Big Changes in
Swift & Turner Store

Alterations which have been under
way at the Swift & Turner store for
over three months have now been
completed and the place presents an
appearance SO different from what
it was that it actually looks twice
as large as formerly.
The old office at the rear of the
store has been torn out and the
whole OF that part of the room has
been devoted to new counters and
display shelves. The office has been
moved to that part of the store &C.
cupied by the north room.
But this change is but minor COM
pared with what has been done with
the general arrangement of the
whole place. Everywhere cases and
shelves have been changed and new
counters installed. The walls new
ly painted white fairly glisten while
the counters and cases with their
mahogany finish form pleasing
contrast to the great expanse of
ceiling and wall.
Everything is in sight, for the
silent salesman idea has been car
ried out everywhere. Not only is
every article of goods displayed, but
in practically every case the price
is also attached. The arrangement
will be a benefit all round for
customers will be able to find what
they want and know the price much
more easily and the assistants in
the store will be able to give bet
ter service.
Many new lines Of merchandise
have been added to the already large
stock on hand and as the demand
increases still further lines stocked
Daniel b. Weeks. who purchased
the store early in the winter and
who has been manager there sc
long. has been the recipient of con-
gratulations on all sides because OF
the truly metropolitan appearance
the establishment now presents.

SHENANDOAH MAY
NOT GO WITH FLEET
Cruising Radius Limit oi
DirigibIe Makes Voyage to
/ Hawaii Doubtful.

Plans for cruising the Navy airship
Shenandoah with the Fleet during
the Spring maneuvers in Hawaiian
waters next year may have to be
revised because of the limited
present cruising capacity OF the ship.
As now equipped the Shenandoah
has a cruising radius Of about $500
miles without refueIing, and 1t is
understood that during the recent
conference to plan for the employ
mcnt of the ship during the next
Few months some of the experts
raised the question whether it would
he wise to send che big airship to
Hawaii.
A project to increase the fuel capa-
city of the Shenandoah to widen her
cruising radius by 1000 to 1900
miles is being considered by the
Bureau of Aeronautics. The ship is
now operated by five motors, de-
Neloping 500 horsepower each, and
one suggestion is that they be replaced
with three 6oo-horsepower geared
drive motors, which have a very
much reduced weight In comparison
with the power produced This
difference in weight would increase
the capacity of the ship to carry
fuel. ~ s'' 80 .@..
It seems unlikely, however, that
se alterations could be made In
/ ne to permit the Shenandoah to
IN. Hawaiian waters. Final decision
who is very anxious that the Shenan-
doah operate with the fleet during
the maneuvers il practicable.
