Competition is the mptivutiiifr principle of progress. In every (ield of human activity the desire to do better gives the urge t; new accomplishments. This is an age of record-smashing, the on form of smashing: that is constructive and not destructive. Before we have fairly comprehended the significance of a new record "hung up" it is put into the shadow by a better one, or we hnvi turned our attention to efforts to eclipse it. This it seems will be the case with the cross-continent flight record made by Lieuts. .Oakley Kfillcy and and John A. Aiacroady. ; Many hve tried to accomplish the feat that has brought fame to these young mi!n and which we may be sure now will be dupli cated soon and frequently. From ocean to ocean without stopping if, n practical achievement, for above the preliminary distance tes( at Dayton that demonstrated the aviators' capacity for sustained flight. Well might they rest on the laurels earned. But they wil' not. Hardly had they stepped from the T-2 at San Diego than they were planning a more ambitious effort a flight around the world. And others announced they would strive to cut the ocean-to-oceun time in two. Some time the limit of aiiplane power will be reached; we do not know how close to that point we are. But, while all Americans join in the President's cordial congratulations to the present record makers, not one but looks Toward to the greater achievement yet to 1)0 credited to Kelley and Macready or some honorable com petitors in flight. .

In the 'Irst case, the paint saves the sur- .uce, in the second, it serves the ucc. An air service sunnlv comimnv bor rowed II coffee ad which reads like this : Our parachutes are kooiI to .he last drop." It's a funny thine: that a lot of u woman's good punts consist of :urves.

When it comes to hills we vivp no sioric credit for havinir the limit- jst. At a sale of rare stamps in Paris one issued in 1847 by the is land of 'Mauritius brought 122,000 francs, which, as the present rate of exchange, is the equivalent of about $8,000. Vastly highoi , prices have been fotchod by stamps prized by collectors, but the sum paid for this specimen, will not be despised.' It commandec po large a figure only becauso persons have permitted their hobhj to oveiride their soundness of judgment. . Hobbles are a good .thing. ,,Tlip..nwn pr, wpm.i'.n, who has.v pursuit; outside of the regular or necessnry daily task, which if followed not for pecuniary gain or other benefits of like charactei but solely for the pleasure that is derived from it, has a form oi recreution that, if wisely chosen, may be productive of great good Everylwdy should have a hobby. But care should be taken not to ehoosn a hobby that may be unduly expensive or one that requires more time than one can af ford to give. The best sort of hobby is one that will take the mint! s far as possible from the daily work. Refreshment of mind and Inwly. should be the main consideration. The office worker wil' derive most satisfaction from something that will take him oul of dooi-s; he manual laborer will profit most by resting his body and diverting his mind. , Dual Ad antage of Ads It is nil riirht for a Drill's clothes o be called "stuniunir or ' shock ill,' but it is well tc. draw the line it "ripping-' One eternal triimulo that no long er appears in our niiilst, is eat, drink inn bo merry.

THAT'S our idea about it We're not just a private organization to make money. We're really here to give the public the best clothes that money can buy at the lowest possible prices. Thats our first duty If we really fulfill it we dont need to worry about profit that will take care of itself. Right now when all prices' are mov ing upwards we're striving to absorb the increases. So is Hart Schaff per Marx It means greater value for you. - It rneans greater volume for the mak ers -and for us. ClWhe The profits in advertisements are not alone with the advertis er. He pays for the space used and profits by the fact that they are rend by the subscribers to the paper, customers are informed as to the wares mentioned and attracted to bis place of business They are direct messages sent by the advertiser to the reader ol the paper, when the message is not received then the advertisement loses its worth. There must be two parties in this to make it prof itable for either. The profit which accrues to the receiver or readers of adver tisements are many. In the first place time is saved by ascertain ing where and when to buy either necessities or luxuries, where t find the kind of amusement desired. Secondly the profit comes t the readers when they, by receiving the message, are enabled tr know what price is charged and should be paid for certain commodities. When advertising ceases to pay the reader as well as the ad vertiser, then there will Iki no more advertisements printed.
