 BARGAINS

The Brunswick RaGio Company recently got into financial troubles and couldn't meet their obligations in full. Their trouble was that they had made too many Radios and they had lots of good merchandise but not enough Money. To make a long story short. their Creditors closed in and made them throw these Radios on the Market for about Half Price and that is why we are writing this advertisement
 They wired us from Chicago and wanted to know if we could take a few and the prices and values look ed so good, we decided to take a flew samples and look them over They are the very latest 1892 models with all the most modern improve ments and all in all the most as- tonishing values in the world to- day Tube for tube they are no better nor no worse than any other radio of their class. Any radio me- chanic will tell you that all the various makes are almost exactly alike mechanically and in fact the parts in a lot of them will inter- change as they are made in the same plant. This is so because the radio manufacturers have an agree ment to exchange patents and inn provements with each other, but the one who invents an improve ment gets royalty from the others that use it. Most of the companies make only their own cabinets and assemble the machines to fit. In these they make minor differences but the basic qualities are the same in the same grade machines. The big diff ference between companies is that some have better selling and ad- vertising organizations than others but their claims for superior tone and distance tests are regarded by nearly all radio mechanics as a lot lof hooey The above is true for bthe better class radios. Most of the mail-order bargain radios have rough, unfinished parts and are skimped everywhere possible. But they bring it in sometimes fairly lgood and usually the owner isn't much of a judge. 4s'o
 We have strung this ad out farth- Ter than we intended and will close pby saying as brifely as possible that we have a latest model Brunswick seven-tube photograph combination usually selling for $f50.0O, now yours for $875o. Also a seven tube ex- quisite low-boy floor model usually selling for $9s.5o, now yours for $60.00. Also a cabin model complete with tubes and long-life batteries usually selling for $87.50, now yours for $47.50. You should hurry if Eyou want one of these as the sale is necessarily limited to the stock Ion hand Among the better class radios the best one for you is the one that gives you the best deal for lyour money and here it is. In this we have brought to you a big town bargain; come and see it.

THOMAS GIVEN
 1 TO IA YEARS

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 18.- Pale, nervous and with one hand tightly gripping the railing of the jury box to steady himself, Elliott B.. Thomas, former Superintendent of Schools of Redondo Beach, stood before Superior Judge William Tell Aggeler and heard himself sen- fenced to term of from one to fourteen years in San Quentin Prison for forgery of school salary warrants.
 The man who staged one of the strangsst Kidnapping hoaxes in local crime annals, seemed greatly re- lieyed at the sentence, for Judge Aggeler ruled that the sentence, one to fourteen years on two counts, should be served consec- utiyely. This would make the min- mum prison term one year in- stead of two, and the maximum | fourteen years instead of twentv- eight years.
 Immediately after sentence had been pronounced, a smile spread across the former schol officials face.

GEN. DAWES DEFINITELY RETIRES.

The announcement of Gen. Charles Gates Dawes that he has definitely retired from politics and will never again be active in that line is important Gen. Dawes is a public of very high-class He was capable bold and effective He had mind of his own and the courage to. use, it. His approval to problems was honest and clear minded.
 Gen. Dawes rendered splendid service to his country and he better than when he rebuked United States Senators for trying to dis credit the President and the American conduct Of the World War. He made political enemies by it, enemies that probably thwarted his ambition, if he had it. to become President He had the personality and ability and popularity that might have carried him to the highest office in the land if he had played his cards skilfuly other politicians played He a politician in low mean ing of that term.
 Gen. Dawes never would truckle to the Anti Saloon League and it's insidious machinations among other things and that effective organization was against him Little did he what it or anyone else thought of him. He did what he thought was right regardless of results to himself
 May Gen. Dawes live long and happily, a private citizen if he wills it. but if it should be otherwise, if he should again be called into the public service and yield to the call, he will serve well and, it is hoped, happily.

Jazz and the Jungle.
(New York Herald Tribune.)


 When the Secretary of the Aborigines- Protection Board of Australia recently commented on the ad- diction of the native blacks to Western jazz he reporting only what is everywhere the normal reac- tion of the Negro to our national cacophones In this respect the Zulu or the Hottentot does not differ from the Negro of Harlem Mobile Those who have Martin Johnsons latest movie of Africa will recall how naturally the Congo pygmies fell into the rhythm of popular tunes. After all, jazz came out of the jungle, and when it goes home in it's dress the natives speedily recognize it. as their own If they prefer it to the crude measures to which the drum restricts them, it is only because they lack the technique and the instr mentS which have made possible the full Towering of their musical impulses in this country.
 Those blacks whose ancestors at some distant time made their way the Indian Ocean and Into the Western Pacific exception to the rule Like the Australian bushman the Negrito pygmy of the Philippines and the native of Melan- esa will respond almost automatically to the charms of jazz. saxophone turned loose in sleeping Papuan village would probably set the whole tribe to dancing in atavstic ecstasies For jazz flows in the very blood of Negroes, truly as Scotchmans pulse quckens to the skirl of the pipes or a Spaniard's heart leaps to the click of castanets wherever they may be on the face of the globe.

Beer Revenue.
Cincinnati Enquirer )

-.
 The Investment Bankers Associations Commit tee on Federal Taxation has reported to the Asso- ciations Convention, in session at White Sulphur Springs, Va. that the legaization of beer at the coming short session of Congress might bring in S754,000000 annually in taxes to the Government. The report declares that tax up to 40 cents a gallon could readily be levied without increasing the price to point where booteggers could successfully compete with legal manufacturer
 The committee reported also that tax on legal beer should equal 75 per cent. of the entire income tax collected by the Government for the fiscal year 1852 The report pointed out that such tax would represent a voluntary payment constituting a burden only on those who chose to be subject to it. It is It's conclusion that such taxation would serve to establish the proper diversion of the funds now going into the hands of bootleggers and the channels controlled by them.
 It is to be believed that the sentiment of a majority Of the people is in agreement with the findings and suggestions of this unit of practical and hard-headed business men. They could not so conclude unless cold economic facts so influenced their judgment.
