READY-MADE GARMENTS
As this sale starts off our fall's
business, we plan to have a good
showing of the early Coats and Suits.
We have a very good showing of
the new Suits. The Suits this fall
are somewhat different than last sea
son, the Coats being longer and tlu
Skirts having a little more fullness.
At 915.0O we have a fine worsted
Suit that is made of invisible striped
goods. Coat is thirty-two inches long
and skirt has extra fullness around
bottom.
At 918.00 are a number of good
Suits. Models in plain serge and nov
elty goods.
At $1650 is a very good Suit.
This model is made of a wide wale
serge. The style of the coat is high,
turnover military collar finished with
braid, has a good styled skirt with
the fullness at bottom.
In the better grade Suits, ranging
In price from $20 to $40 we can
give you some exceptional models. In
these models you will find some Suits
that are entirely different, the stylo
and weave of the goods will give the
tone and character to the Suit.
LADIES' GOATS
Our early showing of Coats is the
best we have ever shown so early in J
the season. The weather is surely
such as to create a strong demand for
the medium weight Coat, and even the
heavy Coats seem to be taking ex-
ceptionally well for automobile use. T
We are showing a large line of the X
Misses' Junior Coats. These are the
Coats that fit the small women and J
come in a style that is as good as
any of the ladies' models. The Junior T
Coat is a coat that is become to be Z
of greater demand than the Misses'
Coats. T
This line of coats we carry in 2
prices from $8.50 to 916-50- They
come in the plain kersies and mixtures. J
At $12 50 are some extremely good
models.
Our early showing of Misses' Coats X
is the largest and best we have ever
had. Here is a line of very popular
Coats at prices that will appeal to
you as the best you have seen at the
price. Do not "wait until you are
ready to use the Coat but come in
and look over the line.
Now is a good time to buy a Beacon Bathrobe Blanket while you can get the pick of what we consider by far

SYRIA'S HUGE MONOLITH.
Largest Stone Ever Quarried Is a Relio
of Antiquity.
One of tbe most interesting proofs of
tbv wonderful civilization of tbe an
rtents is afforded by tbe great slab of
itone at Baalbec, In Syria. Tbls bugs
monolith Is sixty-ctDe feet long, four
teen feet broad and seventeen feet in
depth. It is said to be tbe largest piece
of stone ever quarried and its estimat
ed weight is 1,500 tons.
It is thought by archaeological schol
ar that tbls huge stone was Intended
by tbe ancient builders to adorn tbe
Temple of the Sun near by now, of
course, in ruins. Here in one of tbe
walls which still stand are to be seen
huge slabs of stone, wbicb careful
measurements show to be sixty-three
feet long and thirteen feet high.
And, more remarkable still, tbey are
placed in position nineteen feet above
the ground level. Moreover, although
no sign of any cementing mixture is to
be found in these ancient buildings.
tbe stones bare been squared and pol
ished so evenly that only after tbe
most minute search can the Joints be
found and when traced it is Impossible

A standard weight must of course,
be assumed for tbe great games. A
discus now In tbe British museum,
which seems to bave been used, weighs
11 pounds 9 ounces, but whether tbls
was tbe standard weight or not is not
definitely known.
Tbe thrower took bis stand npon a
slight elevation of limited circumfer
ence, where be could bave a secure
foothold and was prevented from run
ning. Then, with a swing of tbe arm
and a corresponding movement of the
whole body, be hurled tbe discus aa
far as possible.
Tbe value of tbe body movement
was recognized by tbe sculptor Myorn
in his famous statue, "The Discobo
lus," and is understood by the modern
athlete wben be swings tbe hammer or
even when be makes a drive at golf. ,
