LAND OF MANY CEREMONIES
PoIiteness, One Might Think, Is Some
what Carried to Extremes by
Dionitaries in Portugal.

That Portuguese pOliteness Is mOst
ceremonial and may proceed to an ex
traOrdinary extent Is indicated In the
case, say, Of visit to a high digni.
tary.
The caller ascends q magnificent
staircase. passes through a long suite
of rooms to the apartment In which the
dignitary is seated. he is received
with many bows and smiles.
When the visit Is concluded the
caller bows and prepares to depart.
When he reaches the door he must,
according to the invariable custom Of
the country, make another salutation.
He then discovers that his host is
following him and that the inclination
is returned by one equally profound.
When the caller arrives at the door
of the second apartment the dlgnitary
is standing on the threshold of the
first, and the same ceremony Is again
passed between them. When the third
apartment is gained the caller OBJ
serves that his host is occupying the
place the caller has Just left in the
second. The same civilitles are then
renewed, and these polite reciprocal
lions are continued until the caller
has traversed the whole suite Of apart
ments.
At the balustrade the caller makes a
low and, as he supposes, final salu.
tation. But no; when he has reached
the first landing place the host is at
the top of the stairs; when the caller
stands on the second landing place his
host has descended to the first, and
upon each of these occasions their
heads wag with increasing humility,
Finally the journey to the foot Of the
stairs is accomplished.-Los Angeles

ESTABLISH ALIBI IN
POLICEMAN SLAY|NG
Auto Theft Suspects Held at
Abington-Tried to Sell
Car Believed Stolen

Two alleged motorcar thieves are be
ing held at the Abingdon police station
today after an unsuccessful attempt to
link them with the murder of Trenton
otorcycle patrolman on the Bensalem
pike Tuesday night.
The suspects who said they were
Albert Van Busch and George Derby,
of Wilkes Barre, were caught yesterday
in Arlington after chase. They had
tried to sell an automobile believed to
have been stolen.
The men were questioned in connec- :
tion with the shooting of the Trenton
ratrolman, but established an alibi. The
Wilkes Barre authorities were notifie,l
and the suspects will be brought to that
city late today.
Late in the afternoon the two men
appeared at the Mason garage, Hat
boro, and offered virtually new seven
passenger car for sale. Policeman Win
ner, attracted by the apparent nervous
ness of the men, had walked to the side
of the car and there noticed the motor
number on the license tag did not con
form tc the number of the motor. He
passed this information to Stephen
Mason, owner of the garage, and when
the men offered the car for sale Mason
replied:
~ know where you can get $1,000
for the machine. can't use it myself
but I'll take you to the buyers
The men assented and Mason drove
them to the Arlington police station
When he motioned to Policeman Messer
who was standing outside the station
house, the men jumped out of the car
running in different directions.
One ran down Highland avenue. to
the rear of the Abingdon Memorial Hos
pital, while the other ran north on Old

body, which has the financing of the
convention well under way, told re-
porters last night that this city has
never had such a chance to get buyers
from all over the continent into sympa-
thetic touch with what our mills have
to offer. "They represent purchasing
power of many billions" he said, "and
In years to come the open sesame for n
salesman with them will be'a reminder
of the city that entertained them in this,
the first great reconstruction year.
"Our inviting the convention to come

was a mighty fortunate thing"
Mr.. Geehr is purchasing agent fol-
Cramps, and himself buys goods
amounting to several millions of dol
lars every year.

for the H. X. Mulford Company, out,
lined the general program of publicity
which is planned. and showed how it il
expected to tie this up with definite
final interest which will bring thes,

legitimate instruments. The convention
closes tonight with banquet attended
by the 200 delegates, who represent al
most every state in the Union.
1.-The mandolin orchestras. many Of
which include more than 100 artists,
produce a shimmering, bell-like tone
which you heard in the balalaika or
chestras. The mandolin orchestra ia
now fast becoming recognized as a legit-
innate musical factor. / believe that the
time is not far distant when large
mandolin orchestra will tour the coun-
try and prove to the public the wonder
full possibilities of our instruments. And
the pleCtoral instruments will becJm as
standardized as any instruments OF the
conventional orchestra.
''1n true mandolin orchestra there
are no plunking banjos, any more than
there are the jazz drums and cymbals
in real conventional orchestra. In
our orchestras we have mandolins which
correspond to the first and second vio-
Inns. Then there is the mandola, which
corresponds to thc viola. The mando-
cello takes the place Of the violoncello
and the big bass mandolin which stands
as high as a man furnishes a similar
tone quality as the big bass viol. The
guitar and banjo play the obligatos.
''Please believe that the plunk, plunk
of the guitar and the tingaling of the
mandolin that you associate with giddy
girls and college boys and moonlight
nights has no place in our musical
work. We can play, and play always,
the very best there is in the musical
world-and our rush of melody Joy is
just as inspiring to the educated taste
as the music Of a symphony orchestra.
