!'I; &'aFGHt&$AIAR;, 9! t .; ;|I|lI!; ,

IN Bedford Avenue, where this busy
Brooklyn thoroughfare slopes down
from Eastern Parkway to Malbone
Street, big policeman cried last night.
He.was not a new, emotional policeman.
The four black stripes on his cuffs be-
spoke twenty years of service. But
he wanted to know who wouldn't cry
if he'd seen lonely girl make love to
maple tree.
She came at about the hour when
sweethearts are mobilizing each
Wednesday night. The policeman said
she was smiling family as she breathed
the fragrance of three roses. Other
pedestrians stopped occasionally to
read the enameled name plates on the
wire guards of the maple saplings
which stud the full length of Bedford
Avenue, each a memorial to one of
Brooklyn's hero dead.
But the girl did not glance away
from her roses, save for moment as
she smoothed out the wisp of silllen
American flag she wore just over her
heart. Half way up the long hill she
paused-"as though some one had
hollered to her," the big policeman
said. She was abreast of sapling,
almost Identical to the casual eye with
its lithesome neighbors. She did not
hesitate or read the inscription to
verify her intuition.
The patch of earth looked like
newly made grave. But she ignored
this sinister aspect. Over the name
plate, which told of corporal in a
machine gun battalion of the Twenty
seventh Division, killed on September
20, she placed the flag. She reached
slim hand through the wire guard,
touched the bark and kissed her fin
gers when she withdrew them. From
the top ring of the guard rail she
took three faded roses, probably
week old. In their place she arranged
her new gift.
Bedford Avenue bore a perpetual
burden of autoists on their way to
Coney Island. The girl stood alone.
Her lips moved and she smiled hap
PLY.
"She stood there for an hour, mebbe
more" the policeman said. "Darned
if she didn't think that tree was the
fellow it was put up for. She isn't
the only one. Last week it was almost
a nightly thing to see young girl, or
mother, or sometimes fellows come
to these trees and stand under them
and act as though the naples were
alive. This post is giving me the will
lies. | know the people aren't crazy,
but this talking to a tree like it was
humon, and saying the things they do,
is keeping a lump of something in my
throat, and 1 feel if l stay here
might choke"
of roses and peonies decorating them
others with just some insignificant lit
tie flowers.
"They all feel pretty bad, L guess"
he added, "but this girl-Ill never for
get her"
And he shifted as though he had a
cold and no handkerchief-wh is
crying when done by big policeman
wearing four service stripes.
1--WE policemen standing at rigid at
Il tention in the office of Lieutenant
Manning, custodian of uniforms, at
headquarters, indicated to the mind of
rookie cop who entered the room
yesterday that some sort of inspec-
tion was in progress, so he took his
place at the end of the line.
Manning let him stand there while
and then burst into laughter. Won
dering what there was about his ap-
pearance to occasion mirth, the rookie
nudged his neighbor with his elbow.

No,U, of course,

this cheapened furniture never found its
way into Wanamaker's or any other good
stores, because, having founded the sale,
as this whole business is founded in the in
terest of the buying public, in cooperation
with reputable furniture manufacturers
to help them over the hard season, we
would not throw away our business repu-
tation, to say nothing of the moral wrong
of it, by doing anything that was playing
fast and loose with the people.

Commissioner James A. Hamilton, of
the Department of Corrections, was
complainant against Anderson. The

Lots of new things coming

That the people appreciated the service
of our August Sales is shown by the fact
that they grew larger each year-our last
sale in the war year 1913 being the largest
in point of sales in both our stores in all
our history.
NOU conditions are
changed and ,ce change
1Uith them
Whether due to the war or to the evoli.
tlon of economic conditions, it is a fact
that today the question of keeping furn-
ture factories going is not one of orders.
but of material and labor, and in stores
the question is not so much of selling fur
nlture as of getting it. In plain words, we
are face to face with a furniture shortage.
with it's necessary complement of prices
the highest in furniture history.
Frankly, we do not expect to get much
more than half Of the furniture purchases
we have made during the past six months
We are being asked every day to pay still
higher prices for such orders as we choose
to give to manufacturers of furniture. If
we could sell out our entire stock tomor-
row we could not duplicate it at anything
like it's price, if we could duplicate it at all
within three months.
