1t had been my hope and expecta-

Every, Day
One Must Read
To Keep Apace
With The Times.

| With The Times.
The daily prints are the
most forceful factor in ma
tional life.
They form public opinion.
They are responsible, in a
large measure, for the edu-
cation and the moral tone
OF the nation.
How are you getting your
Instruction. Are you re-
ceiving it from unbiased,
honest, dependable sourcesf
Are your children being
brought up to READ and
to UNDERESTIMATE Can
they ABSORB the reading
which you place before
them Do they find it IN
TERESTINGf x
The reading done by the
child between the ages of
ten and sixteen does much
to establish his or her hab-
its of later life. His char
acter is forming, like his
muscles and his bones.
Let us stop for a moment
and consider a newspaper
like The Washington Times.
1t is a good example of
American newspaper. 1t is
excelled by some others in
some departments. It ex-
GELS others in many depart
ments. AS a whole, it is a
good, healthy, clean, honest
journal, considerably above
the general average.
It's news is fresh, reliable
and unbiased. 1t is inter-
esting, as far as interest
can be sustained without
altering facts. 1t is instruc-
tive, in a quiet unobtrusive
sort of way.
Its editorials on current
problems are vigorous and
without equivocation. The
reader may not agree with
some of them, but they are
honest statements, sincere
opinions, and form food for
thought even among their
opponents.
Its features are helpful.
The woman's page is de- Z
signed to assist women to
help each other-not peda-
gogically instructive, but
tending to foster a spirit of
mutual assistance and in
terest.
The comic page and the
daily cartoons are designed
to give wholesome amuse-
ment. without offense, with
out risque or a trace of the
suggestive. ..
The Today column, which
appears nearly every day
in this space, written by
Arthur Brisbane, Americas
foremost journalist, is an
education in itself. A father
could do no better than to
encourage his son to read
this feature every day, to
heed Mr.. Brisbane's advice
as to collateral reading, and
to study his remarkable
style and diction.

The Times, like other
great newspapers, suffers
from the shortage of print
paper. With a limited sup
ply of newsprint, it may at
any time be forced to cur
tail either the size of the
paper or the number of
copies offered for sale. The
Times has decided to serve
we'll those whom it serves,
and to issue a complete
paper, even though it must
limit the number of persons
who receive it.
1t must not have unsold
copies in the hands of its
agents. Thus it is that it
is ofttimes difficult or i'm
possible, late in the day, to
buy The Times on the
street or at the news
dealers.
There is only one way to
be sure to get The Times
order it delivered daily to
the home. The price Of
sixty cents a month is less
than the purchase price on
the street--two cents for
the weekday paper and five
cents for the Sunday Times.
Order II sent to the home,
and you will get it every
day.

Opening of Race Course Brings Out Generous Showing of
 Lovely Clothes.
RICH DISPLAY OF NEW HATS
Ceiiophane or Vanished Braids Score Big Success; VeiI-Trimmed Models Attractive; Turbans in CrinkIed
 Braid Are In Evidence.

The opening of the race course at Nlce and the presence of many prom lnent visitors, among whom the Amer
 Ican contingent did not lack full repre- sentation. mean a brilliant social sea son, which in turn signifies an as- semblage of lovely clothes, writes
 prominent fashion correspondent.
 No more beautiful background for clothes is to be found in the world than Nice, situated as 1t is on the border of the Mediterranean; just where the Var river, a mountain stream of great beauty and swiftness, flows into the sea. The long range of verdant mountains the Maritime Alps, are directly visible from the grandstand. The beauty of sea, sky
 and land is spread before the eyes.
 The Var valley leading off to the west and north Is fragrant with blossoms
 and full of historic interest and TO- nance.
 Not far up the rambling course of this river Is the little Church of the Madeleine, where Mary Magdalen and Lazarus are said to have preached the gospel to handful of Christian refu- gees. All of this strip of Celto-Iiguri- an coast is intimately associated with the earliest history of the Christian church.
 When TempIars Def7ed the World.
 It was near here, too, that the black and white banners of the Templars in their monday of pride and ferocity spoke defiance to the world. Within sight to the south is Golfe Juan, where Napoleon landed in 1915, coming di- rect from Elba to this point in France. Thus history, political, romantic and religious, serves to make an interest for all the world at this alluring spot
 Small wonder, then, that here this social season should open with un- wonted brilliancy. Many women wore their long sable mantles, but left them swinging open to show their charming new frOcks in bright or dull hued silks.
 These fur mantles are still being worn on the Riviera, because after four in the afternoon a cold wind springs up, and if one is driving in an open car or standing about it is absolutely nee essary to have warm wrap.
 Several new cloth coats were seen. 4 beautiful color effect is carried out in the loose, Wrappy coat of putty
