Ask Your Doctor About
Genuine BAYER Aspirin

Any person who suffers from pains
of rheumatism should know this:
Two genuine BAYER ASPIRIN
tablets, taken with a full glass of
water, will usually ease even severe
rheumatic pains in a remarkably
short time.
Ask your doctor about this. He
will probably tell you there is moth
ing better. For real Bayer Aspirin
tablets not only offer a potent
analgesic (pain reliever), but start
going to work almost instantly you
take them. Note illustration of

Try this simple way. You'll be
surprised at how quickly pain eases.

for it by its full name, 'Bayer

AUTO SHOW DRAWS
RECORD CROWDS
Attendance for First Two
Days Double That of
Last Year. .

Washington's Seventeenth Annual
Automobile Show settled down to a
week-long run today following a week
end that saw large crowds file through
Calvert Exhibit Hall to view the new
cars.
Attendance for the first two days
was estimated at twice that for the
same period last year by r. j. Muir
ply, manager Of the Washington Au-
tomotive Trade Association, which is
sponsoring the exhibit.
The turnout of prospective custom
ers led Murphy to reiterate his pre-
diction that the last two months of
1896 would send the Capitals auto
mobile sales for the year far beyond
the total for last year.
Basing his prediction on the prob
able sale of 5000 passenger cars during
the remainder of the year, Murphy
estimated the 1886 sales would exceed
$4,000. as compared with 28,539 sold
in 1895.
Prior to last year 1881 was the big
gest year in Washington's automobile
business, 23,l cars having been sold.
In 1882 the sales dropped to 1892,
but in the following two years they
climbed-the total being: 1933-14,-
367; 1934-18,433.
The exhibit hall, located at 2701
Calvert street, will be open through
Saturday from II am. to II pm.

GREENVILLE. Del. November 16.-
It's to be a small wedding'-the
ceremony that joins two of the Ma
tion's best known families, the Roose-
velts and the Du Points.
Miss Ethel du Pont, blond and II,
made that plain yesterday as she re-
ceived "best wishes" on her engage
ment to Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr.,
22-year-old son of the President.
While the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene du Pont said she didn't know
when the wedding would take place,
friends indicated it probably would
be next June.
The ceremony will take place in
Christ Episcopal Church at Cnristiana
Hundred. Eugene du Pont is one OF
many members of the famed indus
trial family that have attended the
church founded there SO years ago by
Col. Henry A. du Pont; many of the
family have been christened there;
several married there.

gown of black chiffon with q wide red

II haven't any idea where we will
live after the wedding" she said. as
the three white diamonds of her en-
gagement ring flashed against their
platinum setting.
"I do think there has been too much
said about 1t already. We hope to
live quietly again since the formal
announcement was made"
I'VE have known each other a long
time" Roosevelt remarked. "Almos,
three years, you know.
II haven't decided what I will dc
after I graduate. I guess most col.
lege seniors are undecided unless
they're taking special courses.
Won't Go Into Politics.
II can tell you one thing, though
positively will not go into politics
The engagement had been reported
as prospective even during the recent
political campaign, when several oi
the Du Points were identified with tht
Liberty League opposition to the
Presidents reelection. Eugene du
Pont, unlike his cousins, Lammot

part in politics, however. He is q
