A Letter tOMen

Philadelphia, March 26, 1913.
Dear M. Clothes Buyer:
Spring ia here, and it's time to
turn your mind, time and atten-
tion to your clothing require
ments
The normal production Of
mems clothing is FIVE hundred
and fifty millions, but by reason
of the war great many mills
(65@c, il is reported) arc com
mandeered by the Government,
which would leave 35To only for
civilian production.
Naturally under existing con
ditions there will be scarcity.
particularly of desirable cloth
ing. and plenty Of "hotsam and
jetsam" will be floating around
TO catch the unwary. You had
better give more thought to the
store where you buy your
Spring clothes than has ever
been your custom.
Apples are apples, and cloth
ing is clothing" but there il a
difference in apples and likewise
in clothing-some apples go
through cultivation and care
that produce the Baldwin and
other well-known varieties, and
are delicious To the taste, while
others are left TO their own care.
and the production il scraggy
and knotty and unpalatable.
It is the same with the produc-
tion of clothing--the raw prod
uct is wool lin the Wanamaker
Clothing Store), but there are as
many grades of wools as of ap-
Piles, and there is a cultivation Of
the product of clothing, which
means the skill in its tailoring
and fashioning that gives it its
standard.
Now the question for you to
decide is-do you want your
money to buy you the superlative
type of clothing sold by the
Wanamaker Clothing Store, and
guaranteed to be full value for
every dollar expended. or are
you going TO pay too much for
your whistle and regret your
purchase soon after it is put to
the acid test of wear?
In this year of 1918, as in all
other years since we have been
in business, our stocks are of all
wool, holding TO their usual high
standard of materials.
Our Spring stocks will be am
pie to meet the demand, and we
will not be obliged to go into a
late market to replenish, and SO
we are able TO vouch for the de-
sirableness, the dependability,
and the fairness of prices to all
of the clothes-buying public.
Fashion in mems clothing was
never finer than at this moment,
and the new suits and overcoats
we are ready TO show you today
will find it at its best. They are
beautiful in their fashion-mih-
tary, but not regimental-sol-
dierly and gentlemanly.
These are clothes of the kind
that stand for the very best in
A merican manufacture and
American models. $50 to SAT for
suits. $40 to $40 for overcoats.

Our Weekly Fable In Slang
BY BARTON RICHARDS

that was just before supper on Satur-
day. The lilies of the field never had
a thing on him when it came to SPLEEN
dor for he had it, that's all. The fairer
sex Of the village adjacent to the camp
used to wonder if he was the Com
handing Officer or just the Chief Of
Staff for the way he dolled up was q
crime. If efficiency had been meas
ured by appearance on Saturday night
the kid would have been chasing 100
per cent.
Now we could 60 on and on like the
well-known little brook but We're not
going to. It's enough to say that his
shoulders are not yet bowed down
from the weight of any metal on them
and the tailor is still waiting to sew
any stripes on his sleeves. In other
words he is still buck private in the
rear rank and~that's just where he is
going to be for some time unless he
gets hep to himself. AS for the moral
of this tale Pick it out yourself, if
you're that interested.

Buffalo Bill Was
Natural Gun Pointer

In order to become proficient in
craftsmanship it is necessary to prac-
tice some more, and take advantage Of
everything that might help one to bet
ter shooting. SoH8e men are natural
born shots, while others strive for
years and then only become mediocre.
The late Buffalo Bill was a great
marksman, because he was quick on
the trigger. He was what we might
term a Natural Gun Pointer" that
is, one who points a gun as accurate
ly and instinctively as the finger.
1t takes practice and years of it to
become expert as natural gun point
er but, like everything else, once you
raster the trick YOU will wonder why
you ever thought il hard at all
Although she has not appeared be-
fore the public seeking honors for
several years it is difficult to forget
| the wonderful stunts of Annie Oakley,
the idol of the small boy and the older
folks alike.
In our minds eye we can still see her
dash into the arena aStride her favor

liexable feats OF craftsmanship under

apparent ease and utter absence of
| excitement.
| And so it was with Johnny Baker
and many more who thrilled us in
| days gone by.
! The elements which enter into the
makingo an expert marksman are not
many, but they are important. For in
stance, good eyesight is Indispensable,
for unless the eye sees accurately and
clearly all other talent is of no conse-
quenCe whatever.
| Contrary to the general belief, a
,nrvoues tmperament is handicap
rather than a help. 1t is true that
the mind, the eye, and the nerves CO.
ordinate, but they must do it intlli-
gently and deliberately yet instantly
Every movement must be smooth and
as sure in action as a well-oiled piece
Of machinery.

THE KID HAS GONE
TO THE COLORS

The kid has gone to the colcrs
And we don't know what to say;
The kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We thought hiz1l 4 c}1i}a; baby
With never a care at all,
But Lis country called him man-size
And the kid has heard the call"
He paused to watch the recruiting.
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to old glory,
And thought that it whispered. Come
And the kid not being a Stacker
Stood forth with patriot JOY
To add his name to the roster
And, God, we're proud of the boy
His dad, when he told him, shuddered
His mother-God bless her? cried:
Yet, blessed with a mothers nature
She wept with a mothers pride
But he whose shoulders Strengthened
Was Grandad-for memory ran
To years when he, too, youngster,
Was changed by the flag to man.

Certain California interests have

that railway service to the Pacific
coast has not been interfered with by
the government and intimating
strongly that the conditions growing
