To the Editor of The Evening Star:
As the Fourth of July will soon be upon US
and while all are making preparations for en-
joying this the greatest Of all national holidays
think this an appropriate time to say few
words in your excellent journal in defense of
the overworked store clerk. who seldom knows
what . days holiday means. While many Of
our stores will be closed on Saturday. there are
others who will be compelled to keep open to
accommodate those who persist in putting of
their shopping until the last moment and
thereby deprive the poor clerk Of a days
holiday. The stores will all be open Friday
night, and there 10 no reasonable excuse for
any one shopping on the Fourth Remember
that clerks are only human. although some
people think they more, and if you have q
days holiday try to put il TO a better advantage
than making purchases. surely every patriotic
American wishes to celebrate Independence
day. and by suspending business We will aid
each other IN doing H.S.R.

There is an air shaft running through the
