A Little Home-Made
Philosophiiziing.

Since business has been
rather dull for the past few
weeks strange things have
been revolving in our minds,
and this is the big question
that has been uppermost in
our thoughts: "Where do
you, dear reader, spend
your money!"
Is it with the firm that
you would go to should you
need financial aid; the firm
that you would go to to help
build your neighborhood
church; the firm that pays
taxes and licenses in your
parish, thereby helping to
swell the revenues Of the
parish devoted to good roads,
new school houses and the
education Of your children?
We are not selfish enough
to think that we are the only
firm that pays its full share
of the parish revenues, but
we believe that we pay our
share and do our part in the
upbuilding Of the country,
and we ask those who never
thought of the question:
"Where Do You Spend
Your Money!" to take these
thoughts into consideration,
and we believe that you will
do more trading with your
local firms.

was summoned and Harley was dragged
from under the building
He was barely able to tell that he
had crawled under the building TO take
a little nap last September before he
swooned. When he first awoke, he said. 4.
he thought he had slept but short
time, but his weakness alarmed him
and. hearing the man aIter the ball.
he groaned.
Officials at the naval base had listed
Harley as a deserter. A reward had
been posted for bis arrest. The officers
are inclined to doubt his story of his
long nap and are Investigating.
Various reports of the matter are be
ing circulated at the base.
One is that Harley crawied under the
building when he feared punishment
after overstaying his leave. The hold
ers of this opinion advance the theory
that during the first part of his stay he
was furnished with water and food by
a comrade, or foraged for it at night.
Another theory is that Harley, who
is n veteran of the American army in
France, was shellshocked there and his
unnatural sleep was n result of the
shock.
Naval surgeons from all along the
eastern coast are gathering at Hamp
ton Roads to study the case. Their
reports will have great deal to dc
with the decision of the investigating
commission.
Harley already is much better than
when discovered. He drank seven
quarts of milk within twelve hours after
being found. lie is much strengthened

the surgeons reported today, but it will
be more than week before they can
make an absolute prediction, and it will
be several weeks before his recovery is
complete IL he does recover.
The patient is rational and sticks
to the story he told before losing con
sciousness after being discovered and
rescued. He had no intention of de-
serting, he says, and apparently was
very much surprised that he had been
listed as q deserter.

there for about two months prior tC
April Of this year. Pfandcr said.
Before joining the navy, Pfander said
Harley had been drafted and had served
in France with n National Army divi
sion. He saw service in several OF
the big engagements, but Pfandei
noticed no signs of shellshock. he said

This is probably Jazz" age, wher'
everything goes.
Because we are living in time wher

yesterday morning.
'It may be true that we are living

told his hearers.
Jazz epitomizes the spirit of the
age Jazz is the most popular dance
and jazz is the most popular music
With jazz in the atmosphere, and
even the moral structure jazzing. Doc
tor Blair said, the question confronting
the church was whether it should
''quit or go on The clergyman did
not take a pessmistic view of the sit
uation; on the contrary. he said the
church has its greatest task before it.
God can use even a jazz age to lead
the world on to greater righteousness,

xVrITHIN the past few years
w there has come a real and
W growing appreciation of the
beauty of wrought iron. There is a
delicacy and charm about it that
accords we'll with our modern idea of
decoration, which elects to choose the
best from each period and merge all
into harmonious whole. A pair of
wrought iron andirons, which / dis
covered at the store of j. Franklin
Miller, 1912 Chestnut Street, |
thought particularly attractive, and
there is a set of tongs, shovel and
poker, with handles gracefully point
ed to match the andirons. Many of
the sets at Miller's are reproductions
of Colonial pieces. A set of polished
brass in Adam design was very in
teresting, too. with its posts topped
with the characteristic Adam urn.
: WY HEN you are looking for a
Wv musical instrument you are,
of course, more inclined to
take the word of musician as to its
quality, than the opinion of the lay
man. And when you are looking for
a photograph, you would naturally
prefer to buy one that has the ap-
proval of musicians. The New Edi-
son is invariably the choice of musi-
clans, because it brings the finest
music, faultlessly rendered, within
the reach of all music lovers. 1t
does not only reproduce, but actually
re-creates sound. Hear the New
Edison at the Steinway Warerooms,

Then decide. The inventors own
invitation is "Let the public hear
and decide" To hear it is to be
convinced of its superiority.
