are the finest shirts made anywhere in the world.
They establish the American fashions. They have
no serious rivals, either in quality or in social pref
erence. And, because they are the best shirts, they
possess the added advantage of being the most
economical. They cost more than some others, but
less per year than any others. We offer a s~atisfac-
tory service to every man who is far-sighted
enough to appreciate and want the best.

.BERGDOLL GOLD BURIED,
SLACKER'S MOTHER SAYS
Raised Her Boys as Quakers, She
Explains, as Reason They
Would Not Fight.

Washington, May lion the wit
ness stand yesterday Mrs Emma c.
Bergdol of Philadelphia. mother OF
Grover G. Bergdol. the draft desertcr
who In now evading tho American au-
thorities from behind the German. hor.
der. testified that the SIM 900 In gold
which she obtained from the United
States treasury was buried In q spot
somewhere not far from Philadelphia
which only she knew
Efforts to force her to admit that she
gave this money to her son proved
unavaling. At the end OF the day.
Representative LuhrinR of Indiana, "A
member of the House committee which
Is investigating the l3orgdoll escape.
Numbered at Mrs. Ber,Fdoll
AT your trial the District Attorney
said you were not telling the truth
about this gold; that you have given II
TO Grover. Why didn't yon produce it?s'
Il didn't have to-" replied Mrs. Berg
doll.
Well, you were on trial for your
liberty: would you rather go 10 the
penitentiary than produce this gold?
Why not produce it,"
IT'S n lot OF trouble answered Mrs.
Bergdoll In her strong German accent
Which constantly Kept M1e committee
members on edge to understand her.
Earlier in the afternoon, General
John II. Sherburne. counsel for the
committee, had asked Mrs Bergdoll 10
define as nearly as possible without dis
closing its actual hiding place just where
this gold was supposed to be buried
She refused. saying that II was no.
body's business but hers.
Mrs. Bervdoll. who will be sentenced
next Tuesday for aiding her son 10
evade the draft, Is short and stout, with
gray hair and a swarthy complexion.
She wore n black dress trimmed with
lace, black cape, a long gold chain
about her neck, heavy rings and n
black straw hat with a white ribbon
She testified readily, injecting many
remarks Mt which the committee laugh
ed. Shrowdness was often shown by
such comments as this. when she said
she had no lawyer:
II don't take anybody's advice. The
Lord gave me my head and / use my
own"
She insisted that Grover Bergdoll
managed his financial affairs and that
she had little to do with them. He
was worth at least $500 900 in his own
name, she said. and out of this sum
he had purchased just two $50 Liberty
bonds
How many Liberty bonds did YOU
buy?f asked Representative Isuhring /
None! ] got two of them $50 ones
in payment of a mortgage"

MYTHS


IT HERE Is a strain of the mystic In
= mariners which will never die
For safety's sake they hold to mathe'
NAUTICAL precision when necessary. But
deep In the long night watches come
/. over again the old apparitIons of the
sea.
Even In the navy this holds. There's
the thick main armor belt poured and
forged by formula. There's the hice
complexity OF the thermometer. There
are drop-forged cranks and pistons,
and glistening oiI-tempered torpedo
tubes.
Yet who has not heard the whisper
of fog on the armor shelf? No doubt
Columbus knew that the lips of thick
weather on its way can always warn
the keen-eared ship captain. Though
the truth of the matter is that thick
weather comes With calm, and the
wash of sen alongside is then more
noticeable.
And who, in spite of thermometers
(wind velocity measurers), does not
know that westerly wind will work
evil with ones compass? Though the
scientific fact is that homewaYd
Founders into Queenstown started this
myth. They were right too For with
weeks on westerly trades the earths
forces induce a slight new magnetism
into the ships iron and so 'works
evil with the compass needle"
There is the "well-known attraction
of land on ships which the old ras-
Gals used to bring up in court after an
inexplicable grounding. They used to
get away with 1t too. But can you
imagine better creed when one has
fifteen-million-dollar man-of-war and a
thousand lives on ones hands than to
believe that rocks and shoals are draw
ing the helpless monster into danger?
Is there better spirit to keep a man
eternally vigilant and alert?
4 Some old beliefs are very real. Local
magnetic spots are not DEVILS holes
as was first supposed. OF Madagascar
and In several parts of the South Paci-
fic are areas of iron-sand bottoms or
something of the sort. British cruisers
have several times reported sudden
and extreme variations of their COM
passes at these points.
On the other hand equinoctial
storms (March p and September 21)
are pure myths. SO are weather
changes with changes of the moon.
And. it's lunacy to believe that after
noon sights are less dependable than
those of early morning-unless ones
grog allowance Is too great.

All Kinds of Money.

Ii might be possible to buy almost
every one Of the iifly-seyen famous
varieties of pickles made i'm Pittsburgh
with different kind of paper money.
Everybody knows that we have numer-
Gus kinds of paper currency. NATIONAL
bank notes, federal reserve notes, gold
and silver certificates, and others. But,
observes the American Banker, at Is
doubtful IL many realize that in all
there are fifty-four different designs OF
various denominations" and 1t contin-
ues: ''Of ones, twos and one thousands,
there are five kinds; of fives, fifties
and one hundreds, six kinds; of tens
and twenties, seven kinds; of five hum
.dreds, four kinds; Of ten thousands;
two, and of five thousands, one.
Naturally, this makes counterfeiting
easier, and treasury officials are dis
cussing ways to reduce the variety.
This should include printing all notes
of the same denomination in the same
color, with distinct and different coll
or for each denomination. No one then
would have to scrutinize a bill to deter
mine its value, and there would besno
possibility of raising note Of low de-
nomination to higher one. Literary
