Cooped with him in his elevator cage /Senators by their words or lack of words have revealed themselves to Watts in a most intimate fashion. This experience has taught Watts many things useful to him in his job but none of more importance than fjt knowing when to speak and when not to speak to the Senator he is Carrying lip or down in the elevator.

Maria Esther I’arreo, 20, is Mexico's prettiest girl, and as such is representing Iter country > an international beauty pageant in Galveston, Texas. She lives at l’achuru, Hidalgo, in the central part of Mexico, and was chosen in competition with senoritas from every province. minute. He never talked to anybody.” Senator Gillett, Republican, of Massachusetts, is the only Senator who rides in Watts’ elevator who doesn't avail himself of the instant service by ringing three times. “The I Senator says what is good enough j for the public is good enough for | him,” Watts explained. Senator Underwood, Democrat, of i

Alabama, is the most generous man In the Senate, Watts has found. Ten dollar tips are nothing unusual from him. Senator McLean, Republican, pf Connecticut, Is also more than ordinarily generous to Watts, he •says. But all the Senators are generous to him a Christmas, with cash gifts of from $lO to S2O from each. The elevator man’s wage is $l2O a month. Watts thinks there hasn't ever been a man in the Senate more kind and considerate than former President Harding. “Every day at noon.” he related, •‘Mrs. Harding would drive here in her electric car. The Senator would notify another operator and myself and the three of us would join Mrs. Harding out in tho car, and there eat sandwiches Mrs. Harding had brought. We all sat there together and ate our lunch. Senate Pet Because of his long service here, Watts has long been one of the pets of the Senators. Senator Lodge took him up to his home on the bay and fished with him, and Senator Shipstead. Republican. Minnesota, finds Watts a most agreeable companion

for a fishing trip down tho Potomac. Watts thinks the funr/est thing that has happened to him during the work here was the time he tried to | get President Coolidge, at that time | the Vice President, a Job. “Every morning for more than a j year I used to see a rather small man standing out here in the cor- , vidor, smoking a cigar, and looking 1 as if he were out of a job and try- ; ing to get up enough courage to atop a Senator and ask him for one. “So one day I went to see A1 Warner, the superintendent fn | charge over here, to see if I couldn’t get him to do something for the man In the corridor. A1 got in the , elevator with me as I went to an- j swer a bell, and the man I wanted j to get a job for stepped in. I pointed 1 him out to Af, and A1 has never got over joking me about it.” DIVORCED BY PRAYER SAN FRANCISCO.

She used to pray that he'd let hei go back to bed, she said.

DOWNSTAIRS AYRES ~COOP MERCHANDISE M AYRES SERVICE M LOW PRICES " SATURDAY SALES!

Why Is a Downstairs Store? Why does a store dealing in merchandise of merit operate an underprice Downstairs Store ? There are several reasons. The motive hack of the project is, of course, to increase both service and volume —to appeal to a larger clientele. The percentage of profit is •erv small, and the Downstairs Store relies therefore on a rapid turnover. Expenses are cut to a minimum. Here at Ayres we think of the Downstairs Store as different from most under-selling sections. We know it is different. The quality and style value of its offerings is on a higher plane, and the whole division adheres closely to the ideals of service and fairness that have made the success of the store as a whole.
