Guard's Death Bares Tragedy
: Washington, Aug. 22. Filed with
the ' health department here is the
registration of the death of an ob
scure old man. Embodied in that cer
tificate is a story of tragedy; of un
fulfilled romance, of a blighted life
and of more tragedy. ,
The man was William T. Ayers,
for the greater part of his life a
guard in the United States Capitol.
No one knew of Ayres or his life
and no one cared. A grim-faced,
white-haired old man, he went silent
ly about his daily duties. No com
plaints were ever registered against
his work, but no one ever took the
trouble to look into it. He had no
friends, and he ma'de no effort to
acquire any.
"Ayres is a silent old man," finally
said his superiors at the Capitol.
And with that they dismissed him.
Dies with Pneumonia
Out of work and with no friend
to go to, the old man gave up in his
final struggle with life, and at the
age of 79, succumbed to pneumonia.
Then from his home town came the
story of his life.
For forty years ' Ayres had been
professor of Latin at DePauw Uni
versity, Greencastle, Indiana. Of
giant intellect, a master in his field,
his was the most familiar face on
the campus.
But even then, at the height of
bis career, life to Ayres was an

empty shell. Stark tragedy already
had seared his heart. During his
college days at the same university
where he later became one of tha
most respected members of the facul
ty, the great Latin scholar became
enamored with a beautiful girl at
tending the , school They became
engaged.
Buried in Trousseau
; Then, shortly before the wedding
day, the girl fell sick and died. She
was buried on her wedding day in
her bridal trousseau and Ayres'
hopes and dreams were shattered.-
Ayres became a recluse. He never
married. Several years later, he ac
cepted the chair of Latin at DePauw,
remaining there for forty years.
Ageing even taiore rapidly 'than
most men, Ayres two years ago came
to the final turning point , in his
life. Too old to teach and without
funds, the old man sacrificed his
pride in ' the altar of necessity and
appeal to benator JamesHi. Wat
son, of Indiana, one of jhis former
pupils, for aid. -. ' . .
Senator Watson secured his old
teacher; a place on the Capitol
Guard. There the old man lived
out the last two years of his life,
guiding sightseers through the build
ing, running errands for irritable
young Congressmen and - doing the
thousand and one onerous odd jobs
incident to his position.
If a man is wedded to art.he is
apt to find the dowry unsatisfactory.

v Clothes have it all
O matter how stylish a suit is, if it
isn't the style you want, you don't
want it r
Men's, tastes difFer; and we take
these differences into account when
we buy clothes for you
You may prefer the loose, easy
model called the "English" type. It
isn't very English but it's very smart
with that "well dressed" lock. Or you
may like the snug, soft draped style
j
or the closer fitting models for very-,
young men ' - ,
You may have definite preferences
as to lapels, buttons, the drape of the -coat,
the cut of the trousers. AH these
things are included in Style! Young
men who know what they want and
can describe it; older men who know
what they want and can't describe it;
men who know what they don't want;
all men can find the right style here
