You 11 pay a little more
for Hart Schaffner &
Marx clothes than for the
ordinary stuff; its an advan
tage, not a disadvantage.
You get more value in them than the ordi
nary clothes; all wool fabrics, fine tailoring,
best style.
You want value in these
things, not just clothes.

Says Code Wasn't Morse's.
Tho Mors« cod.**, I»y which mes_
satii's arc flashed over telegraph
wires throughout the world. was
not the invention of Canine! F. H.
Morse, hut was of Irish origin,
being the ohi Gaelic dot and dash
alphabet in use as early as 1150,
was a statement made recently hy
Prof. James M<»nev before the
Archaeological Sociely of Wash
ington at its meeting in the Na
tional Museum.
The dcclaral ion stirred up a
heated contl oversy. Prof. Money
said the (iaelic alphahet, or the
Ogem system, as it was known,
was actually the hasis of the so
called Morse code. lie insisted
that his contention was fully
liiiriii' out hy the records of the
ancient Irish people as found in
-tone adn carving's.
"There were se\e||lccn h'ltel'S
in 111(ia<dic alphahet." he de
clared. "and I hey began with one
dash, then from live dashes down
lo one da>h. and then began the
dot*, very much the same as Hie
Morse alphabet us»>d in lelrg
rapliy."
It costs you toss to slop at
*'Tl.e Cliff" than it does to rent
and heal a cabin, and you have
a nice warm, cle'an room to dress
in. No fires or cares at ail to
allend to.
