"What ! think
about the vogu
for Sterling!
WHAT has established this growing vogue
for Sterling for the matched table service of Sterling
for the new decorative uses of Sterling?
Are there more smart brides? Or established homes
broadening out?
Is it because the generation of young married
women Sterling generaton?" Or, have older
suddenly grown tired of their lastcentury tables of mis-
mated, miscellaneous silverware?
Has matched table Sterling become an emblem of
and good taste? Or it that such Sterling
makes a table obviously more beautiful?
Again, learning that complete matched
Sterling service does really much they
estimate? Or, have stied their Sterling ambitions
because pece-bypiece acquisition is slow? And
has the Guild Purchase Plan which sets table with
matched Sterling for as small an initial outlay as s25
enabled quicker realization?

LACK Of SIGNS
FREES DRIVER

FALLS CHURCH, Va, Dec. S.
The absence Of adequate warning
signs at the approaches to the
dangerous curve on the Lee High
way at the west end Of Falls
Church resulted in the dismissal
Of reckless driving charges placed
against Robert White, colored. Of
Washington, driver Of a car owned
by T. H. Matthews, Of Washing
ton, which crashed against a tele-
phone pole at the curve.
The crash happened within a
few feet Of the spot where Mrs.
e. w. Converse, Of Washington.
and C. M. Drake, Of Kansas City.
were killed a few weeks ago.
Efforts are being made by the
Falls Church town council to have
danger signs erected by the State
road officials. The State win also
be urged to fill in the deep
bitches that line the road at this
point. The recent occurrence Of
several bad accidents is held to
be adequate evidence that greater
precautions are Immediately
necessary to prevent further
casualties y

BUSINESSTREFD
SHOWS GAIN

Signs Of q distinctly improved
business trend are found BY vii
liam Montgomery, president Of
the Acacia Mutual Life Associa-
ton. in the latest figures covering
the organizations nationwide
network Of branches. These fig.
ures, made available at the home
office, First Street and Indiana
Avenue Northwest, are viewed as
an impressive indication that an
upward swing has begun.
President Montgomery is par.
ticularly gratified at the con-
tinued favorable trend in rein
statements for a rigid conserya-
ton policy has been an Acacia
watchword for more than IS
years. During the month Of
November, figures for which have
just been compiled, reinstatements
totaled more than $500, 900,
while the aggregate Of lapses
dropped off approximately ST..
100000 as compared with Octo-
Der. This development, in the
opinion Of President Montgomery,
is Of outstanding significance In
revealing a firmer business trend
and, second, in the operation Of
.Acacia's unSwerving policy with
regard to conservation.
Further, during November q
net gain of approximately ST.
100000 was recorded, bringing the
total insurance in force at this
time to approximately $357, ,000.0 900
the greatest In the history Of
Acacia. Also, assets as Of this
period stand at $39, 100000 as
compared with $50, 100000 for
this same time q year ago.
Reports from Acacia's various
branches throughout the country
indicate that gradual business
betterment Is taking place which,
it Is confidently believed. viii be
maintained throughout the winter
months.

IMPROVES

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j.. Dec. 5.
Constantly increasing hazards
have proven no deterrent TO the
steady progress Of accident pre-
vention in the United States, ac-
cording to r. w. A. Fitzsimmcns.
Of Detroit. president Of the Michi-
gan Mutual Liability Company.
Speaking before the annual
convention OF the National ASsO-
citation Of Mutual Casualty Com
panies here today, Mr.. Fitzsim-
mons outlined the continued ad-
vance Of the national safety pro.
gram in the face Of rapid indus
trial expansion which has COM
plicated the problems OF the
safety expert.
'In all fields Of endeavOr
there, are always handicaps.
The good golfer, entering q
match, is handed q nice big
handicap, frequently one that
gives less worthy opponent 3 4
chance to win.
"The scientist and the en-
gtneeE must have considered the
safety man q mighty good
golfer, for they have handed
out . good big handicap at
every contest.
They have speeded up ma
chimes and processes, intro
duced piece work and mass pro.
ductiOn. High speed steel has
changed many q machine like
the lathe, the miller and the
drill press from . moderately
nOnhazardOus machine to d
dangerous one; new processes
are generally fraught with new
and more severe hazards to
life and limb. It seems that We
mo longer find q way to reduce i
or eliminate q hazard then
new danger arises TO take its
place."
These facts notwithstanding,
however, the work Of the safety
man has shown steady progress,
Mr.. FitZSimmonS said.

GHOST |NvADES
DANCE HALL

LONDON. Dec. s UNSJ.-A
ghost walked through a dance
hall here, said an orchestra con-
ductor. He collapsed at the ap-
partition.
It was at a ball at Covent Gar
den. Herman Darewski, the con-
ductor, said he saw his drummer
stop playing and stare. transfixed
across the hall. Darewski looked,
and out Of the wall walked a ne
bulous ghostly figure. Out over
the heads Of the dancers the eerie
thing floated.
It shaped itself in the eyes of
Darewski into an armed, helm
eted figure-the figure Of Sieg.
fried, hero grandson Of Wotan,
who in Wagner's opera awakens
fair Bruenhilde from q fire-en-
circled bed.
The conductors baton stopped
and the music ceased as he fell
into a chair. At that moment the
ghost vanished.
Two other members Of the or
chestra said they too saw the
ghost, but the dancers who
crowded around had not.
There Is a legend that Covent
Garden Theater is haunted, but
usually the apparition Is that Of
the famous playwright Sheridan.
IL is said.
