 Man and His Pipe
 The smoker, inveterate or occas- ional will be pleased by gifts of pipes, obtainable from soc to $12.50. You have often heard smokers say that any old pipe is swell-after it's broken in. The brotherhood of man is often over-modest and is prone to under-s statement. When that effect be sure he means my pipe is fine-but, while I'd never buy an expensive pipe for mystelf-I wish someone would give me one for Christmas"
 Humidors for cigars, cigarettes and tobacco can be simple or elab- crate as you wish, but will be ap- preciated in any case. We've seen them from $195 to real articles of furniture at $25 to $45.
 Jewelry Gifts, Certainly
 Jewelry for men is another group disclaimed openly by many men but relished in secret. Watch chains, pen-knives, dress studs and cuff links, can be had in a variety of metals, ornamented, or plain, or jeweled with motifs which appeal to the sportsman, the Se-

gifts which few men buy for them- selves.
 Camera, Luggage, etc.
 Optical goods have appeal for men, A good pair of binoculars one of a large choice of cameras the new movie machine for the home are three suggestions for gifts for those who want to invest $25 or more in gift for father.
 Luggage for the man who has to travel is offered in many styles and prices. There are many toilet sets on the market, fitted or made to whatever he wants. Gladstone bags, dress-suit cases, trunks make acceptable gifts.
 Some men may tell you that they prefer to buy their own articles of apparel. Often nothing of any other will please them SO well There is an easy way out of this dilemma. Most stores will be very pleased to sell gift certificates in any amount.

The stores he patronizes are methodical people They must have very complete idea of mems wants in order to fill their shelves that inarticulate man may be satisfied. Therefore, their advertisements, far from being announcements of what the store has for sale, are really clues to what men want to have. And SO are their display windows and counter.
 Sport Needs, Of Course
 The man of sporting tastes offers the easest problem in gift selection. Sweaters, leather jackets, hunting, fishing and golfing togs. and the many special implements of his sport are the immediate suggestion Practically every store in town is offering sporting goods at special prices. We have seen allwool pull over sweaters in the solid color favorites for the low price of $395. Fine suede leather jackets are priced as low as SAYS.

 The lowly calf furnishes more fine skins which come disguised as pocket books, note books, bill-folds, and key-cases, proving that naught but good can come from content ed COWS.
 Purely Personal, Never
 Dressing gowns, smoking jackets, comfortable slippers and perhaps comfortable chair, illuminated by reading lamp and completed by book make an ensemble gift idea that the whole family might chip in to give to dad.
 Pens, pencils, desk lamps, sta- tionery, ornamental blotter pads and desk trays make acceptable gifts to the men whose office is a matter of pride with him.
 This is a razor year. We've never seen such a wide variety of razors offered.ss Many new makes with various systems of blade honing and sharpening are on the market.

No Honor In Crime

II the outlawed element Of society could be given
enough rope it would hang itself undoubtedly. But in the
process it would destroy entirely too many innocent by
ISLANDERS. When one gang makes war upon another, in
the sinister fashion of the underworld, it is sounding a
warning to cemetery sections to get busy. However, these
self-dug graves are always surrounded by slim green
plots of innocent victims.
New evidence of this has come from the Michigan
state prison at Marquette, where three gangsters, foiIed
In an attempt at escape, and one confederate, committed
suicide. The three desperadoes realized that they would
be captured. They twisted Patrick Henry's challenging
words, give me liberty or give me death" to their own
crooked needs. They weren't game enough to meet their
conquerors. So they killed themselves.
But as they started their attempt at freedom they
shot the prison physician. 1t was a cowardly act. Even
gangsters sometimes are better sports than that. The
three men pretended they were ill. They appealed to DR..
"A. w. Hornbogen for medical attention which was grant
ed Immediately. Probably laughing to themselves at their
own cleverness the crooks cold-bloodedly killed the
physician.
Blood thirsty enemies of society can scarcely be call
ed men. They are motivated entirely by beastly motives,
and if another is in their way, he must die. Not because
he has wronged them. Just because he happens to be
there. With so many finer interests in the world it is re-
grettable that society must spend so much of its time and
money in destroying a human element that cannot be con-
trolled in any other fashion. This element must be
stamped out before people will be free to pursue more
pleasant lines of interest.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are all en-
dangered today. More so, because the criminal-minded
have access to the same scientific knowledge that the pro-
The Michigan men were. When they were defeated they
killed themselves rather than face the consequences. A
good old-fashioned scare may not convert a desperate
but it will protect an innocent man sometimes.

Adventure Turns Pro

People who say that adventure died when the gold
rush ended and the telephone and wireless started to
make national hook-up have a dwarfed idea what con-
stitutes a striking enterprise.
The dim, dead past never pinned its hopes on an
Anne and Indy who went flying gaiy around the world.
The colonel and his lady have combined adventure and
romance in a way tat shows what novices the Round
Table knights really were. No other age ever had an
intrepid explorer like Sir George Hubert wilkins who in
sisted on finding a new passage under the Polar ice. New

got ready for the gale of the sea.
After all, Robin Hood never did anything but rob the
rich to feed the poor. Richard the Lion Hearteds big
gest feat was riding a horse to Jerusalem and having a
battle or two on the way. Adventure had an amateur
touch yesterday. Today it has turned professional.
