APPOINTED 19 YEARS AGO

Altoona. Pa. Oct 22.--The Right
Rev. r. A. Garvey, bishop of the AL
toona diocese Of the Catholic church,
died here this morning.
In 1917 the bishop suffered col
lapse from which he never fully recov-
cred. He was stricken Tuesday morn
ing and shortly afterwards lapsed into
q state of coma. from which he never
rallied
Bishop Garvey was born October G,
1s45, at Carbondale, Pa, studied for
the priesthood at st. Charles College,
Ellicott City, Md, and was ordained
in st. Peters Cathedral, Scranton,

tion, Willinmsport. December I, 1871,
and was stationed there for twenty
eight years. In 1899 be became rector
of st. Johns. Pittston. and vicar gen
eral of the Scranton diocese. In July,
1901, he was appointed bishop Of the
newly created Altoona diocese, and was

THESE days are just right for

- improved by the knowledge that
one looks we'll dressed. Now, this
year, golf hose are quite important
TO the success Of ones golf costume,
so know you will be glad to hear
that you can get them, In just the
attractive heather shades you've
been looking for, at Macdonald g.
Campbell's, 13S4-36 Chestnut Street.
These heather shades of green,
brown and tan look particularly
we'll with the tweed and the Scotch
plaid skirts that are much favored
FOR golf wear. Many women are
wearing these good-looking woolen
hose with their tailored sports suits,
and it Is a good thing TO remember
that you can buy them at Macdonald
& Campbelps, at prices ranging
from S3.75 to $5.
IF YOU were designing a two
quart saucepan what features
would you insist upon? First of
all, it would be made Of aluminium,
the material which heats most
quickly and stays hot longest. Sec
ond, it must have rounded, "easy to
clean" corners. Third. 1t must have
a handle that Is easy TO grasp--that
fits the hand. Fourth, it must have
It's handle firmly riveted to the pan.
Fifth, II must hold exactly two
quarts. Now that is just exactly
how the Aladdin Aluminium two
quart saucepan Is made, and every
Aladdin utensil Is designed just as q
woman would design 1t for her own
use. That Is why so many women
prefer Aladdin utensils TO any
others. Aladdin Aluminium cooking
utensils are sold by J. Franklin

TT SEEMS almost unbelievable
that you can have custom
tailored suit as reasonably priced
as those made by Chas. Adams Co.,
1917 Chestnut Street. Many men
who had decided that they could no
longer afford to have their clothes
custom-tailored have found Adams
prices quite within their reach.
There is a certain satisfaction in
knowing that your suit or overcoat
has been made to your individual
measurement, that the coat is not
too long, that the shoulders are Just
Neutrality-suspicious. trifes II you will,
but they make all the difference in
the world when it comes to clothes.
You have also the privilege of maxi

Of cloths In blue, green and brown
colors most favored for the coming
season.
\ RARELY beautiful gem is the
~ Polished Girdle Diamond--per-
feet as to coloring. exquisite
as to cutting and polishing. For
the most important and most treas
ured Of all rings-the engagement
ring--what gem could be more ap-
propriate? 1t Is exclusive, you
know, with the house Of Bailey,
Banks and Biddle Company, and the
artists who design the settings--ex-
quisite filigree settings Of platinum
or gold-have wrought marvelously
well, for they but enhance the beauty
Of the stone itself. The bride-to-be
who possesses one of these gems is
fortunate, indeed, not only because
the most beautiful Of gems Is SYM
bolic OF the most beautiful of senti-
ments, but as we'll because she has
a stone of real worth-the value Of
which increases with the years.
VKTHAT lover of the outdoors
wv doesn't heave q sigh Of relief
W when she discovers a sports
coat that is roomy and comfortable
and will stand any kind Of rough
treatment? That Is Just the kind Of
coat that I saw today at The Blum
Store, 1910 Chestnut Street. For
the almost incredibly reasonable
sum Of $29.50 you may have q plaid
sports coat, which can be worn
either belted or with loose back,
For $3.50 there are polo coats Of
the same model In brown, chow, or
tan, lined with radium and inter-
lined. At the some price, too, there
are strictly tailored models, with
notched collar and raglan shoulder,
Polo cloth coats with raccoon collar
are $69.50. Leather coats, In such
attractive colors as blue, brown and
red, are 5000 to $79.50.
r EFT me tell you several things
that I've discovered about

non-resonant material, instead Of
metal, Is used In the manufacture
Of the reproducing mechanism a
much better tone results-a soft,
mellow tone, with not the least harsh
ness in IL. Such tone you will find
in the Perfektone Phonograph, with
its cushioned reproducer. This
phonograph possesses another ad-
vantage in its non-echoing case, The
case Of reed or rattan which, by the
way, Is most attractive, allows of
the escape Of sound In q natural way
there are no after-sounds or re-
verberations. Stop in some day at
