more than 25c difference in value.
 Same way with Sideboards.

In the August Sale at $46oo we are showing better Sideboard than we showed a year ago at $46.oo Much better. Ten dollars better At the same time for $44,oo we could have shown apparently the same Sideboard- there was about B. % worth of workmanship in the $46,oo Sideboard which was left out of the one we could have bought to sell at $44.oo.
 Same thing IS true of other furniture, whether in the cheap or the finest grades.
 In cheaper grades for instance. here IS a. three-piece oak suit that IS in the August, 1oo1. Sale for $12.o5 It's worth easily three dollars more than the one we sold last year for $I2.5o Yet we could have bought to sell at ST. 50 nearly as good suit as last years $1 2. 50 one,
 But it could not compare with this $12.o5 suit
 Don't these few illustrations convey the spirit that dominates this department?
 Do you understand why we buy better furniture for the same money rather than fur niture of questionable quality and workman ship for great deal less money?
 If you understand this, then you under stand the spirit of the store that ever strives to better retailing in the South.
 In the near future we will tell about the finest furniture here---just now this caution IS enough: Do not get the idea that the August Furniture Sale affects only the medium and cheaper grades of furniture; just as surely as we save you money on the cheaper and me dium grades, just so surely do we save you money on the finest furniture. And in the same proportion.

Baseball Gossip.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal in re- porting the game Saturday between Memphis and Selma comments on the fol- lowing incident. The score was to l in favor of Memphis. A fly was hit to Gif- ford That player apparently did not try to get under 1t and 1t counted safe. The next batter up knocked another fly into the same garden. It came fair to Clifford so that he could not get away from it. Right here is where MT. Clifford saw a chance of showing off. He turned his back to the ball stuck out his hands be- hind him and the batter was safe at first. Fender promptly called Clifford out of the field. Clifford will probably have chance to rest for some time. When he was here last he made himself very unpopular. At New Orleans last week the umpire put on a fine of $10 and Fender later in the same game put on another fine of the same size Apparently these two fines made Clifford tired.

AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Problem of Supplying Money
for the COrOner's Office.
The Emergency and Contingent
Funds Now the Only Sources En-
cept a Deficiency Appropriation
Abatement of an Alley Nuisance.

The exhaustion Of the appropriation for
the Coroner's ONCE for the current fiscal
year was considered yesterday by the
Auditor and by Commissioner Macfar-
land, who has immediate supervision over
the Coroner The facts published eXclu-
sively in The Times yesterday morning
was the first intimation that people had
Of the shortage in the COrOners office.
Later in the day the matter was brought
10 the notice Of Commissioner Macfar-
land officially, and the matter was gone
over with the Auditor. II was found that
a portion Of the expenses Of the office
could be provided for out of the emcr-
Eency fund. while other current expenses
will have TO be met IN an item in the
Deficiency bill, TO be passed by the next
Congress.
The salary Of the Coroner is provided
for by special itera of 81 800 in each
appropriation bill. The expenses of his
Office are included IN another item of
81 200, while the pay Of the Deputy Cor
oner is provided for in each Deficiency
bin, he being allowed s. per diem FOR the
number Of days employed. He also re-
ceives pay for the autopsies he performs
during the year.
Coroner Neyitts explanation is that the
year has brought more than the usual
number OF Investigations, which, with the
payment for large number of witnesses
in several instances, has consumed the
smouEt allowed II is thought that the
natural growth Of the business Of the
Coroners Office has been such that the
cum Of 1920 IS no longer sufficient to
meet the necessary expenses
Speaking OF the matter yesterday Audi
tor Petty said that there were two ways
10 carry the Coroners Office through the
remainder of the fiscal year One was
he said. by regular deficiency appropria-
tion and the other was to make use of the
emergency fund. This fund OF IS 900 con-
talned In each appropriation bill, Mr.
Petty explained. was to cover the cost of

such as a flood, fire, or an epidemic OF dis
ease. BY Interpretation of the law, he
stated, the expenses of the Coroner :

OF the dead were looked upon as proper

j. r. Walker * Sons have written TO
the Commissioners with reference to the
refusal of their application to place an
asphalt roof on Il laundry in this city.
They call the attention OF the Commits

Police lIeadGuarterS-is at present, are
both covered with roofing similar to that
which 1t is proposed TO use on the laun-
dry. The writers inform the Commits

them and those it is intended to lay is
that they have Stag in their composition,

states That there the proposed roofing was
pronounced highly infiammabI- As a
consequence he saws, II would not meet
the requirements OF the building regula-

employed first in temporary capacity
by the month. with a monthly rate of
compensation, and later as regular
yearly employee of the District with sal

edge of the fact that the daily duties re-
quired of him could not possibly be per
formed in eight hours. Without com
plant or murmur. Mr.. Petty says, Daven-
