Store Stops Its Ads,
Then Quits Business

The voluntary closing of the Muir
dock Bros ladies' ready-to-wear
store, at Champaign, Ill, for the
last eighteen years a leading store
of the city, was accomplished in
order to avoid the necessity of
throwing the concern into bank
ruptcy, according to a signed state
ment carried in the News-Gazette
The necessity for closing the
doors of this establishment is as
signed by E. L. Murdock. in the let
ter published in the News-Gazette,
to the withdrawal of all newspaper
advertising from the columns of the
Champaign News-Gazette. Part of
Murdock's letter touching on his
inability to hold the public's trade
without the use of newspaper. ad-
vertising space follows:
Another contributing cause, and
perhaps the greatest contributing
cause. is the fact that for some time
our firm, because we thought the
rate was too high. withheld all ad-
vertising from the News-Gazette.
For two years We were out of
the paper. We were without proper
means of getting messages about
our store into the homes of our
friends and customers. The result
was that they soon forgot us. We
tried other forms of advertising to
supplant the News-Gazette, but we
found none that was effective. Our
business continued on the down
grade.
after two years we saw the err
ror of staying out of the News
Gazette. Arrangements were made
again with the News-Gazette to car
ry Murdock Brothers advertising
into the homes in this community.
The business began to thrive-but
it was too late. Seemingly, our
friends had forgotten about us.
''The fault was ours. For too
long we had failed to remind them
about the splendid merchandise
values in our store"

PLENTY OF ACTION
In NEW VALENTINO
PARAMOUNT FILM

Movie fans who yearn for action
in pictures will get plenty of it
when Monsieur Beaucaire," the
Sidney Olcott production for Para
mount starring Rudolph Valentino,
comes to the Opera House tomor-
row and Thursday.
The Booth Harrington story has
been unchanged except for the in
sertion of number of scenes in the
opening of the picture in order to
build up the French episodes in the
story. In the original book there
were no French scenes, all the ac-
tion taking place in England, with
the incidents in France merely men
toned at different places in the
story. While there is plenty of
dramatic suspense in the French
scenes in the picture there is little
actual physical combat, except for
the closing scenes of the episode
showing the supper table of King
Louis XIV. 1t is here the action
takes place that ends up with the
Duke de Chartres, played by Val
entino, defying the king, who has
ordered the duke to marry the
Princess Bourbon-Conti. The
scenes showing Rudy resisting the
efforts of the kings guards to ar
rest him are as thrilling as any yet
put upon the screen.
But it is in the English episode
that Valentino has most of his
fighting to do. Posing as Beau
caire, a barber, the duke soon gets
into trouble by trying to win Lady
Mary away from Lord Winterset.
After several unsuccessful attempts
to have Beaucaire permanently re-
moved from active competition for
Lady Mary's hand, Winterset final
ly hires six swordsmen to do the
work. Valentines scrap with these
six men is classic.
The action in this scene takes
place on the terrace of noble
mans home near Bath. Incident
ally, Director Olcott had the big
gest set ever built at Paramount
Long Island studio for this scene,
the entire floor space of the main
stage being taken up by the exte-
rior of the house, graveled paths,
trees, grass and shrubbery.
Rudolph is busily courting Lady
Mary, when he is rudely interrupt
ed by the henchmen of Winterset.
Quickly removing his coat, Rudy
gets into the fight and succeeds in
picking the men off one by one. AS
he is finishing, the last man, who
has stayed out of the fight for a
particular purpose, steps into the
fray and the tired Beaucaire is be
ing badly beateny when the fight is
stopped by some friends of Beau
caire, who arrive in the nick of
time
Featured in support of Valentino
in this picture, which, incidentally,
marks his first screen appearance
in two years, are Bebe Daniels,
Lois Wilson, Doris Kenyon and
Lowell Sherman. Quite lineup,
you'll admit. The supporting cast
includes some really big names.

but admitted that he is planning to
run for the office in 1926. He de-
clared, however, that he would not
run in opposition to Congressman
Carl Hayden, should that official
decide to seek reelection to the
office
Mr.. Belts is now serving the
third year of his second term as a
member of the Arizona Corporation
Commission. 1t is believed by
friends of Mr.. Belts that his ex-
perience in rate matters and his
familiarity with rate structures in
the country will be of vast assist
ance in formulating legislation de-
signed to solve the transportation
problems of the nation.

Third Day.

THE SARGASSO SEA, January 2S.-
The snow-white nose of the Santa
Luisa is now shattering one of the
famous maritime myths of the ancients.
We are sailing peacefully along the
edge of the Suicide Seattle dreaded
Sargasso Sea Of weed that was once
feared by all sailors and thought to be
plague spot Of the deep where ships
became becalmed and entangled and
slowly fioated around in a vast morass
of tenacious seaweed, all the while at
the mercy of giant serpents and octopi
which reached long sliny arms aboard
and snatched off pious sailormen.
Often-boy and mani have looked
at various maps and noted with con-
suming interest and mingled dread
, that neatly drawn bIotch just off
Florida. My imagination was worthy
of the ancients, and l always more OF
less believed-until today-that this
spot on the map labeled the ''Sargasso
Sea- was an unnavigable mass Of float
ing seaweed in the backwaters of the
ocean currents
Life is 50 full of snares and illusions
that 1 don't mind learning that the
blue waters of the tropical Sargasso
are but sparsely spotted with brown
patches of seaweed-none over an acre
in extent-that they are neither a
menace to navigation nor cause for
alarm to the most timid landlubber.
Don't smile at the ancient skipper's s
skittishness He was anything but a
coward On the contrary, he is about
the bravest man 1 know. l am think

SPRINCTIME
Spring Beauties.
BY ID. c. PEATTIE.

Sharp are the eyes that see the
flower is common in the District in
the month of March and thereafter
until May, its blooms are so ephem
eral that. like the shooting stars, al
most before a man may say "Behold"
they are gone. Swiftly blooming
swiftly whitening, such is the life of
the Spring beauty. But this only
lends something gamey to the hunt
when one goes out to search for the
prettiest little flower Of March.
Spring beauties are mostly to be
found in rich dark loan in the woods.
Among deep green leaves, atop slen-
der stems, one, two or three frail
blossoms grow. blossoms of the sort
that wither as soon as they are
picked Nodding in bud, the flowers
at maturity stand upright, offering
like shallow chalices. their wide
corollas to the sky. The petals are of
crimson pink or rarely white, with
deeper veins OF pink that start from
yellow bases. The golden stamens
add their elegance to this miniature
beauty. and to them come both but
terfiies and bees to gather nectar and
collect the pollen for cross-fertiliza-
ton.
There Is a little story about Spring
beauty which all nature lovers must
treasure. 1t tells how John Torrey,
early father of American botany,
when just a lad, was given an old
fashioned primer OF plant study. All
Winter long beside the hearth at
night the boy pored over the dim
pages, longing for the Spring And
when the first warm days came he
hastened out in the fields (his home
in tho middle of Manhattan Island
was in the country then) to try his
new lore in Identifying the first
flowers. Spring beauty met his eye
before all Others and for this reason
It remained forever the favorite
flower OF that early American bot

Flowers Used Lavishly ON New Hats
BY MARY MARSHALL,

If you haven't quite decided what
sort of hat to select. then by all
means get one that is flower trimmed
For the flower-trimmed hat is highly
Favored. Never were flowers lovelier
and never were hat shapes better
suited to the placement of artificial
hoWers than now. We heve learned
a great lesson in simplicity of late
years. Since we have worn hats with
practically no trimming at all we
are now quite willing to wear only
a few ffowers-nothing more. The
old fashioned trimmed hats had
everything from flowers to rib
bon bows, aigrettes, ostrich, metal
buckle and rosettes of maline all col
lected on one poor hat.
Here is a charming, very wide
brimmed hat of fine pink horsehair
with two rosesfone pink and one
golden yellow-attached to the under
side of the brim at the right. A leg
horn capeline is trimmed with rath-
er soft bouquet of mixed flowers
placed at the apex with the leaves
and stems dropping down the sides
of the crown
a small narrow -brimmed shape in
white silk crepe is trimmed with
mauve, pink and blue hydrangeas
placed lightly over the crown. A
wide -brimmed round crowned cape
line of glossy black straw has a
band of black velvet around the
crown and large brilliant red poppies
at the side. Another capeline, this
time of natural leghorn, has a wreath
of field fiowers-daisies, wheat, corn
hoWers, poppies and small convolvu-
lus. Then there is another wide
brimmed capeline, this time in black
straw-with brim at either side
slashed way into the crown. On the
under side beneath each slash are
placed two enormous white roses.
On the new Louis XVI shapes, that
turn up high in the back and bend
down at the front, one frequently
sees roses placed at the back as well
as on the under brim at the right
side.
Among the other artificial flowers
seen on smart new hats are; fuChsia-
colored dahiias, nasturtium- colored
roses, deep purple sweet williams.
A new way of using flowers is to
sew them down in applique style so
that they seem to he part of the hat
rather than the trimming. Forget
me-nots, viOlets and nasturtiums are
used in this way.

Expelled.

Rosina was not so smart Her
mother acknowledged it with sorry
shake of the head, the teachers
agreed to it, Rosina was not so smart.
Rosina alone held a different opinion.
But she kept it to herself like a wise
child. Minorities of one have not
much chance. Silence is expedient
Now Rosina went to a very big
school in very big city. The school
was one of those highly organized,
scientifically graded modern institu-
tions in which the sheep are the sheep
and the goats are the bleating out
casts of which Rosina was numbered
one.
Along about promotion time Rosina
stayed after school to wash the boards
and ~water the fainting ferns and
help teacher generally. Teacher was
making up her promotion sheet-so
many to class one, so many to class
two, SO many to class three; total, so
many. Miss Jones from across the
hall came in. They talked about the
numbers on the sheet, and the teach
ers who got class one and class two
and class three. Yes" said teacher,
laughing, You get the B. " DIS.

Our Children-By Angelo Patri

Rosina listening was stricken. She
knew that she was B. V. d. and she
was going to be put in class three
with the rest. She had seen the three
beside her name. Something must be
done. She could not bear to be in a
class with that label Never!
She knew where teacher hung the
keys and she watched her chance
When teacher was well down the
street she came out of the wardrobe,
took the keys and stole softly to the
desk There lay the sheet all neatly
filled out and totaled Rosina knew
what to do Deity she erased the
number going to class three making
1t one less and then changed the num-
Der going to class one and made that
one more. hTe total she was pleased
to note would remain the same.
Next morning teacher looked and
looked again at her promotion sheet.
There was something wrong with
that sheet. But what? 1t added up
all right, but 1t looked queer. Slowly
it dawned upon her. The erasures
were plainly SCARED on the white
paper. Who could have done it?
Why, Rosina, of course.

FINANCING TROUBLES
SMALL-HOME OWNER
Problem Must Be Met, Hoover
Says, at Better Home
Demonstration.

The means and methods of financ-
ing the home is the greatest problem
in the path of the prospective small
home owner, Herbert Hoover, Secre-
tary of Commerce and president OF
Better Homes in America, told the
visitors at Washington better home, y
at Aurora Hills, Va, yesterday after
noon. With Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine, DR.. John NJ. Cries, chief of
the division Of building and housing
of the Department of Commerce, and
DR.. James Ford, executive director of
Better Homes in America, Mr.. Hoover
paid a surprise visit to the demon
stration house. The demonstration Is
in charge of committee of the DIS
trict of Columbia Home Economics
Association A delegation from the
Arlington District Better Homes dem
onstration at Lee Heights was also
present Mr.. Hoover said:
Il want to congratulate the District
of Columbia Home Economics Asso-
citation, which has made this excellent
demonstration of a well furnished ana
equipped small home. which is within
the reach of the family of moderate
means BY the 1000 such demonstra-
tions which are being made during
this Better Homes week throughout
the country we have shown how
homes can be built and furnished at
tractively. Our next problem Is to
study the financing of such homes.
This is the biggest problem that the
prospective small home owner has to
face and one which should be rem
eded."
The Secretary of Agriculture spoke
on the relationship of the educational
work of better homes in America to
the rural population. Mr.. Jardine said:
II am greatly pleased to see this
