The United" Idea
The Washington headquarters Of the
United Photograph Stores is in the
Union Trust Building. There the
President Of the company. II. w.
Yeager. outlined the policy of this
large organization that expects to
operate fifty stores in the United States
by September 1. The first store was
opened in Boston about a year ago.
- 1t is an Inter City Chain, with gen.
eral headquarters in New York The
Washington headquarters is directed
by Philip Riefkin, who with ]. V.
Morris represent the local interests
on the Board OF Directors. Of which
the Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw, former Sc
cretary Of the Treasury, Is chairman.
All makes Of machines may be used
in the different stores. The idea is
"chain" for service, for merchan-
disc in large quantities that may be
frequently changed, kept fresh, and
replenished.
So music is to receive the vigor and
the benefit that chain stores for drugs,
for groceries, for many things that
have been patterned after the Wool
worth idea in the Ten Cent Store link,
have given the public.
The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Com
pany has 1900 stores, the Woolworth
Company has / 200 stores. Now music
will begin it's endless chain with the
first Of the United Photograph Stores
IN Washington in the new City Club
Building Of the National Capital.

BAN PLACED ON EXPLETIVE
Some Spanish Priests Forbid Use of
Word "Caramba"-Good Story
in That Connection.

There is a church in La Guaira Ven
ezuela, which is said to have been
erected with the proceeds of fines i'm
posed upon the people of the parish
who profaned their conversation with
the word "caramba"-the common oath
among all classes of people-or with
stronger expressions. The church is
therefore called La Iglesia de la
Sanctissima Caramba."
The word caramba is meaningless,
but 1t is constantly in the mouths of
all people, without regard to sex or
condition, and is not usually considered
reprehensible. But now and then a
pious priest will be found who prohib-
its its use among the sheep and lambs
of his flock.
A story Is told of three pious friars
who were travelling a hot and dusty
road one day, driving a donkey which
bore their luggage. The beast became
obstinate, and finally lay down In the
dirt, much to the damage of their prop
erty. One of them, more impulsive
than the rest, forgot himself so far as
to utter the first syllable of the for
hidden expletive, and said "Car |"
The second exclaimed Ram !" and the
third BAL" which completed the I'M

sentiments Jointly without imperiling
their souls.-Philadelphia LedGsn
