 "Tho mgenloro now directed their eGort to produce sign that would not become stale, something that attract the attention of the same people day after day ln The last four or five years their efforts have pros dnced what Is known as the talking sign, by means of which different on. nouncements could be made to follow each other This was great advance but its scope was limited Co Q few words
 Then followed tho news sign. By meous of keys inserted in Q cylinder any. announcement could be made and changed as desired but the cost of installation and subsequent operation rendered it impracticable from a com mercial standpoint
 "phe most valuable form of advoT- Using Is undoubtedly newspaper and magazine copy as by this means the public is familiarized with tho adver. tisement by finding it before the eye day after day and week after week.  Hence the effort was to obtain Q sign with tbe essentials of newspaper
 "The desire oi the advertising ex-| pert is to indelbly Impress Che name and some distinguishing feature Of the advertised product upon the mind of the consumer so that will subcon- sciously demand Inc same when bel desires sto. purchase an article of its| kind
 Thus there arose demand for al sign by means of which the trademark and other distinguishing features put. on exhibition, and at the same time. one thot would possess tho quality of perennial pewness.
 'It has remained for Alaska to pro. duce it.

 Tt is the most advanced sign pre- viously produced what the typewriter is to the old caxton printing press. This simile is the more apt that by means of this invention one may slt at typewriter and write whatever is desired on tho sign, which may bel situated on the roof Of a building a mile or ten miles away
 Thus the sign is rendered a continu' ous attraction by the display of the latest snews bulletins; thereby calling attention to the advertising sections In which Illustrated advertisements follow each other automatically"

Her upper works were smashed off out of all recognition, and virtually ey- ory gun was put out of action. shells had been poured into her from all four quarters, spreading devastation and death among her crew.

 According to other accounts from members Of the crew the British fleet first sighted Che Germans about thir- ty miles of the British coast. The light was good and the sea fairly smooth. The Germans could be as- certained miles away, and when the Lion fired the first shot from Star board, tho fleets wore about fifteen miles apart
 The British gradually oyerhouled the Germans despite the fact that they were dropping mines as they were steaming away.

times. 1t was very friendly little
note thanking him for some lovely
roses and asking him to come to tea
that afternoon. That was all, but it

would it have satisfied any other
young man who had indited seven
pages breathing undying love and de-

word OF encouragement in return.
Amy had not vouchsafed even one
word. Her customary: Dear Mr.. Jel-

open the letter The conventional tone
of the rest of the missive chilled him
thoroughly and after he had read it
for the third time he folded it carefully
and placed it in his bill case where
he cherished the first note he had ever
received from her, together with a
! rosebud she had given to him.
