His office is located in a remote-corner of the top floor of the gloomy, huge, yellowish Smolny Institute. Trotsky was manifestly overworked ar.d extremely nervous. He consent ed to the interview only after being as sured of the interest of the American i people in the fate of the Russian i revolution and the liberty of the Rus sian people. Throughout the interview he main tained his usual tone of revolutionary pride and his fond hope that the democracies and peoples of the world ulitmately will come to the aid of Rus sia in her desperate struggle to achieve a democratic peace »and reach the road of powerful development.

Here’s the story in a “nut shell” You’ve probably heard that woolen prices are advancing, so you naturally ask, “If that’s so, how can Hart Schaffner & Marx all-wool clothes be sold for less than regular prices?” Each year at the end of the regular selling sea sons we find a number of garments still on hand; they were bought to sell during that season, so we make it a point of selling them in order to make room for new goods. And we reduce prices to clear these suits in a hurry. Because woolens are advancing so rapidly, these Hart Schaffner & Marx suits are w'onh more now than they were a few months ago; they’ll be worth more next year. But we can’t hold them over; we haven’t the room. ■ That’s rhe whole story and here are the prices. S4O Suits $30.00 $35 Suits $26.25 S3O Suits $22.50 S2O Suits $15.00 W. D.
