THE keenest of merchants cannot evade the accn'
Il mutation of short lots-they are as much part
of the big modern department store as the express
elevators-or the cash registers.
Hence on certain occasions-here 1t is semi.
annually-must come house-cleaning riddance
of these odds and ends-in order to maintain clean
fresh stocks. Good merchandising demands that
these goods must be sold-no matter how low they
must be priced to dispose of them-which interests
you the that this necessity offers the most
engaging of shopping opportunities -attested to
by the values which speak out emphatically from

Great Vessel Remained
Afoat Only Twenty
Minutes After the Col
lision With French
Steamer Seine-Stories
of Disaster Are Con-
hicting

Brest, May 22.-(By Associated
Press -Ninety-eight persons are
missing and 242 were saved of those
who were on board the British steam
ship Egypt, when it was sunk off
the Island of Ushant Saturday night
by a collision with the French steam
er Seine, according to late official
dispatch.
Among those missing are two Am
erican women, Mrs. NJ. L. Sibley and
Miss V. NJ. Boyer, missionaries on
their way to India. 1t is possible
that some of the missing may have
been picked up by the steamer Cap
Iracon in addition to those brought
here by the Seine. The Cap Iracon
was nine miles from the scene and
replied to the distress signals with
the assurance that she was speed
ing to the rescue.
According to the Egypt's purser.
the ship floated only twenty minutes
after her plates were crushed in by
the Seine. The Egypt, he declared
was not moving at the time of the
accident, lying to. on account of the
fog and sounding her siren contiu-
uously.
Suddenly there came the warning
shrek of the siren on the Seine and
! the latter loomed up out of the fog
and darkness and struck the Egypt
amidships.
With the crash there came a terri
BILE confusion on the stricken ves-
sci. Four of the five boats were
all that could be lowered on account
OF the list Of the vessel, and many
persons hurt themselves jumping ov-
erboard, fearing to be drawn down
with the Egypt.
There was no one on board when
the vessel took her final plunge, he.
believed.
The purser estimated that fifteen
passengers, 80 white officers and fifty
Lascars of the crew were missing.
Who Missionaries Were
Boston, May 22.-Mrs. NJ. l.. Sibley
and Miss NJ. L. Boyer, the American
women. who are missing from the
British steamship Egypt, sunk off the
coast of France. were missionaries
bound for India, who had been in this
city recently. Mrs. Sibley. a member
of the staff of the American board Of
commissioners for foreign missions,
has relatives in Toledo, Ohio. Miss
Boyer, who formerly made her home
at Aspinwall, Pennsylvania, was going
out as a teacher in a school for mis-
sionaries. children and others in
South India.
Mrs. Sibley was a widow somewhat
beyond middle years, returning to her
citation in the city of Way Miss
Boyer, with no parents or relatives
alive, was taking up work in the mis-
sion field for the first time.

ONLY THOUSAND SURVIVORS
FROM LOST GREEK LEGION

Constantinople. May 22.-(By the
Associated Press. )-Survivors of the
Greek lost legion which fed from Sam
sun, Asiatic Turkey, last year, are
beginning to arrive in the neutral
zone near Ismid, after six months of
wandering through mountainous coun-
try.
"Out of the 1000 Greek refugees
who fed from Samsun, fewer than
1000 survive" says statement by
the Greek military here, but these
are safely within sight of the neutral
zone. Since their departure from
Samsun they have constantly been
pursued by the Turks, whom they
eluded mainly by living in inaccessi-
BILE parts of mountains. They were
compelled, however, to fight several
pitched battles, in which they suffered
terrible losses owing to complete lack
of arms and ammunition.
Archbishop Meletios MetaXakls,
Greek patriarch of Constantinople. has
appealed to all the Christian churches
of the world, asking them to use their
utmost influence in pursuading the
great powers to prevent further prose-
cutions of the Christians in Asia Min
or, which is stain on humanity and
civilization.

flapper was defended by the Rev. AL
bert Pennewell. pastor of the Coven-
ant church at Ranston yesterday in
a sermon in which he approved of
short skirts, bobbed hair and nick
erbockers.
"Flapperism is not a disease, but
a diversion" he said "Bobbed hair,
short skirts and knickerbockers are
not signs of sin but a declaration
of independence. The girls are a
jolly lot and they will give us the
finest generation of women the world
has ever known.
I'VE are passing from the man
age, a rough age and emerging into
the age of culture the womens age.
That is why the flapper exists to-
day. The new agewill not be one ruled
by women, but one in which their
influence will be felt. Girls in the
past have been pretty little birds
in cages or husky beasts of burd-

New Orleans Concern Places Its
Local Representation With
King Insurance Agency

Showing their faith in the future
of Lakeland, the officers of the Mort
gage and Securities Company of New
Orleans has decided to add this city
to their Florida list for commercial
building investments. For several days
Lynn S. Nichols, the treasurer, has
been in Lakeland making a careful
investigation of city property and of
the back country. In company with
w. L. King of the King Insurance
Agency, Mr.. Nichols has covered
much OF Polk county for the purpose
of satisfying himself as to just how
strong Lakeland's agricultural back
ing really is. His report to headquar-
ters was entirely favorable with the
result that the King Agency is now ad'
vised that 1T may proceed to make
investments of the company's funds
in the erection of new commercial
buildings and loans on commercial
buildings already constructed. An un
limited amount of money is available
for these purposes. Mr.. Nichols visit
follows that made by the president OF
the Mortgage and Securities Company
Sidney w. Souers, of New Orleans
who spent few days here not many
weeks ago. President Souers was
very much impressed with the out
look for this section, so much so that
his impressions led to the visit Of
Treasurer Nichols.
In all probability this company will
within the next twelve months, be in
terested financially in Lakeland to the
extent of several hundred thousand
dollars. The entry into Lakeland will
