At Last! A Magazine that is different! When you look at*the multitude of periodicals on the news stands these days they are so much alike that it is difficult to make a selection. There is one, however, that is different. A magazine that is new to the public, but as old in its purpose as the impulse of the first man who gathered a library for himself. Instead of being built from the untried and untested writings of the moment, it is built from the tried and te&ted of all times. It is composed of the best stories of all the world, the best writers—the stories that have lived. Some of them are by masters of the past, some by the masters of today.

ZOO’S ELEPHANT DOES CHARLESTON Half-Ton Lens Swing to Orchestra Music. Bu United Press . MABRID, Feb. 12.—Even ’elephants take to the Charleston. Recently in the Madrid zoo, while a nearby orchestra was playing a snappy tune, it was noticed that the biggest elephant demonstrated signs of uneasiness. Finally, the pachyderm sniffed repeatedly, agitating his trunk up and down with extraordinary speed, lifted one of its half-ton legs, then another, stopped, listened, and after hesitating again, could not refrain any longer. He brought his two front legs near each other in scissorlike movement gave a little half-inch hop, followed by a touch of trunk shaking and a slight upward movement of the back, and made a complete step. Another elephant came round to watch the new dance —but evidently thought it was too complicated and retreated to a safe corner, howling protests. When the music stopped, Bimbo, tired of such unusual work, trotted gently toward the water tank for a drink.

Stormy Career of Minister Closes Bu United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—1n a small church near his home at Bedford Village, the final chapter will be written tomorrow in the tempestuous history of the Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, militant modernist of the Protestant Episcopal Church, who died here yesterday. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a. m. tomorrow in St. Mathews Protestant Episcopal Church, near the late churchman’s country home. During his thirty-one years as rector of the Church of the Ascension, Dr. Grant was in almost continual conflict with higher church officials, particularly with the Rt. Rev. William T. Manning, Episcopal bishop of New York. Most of his trouble arose from championing what he considered the rights of other people, but in one notable conflict the cause was his desire to marry the twice-di-vorced Mrs. Rita De Acosta Lydig. He announced his engagement to her in 1918, but because of Bishop Manning’s ultimatum that he would have to leave the ministry if he married her, the marriage never took place. Primitive Russians place a certificate of character in a dead person’s hand, to be given to St. Peter at the gates of heaven.

POSTAL STATION BUYJSSNAGGED Purchase of Illinois St. Station Disapproved. United States postal authorities have declined to approve the purchase of the Illinois St. substation building, according to a special dispatch to The Times from Washington. Tho original recommendation, made several weeks ago, proposed purchase of the statiori with a saving of about $127,740 a year. Rent paid at present by the postal department is $66,000 a year. Other Government offices pay $26,430. The cutting in half of the $200,000,000 public appropriations bill by Congress made it necessary to strike many cities off the list, the Indianapolis project being included, It is understood. The local appropriation asked $1,250,000 for the purchase. Estimates for eliminated cities may be given soon, it was explained In a report made by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, to be covered in a second appropriation of $100,000,000. The local purchase would then be possible. Only three floors of the building here are used under the present arrangement, the plan being to use all six floors in the event the building is bought, Fostmaster Robert 11. Bryson declared. FORD STOCK VALUE HIT Government Counsel Asserts SIO,OOO to $12,500 Figures Too High. * 'Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Ford automobile stock, now held in the family of the billionaire, Henry Ford, was pictured today by Alexander W. Gregg, solicitor of the Internal Revenue Bureau, In tho $36,000,000 Couzen's tax appeal case, as worth more than $2,500 to $6,500 a share in 1913. Addressing the United States Boar! of Tax Appeals in opening the Government’s side of the fa“mous case, Gregg said auto stocks in those days were “speculative” and recounted a series of factors which he said reacted to cheapen the Ford stock value. Gregg said he would prove the SIO,OOO to $12,500 stock valuation made by pxperts for Couzens and his associates was too high. If Gregg’s contention is sustained, the Michigan Senator and his associates will be subject to between $15,000,000 and $36,000,000 additional taxes.
