Adv. TO UNDERSTAND," thice repeat J.N ed Anton Tepavcevich in Cir cuit Judge Morrow's court yesterday. when Deputy County Clerk Mozoroskyi undertook to swear the Serbian "as a witness in his suit for damages - for personal injuries against the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. It appeared that Tepavcevich did not un derstand the English language and one of his countrymen in the court room was pressed into service as an interpreter. The direct examination of the plain tiff was conducted through the in terpreter and Frank J. Lonergan, at torney for the railway company, had asked a number of questions of Tepav cevich on cross-examination when he suspected that the witness really knew more about English language than he pretended.

"Tony and 1 are going to get along all right." The interpreter was forwith dis missed and the further questioning of the witness was conducted in plain English.

Manufacturer Opens Distributing Store Here In keeping with the trend of the times to eliminate waste in the han dling of merchandise by getting the producer and- consumer together and avoiding the jobbers' commissions and excess profits, which materially add to the cost of the goods but do not In crease their value, the P. S. Wick Com pany, of North St. Paul, Minn., have opened a retail store in this city at No. 427 Washington street. This per mits the purchase practically from the man that makes the goods of the world-famous Wick Pianos. The store will be known as the Wakefield Music Company, from Mr. C. Guy Wakefield, who has represented the factory in the capacity of state agent since April, 1915. When asked today of the prospects for" business. Mr. Wakefield said in part: "We figure the quality of our pianos will very soon make us a splendid business, regard less of the mater of price. The people of the Northwest have become more musical since I entered the business a few numbers down Washington street 17 years ago. I don't believe anyone actually wants a cheap piano. We are acting on that assumption and believe quality will win. "As to price, we appeal to the pur chaser's common sense. He knows that everyone that handles the piano must have his share. By selling direct from the factory and financing the business with S per cent of Eastern money makes a surprising difference. Then, further, some firms spend $100 to sell a piano for 1150. We belteve in selling quality first; the price is a secondary consideration. Music lovers are invited to call and are promised a treat in the piano and a surprise in the price."
