One great merit of llnoleum Is Its
cleanliness. II does not absorb grease,
does not crack or groove, will wear
for years, and may be kept spotlessiy
clean by frequent washing.
One does not need to buy llnOleum
every day, and so 1t is important to
know quality when making the original
outlay.
You Judge the wearing quality OF
linoleum by Its surface finish and
thickness. OF course in small house

but naturally the thicker the limo
leum, the more Ii can be walked upon
without giving way. Always examine
the edges of the different pieces from
which you are choosing, and select the
one which seems to have the right
thickness for the amount of wear you
expect II to stand
The linoleum that has the design
extending through the whole thickness
is the most durable. You can see this
by examining along the cut edge. 1t

usually in the heavier grades, and cost
more than the standard weight limo

Do not choose linoleum In which

Later the taxicab company was organized but the city declined to issue permit. contending that ie was an effort to evade the previous ordinance. The company applied to the circuit court for an appropriate writ which would require the city to issue the permit, but the circuit court decide against 1t Tho su- preme court, in an opinion by MT.

 A. A. Gambill of the realty firm bearing his name, negotiated the deal He announced for the Phoenix company that plans for improvement of the property soon would be made.

SH0PP| |NC IN RAIN
 SHORTENED NERVE
Sloppy Streets, Crowds And Splashing, Honking Cars,
 Marked Saturday

Horrible visions of empty stock ings battled desperately Saturday with Old Man Rain. and there were some casualties in the Christmas shopping lists.
 Stores suffered losses during the deluges. but it still was a hard day for Conscientious clerks. Earnings which had assumed the monumental proportions of the last pay day before Christmas just had to be turned loose, and 1t was a matter of hours Instead of days.
 The halliday off, combining with the weekly envelope formed a team that even Christmas Eve-the very last day!-cou1dn't possibly equal in spite of the fact that many empioyes will have holiday at that time as well as Christmas day.
 The 50 per cent crowd flooded prac- ticaI1y every store in the sopping dis- trict and bought feverishly but not unintelligently. It was a. ubiquitous throng. Few were able to give calm and calculating, judgment to their presents, and a sudden determination to IT. ake Cousin Ephraim see the siver instead of the gift was obvious.
 The situation was most acute at the Christmas card counter, where were made the final tnprints of un- decided fingers which found solace in last minute selections.
 The real tragedies of the day oc- cured in the shipping departments of the larger stores, They followed in fatal sort of way from attempts by customers to shop by phone and yet retain the advantages of careful selections.
 TO the shopping crowd Christmas did not seem at all romantic under the influence of rain. It was stean- 7 and urgent business smacEing of tribulation and the sort of tedious ness that suggested mutiny.
 Unlimited upackages did not at all go well with umbrellas, and the streets were filled with persons who could not find 1t In their hearts to love one another If one another kept threatening to punch out eyes.
 Attempts to, see approaching troll leys and automobiles were g1ven up early; autoists were given an oppor- tunity to take matters in their own hands, and slow progress was made.
