New Spring Suits
Made Right and Look Right

These Suits, men, toe the line
in every respect with the best
that is being offered to the mas
culine public in the market to-
day at their price. The equals
of them we might tell you are
being sold in the highest class
shops in New York City at the
present time for fully a third
more than the prices we are
asking for them.
Only the finest looking and
longest wearing, pre-shrunk,
materials find a place in their
foundation; and only the finest
class of needlework is used to
mould these fabrics into hand
somely and harmonious lines.
Candidly, no man could desire
better suits for spring or sum-
mer wear.

Those who have gone before, no mat

lived and vanished as creatures of
the hour. so we should not lament at
the seeming untimeliness of their
taking off. 1t is indiscreet to assume
that the death of the young is a pc
culiar calamity and hardship. How
can we tell what they have escaped,
or decide that they are not singular
ly fortunate? Who finds life such an
unmixed blessing as to grieve long
over the transition of those who are
yet innocent and happy to serener
spheres? 1t is vain and unavailing to
grieve over what has happened and
cannot be altered. 1t does no good
to the dead and Injuries the living. It
is also mutiny against the Presiding
Judge Of all. To honor the dead
Alright is to cherish fondly the mem.
DRY of good dispositions and deeds,
and make that memory guide for
our own spiritual attachments. This
Is better than marble slabs, glowing
memorials or devouring pangs of
fruitless woe. The ancient world
never clothed death with the terrors
which came in with the church and
the middle ages. Who grieves for
ever has no faith in a reunion. Such
tears silently proclaim the fear Of
humiliation, the despair that forgets
God.

AIR SERVICE
LINES SOON Be
ESTABLISHED

London April Just as soon as
aircraft regulations have been defi-
nitely arranged by the peace confer
ence. an airplane passenger and
freight service will be inaugurated be-
tween the principal cities of England
and the continent. it is announced. II
will be an experiment only insofar as
the whims OF the public are concerned.
as the fifteen machines to be used
all saw more trying service in night
bombing work during the latter
months of the war.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
the promoters that the project will be
popular at first among those who en-
joy adventure and are not hampered
by lack of funds but, in making the
announcement of the new service. F.
Handley Page said that his company
wanted to put the service purely on
business basis and that charges
would not be out Of reach Of the aver
age merchant who might want goods
transported quickly or make quick
trips to Europe.
Announcement Of the plans was
made simultaneously with the first
public exhibition Of a passenger-ca car
rying airplane in London. The plane
is one OF the night bombers with the
fuselage equipped % accommodate II
passengers. 1t Jaw service over Ger
man cities but appeared much differ
emit on exhibition. Hugh glass win
dows had been cut into the sides OF the
fuselage showing the saloon fitted
with heavily upholstered leather
chairs lined on each side OF the car
rage with a narrow isle between.
Space is provided for sixteen passen-
gers inside. The 18th one sits outside
In the very bow" OF the machine in
the seat formerly occupier by gun
ner.
The machine has q lifting capacity
of six and one-half tons exclusive OF
its own weight. 1t fitted with four mo-
tors, two tractors and two pushers and
travels at an average speed OF 100
miles an hour.
The company which will operate the
service already has laid its plans for
getting business and for feeder SER
vices tapping it's main lines of travel.
E. J. Bray, formerly European traffic
representative Of the National railway
of Mexico. has become traffic manager
of the Handley Page, Ltd, and is at
work on purely the traffic end OF the
enterprise.
Those interested in the project point
out that as far as the machines are
concerned this il not an experiment
and maintain that 1t Is the most am
bilious plan vet conceived for COM
mercial use OF the airplane. No es-
pecial effort will be made to get great
speed but every effort will be made, as
the service increases to construct
larger machines which Will give pas
sengers greater ease and freedom and
will be capable OF carrying several
several tons of freight.
