whom this sudden death from acute dia-
betes comes as an appalling shock.
Early in April she took position as an
assistant in one of the fraternity houses,
in the young ladies department at the U.

ness, on May 18th, she wrote her mother
of not feeling well, and the Wednesday

that purpose Thursday night. Alas! Meth

ing she quietly sank into the last sleep.
She is survived by her par ents, brothers,
Raymond, Clement, George and Harold,

FEAST OF WEEKS TO
START next SUNDAY

Shabuoth, or the Feast of Weeks,
also called the Feast of the First
Fruits, will be observed by Jews next
Sunday and Monday.
Shabuoth falls this year on Sun
day, May q. Its name is derived
from the fact that the Mosaic legis-
lation does not prescribe the date of
this festival as being definitely on
such and such a day, or such and
such a month, which is the case with
the other festivals, but instead SIM
ply states that seven full weeks are
to be counted from the time the
Omer "a measure of grain as an Of
fering) is brought. Hence, the
name 1.-THE Festival of Weeks" and
also the name "Pentecost," meaning
''fiftieth," since the festival is seven
weeks or the fiftieth day after the
second day Of Passover, SO fixed by
the Rabbinic tradition.

Austin. In the days following that
midnight expedition she had had ample
time in which to mediate upon her
husbands actions 1t seemed probable
that he had fed to San Antonio, there
to remain until interest in the Guzman
matter had abated.
Alaire telephOned Dave Law, argu-

even sooner than she had expected
She made him dine with her and they

satiOn Alaire discovered that Dave. too,

he possessed an Imagination. and with
it a quaint, whimsical, exploratory turn
OF mind which enabled him TO talk
interestedly of many things and many
places. On this particular evening he
was anything but the man of iron she
had knOwn-until she ventured TO
speak of Ed. Then he closed up like
a trap. He was almost gruff in his

ADVERTISING IS AN OLD ART
Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans
Knew Something About the
Value of Publicity.

Advertising was we'll known in the
palmy days of Egypt. OF course, they
didn't have the electric signs blazing
across the sky, they didn't know that
red makes the best color for advertis-
ing. green the second and black the
next, but they did understand the first
principles and applied them in daily
life, says the Detroit Free Press.
Perhaps the first bit OF advertising
copy was the lost, strayed or stolen"
advertisement written by an Egyptian
on a slip of papyrus when his favorite
slave was missing.
The Greeks had even greater skill.
They advertised their concerts, musical
affairs, plays and contests. They gave
US the idea of using bands to attract
a crowd, for they sent around their
cities a town crier, accompanied by
musician playing harp or Tyre. He
praised extravagantly in the best of
Greek the thing he was advertising.
Later the people began to advertise
privately, on the walls Of their homes,
giving Information about the standing
Of the family occupying the house and
the state of their finances.
The Romans went them one better
They named their streets, advertised
shows, sales and exhibitions in their
public baths, notified the public OF sales
OF estates, posted lists OF articles lost
and found and houses for sale or rent.
When the Huns swept down upon
Rome the advertisements disappeared
