Clever Display
There is no limit to ingenuity in advertising these days. By way of attracting attention to one of the latest popular melodies, a Dundee dealer has arranged a clever display in his shop window. An amiable old lady is depicted slumbering beside her fireside and every inch has been used to supply "atmosphere". She has an old fashioned gramophone and big tea caddies, while a brass clock hangs on the wall. As a final touch a copy of the "People's Journal" rests up on her lap.
Revival Campaign
The revival and healing campaign conducted by the Principal G. Jeffrey's at the Caird Hall, Dundee has now entered upon its last week, Principal Jeffrey's welcomes all suffering from any bodily infliction to come forward for healing and some wonderful cures have been effected. There is no doubt that the remarkable revival will have a lasting effect upon his hearers.
Penson Return To Tannadice
Dundee United have secured the services of Frank Penson, their left-back for another season. This signing completes the popular Tannadice defence of - McIntosh, Taylor and Penson.
Dearer Bread in Dundee
Dundee housewives had to pay more for their bread, but less for their coal on Monday. Coal is down by 25 per ton and 2d per mett (168lb), while the price of bread has increased by ½d on the quartern loaf. It is hardly a case of what one loses on the roundabouts being made up on the swings for while consumption of coal is much lessened this summer, the consumption of bread says the same.

A Good Omen
What is it that attracts black cats round St. Andrews Church, Dundee? Is it to bring prospective brides good luck? Last year during a wedding there, two black cats come out and sat right in the path of the bride. This year on 1st June, four black cats appeared almost at the same spot. All those who are superstitious would be will to try to get their wedding fixed for St. Andrew's Church.

To Contest Both Dundee Seats
For the first time in Dundee's political history Socialist party candidates are to contest both seats at the next General Election.
Despite the sweeping defeat they sustained at the polls in October, the executive committee of the Dundee Trades and Labour Council have decided to put forward two candidates at the next election and have instructed all affiliated bodies to submit prospective nominations. The committee recommended that one of the two candidates nominated should be Mr Michael Marcus, a former Socialist MP for the division, who lost his seat in October.
