JAMES ]. DAVIS
DEFENDS YOUNG
FOLKS OF TODAY

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 81, P-A de- |
Tense of the young people of to-day
a. caution to the college student on
the threshold of graduation to take
things slow, and by hard work, make !
their success in the world and al
condemnation Of brotherhood, as it |
is conceived in "bolshevik' Russia,
were contained in an address delivered
by Secretary of Labor James j. Dav-
lis here today.
The secretary, addressing the clos
ing session of the Delta Sigma Phi
international college fraternity con-
vention, told the young delegates
that most important of all, they
must not seek an easy and quick
path to success, but must take the
slow and sure way of hard work.
AS an example, he pointed to Cali
fornia'S recent murder sensation,
saying that the youth involved-an
honor pupil in school sought the
easy" way and now, when his
mind should be filled with the bright
est hopes and aspirations, there
bangles before him the hangmans
moose
Z AS an example OF the success COM
ing to the hard worker he pointed
to Colonel Lindbergh, Americas am
baSSador Of the air. He told of the
hard struggle of the young aviator to
gain education; or his constant ap-
plication to his study of aeronau-
tics; Of the slow and arduouS work
in the air mail service;i and his un-
tiring preparations for a tranS-At-
lantic flight. MANY q young fellow
would have cried out against the
hard grind, he said. "BIt not Lind
bergh. The truth is, his rise has
been swift because he took it slow
ly and was prepared.
The secretary had much praise for
college fraternitieS and the brand of
brotherhood they teach-a brother
hood unlike that of ''bolshevik" Rus
sia. The fraternity brotherhood he
termed a brotherhood of love, equal
ity, charitable and generous The
Russian brotherhood, he termed mo
thing but an attempt Of. q band to
stab the BRAIN" A million
men under control of half a dozen
leaders, debating to the remaining
140,000O00 what they shall do-hoW
many hours they shall work what
they can read what they are to
think ana they call that brother
hood"
He labelled fraternal organizations
as the true idea of brotherhood Ito
be mutually helpful to one another
and to exemplfy the concept of one
for I'll and allsfor for one.
College fraternities are criticised
today, he added, mostly because
"when men get to be so old that they
no longer are able to set a bad ex-
ample t6 youth, they are apt to get
hot for a spurious variety of right
eouSness The young people
of today are as good as their fa-
theirs were at the same age and I
think they will compare favorably
with their fathers even if their re-
C--etive ages are not taken into
consideration

companied by Mr. and Mrs. William
B. Stout and Mrs. John A. Ceilings

Lindbergh spent the Christmas holi-
days with her son Colonel Charles

Due to low visibility caused by a

this city was unable to find land
ing place. He finally identified the
Roby speedway and decided to land
there.
Mrs. Lindbergh and her party inn
mediately went into a roadhouSe for
hot coffee, and then proceeded by
motor car to a hotel here.
Pilot Brooks later took the plane
from Roby to the municipal airport
here. Pending better weather condi-
tions, the party did not announce any
plans for proceeding to Detroit, where
Mrs. Lindbergh will resume her school
teaching next Tuesday.

NEW YORK CITY
CELEBRATES A
DRY NEW YEAR

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 iR-The
merrymakers of Manhattan set about
the business of welcoming in the
new year with. prohibition agents
looking on to see, that no liquor,
or even cracked ice, was served them
Prohibition Administrator Maurice
Campbell assigned two agents to each
night club and warned proprietors
that infractions of the law would be
dealt with tonight just like any other
night. He also called to their at
tention a recent federal court de-
cision which held that furnishing
guests with accessories to drinking
with knowledge that they were to
be used with liquor was ground for
padlocking.
Police also, although the predic-
ton was made at headquarters that
it would be quiet new years, took
extra precautions to preserve order.
Commissioner Warren said that the
8 o'clock curfew law was in effect
tonight as well as last night and
tomorrow night and patrollnen were
ordered to report any later cloSings.
1t was estimated that 100000 per-
sens would spend at least $1,OOO,OOO
before morning in the various well
come celebrations to the new year
In contrast to the noisy celebraGSHns
of the cabaretts and night clubs
many of the citys churches held
special services, and thousands o.
other residents stayed at home to
celerate the occasion in small gather,
ings of friends or in listening to new
years programs over the radio.

BUSINESS PULSE FIRM, INSISTS
PRESIDENT OF LEVY BROTHERS,
LIMITING GOOD YEAR IN TRADE

Consequently the choice to the con-
Sumer is easier and the dealer may
offer the maximum of choice with the
minimum of lines carried, compared to
the old days.
\ Ladies grow more discriminating
yearly. They are showing commend
able tendency in their choice for they
are.-inSisting on the popular price gar
ment. do not mean the cheap gar
ment but the one carrying real quality
at fair price. Mems demands also
are on q higher level than formerly
That is evident when one sees men on
the street; they are better dressed
then ever, averages considered.
''Our lines, covering as they do, all
the needs for raiment that the human
knows, being all lines of apparel, shoes,
luggage, ETC., gets our thumb pretty
close to the business pulse, we think
1t is from that pulse that I have ar
rived at the statements made Upon
them we base the view that the future
looms clear and promising. Why?
well, copper prices offer the first
reason. Good now, better coming, the
indication. Livestock prices have been
good for a year and there are better
conditions ahead. New people are
coming. We know that because we
operate charge account service and
almost every day we meet a new ar
rival in that way. The business situa-
ton in Douglas pleases us very much
We are happy to start the New Year
here with friends who have been gen
erous with their patronage and we as
sure them at the opening of the New
Year that Levy Bros. will strive earn
estly during the year to meet its full
obligation in helping to make Douglas
a trade center attractive because of its |
goods quality, courteous service and
advantageous prices"
II Levy Bros have been backing their
belief about good year ahead by
starting work of remodeling that will
cause many changes in the big store
before it has been completed. Just
now the work is going forward in the
mems and the shoe department.
TheALevy store employees steadily
from 25 to 80 people in the sales de-
partment.

ART DEPARTMENT TO
BE ADDED TO HOSIERY
SHOP BY NEW OWNER

Announcement is made that effec-
tive January Mrs. Charles T. SOM
mer will take over the complete
management of the Hosiery Shop, at
555 10th street. Mrs. Sommer, who
has been a resident OF Douglas for
the past ten years is well known
here for her ability as an artist doing
much work in hand painting silks and
other art work
The Hosiery Shop will now have
an art department which will spe-
cialize in unique designs and unusual
finishes. A complete line OF hosiery
will be carried at all times and
specialtieS OF various sorts will be
stocked.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-01

In the modern organization of busi-
ness, the department store may well
be defined as one of the principal
nerve centers of the community S
business activities 1t follows, perforce,
that the contacts which the depart
ment store makes with the buying pub
lie afford it excellent opportunity to
make fairly accurate diagnosis of the
present business health of the terri
tory in which it operates as well as a
prognosis of the probable trend of that
health in the immediate future. 1t
was with view of securing the results
of his study that The Dispatch asked
Jake Levy, president of Levy Bros, to
tell how the year which ended yester-
day had treated his firm and with
what view they looked into the future.
Business for Levy Bros. has been
good. Levy Bros view of the future
is bright" said the merchant Dur
ing the last two weeks, intermingled
with our Christmas rush, we have been
taking occasional moments to check
over the years business results. We
have also been adjusting our business
sights and looking into the future.
Both activities have brought resulting
ISatisfactions for we have found the
years achievements better than we
had anticipated when the5-year is
viewed as whole, and we could hard.
;ly paint a. more promising future than
we have glimpsed. s 4
'It would not be correct for me to-
leave the impression that we have set
up new high records in the last year
because we have not. What am try
ing to impress is that the year has
been one of satisfactory totals. 1t
has, too, been one in which there was
about similar margins of increase in
totals in our several departments.
There have been no lame duck depart
ments, if you will allow me to use that,
figuratively.
There have been some things toI
overcome that were not experienced
in former years. For example, COM
petition has been somewhat sharper
But after all, competition is good
trade tonic for it unlimbers the need
for best methods in order to conserve
a margin Of profit and to present those
trade appeals that bring the buyers
to your store. And so we have noI
complaint, even from that angle.
Through Standardization of ideas,
business is on better basis than ever
and buyers are getting more than for
their dollar There are fewer lines but
more quality in the lines offered Study
has made it possible for the makers,
using the same materials, by the
change of a flounce here and there, the
slash in different angles and a twist
of one idea into two or three phases,
to give so much more in style and
appearance than the old methods gave.

Rough COMPANY

The English claim the Americans
are crude and the Americans call
the English slow. Obviously, this
story is told by an American:
"Three Englishmen were crossing the
channel. After 20 minutes of silence,
one of them remarked: 7 think we're
going to have bad weather.
Twenty minutes passed again and
the second replied: No, it will be
fairf a
Twenty minutes later the third
Englishman got up and declared: Tn
going away; I can't bear discussions +"
