LISTEN, WORLD!

HOPE that most of you will pass this Sec
ton by today. Or, if you read, hope
Il you will not understand it. 1t is written
out of great pity for and grim knowledge
Of heart break; and the smaller the audience
the happier will be. But it must be written.
The world does very little for those whose
hearts are broken. At best it weeps with
them or shelters them as though they were al
ready amongst the dead. That is ALL It has no
philosophy for them-expects no service
offers no rewards. Resignation is their high
est virtue. Theirs is the dank and sunless
march of ghosts.
That is all wrong Great and serene joy
may yet come to those whose hearts are
broken. Bright adventures may be theirs,

They CAN know that secret But they seldom do so few

Most for Y our
Money
BIZ Or. John W. Laird.

When the thousands Of Government
employees get their pay envelopes to-
day, they will Immediately consider the
very practical problem Of how to get
the most Ofslife's necessities out of the
money they have at hand. The home
needs an article of furniture, member
Of the family needs wearing apparel,
a certain amount of money has to be
set aside for recreation. A hundred and
one demands will be made upon the
contents of that semi-monthly reward
of daily labor"
1t is reasonable to assume that in a
great Anniversary Sale, where more
than half million dollars worth Of
attractive merchandise is being offered
at prices that make possible superla-
tive values, the man or woman who
takes advantage Of this remarkable
price reduction will stretch out the buy
ing power of their pay envelope far
beyond its usual reach. In other words,
by increasing the buying power Of his
salary ten, fifteen or twenty-five per
cent, as the case may be, one actually
increases his earning power accord
ingly.
=.
In order that the Government en-
ployees might be given all the advan-
tages possible, we have made special
preparation for Thursday, Friday and
Saturday the days Immediately fol-
lowing pay day Although the first
days Of the sale have surpassed the
first days Of any sale the Palais Royal
has ever held, nevertheless the COM
pleteness of the stocks lis such that in.
all departments requirements have so
adequately enriched the supply that
the last days will be as great as the
first.
Good will is worth great price If
in this. 47th Anniversary Sale the
Palais Royal can increase the good will
Of its public by giving values that
truly represent saving Of money to
the customer, then whatever, the cost
the sale will be considered a paramount
success.
This is our ideal, our purpose and
our goal.

DAMAGE CAUSED
BY LOW BATTERIES
0vercharging Not So Dangerous as
Undercharging, Says
Exide Expert. ~.

A great deal has been said, according
to Mr.. Mackey Of the local Exide serv-
ice station, about the dangers of over
charging an automobile battery, but
the fact is that there is much more
damage actually caused by under
charging. :
The ideal conditions under which
a. battery should be operated" said
Mr.. Mackey, ARE those in which the
iuput of current from the generator
fully compensates for the amount or
current consumed In starting, lighting
and otheE purposes. Doing this, OF
course, depends great deal on. the
driving conditions under which the
individual car owner operates his car,
but it is safe to say that a consider.
able number of generators are not
properly adjusted to these driving
conditions. :,
Car owners do NOT generally re-
alize this point, especially when they
install additional units to their cars,
such as electric cigar lighters, spot
accessories which depend on electric
current for operation.
TT would be a good practice for
every car owner to have his generator
charging rate periodically checked up
by an expert, regardless of how long
or short a time he has had his car.
When leaving the factory the charg-
ing rate on the car is set as near as
possible to take care of average con-
ditions, but as the car manufactures
cannot tell how every car owner Is
going to use his car 1t Is impossible
for the factory to adjust the charging
rate particularly to his needs
an the winter time battery is
subjected to excessive discharging
because Of the amount OF heavy
crankinE necessary, to start the car,
and normally 1t Is I'd be expected that
higher charging rateeis advisable
