THRESHOLD WEEK
AT PALA|S ROYAL
Unique Newspaper Advertising
Is Credited With Big Part
In Success.

Nearly 1000 Beacon cord tires were
sold this week by the Palais Royal.
It was necessary to use five sales
men, assisted by two experts from
the factory who explained all about
the Beacon cord tires to our patrons.
This sale was the largest of its
kind ever held in a department store
In Washington. Speaking of the re-
suits of the sale, Mr.. jacob, adver-
Using manager says: "Our contract
with the Beacon Tire Company was
for one week only. II 1t were with
in our power we would have con-
tinued this sale, but they would only
allow US to sell these tires at half
their list price for one week. A good
portion of our furniture and house
furnishing department was given
over to this sale
I'VE attribute the success Of this
sale to the exceedingly low price
associated with unique newspaper
advertising.
"All Beacon cord tires were sold
on a guarantee of 5000 miles. The
tremendous success of this sale was
possible because of the initiative and
watchfulness of the Palais Royal in
bringing to its patrons greater val

CLARA KEMISALL YOUNG
 AT PALACE THEATER

A picture that enlarges the familiar phrase Al men are equaP' to include the weaker sex, comes with refresh ing novelty under the title Straight From Paris In this, her latest Equity photodrama, Clara Kimball Young portrays the part of a working girl whose fascination brings her into the most exclusive social circles of the smart set. With irresistible beauty, she magnetizes the attentions of one aristocrat upon another, and leads the scions of aristocracy a merry chase.
 The climax comes when her iden- tity as poor shopgirl is discovered and the fundamental problem of a girls status in the social ladder is confronted. That birth is a mere ac- cident, and that genuine worth is measured by what you are, not what your parents are, is forcefully brought home in the development of this ex- citing romance. Straight From Paris" is certainly a timely theme, and will make the hearts of girls and men rejoice at the spirit of fair-play and equality that it upholds.
 See it at the Palace today, Tues day and Wednesday.

AT THE LYCEUM.

The charming versatility of Bert Lytell ia felt in his latest photoplay success, "The Man Whe," which ran aa a story in the Saturday Evening Post. The road to celebrity is steep and pebbly at best-it's no trail to climb barefoot. Yet that's exactly how Bedford Mills, alias Bert Lytell - when he found he must be famous to win the girl he loved-set out: un- shod and unashamed. Tho therno does no- need the Eternal Triangle for it's main interest-it is simple story of a shoemaker, and his sons amazing character. When LyteIl told his girl he loved her, she said II want a man Who.' So he made himself |" a man Who.' That's 'The Man Who."

THOUSANDS OF JEWS
 AT PRAYER TO-DAY
New Years Celebrations Began Last Eyening-Religious Sentiment
 Grows,

New York, Oct. 3.-Throughout the globe there are today many hundreds of thousands of Jews assembled in prayer in synagogues and temples, ushering in the Hebriac conception of the 5682d year of the creation of the world. At sunset last evening the Jewry started it's celebrations for their New Year and these will con- tinue until tomorrow, marked by spe- cial services.
 this year will see the synagogues filled to overfiowing, due, they assert, to the increase of religious sentiment noticeable since the World War, when Jews were so patriotically to the fore in all Allied countries. Employers free for the holidays.
 Today will see the most solemn ceremony Of the New Year carried out, when the "shofar' or rams horn will be blown to remind worshippers of their sins of the last year and to bring to their thoughts their wish | for resolving for a better future. The Jewish New Year has a double signi- 1 ficance. It means to JeWry firstly | udgment, and secondly, remembrance

The Temptation Madge Firmly
 Put Down.

Mrs. COsgrove looked at me shre Hd- ly. as I, with a hesitancy born of my own unWillingness to broach the subject, questioned lger concerning the possibility of accommodating Bess Dean in her home for the re- maining two weeks of the girls va cation.
 The sweet-faced, kindly sister of Robert Savarin has grown very near to me during the summer days in which l have been a paying guest in her home, and 1 know that she gen. timely likes me also. It is a feeling, which with her as with me, goes back to the days when I first say her, and, by lucky accident, saved the artists collection of pictures fro the rapa- cious hands of the woman who pre- tended to be his wife. Robert Say arin's return to sanity dated from this time also, and-illogically fem inine-Mrs. Cosgrove always has given me a great deal of credit for the lifting of the shadow from her idolized brothers mind.
 I flushed a bit beneath her scrutiny, and she, with the directness I have found in the mountain peo- pie, the freedom which our close as sociation has engendered, put her hand upon my shoulder.
 Ut isn't a question of what I can do, my dear child" she said, "but Of what you wish. I can make room for her easily, if Robert doesn't ob- ject, and he wouldn't of course, to any guest of yours. But-' she hesitated-"am I right in thinking that you are only asking this because you think you must be courteous to her for some reason, and that in reality you do not wish her to be here? that haven't solitary place to put her. Just say the word"
 Satisfactory Arrangements
 How tempted I was to 'say the word' I did not realize myself until afterward. But not to Mrs. Cos grove. dear and motherly as. she was, could I reveal the reason for my reluctance to have .Bess Dean be- come member of our pleasant mountain family. And the remem- brance of the mockery in the girls eyes as she asked me if I perhaps consiGered her too disturbing an element braced me to answer my hostess generous appeal with an ap- pearance of sincerity.
 Its awfully good of you to be so considerate of me-" I said breezily, .'but, really. if you possibly can put her up I shall be very glad. You see, she and I taught together for a year and I am indebted to her for a great kindness to a dear friend of

mine. I should be exceedingly dis iappointed if you could not find room ] for her.
 But l can," she said promptly 'fl5 a usual thing, l don't take peo. pie in the farmhouse, but one of my bungalows will be empty today, SC I'll put the twins out there and give your friend a room in the house She might be afraid if she were alone in the cabin at night" I reflected that I yet had to see
 the thing of which Bess Dean would
 be afraid, but aloud l only thanked
 Mrs. CosgrOve heartily for hel
 thoughtfulness and went back to the seat beneath the big tree where Dicky was bending with exaggerated attention over Bess Dean. "Everything's all set" I called cheerily as I came near them. I dc not often indulge in Dicky's slang phrases, but I wished to omit noth- ing which would emphasize or en-
 be1ish my role of delighted hostess Mrs. Cosgrove can give you a room
 in the farmhouse, so, Dicky, Suppose you run Miss Dean over to the hote and get her luggage
 'Come Along, Madge.' Bess Dean rose promptly to hel feet, her lips smiling, but her eyes narrowing a bit, a trick l remem- bered when she was not quite pleased.
 50 I won't be in one of those ducky cabins" she said gayly, but recognized the note of malice in he1 voice. Did you tell the old girl she'd better keep me close under he1 eye?'
 No, she's a very keen observer retorted, laughing, and she insist ed upon a look at you through the window before she would take you a1 all. I think she labelled you 'deslr- able but dangerous and then as signe you her room. But let me give you a pointer-don't interefere with her arrangements or she is very like ly to remember suddenly that she has promised the room to some one else and forgotten her promise fol the moment"
 I spoke nothing but the truth ir my last words, for l had seen with much quiet amusem ens the clever | subterfuges which Mrs. Cosgrove used in getting rid of persons o1 whom she disapproved.
 Bess Dean wrinkled her nose-a | comical little gesture, which is odd | ly attractive when she does not dc | it too often-and looked up at Di2k2 | coquettishly.
 Well, if I'm to be shackled to z 1uenna, you must promise to come and break my chains occasionally | or I'll die of ennuli.'
 l Dicky struck the attitude of a melo- l dramatic tenor, and beat himself upon the breast with a clenched fist
 'I will rescue you as many time! a day as you wish," he declared
