Cut Glass
and China

TO give the Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinner table a tone.
Ny stock Of cut glass is not
only the most complete, but the
very finest glass I can buy. There
is a difference in diamonds
there is a difference in cut glass.
People who know good glass from
poor will have none but the best.
Cheap glass, although it may be
of same size and the cutting look
like that of a higher priced arti-
Gle, is made from poorer quality
of glass, which is often times sim
ply pressed glass polished to give
it the appearance of being cut
from a blank. l handle nothing
but American stock, buy direct
from the factory-not from job
bers-hence 1 know that my glass
is right.
TO those whose first wish is
quality, not quantity and cheap
ness, l invite to inspect my stock
of fine American cut glass.
My line of hand-painted china
will be complete about December
l. Wait for it.

The District Commissioners recon-

that an appropriation be made to be de-
voted TO obtaining a new repair shop
and lumber yard for the District. and
the explanation was made that about
10000 Square feet Of land would be
needed for the purpose. The action
taken on the request was the require
ment that the shop must be included in
the new District Building
At present it appears impossible to
give this shop anywhere near the space
necessary If 1t is TO be put In the Sub

use is at - d Street, near the Baltimore

that the courts cannot be depend ed upon

the rights OF negro citizens In those
Southern States where they are denied

itself is not criticised. as ii is clearly
pointed out that no Federal question IS
involved in the Giles case, and that,
therefore. the Supreme Court could not
interfere
It's Cup to Congress-

the decision does accentuate the re-
