A TaiIorMade Man Looks Better
Mr.. w. J. Jones, manager of the
Palace Tailoring Company, 419 East

man should have at least one tailored
: to-measure suit if he wants to look
and feel like a well dressed man.
Jones is selling tailor-made suits, fit
material and workmanship guaran-
teed, priced as low as $3.50. He has
a bunch of satisfied customers who
are singing praises to him and new
. oI Il,
daily. Jones is a great believer IN
Printers Ink and uses lots of space
in the newspapers to tell about his
tailoring business and the unbeliev
able low prices at which he can make
guaranteed suits. Last week he sold
1925 worth of tailored-to-measure
clothes in single day. At the rate
he is going, every well-dressed man
in Phoenix will soon be wearing 4
tailor-made suit purchased of the Pal
ace Tailoring Company. 1t costs moth
ing to look over his fine line of samp.
les and may be the means of a big
saving to your pocket book. Better

Men Predon,inated

In all other places, North and East,
among the Negro population there is
a surplus of women. In Cincinnati
the men represent IS per cent Of the
Negro population out OF 54 per cent
of the total population of the City.
"The reason for the large predomi-
nance of our male Negro population
is that their progenitors came to Gin
cinnati in large numbers on steam
boats from the South. Besides, Cincin-
natl was a station of the so-called
underground railroad,' along which
slaves were spirited into Canada be
fore the Civil War Then, again, of re
cent years large numbers of Negroes
came from the south in search Of
higher wages, but they did not stay
long enough because other cities Of
fered larger than they could obtain
here.
"In our survey we found that south
of Seventh street the houses of the
Negroes were dilapidated, unsanitary
and overcrowded In Walnut Hills we
found better conditions, and model
tenements afforded by Cincinnati cap
italists.

and resource-his ability to conceive
in gigantic terms and to perform i'm
of execution. And the
idea has back Of it a simplicity Of
practical common sense that has par
ticularly appealed to some of the
more radical French circles.
This university, however, is only .
part Of the gigantic education scheme
which has been devised and is now in
operation for the American soldier in
France. 1t is the apex Of a great and
unique system beginning at the front
lines and continuing to the base ports
And the negative value Of this education
is almost as great as its positive one
The soldier is not only saved from
boredom. from Inconsistencies. from
mischief of all kinds, resulting from
unlimited unoccupied time ON his
hands, but this time is utilized, made
useful and precious: his years Of SOL
diering" are made q gain instead of a
loss, in relation to subsequent civil
life.
The system devised is as ALIEN

no
hundred thousand men were found in
the A. e. F. who could not read or
write. who made their mark" ON their
pay checks--and progresses to grad

are provided with opportunities for
post graduate work which, under or
binary circumstances, they could never
have hoped for. Thus for all these men,
the impossible will have happened
in spite Of everything, some good will
have come out Of the great war.
At the bottom Of the system are the
post schools. At all posts. canton
ments, hospitals or rest camps, or in
any area which has a constant popu-
latiOn of 500 or more soldiers, a post
school is established. Teachers, usu-
ally soldier-teachers. are selected by
the Army educational commission.
Everything is provided by the Army
buildings. heating. lighting. equip
ment, text books, etc. The instruc-
ton, which. very roughly. approxi-
mates the American primary school,
comprises courses In common school
subjects, modern languages, United

The only war material used in the

and congressman is the barbed- wire
that the Huns left behind. No one, it
seems. desires any Of it for a pocket
piece or as decoration for the par
lor stand. Unless the souvenir de-
mand for it picks up it may be put to
some coarse purpose, such as keeping
old Bossy in the lot, or the pigs out
Of the clover.
Requests from individuals. towns,
cities, counties and states for captur-
ed German cannon have come so nu-
merously to some departments that it
has been necessary to answer them
with form letter. Literally thou
sands of bills to award cannon have
been introduced in Congress. And
most Of these cannon seekers will be
disappointed. There are now in this
country possibly a hundred or more
captured cannon. OF this number the
War Department first will take such
guns as may have historical value or
it may want for testing purposes.
Then the liberty loan committees Of
the country will receive a grand total
of fifty, which already have been as
signed. What 81 left will be battled
for in Congress-. Hence the watch
word now is: Apply early and get in
the rush.
Control Of all trophies will rest with
the War Department. The Treasury
Department was fortunate enough to
Obtain $4,000 helmets for liberty loan
workers, but that SUPPLY was quickly
exhausted. Its war savings division,
through r. w. Madison. also has OBJ
tanned 100000 hand grenades and
converted them into savings banks.
They will be given away. Congress
can fight for everything else.
