More Square Pianos Wanted By the
Bradbury Co.
Mr.. Van Wickle Returns From Brooklyn
After Fruitless Search for Sec
ond-Hand Pianos.

Mr.. ". P. Van Wicklc. Of the Bradbury Piano
Co, who has Just returned from trip to the
Brooklyn offices %. the COMPANY, says he failed
to sec IRE any square pianos while there 10 sup
ply the demand from the country branches.
The burning n the Brooklyn factory. which
contained over 3@t square pianos hrs caused
square piano famine, il were and Mr Van
NieSle says he is compelled TO call on Wash
lncton 70 supply them with some more second
hand square and upright pianos at once
Anyone who has an old piano in forage or
loaned out |ould do well To communicate with
the Bradbury Company right away They will
take any make piaaoS-Bradburys, Chickering's,
stcinways, hnahes, Dcckers Stiefs, Fishers,
Wcbcrs, the pianos of any other :nanufac-
tuners, giving due bill in cxchinge. which
viii be honored and accepted the sume as cash
at the local warerooms 1925 pcnnsy vania ave-
nue., or at any Bradbury warero0m in the
country in the purchase OF a new upright
piano.
The Bradbury Company will move the old
piano from your residence or the storage house
to their warrIoorns free Of charge, or will move
all pianos shipped them from points outside OF
Washington from the freight depot without
charge. Simply notify them Of the date of
shipment and railroad over which piano is
shipped.
No one ghould feel ike holding on to an old
secondhand square or upright piano which
must be steadily decreasing in valne all the
time, when sneh good opportunity as this
presents itself of dspgsing OF the instrument
TO good advantage.

not obstruct the erection of the steel
uprights and girders In the least. There
are two huge arms on the top of the
tower. one facing toward the alley in
the rear of the premises and the other
toward Fourteenth Street In a few days
we will have two separate engines set
up and two gangs of men, so that double
work can be done. The front part of
the structural steel work can be placed
up, and the back par I'm up with 1t
at the same time, neither derrick inter
fering with the other.
But the greatest advantage of the
tower IS the fact that it can remain
just as it Is until the framework with
its consequent heavy lifting is completed.
Ordinarily these derricks are merely
erected on each floor OF tho building as
it is put up. so as to permit the beams
for the floor above to be hoisted into
place. When this is done the whole
force is taken from its regular work and
made to take the derrick apart and
raise it to the next story. where it is
again set up. This process usually takes
at least two full days, and in a build
ing of eight stories. such as this will
be, sixteen days are practically wasted
in this continual shifting of the der
rick
with this one tower having the der
ricks at the top, the work can be push
ed right ahead without this sixteen
days' DELAY And this saving of time
often means much in the erection OF a
big modern building. Here the trucks
carrying the steel girders and parts of
the framework can come right up to the
back alley and to the front of the lot
on Fourteenth Street, where they can
be quickly unloaded by the two swing
Ing arms of the tower derrick, and the
material placed on the Aground at the
base OF the structure. From here it
can be lifted into place ~ moments S

its legal effect was to place all of the
designated holidays on the same footing.
AS above indicated, the amendment to
this section, now under consideration,
was a departure in phrase from the
other amendments to the chapter; the
change of phrase appearing to have been
made eX industria.
If the intention had been to make
every Saturday after II o'clock noon a
holiday only for purposes relating to
negotiable instruments, that could have
been readily done by declaring every
Saturday a half holiday within the
meaning of this chapter"
Same as Other Days.
I am. therefore. of the opinion that
by reason of said amendment to the
code "evcry Saturday after II o'clock
noon is a holiday in the District of
Columbia in the same sense and to the
like extent as the other days enumer-
ated in said section 1899.
1t will be observed that the only
business of any character prohibited by
the code on these holidays relates to
matters concerning negotiable instru-
ments
These holidays. therefore, are not TO
be classed with Sundays. which at COM
mon law. was dies non juridicus.
Speaking of holidays. the Supreme
Court of the United States in Richard
son VS.. Goddard (23 How. 2S). said:
Formerly the courts sat even on
Sundays; nor were contracts made on
that day considered Illegal or void until
the statute of 20 Chas. II was enacted,
whereby no person whatever is al
lowed to do or exercise any worldly
labor or work of their callings on the
Lords day. but this prohibition was
never extended, either by statute or
usage, to other church fasts, festivals,
or holidays"
Referring to some of the features in
cidcnt TO legal holidays, it is said in
Goth Enc. Pl and Pr. 1905, that:
In many of the States it is express
ly provided by statute that no courts
can be opened or judicial business be
transacted on any legal holiday, with
certain specified exceptions. Who're
statute enumerates what is forbidden to
be done on a holiday, the performance
of other things being discretionary
judicial acts not specially prohibited
which are performed on that day are
not void. Ministerial acts may proper
ly be performed on legal holidays in
the absence of express statutory pro-
visions. and statutes prohibiting judicial
acts do not apply to such as are merely
ministerial"
Holidays. it seems, have only the
sanctity attached to them by the par
ticular statute, and all business may
be transacted on them except such as
is expressly forbidden.

DISAPPEARANCE OF
SECRETARY MOODY
Supposed, From Word Left Last Friday
He Has But Taken Trip Down
River on Sylph.

Secretary Moody disappeared from
the city, officially, Friday evening leav-
ing no word as to his next address. In
conjecture has since been
busy. and has located him at almost any
point from Oyster Bay to Newport News.
His only message, it is said, was that
he would reappear Monday morning. and
some ground for the theory that he has
but taken run down the Potomac on
the Sylph is found in this message.
