I Burglars Don’t Seek The Limelight DARKNESS is their stock in trade. They work by 2 stealth—unheard and unseen —their movements cloaked in secrecy. It’s honest folks that seek the light. They are the only ones who can risk it. It’s the same way in business. The manufacturer or the merchant who is not sure of his goods does not dare to advertise. Advertising would hasten the end of his _ business career—put him to a test he could not meet. The man who advertises, deliberately invites your inH spection. He tells you about his product or his merchandise and then lets it stand on its own merits. You can depend on him. He knows his product is good. That’s one reason why it pays you to read the adver- || tisements you find in the columns of this paper. It is ft through advertising that you are able to keep in touch with the good things that progressive business men are gj spending their money to introduce and to keep before | you. Advertisements are interesting, instructive and prof--11 itable. They throw a powerful light on the very things * a that concern you most. Read them.

TRIES TO TRACE ARMY SLANG

“Doughboy,” "I’ll Tell the World” and "Out of Luck,” "Old Stuff,” New Yorker Says. — If the American “doughboy” who started “I’ll tell the world” as a characteristic expression of the A. E. F. took pride in having coined a new expression he was “out of luck,” according to Henry Dwight, Yonkers, N. Y., who has been trying to trace army slang to its source. In relating his uncertain success and asking the assistance of the demobilized world at large, Mr. Dwight declares that each of the three supposed innovations is time-worn. Referring to the expressions quoted above, he claims that General Custer, the Indian fighter, used “doughboy” in letters to his wife, and that Arthur Young, writer and traveler, announced himself as being “out of luck” when hunting for mail at Dijon, France, in ■ t 1789. “I’ll tell the world” remains untraced. It is thought to be very old and verification of this belief is now sought. fe Carrying On With the | American Legion Government controlled Institutions are schooling 90,000 former service men and are directed by the veterans’ | bureau. • • « “Legion Park,” named after the local post in Bucyrus, 0., contains a tree In memory of the unknown dead In the war. • « • Abraham Krotoshinsky, the “Loat Battalion” messenger who was cited for his deed, has gone to Palestine to accept an offered farm. • • » A building worth $25000 and a pledge for SIO,OOO for Its renovation have been given Lee C.

HOW TO WEAR ’EM Chicago, Feb. 11—Gloshes—if they go flippity-flop, boys, It’s all right to smile and try to got her ’phone number, but if they're laced up, well mind your own business, for she's engaged. This in the newest of the code of Northwestern University, where, it is said, diamond rings are passe and goloshes, opened or buckled, are telling the story that heretofore has radiated from a solitaire. While the maidens with their goloshes unbuckled tire "free-booters" in the Held of love, even those who turn 'em down a la Captain Kidd deny that they will vamp the beaux of another girl. How the fastened golosh came to be a mark of fidelity to a man, according to the story, originated when one youth attending Northwestern requested his fianee to button ’em up.
