We have cut the profits all to pieces in our children's department. In many cases we have not only cut the profits, but have cut a big slice off the cost. When we cut S and S4 suits down to S2, and S7 and $8 suits to $5, in these times of sharp compe- tltlon, you know there must be some thing besides the profits that have been cut.

There was unvOnted activity in the House
yesterday so far IS that ordinarily unfortunate
founding. the District Of Columbia. was con-
eerned- 1t was eOmmenda5le activity, too. for
II animated several measures of considerable
importance to the community. For some time
past the House of Representatives has been in
ciilsd either 70 treat District legislation as of
no real importance or to pervert it so seriously
a. TO make II obnoxious, but the temper of the
popular branch seems TO have improved ma
terially and the change is one TO be welcomed
with al fervOr- Washington Is entirely de-
pendent upon The national legislature for those
stinulatiye and repressive influences which
are necessary TO good government. The remedy
for all undesirable local conditions is within
easy reach of those whose duty it is TO repre-
sent the yoteless and Yoiceless residents of the
national capital. Let all future District DAYS
be 30 in fact.

The action Of tine House yesterday in passing
the bill to prohibit the carrying of weapons was
timely. The advent Of warm weather almost
invariably brings an increase in the number of
crimes Of physical violence. Possibly it is be-
cause people are out doors more. and are thus
brought into general contact or because the
heat exerts an influence on the human system
that causes the passions to be aroused more
promptly. But it is a fact that people are in
greater danger at each others hands in warm
weather, and q prompt enforcement of the
veapon-carrying Law may save q good deal Of
bloodshed

II was warm here yesterday, but the breeze
tempered the heat and Washington was four
degrees cooler than number of other cities
Forth and west. Washington is sometimes hot
alphabetically sPeaking-there must be eompen-
sating Disadvantages for even the best things,
like our payements- But Washington is a sum
mer resort compared with nearly every city of
the same or greater size in the wide republic.
What with our waving street forests, our numer-
Gus circles, parks and park-hke angles, our in
terseeting avenues and other open spaces we
surpass al other great capitals in the regularity
and exten: Of our resources of widely diffused
cOolness- The Zoo and the Rock Creek parks
will add TO these facilities for comfort and
health what has long been adesideraHm-great
public resorts, such Druid Hill Park in Bal
