Opposition voiced by veterans' or
panizations other than the American
Legion to the proposed gift of $5,000,
000 to the Legion by the Knights of
Columbus for the purpose of erecting
a national memorial in Washington is
eaosing the K. of C. great concern.
The protest by some Veterans of
Foreign Wars and the national presi?
dent of the Private Soldiers' and
Sailors' Legion is declared by Supreme
Knight Jamos A. Flaherty to be due
?o a misapprehension.
"fn offering the $5,000,000 memorial
building to the American Legion." he
said yesterday, "the Knights are simply
maintaining their traditional policy of
?everybody welcome and everything
free.' All bon? fide veterans' organiza?
tions will be accommodated with
Washington headquarters in this build?
ing. That is one of the terms of the
gift. The Legion, being the largest
end most generally constituted organi?
zation, is clearly the logical recipient."
The Legior.'s national executive com
: :V.ee wa? te have met in Indianapolis
last Monday to pass on the proposed
giff. but their meeting has been post?
poned until January.

What Is Shoe
Value?
Shoe values are determined
by the dividends they pay
their wearers, in style,
comfort and economy. The
wearers of Dr. Reed Cush?
ion Shoes know that when
they buy these shoes they
are getting the utmost in
shoe value.
Economy is vouched for by
the quality of the materials
in the Dr. Reed Cushion
Shoe, none but the best
being used in their manu?
facture. Style is easily de?
termined by an inspection
of our windows. As to com?
fort, the felt and cork
cushion sole is demonstrat?
ing to thousands daily just
what comfort in a shoe
means.
If value is your criterion
Dr. Reed Cushion Shoes
will be your next.

Girl Divorce Witness l
Makes Eyes at Judge |
Mary Dowers, formerly employed as
a maid by Mrs. Emeretta I. Tilley, made
eyes at the judge and jury yesterday
in the Supreme Court at White Plains,
where Henry H. Tilley's action for
divorce against her former employer is
being tried for the second time.
She did so at the direction of the
court. She had testified that she had
seen Mrs. Tilley make, funny eyes at
Clarence Dugan, who was named as co?
respondent in the ?mit, when he was
her guest at dinner. Mr. Dugan, ehe
said, was so near-sighted that he never
noticed the funny eyes.
"Now show the jury just how she
made those eyes," directed Justice
Morschauser.
The witness bent her head and
glanced at the jury, at the same time '
compressing her lips until five distinct
dimples twinkled in her cheeks and
j chin.
"Now she me, personally," ordered
' the court.
The young woman unlimbered her
dimples and glances at Justice
Morschauser, who scrutinized the per?
formance for a moment and remarked:
"I think that is making faces."

announce that recent shipments
of furs from their Northern trad?

selection.
Prices on these new skins and
garments have been readjusted
to accord with late market

World wide contact with the
great fur markets and the hand?

very moderate cost.
After months of inactivity, due to
labor troubles, our workrooms

72,000 are a lot of shirts?probably the greatest individual
purchase of shirts by a retail store.
* * *
The entire stock of the Griffon plant.,at Glens Falls, New
York?a factory whose reputation as a builder of quality
shirts is known throughout the nation.
* * *
What their loss is, we may only estimate. But we know
that our margin of profit is nowhere near the profit de*
manded by profitable merchandising.

This was a condition laid down by the makers?the final
concession which we made in order to secure the purchase.

72,000 shirts to be sold simultaneously in the two stores at
prices that are
?Less than wholesale.
?Less than the aeual cost of production.
?Exceptional even when measured by pre-war
standards.

The quality is what we must stress. We know of no shirt
maker in America who is such rf stickler for it. Quality of
fabric ; quality of workmanship. The least expensive grades
made with the same care and precision that go into the
top notchers of the line.

Most shirt makers do not do this?and we mean most good
makers too.

Only the choicest and finest quality materials. Only new
and distinctive patterns.
Such broad assortments as we believe no other shirt sale in
this country has boasted.
The fabrics
are carefully selected, as.
the finest quality in its
class. This is assured in
wearing a shirt of Griffon
make.
The patterns
are new, individual and
exclusive, and the color?

This, too, is assured in
wearing a .Griffon shirt.
The cut
is full and in many re?
spects the shirts are equal
to custom made gar?
ments.
Finishing Touches
The pleated or French
down the front are faced
with strong non-stretch?
ing material.
The shoulders are well
tailored. The collar bands
are smooth and firm.
The cuffs meet evenly
and comfortably, and are
the right size and depth.
The buttons are of fine
pearl and securely sewed.
The selection
offered is tremendous.
The sizes
