It commenced to rain soon afterwards and by the time Deep Creek was reached it was pouring. Ten minutes' fishing under these conditions was so dampening that the last spark of enthusiasm was extinguished and the long climb back to camp was made, the rain turning Mr. Dealer Please let us explain why we sold six hundred Robinola Talking Machines from our office at retail within a short time.

PROTEST "NO PARKING" ORDINANCE Washington Music Merchants Declare Rule Would Drive Away Much of Their Trade Washington, D. C, November 4. — Local music dealers are much wrought up over the proposed order of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to prohibit the parking of automobiles in the business section. Music dealers point out that the proposed order would drive away the out-of-town trade that the business men of Washington have tried so hard to persuade to come to the city and would materially hamper them in building up trade in residential sections, where there are neighborhood music stores. It is pointed out that if a person is compelled to park a half mile or more from the downtown stores the neighborhood establishments are likely to profit materially from the fact that customers can drive right up to their doors and park for an indefinite period. Protests against the proposed regulations are descending upon the Commissioners in a flood and it is probable that the action actually taken will be considerably less severe than was originally suggested.
