LOWEST PRICE EBB
Our prices on all Spring and Summer goods have now reached the very lowest ehh. The values we offer now
mean a hig savinq in real money for you. Lots of Summer is yet before you , but we must sacrifice
these goods now , in order to make room for our Fall goods which are already arriving.
THE GOLDENROD IS
BLOOMING
And goldenrod means that fall is near.
But in spite of Nature’s clever warnings, we know that
the Summer has yet a long time to run. It is not yet on the
wing.
So it would not be amiss to purchase cool, light mate*
rials for inexpensive little dresses; especially if these mate
rials are so much reduced as to make a dress cost not half
what it would have earlier in the Summer.

Have You Ever
Noticed
What a vast difference a
frame makes in a picture?
How one frame brings out
all the light and color
while another kills the
warmth and renders it al
most colorless?
That is why an expert
picture framer must be an
artist, and it is why we
have had such phenomenal
success in that depart
ment.
Bring your pictures to
White’s. The picture fram
ing department on the sec
ond floor is yours to com

v'ce may always be had.

Political and Industrial Unrest,
Added to Rigid Demands By

Berlin.— Political and a certain amount
of industrial unrest, added to the rigid
demands of the cpnsor have hit the
moving picture business In Germany a
‘blow that has proved a knockout to hun
• d'.-eds of hitherto prosperous concerns.
theatres and the film factories allka
have been hard hit. The strike of the
producers against the new police cen
sorship fee of 25 cents for every 29
metres of film manufactured, Is still
going on. but it is acknowledged that
several manufacturers are evading the
strike agreement by having their pro
ducts censored through the theatre-own
ers, so that they need not appear in the
i matter themselves.
At the moment the Indications are
Fthat the film manufacturers will finally
cave In and pay the tax out of their di
minishing profits, a sort of compromise
by compulsion. Meanwhile the cinema
tograph theatres are beginning to close
their doors under the strain of the In
creased t axetion combined with declin
ing patronage. Some of these estabdsh-
Iments In Berlin pay as much as 25,090
dollars a year In the form of the munlcl
psl "amusement" tax. The newer and

given up) most of the theatres could not

of the largest foreign film making firms
operating In Berlin haa halved lta prices
at a stroke.

INTERESTING COMPETITION I
SOON FOR PROFESSIONAL
AND AMATEUR GOLFERS
New York—Next week professional
and amateur golfers will have an in
teresting competition on the links of
the Midlothian Country Club, Blue
Island, Ills., in the four days* open
Champoinship tournament of the
United States Golf Association. Last
year this event was decided over the
course of the Country Club, Brook
line, Mass., and its sensational end
ing in a victory for Francis Ouimet,
a young Massachusetts player over
Harry Vardon and Edward Ray, a
pair of Great BBrltain’s leading pro
fessionals, in the play off of a three
cornered tie, will always be ranked
as a star performance in American
golf annals The trio had tied with
scores of 304 for 72 holes, but in the
play off, the following day, over 18
holes, Ouimet put up a wonderfully
strong game, winning out with a
round of 72 strokes, while Vardon and
Ray finished as named with 77 and
7S respectively. This year, howevar,
the event will not have an interna
tional flavor as no foreign entries
have been received and Interest will
be centered in Ouimet’s efforts to
retain the “open” title which he so
cleverly won from the strongest and
most representative field of golfer*
that ever gathered on an American
golf links. Although he waa unsuc
cessful In fils attempt for British
amateur champoinship honors in his
recent trip to Europe, Ouimet brought
the French amateur honor home with
hmi and since his return he has been
taking excellent care of himself. He
did not enter the Metropolitan open
tournament as 'ne was anxious to re
serve all his playing energy to make
a supreme effort In the coming tour
ney to successfully defend his well
won national laurels.

FRENCH FOREIGN
EEGION GOSSIP
Germans Say 111 Things Con
cerning It---Subject a Delicate
One to Touch.
Paris.—There has been of late much
discussion as to the real character of
the famous French Foreign Legion.
The subject Is a delicate one to touch
The Germans say all manner of 111 of
it, and In this way they are not left
behind by the short story writers of
the popular magazines In London. On
the other hand the French themselves
say that the soldiers of the Foreign
Legion are well treated and repel with
Indignation charges to the contrary.
My own Impression, after going into
the matter Is that a confusion is mado
between the Foreign legion and the
"coropagnles do discipline" In North
Africa. These cornpagnles are for the
incorrigible ones, the rascals, the
Apaches, the ex-crlmlnals. The discip
line Is terribly severe, but it appears
there Is no help for It. The old tor
tures however, have long since dis
appeared. I have the figures of the
Foreign Legion for the past ten years
before me. In that period there have
been 22,588 voluntary engagements, of
which 4,924 were of German national
ity. Of these 22.588 men, <1,420 at the
expiration of their time, renewed their
engagement, which they surely would
not have done If their existence had
teen intolerable. During the ten
years, 2,152 soldiers of the Legion
sought French naturalization, among
them being 651) of German national
ity.
BAYB 15,000 LOBB.

WAR CAUSES BOXING
HALT IN EUROPE
New .York.—Boxing throughout
Europo is at a standstill owing to thd
war and the knights of the glove
have exchanged: their padded
weapons for those of a tar more dan
gerous character. In France alone
several score of the professional
boxers are serving with the army the
most illustrouß evample being
Georges Carpeutier. The recent ring
victories of the Freight middleweight
over both Bombardier Weils anil
Gunboat Smith caused European crit
ics to .predict world’s championship
honors for Corpentler. Hhould he he
killed or injured in action his loss
woudl he keenly felt in pugilistic cir
cles for even the English ring author
ities predict a promising career for
him as can be seen from the follow
ing extract from a review of his bout
with Smith:
"Though the result of the boxing
between Carpentler and Gunboat
Smith was very unsatisfactory from
one point of view, there Is very little
doubt that If the contest had contin
ued Carpentler would either have won
easily on points or would have fin
ished his man before the tenth round.
The Frenchman hail science, pace,
and precision, and all of them hail
been improved since he last appeared,
With qualities such as these, he was
easily able to deal with a man whose
cnlef assets were strength and en
durance. The rapier will nearly al
ways win against the broadsword.
We shall always look forward to see
lng Carientler In the ring again. His
fierce vitality, his swift Intelligence,
his flaming courage, present a com
bination of some of the Unest quali
ties which boxing lias ever evolved
in tls best exponents."

AMATEUR SPORTS

Striking Illustration of Inter

European Conflict’s Effect.
New York.—A striking Illustration
of tee international character of ama
teur sport is afforded by the sltua
tiojj that has developed as a result
of the war in Eurotpe. Early In the
Beason there was every reason lor
the belief that 1914 would he the

even years.
On this side of the Atlantic the
America’s cup race is Die most lot
portent event to he cancelled, but
other competitions will lose the for
eign entries that were expected. The
amateur and open golf championships
and the national tennis tournament
will be without foreign entrants since
even the Davis cup teams now 1n this
country plan to leave for home as
soon us the challenge round Is com
pleted. Abroad the Harms worth mo

aviation races at Rheime sre off as
well as all Die various national cham
poltwhlps of the European countries.
The result of the war from an ath
letic and sporting standpoint may lie
greater for It la likely to upset events
scheduled for several years to come
The Bonder boat races at Kiel In 1915
and the Olympic games at Berlin in
1916 sre no longer assured fixtures.

and abroad realize that If the present

“MOVIES” LEAD SOUTH SEA
NATIVES TO COMMIT

London.— Moving picture shows are
demoralizing the South Be* natives,
breaking up their old peaceful cua

a returned traveler from that port of
the world.
Although the average islander Is
lazy, good natured and peace loving,
he Ih not far removed front the days
of savagery. Of an exeltabls and em
ottonal nature, he is earrlsd away by
the dramatic films exhibited by pro
moters. An islander will pawn bis
last possession, says tha traveler, to
see a picture show.
A recent case occurred in ths Sa
moan Islands whers three natives, one
a former policemen, stole revolvers
and started out to Imitate a hold-up
scene. They set upon a European
plantation manager and Ills assistant
and Shot both dead toy resisting. The
murders were followed by battles with
the natives with the result that two of
