The Wanamaker Store is of the safe
stores in which man may purchase his Spring
clothing.
This simple statement will blaze out like a
lighthouse amid the great flash and fireworks
sent up by hundreds Of extravagant statements
in advertisements, because everybody knows IT
to De TRUE.
Without claiming that good clothing can
be found nowhere ese we claim that it can be
found nowhere better in quality, workmanship
and correct fashion; and probably nowhere else
in such a wide selection of Spring colors, styles
materials, and above ALL at the prices.
There is no April-like uncertainty as to
what the wearing will bring forth; no taking
fver' on how you'll look in it in six months
or a shorter time, hence; puzzle, no problem

This Is Attitude Taken By Secretary Glass To-
 ward Europe. U. $. HAS DONE
 ALL IN POWER

Washington, Jan. 30-Europe. in- Solar as the United States govern ment is concerned, must reply upon her own resources in retrieving f. nancfal equilibrium. This was the interpretation here of the letter Sec retary of the Treasury Glass has sent to a committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, which sought government expression on the proposed international conference Of fnanciers and commercial leaders to discuss reconstruction problems
 In a blunt statement of the facts as he sees them, MT. Glass declared "the American government has done all that it believes advisable and practicable to aid Europe" The con- ference, he added, would serve "to cause confusion and revive hopes doomed to disappointment, of further government loans"
 The Treasury department does not offer objection, MT. Glass said, if the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, which has charge of the de- tails of the conference, wishes to name delegates to an Informal con- ference, provided the scope and character and limitations of such a btlity of United States government action, are clearly understood

BRYAN GIVES
 GOV, EDWARDS
 SHARP REBUKE
Says His Candidacy Is Of fence Against Demo
 cratic Party

Asheville, N. C., Jan. 30.---Reply- ing to a statement last night by Gov ernor Edwards of New Jersey that William Jennings Bryan sought a 'death harmony in the Democratic party with San Francisco as the s'morgue,' MT. Bryan said here today he hoped the New Jersey executive ''would keep on talking" as no champion of the liquor traffic can talk long without insulting the conscience and sense of decency of the country"
 The more Governor Edwards talks" said MT. Bryan, 'fthe more ashamed Chairman Cummings will bo of giving responsibility to his cand1- dacy for the presidential nomination, and the more certain it will be that prominent Democrats will have other engagements when invited to his meetings.
 Governor Edwards candidacy is an nffense against the Democratic party, and the sooner he finds out that he is going up against a stone wall and settle down to companionship with those who used to be engaged in the criminal business of which he has be rome the most conspicuous champion, the sooner the party will be able to turn its attention to the important work before it.

 $250, ,OOO

Washington, Jan. -Sixty-four in stances of attacks, derailments and dynamiting of trains in Mexico dur ing the last year are classified as seri- ous in an official report, a copy of which reached Washington today. The instances reported were chiefly in the northern part of the country and on the Mexican line, between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, and the isthmus line.
 The report makes a point of the fact that most of these wrecks as a result of rebel activities, occurred during the first half of the year, and officials here regard this as due to the refusal of the United States to permit shipments of arms and munitions, in- cludfng dynamite into Mexico during the second half of the year.
 The decrease in the number of these outrages was credited in the report however to changes in the personne. of the railroad administration, the appointment of General Manager Fontes to handle the railroads and his activities on inspection trips in various parts of the country.
