In spite of superficial appearances. France and Germany can no more unite than can oil and water.

The 1930 Rogers, allâ€"new in construction but backed by a record of five years proven performance and with the only guaranteed Aâ€"C tubes, comes to you with the highest rating earned by any receiving set. ON the evening of Friday, July 12th, the test was made ... . Nine competitive and leading makes, side by side ... All hooked up to the same acrial. ... Same ground connection. Same room . .. All in good working order. All new models . .. And then they were tuned in, bZ means of a multiple switch, one after the other ... to the same station, before a dozen spectators. : c[]iuSt a_few l_mu:s’ test, but one that means years of radio satisfaction to you. ; Svibe fkvfi?::'\‘: Careful record was made of the performance of each, for volume, for "pickâ€"up" (sensitivity), for clearness, for tone. â€" And then they were put to an even more severe test... Each was given a turn of the dial, to record the stations brought in, their volume and clarity. Therewas in that group one Radiothat brought in stations with an unbelievably greater volume and clarity than any of the others . . . â€" that one Radio was the Rogers! When the others were barely audible with their 7/ volume turned on, the 1930 Rogers, in several instances, could be cut down ozeâ€"four/h and every word and note came in clearly. The laboratory test is more severe than any home test. It deals only with cold, comparative results. It asks not that allowances be made for conditions; the time and the place affect all alike. $3.50 $5.00 $§$5.50 L im"® cR i i‘\t&’ P ?“Q?W TRADE MARK REGISTERED IN 1925 Phone 182â€"JUnct. 8553 _ & a Men‘s Wear Store OocCERG vArirs JP o I v { | ,,’7\ * / ’/ kt,/\)"%‘ \{\’/'/’" t $ T:l s M 2 v â€" C td ‘fi"fi" fes , J l”““%\*-'?gi ;m\ 3 eSes 4 Mtile:" fonvoucers dtt ferl 1 1 lfi $ U /m f r.@j['?f‘»';.n,i;‘fl_ Ametapse ‘: t:.\‘, SOLD BY WESTON PRICE find it in its interest to commit its in this direction.

Meanâ€" while the attention of Mr. Bermond, head of the company, is diverted to her and he decides to give her a chance.

Now let the tears come. My baby, I am coming to you! My baby!" 3 She heard his voice wailing and trembling like the vox humana stop the village organist used to pull out for the sake of pathos. It was maudâ€" lin, unforgivably cheap and _ trashy, yet it was theâ€"truth for her, as for millions of other . girls. It was trite because it had broken so many hearts. She felt a fool, a guilty fool. The music, the lights, the director‘s voice â€"all, all was insanity. But it swept her heartstrings with an Aeolian thrill and they sang with a mad despair. But Mem had been schooled all her life to keep her hands down and _ to avoid flourish, to take short _ steps and to keep her waist and hips stolâ€" id. Though the fashions of the ‘day gave her short, loose skirts, no _ corâ€" sets, free arms, she might as well have been handcuffed and hobbled _ and fastened in iron stays, for all the freeâ€" dom she used. j Claymore made her run, with longer and longer stride, bend and touch the floor, fling her arms aloft, take â€" the steps of a Spanish dancer and a Spanâ€" ish vixen.

He threw her downstairs, throttled her, . and chased her about the room. She told me herself that she learned the Decâ€" laration of Independence by heart and spent hours and hours repeating it as glibly as she could. Every time she missed an articulation she went back to the beginning and recited it all over againâ€"hundreds _ and hundreds of times.â€" That‘s how she learned to deâ€" liver great tirades with a breathless rush, yet made every syllable distinct. That‘s how she learned how to charge about the stage like a lioness. "To be a great actress is no easy job. "You‘ve got to work like a fiend or you‘ll get nowhere.

The upshot of this ordeal by. fire was that Mem was recognized as a star yet to be madeâ€"if, indeed, _ her nebulous ambitions should ever be conâ€" densed into solid achievement.

It was quicker than the street car, but it seemed _ far quicker. than < that. They chattered volubly of art theories and practices. They did not realize how long the car stood in front of her bungalow before Mem got out, or how long he waited after she got out, talking, talking, beâ€" fore he bade her the final good night. Theirs was an exceedingly curious method of getting acquainted. Teacher and student became as much involved in each other‘s souls as Abelard and Heloise at their first sessions. Her mother realized it, peering through the curtains, and Leva exâ€" claimed. ~ She met Tom Holby on the lot one day.He had been asked to come over and talk of a possible contract with the Bermond Company. He greeted Mem with effusive enthusiasm, and she warmed at the pride of his recogâ€" nition.

She‘ll get on!" _ _ y One day when a little scene was beâ€" ing filmed in which Mem _ was the only actress, the best of the company being excused for a change of cosâ€" tume, a visitor from overseas was brought upon the set, a great French general. _ _ $y The publicity man suggested that the general might like to be photoâ€" graphed on the scene. He laughed and came forward with a boyish eagerâ€" ness. When the picture appeared in newspaper supplements about the world it was statd, in each of the capâ€" tions that the great warrior had said, "Remember Steddon is the prettiest girl in America." $ _ More amazing yet, Mem first learnâ€" ed of this astounding tribute from her astounded father. The news came in a letter from the man Mem and her mother loved and dreaded. As Mrs. Steddon‘s fingers opened the envelope in the awkwardâ€" ness of guilt, two pictures fell to the floor. They were in the brown rotoâ€" gravure of the Sunday supplements and presented Mem standing at the side of the French general. Both statâ€" ed that he had called this promising member of the: Bermond â€" Company "the prettiest girl in America." Mem and her. _mother_ gathered themselves together as if they â€" had been dazed by a rip of lightning from the blue and waited for the thunderâ€" bolt to smash the world about them. They ‘read .the letter together. It beâ€" gan without any "Dear Wife" or "Dear Daughter." It began: The inclosed clippings were sent to me by members of my congregation who were sojourning, one in â€"New York and one in Chicago. It is hard for me to doubt the witness of my eyes, but it is almost harder to beâ€" lieve that the wife of my bosom and the daughter reared in the shelter of our home could have fallen so low so suddenly. Before I write more I want to hear the truth from both of you, if you can and will tell it. The Reverend Doctor Steddon was something more than a father to his daughter, something more than a husband to his wife; he was also the high priest of their religion. But Mrs. Steddon had grown up with her husband and had seen his tempers goad him to too many misâ€" takes. She was merely angry at him now for a burst of wrath, while Mem cowered before him as an inspired prophet. _ e h _â€"Finally, in a fine frenzy she went to her table and wrote her husband an answer to his letter: Dear Husbandâ€"I am ashamed of you for writing sutch a mean little note. Yes, I am proud to say that my daughter is an actress and is doing fine work. If you are not proud of her it is because you don‘t know enough to be.

Do you know that the Lord‘s Day Alliance, with the coâ€"operation of the Trades and Labor Council, was largeâ€" ly instrumental in the passing of this law in 1906, and that the legislation was introduced because of the judgâ€" ment of the Privy Council in 1903, the Provinces have no power to enact Sunday Legislation ? isnn Do you know that the Lord‘s Day Act deals with one question only, the weekly rest day, that it does not dicâ€" tate as to how Sunday is to be used either for religion or for recreation ?
