: New List of Victor ,
Dance Records Out
j Ten fox trot numbers with two
waltz selections make up the Victor
! dance offerings for March,
j "Bow-wow Blues,” played by
i Original Dixieland Jazz Band, is a
| homeopathic dose for tired spirits,
j while “Railroad Blues,” by the Bcn
■ son Orchestra of Chicago, has all the
thrills attending the departure of a (
big K-2 pulling out with a string of
11 Pullmans behind her.
Every dancer knows of the Green
Brothers, and among the March Vic
tor Records is the first by their Mel
lorimba Orchestra. “Smilin’ ” is a
moderately slow fox trot with the
tremolo of the marimbas "carrying”
against the smooth harmonies of tHe
bowed instruments. On the reverse
All Star Trio and Their Orchestra
play "Somewhere in Naples,” a brisk
medley fox trot introducing that
beautiful Neapolitan street song,
“Maria, Mari,” which makes an as
tonishingly fine fox trot strain.
Again in March the Whitemans
make two Victor records all their
own. “Southland” is a fox trot based
on American folk or negro tunes,
worked into a brilliant-colored patch
work. On the reverse they play,
“They Call It Dancing,” from Irving
Berlin’s Music Box Revue, introduc
ing “Schoolliouse Blues”—a brisk
number with interesting effects and
combinations.
The cabaret fox trotter uses 30 or
more steps, but they’re practically
all combinations of two simple ones.
Regardless of variations anyone can't
help dancing to two fox trots by
Club Royal Orchestra on a new Vic
tor. Record for March. “Wimmin”
bursts in with a bang, like “one of
them'’ with something to tell. “Good
Bye Shanghai,’’ a medley fox trot on
the other side has Celestial rhythms
and “one-string fiddle” effects rem
iniscent of the Far East and China
town.
Just by way of a change on the
program are two fine, slow waltz
numbers among the March Victor
dance records. “When Shall We Meet
Again," by Hackel-Berge Orchestra
is smooth, with a gentle, flowing
counterplay of melody between
strings and wood-winds. Again on
this record we have Green Brothers’
Mellorimba Orchestra in “By the Old
Ohio Shore.”
It's a great privilege to be able to
dance to the music of Paul White
man's Orchestra wherever you are.
Therefore in March the Whiteman’s
make a second fox trot record. “On
the ’Gin, ’Gin, ’Ginny Shore” is a
vivid number, with a strain of “Car
ry Me Back to Old Virginny.” The
second dance on this record, “Marie,"
is brilliant and fantastic with beau
tiful sax melodies, and some tricky
effects between the cornets and
traps.—Adv.

SHOULD THE CITY BUY
THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING?
QUESTION FOR CITY COUNCIL
Will Be Taken Up at Special Meet- !
ing of City Government Next Mon- !
day Evening — Matter of Buying |
Motor Ladder Truck for Fire De- |
partment to Be Considered at Ses- !
•ion
The advisability of the City of Au- 1
gusta purchasing the municipal j
building from the Augusta City
Building Co., and the Question of
buying a city service motor ladder
truck for the fire department equip
ment are matters which are sched
uled to come before a special meet
ing of the City Council to be held at
7.SO next Monday evening at City
hall.
Since the recent fire at City hall ;
there has been considerable agitation |
that the city should do something !
towards taking over the building as
provided in the contract made be
tween the City and the City Building
Co. in 1893 when the building was
erected by the latter corporation.
The insurance examiners recently es
tablished the sound value of the
building as risipg $70,000 while under
the terms of the contract made be
tween the Building company and the
City the valuation of $53,000 was
placed on the building. Vnder the
contract the City pays four per cent,
of the $53,000 valuation, or $2200 each
year as rent and has the privilege of
paying in such sums as desired on
the principal which would reduce
the rent in proportion and go to
wards the butfng of the building.
Since this contract has been-in ex
istence no payments have been made
on the principal, which sums would
reduce the interest due each year
and also enable the City to acquire
an equity in the building. It is felt
by some that the City should take
advantage of this provision in the
contract and make a beginning to
wards taking over the building; and
further that the C'ity should have
commenced years ago paying $3000 or
so e year on the principal so that it
would today own the building.
On the other hand, the feeling 1 as I
been expressed that from a business !
standpoint the City would not gain i
anything by purchasing the building
at the present ratj of interest which I
would be charged in the open mar- j
ket on loans or bonds in view of the j
fact that under the terms ofj the con - !
tract the Augusta City Building Co. j
gets only four per cent, on its monev I
fo rthe City's use of all th eofTiccs, [
thetnuditorium. etc. in the hall. I'ur- j

A word of caution to the prud
ent man. The clamor for cheap
clothes has become a reality
but with this realization will
come disappointment because a
cheap price produces only an
inferior product, which means
disappointment and extrava
gance. One good hand tailored
suit with an extra pair of trou
sers will keep you well dressed
for a year or longer.
A CHEAP suit of clothes
can not maintain its deception
of more than a month or so. Tt
soon loses its style. Its ironed
on shape is gone in no time.
The collar pulls away from the
neck; the coat sags; the trou
sers flop around your legs. It
is—just a cheap suit, and the
world knows it.
GOOD clothes have their
goodness built into them. Their
shape is abiding. A year from
today they are still good
clothe*.
Whether you buy Kahn
clothes or not, if you really
mean to practice economy—
BUY GOOD CLOTHES.
The new Spring line is sim
ply a wonder. It shows refine
ment and real “pep.” It con
tains a beautiful line of pure
wool fabrics at $35. The finer
grades at equally reasonable
prices.

ther, that assuming the City paid
this money for the building by small
payments each year, it would still
have to reckon interest at the rate
charged in the open market inasmuch
as the City is now cbliged to secure
temporary loans In anticipation of
taxes and the payuents made an
nually towards the purchase of the
building, should the City take it
over, would necessitate heavier loans
or a higher tax.
The present officers of the City
Building company which owns City
hall are. President, William H. Gan
nett; treasurer, Wilbert S. Wilson;
directors—Frank G. Farrington,
Percy V. Hill, Fred G. Kinsman, Guy
O. Vickery,. William G. Boothby,
Charles E. Sturtevant and William
H. Gannett. Charles L. Andrews is
clerk of the Board of Directors.
The other matter to come before
the city government at Monday eve
ning's meeting is the question of
purchasing a city service motor lad
der truck for the City Fire depart
ment. Speaking of this matter yes
terday, Chief Boy Small of the Fire
department pointed out that the
present truck has been in existence
-0 years and that the ladders in the
equipment are now unsafe. There
are 11 ladders, the longest of which
is 45 feet/ Chief Small stated that
the youngest of the horses is now It!
years old and that it is a crime to
make the horses of that age pound
over the Augusta streets to the fires.
That there are many fires where
it is necessary to have the ladders
with not a minute's delay. Chief
Small pointed out. This, of course,
is possible only by motor trucks. In
the event of a possible fire at City
hall with a crowd of people in the
building, without the ladders on the
spot instantly it would be necessary
to carry the lines of hose up the
stairway. With the crowd coming
down the stairs blocked by the line
of hose, it is very easy to imagine a
panic condition. In any fire on Wa
ter street the chances are that lad
ders would be needed instantly.
In view of the fact that the present
ladder equipment is old and unsafe
and must necessarily be replaced,
Chief Small advises the purchase of
a city service truck. The equipment
of a truck of this type consists of 325
feet of ladders. The longest is 65
feet, the next 50 feet and the third,
40 feet. So there are two sizes larg
er than in the present iadder equip
ment of the Augusta department. In
cluded in the motor truck equipment
are 700 feet of two and one-half inch
hose, one 40-gallon chemical tank,
200 feet of chemical hose, chemical
apparatus, axes, crowbars, etc. The
cost of one of these trucks is about
59000.
Evangelistic Services
At Alliance Church
Miss Mildred Allen of Brockton, a
young people's evangelist is giving]
some extremely fine messages at the j
services of the Christian and Mis- ;

taken from John 15-16, in which she
explained, how God had a program

Healed Eczema
"Eczema broke ont in small pim

It became itchy and burned

which broke and left the

several salves and oint

relief. I was advised by a

using three cakes of Cuticura Soap
and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
I was completely healed.” (Signed)
