These little fur capes are about
the smartest thing fashion has to offer
in the way of an early autumn wrap.
AS winter comes on they will be worn
over the collarless cloth coat which
thus multiplies their practically by

1t is not only that such varied types
of fur are employed in their styling,

these youthful-looking capes is so

their intrigue. Perhaps if one were
called upon to cite one fur as being
more generally in use than another

its rich, fruity taste and it quickly
drives away those distressing all

And Thus A Story

It happened in a dentists Of
flee. Impatiently we're my stick
and I awaiting the time of our
appointment. I was thumbing
copies of the old magazines usu-
ally found on the waiting room
table. The night before I had
glanced through who's Who in
America" and naturally when I
saw in the magazine one of the
names that ] had read about the
night before, l was interested.
and read every word of the
article about him. And thus a
story.
For years I had been hearing
a lot of Robert Vedder Fleming.
1 knew what every one else did
namely that he is president of
the Riggs National Bank. I did
not, however, realize that he be-
came president when he was but
IS years old.
Somehow the notion has always
been with me that bank preSi-
dents were only mentally capable
after they became physically de-
crepit.
The notion has been dispelled
instantly, for not only is Mr..
Fleming a young bank head
even after he has been at the
post almost seven years-but he
is physically active.
Plays Golf Well
His golf game is the envy OF
many members of his club and
he knows baseball from the pro-
verbal "a" to the equally pro-
verbal e."
AS matter of fact he played
baseball at school and college,
and was the pitching ace Of st.
Adams choir when he was hardly
tall enough to look over a pew.
Avidly I read on. I knew that
he had been for many years a
director of banks and big cor
porationS. clubs and associations,
that he was a trustee of George
Washington University, where he
majored in political science and
commercial law.
p I have read of that in Who's
Who"
But the magazine account gave
so much more of the man, SO
much of what a compelling, en-
ergizing person he must be, that
I was more than ever anxious
to meet him.
Though being a depositor at
his bank and thus having the
right, I did not want to force
myself on him during his buster
moments-though person with
so many varied interests can
have few if any moments when
he is not busy. That idea wasn't
a good one. Suddenly I'knew.
ArrangeS To Meet Him
I picked up my stick, and
toothache and all, left the den
lists office for a telephone booth
to call a mutual acquaintance.
Bob Fleming? The finest
man 1 ever knew. A great
sportsman with charming
family which he doesn't neg.
lect in spite Of the fact that
he is buster than that one
armed paper hanger we hear
about. A winning converse
tiOnalist and a varied one.
Knows art and music as well
as his own name, and follows
the sporting world avidly. His
sense of humOr is one of those
rare things you read about.
But this could go on all day.
Why not come out to the house
for dinner, and if he's home
and not doing anything tonight
we'll drop over and you can
meet him yourself"
I needed no second invitation.
Nor did my stick. We left the
telephone and went out to the
street toward my friends house,
early, but expcetantly, like a
child on Christmas morning.

has told them to draw whatever

"WIRED RADIO" SET-UP
ACCOMPLISHED BY SWISS
Service Enables Subscribers to Hear
Broadcasts Without own
ing Sets.

Wired radio" long talked about in
the United States, is an actual accom-
plishment in Switzerland, where a sys-
tenn somewhat like one that prevails in
Holland has been established. Harry E.
Stebbins, assistant American trade
commissioner at Bern, reports to the
Department of Commerce. A switch on
the telephone circuit enables subscribers
in Basel, Bern, Geneva, Zurich. Chur
and Lausanne to listen to Switzerland's
two large broadcasting stations without
owning radio sets.
The broadcasts are picked up at q
central point and sent along the wires
to simple receiver in the home, which
can be operated without interrupting
ordinary use of the telephone The
charge is ESQ francs, about so cents,
per month. With telephone service the
cost runs about S217 per month. The
Swiss telegraph and telephone admins
tration is exploiting this new service
with view to securing more telephone
subscribers.
Advantages claimed for wired ra-
dio" are that it requires no antenna,
receives the two Swiss stations without
static or fading, is free from all extra
neous disturbances, requires no batteries
and can be operated with the usual
volume control. Other cities soon to
secure the service are Lucerne, st. Gall,
Bienne and Often.
