Clearance Sale of

Such price reducing is nothing short of wonderful is it? Beyond
that its unprecedented and unmatchable, considering the season. It
er.courages immediate buying as no suit offerings ever did.
Encourages" we say, more than that, it demands or compels
buying. Savings of one half on a stylish, seasonable, and needed suit
is far too unusual to resist.
No thrifty, prudent woman whose wardrobe has room for one of
these suits will attempt to resist such opportunities. And we expect
many women will take two or three or even a half a dozen.

(Scrlpps News Association)
Washington. Dec. 6 The second an
nual convention of the National Rivers
and Harbors Association opened here to
day. Delegates from every state in the
Union were in attendance. The objects of
of the association are to impress on Con
grass the great sentiment which has
arisen in favor of increased and regular
river and harbor appropriations and busi
ness men representing commercial bodies,
river improvement associations, maritime
exchanges. Chamber of Commerce and
other organized bodies spoke on the sub
ject.
Cannon Burton spoke today. The con
vention seeks fifty millions from the gov
ernment to improve the nation's water
ways. Ransdall reported, after a t enty
thousand mile tour, that ha found th
sentiment of the people in favor of a gen

remedy for the wholly inadequate ser
vices furnished by the railroads.
President Harvey Coulder. in address
ing the River and Harbor Congress, said
the improvement to be wisely effectivi
should be made under the direction of the
Army engineers. Congressman Burton
said that the committee wae fair in mak
ing appropriations that more than twenty
millions at present was needed annually,
but there must be a public sentiment
created before more would be recom
mended and told the delegates not to
bring forward any proposition calling for
an issue of bonds.

compelled him to arrise and remain
standing while the indictments wsre read
saying. "The defendants in this case
stand in no different position than would
John Jones or William Smith." Ruef
smiled thruout the reading while Mayor
Schmitz stood like a man in a dream. A
lengthy argument followed, on the ques

perm.tted the case to go over until next

(Scrlpps News Association)
Washington. Dec. 6. After stirring
the country and giving the exciteabl
ones food for expressions of w?r, the
cloud of nineteen six will roll away and
leave only a rumbling of court cases in
California. Officials most concerned re
gard the rumors of war and the argu
ments and false alarms, only as a tempest
in a tea pot. Many do not consider the
justification for the talk they cause, to
say nothing of the serious talk by mem
bers of congress about the states' rights.
Those having views like the President's
on the Japan situation, think they could
have appeased tne Japs by a less ad
vanced declaration.
