Here’s the point: clothes are costing
more and more each week. These fall
and winter goods we’re offering at re-
duced prices would cost us much more
to duplicate now—next fall they’ll be
worth still more.
You can make some big divi-
dends by investing in clothes now.

what we paid for the goods—not what

WITH THF AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Thursday, Fob. 7--Amerl-
can artillery and infantry have BuCe
ceoded in cleaning out a majority of
the enipers who caused considerable
annoyance from the time tho sector
was taken over by the troops. Snipers
poste in buildings have been destroyed
by knocking down the shelters with
shells. Snipers hidden in bushes or
in shell holes have been routed by
American sharpshooters- Night pa-
trols have succeeded in locating some
of the positions and the Germans in
them have been finished off later.
Last night a small patrol entered
an advanced German trench in search
of a nest of snipers. A lieutenant, a
corporal and two men left the Amer*
lean wire and returned five hours
later. They walked across No Man's
Iand, picking their way carefully to
avoid discovery. Reaching the enemy
wire they crawled beneath it cautious-
ly and approached the most advanced
enemy trench. The men looked down
Into the trench, which apparently was
abandoned, but they were sure snipers
were there. They dropped down noise-
lessly and found a place where the
trench bottom showed frosh footprints-
On tho parapet the oorporal discov-
ered a rifle. loaded and pointed in the
direction of the American trenches-
There was not a German around.
The corporal brought back the rifle
to the American lines. It is a typical
German weapon, made in Berlin and
In good condition.
At another point enemy snipers were
discovered in a shell holo. A few well
placed shots from Hght artillery ended
their career. At afzher place a hall
of machine gun bullets was effective
One, two or possibly three snipers'
posts are still in front of th® Ameri-
can positions, but they are not likely
to be there long- -----

an eerie charm reminding one of a
naughty elf, a "certain something"
about her that can not be quite defined.
Perhaps you don’t like her, more prob-
ably you adore her and would fight
and bleed for her. Anyway, she is her-
self and no one else in the world—just
Mao Marsh!
Mae Marsh is the whim girl of the
films. She seems to do everything just
because it comes into her head to do
it. Probably there is a reason for it
Who knows when the wind will blow-
or why? Yet it does, and doubtless
there is a good reason for that, too,
if the weather man would only tell us
the truth about it. The funny part of
it is that she expresses nothing ac-
cording to the old accepted rules. She
has invented her own technique, or
else hasn’t any at all, according to the
way you look at it. Nobody knows ex-
actly which solution is right and that
is one reason why she is such a mys-
tery girl. Anyone else does set things
to express set emotions. Mae Marsh
holds up one finger, and it may mean
not joy, but despair. And people uner-
stand her, because she is just herself.
With other people it would be arti-
ficial. With her it is just as natural
l os the air she breathes.

of a Nation," and "Intolerance," is here
