OF the
guilt:
Adjutant General Guy z. Logan
and Attorney General George Cosson
have decreed that a quilt made by
Steuer, an inmate of the penitentiary
in the center Of which is woven
flag, is in violation of law recently
enacted against the dissertation of the
flag And the quilt is to be sent back
to him. His case is the first to come
under the flag dissertation law.
The work, so the women folks about
the capital have said, is wonderfully
done-better than any Of them could
do, they admitted-and they have CIV
en- unstinted praise to the design. The
quilt was first exhibited at the fair
then it was taken to the state house
and placed on exhibition in the CORR
dor on the basement floor Members
Of the board of control thought that
by putting it in public place oppor-
tunity for sale would be afforded. The
price put upon it was twenty-five dol
lars. Adjutant General Logan hap
pened to see the flag and he objected
to it's presence in the state house as
being a dissertation Of the new flag
desecration law The law prohibits
attaching anything to the flag. The
adjutant general called the attention
Of the attorney general to the matter.
and Mr.. Cosson after looking up the
law, decided that it should not be put
on exhibition. The quilt was ordered
taken down and returned to the in
mate at Fort Madison.
