For outstanding successes there are always fundamental reasons. Great successes don't just happen. The reasons why Jordan's has made such rapid progress in the business of women's apparel is because we have made it our business to offer our customers the unusual in style, quality and value.

At so phenomenal price this offering will create a sensation. These coats are ex- quisitely styled and expertly tailored. All have fur collars, many have fur cuffs, and many are banded with fur.

The man in the case left a sign on
his door asking that he be not dis
turbed. Later his body Is found. and
a group Of people in the room when
the police arrive are positive in their
assertions that they saw no such

is accusation and finally exoneration
but before these events happen the
audience is taken on joy-ride of thrill
and puzzling situations.

has been plain lately that the west is
not for Collidge. The president him
self realizes that the third term ira
dition is insurmOuntable, having re-
tired many bigger men than Calvin.
It is likely that Coolidge made this
decision after conferences with astute
politicians who automatically gave
him the "black bottle, althO all of
them are feigning thhe greatest sur
prise. However wise one kwnow that
Coolidge did what the bosses told him
to do and he did it smiling.
The announcement Of Coolidge's de-
Cisi0n not to become a candidate

democratic candidate. His chances
do not look SO good as they did.
