WOMEN THRONG STORE.
Taking Advantage of Prices Cut By
Parker. Bridget e. Co.

Parker. Bridget & Co announced in an
advertisement in The Star yesterday a
discontinuance OF the women's depart
ments of the store. This morning be-
fore the opening hour the doors were
banf1ed with woman shoppers eager for
the bargains advertised to be put on
sale today. The crowd increased to such
an extent that the lower floor. stairway
and elevators have been packed with
people throughout the entire day. The
managers Of the store. finding themselves
unable to obtain building room to accom-
modate the phenomenal growth of their
mems and boys clothing sections, have
decided to limit the store to this line of
goods exclusively. AS result the entire
stock of women's apparel-gowns, suits,
wraps furs, millinery, underwear. neck
wear. hosiery. gloves and shoes-will be
sold without regard to cost. All import
ed gowns have been reduced to half price
and less. Owing to the deep cuts in prices
it is announced that no goods will be
sent on approval, nor be returnable or
exchanged. The presence of so many
hundreds of women in response to yes
terday's notice is regarded as evidence
Of the popularity of the Parker & Bird
get store and the widespread power of
an advertisement.

To the Editor of The Star:
can personally testify to the truth of
the recent statement in The Star as to
the confusion caused by the change of
routes of the street cars in connection
with Union station and extension Of the
tracks. Even our own citizens frequently
board cars which carry them where they
do not want to go, and when the mistake
the car has to be stopped when the error
has been discovered for the passenger
to alight, who has then to walk back, or
wait and pay another fare back to the
starting point. OF course, the difficulty
is much greater with strangers, who will
soon be here in greatly increased num-
bers. Now, I suggest that each car
should have on it's sides, in good sized
letters. words to indicate its route: as
for instance. Georgetown to Lincoln Park
Georgetown to navy yard, or whatever
it's route may be, and if the sign was
made reversible, like those on the front
of the cars SO as to indicate the direc-
ton in which the car was going at the
time, the confusion and consequent
trouble would be remedied. If at times
from one route to- another, these signs
could be made removable so as to be
easily and quickly changed. Of course,
where portion only of the cars on
line go via the Union station, they should
as now. be so marked What the public,
and especially strangers want to know, Is
not to which company the cars belong,
but where the cars will carry them, and the
easier and quicker that information Is
given to waiting passengers, the better
for all concerned. w. c. DODGE.

Observations Too Easy.

Or. Cooks alleged astronomical OBJ

cility with which he made both latitude
and longitude observations whenever he
wanted them, especially needless and vir-
tually impossible longitudes near the pole,
working them down to a nicely. was seen
to be only equaled by the ease with which
he passed degree after degree, escaped all

ut Is not worth while to devote much
more space to these analyses. Cooks

generally vague and indefinite. but. like
most men OF his class. altogether too
precise at the wrong place. Nowhere
does his story ring true. 1t is always
an approximation Of reality, but never
his escripdons-everything.

Cooks records. when examined by the
University of Copenhagen, will determine

impostor In view of the physical i'm

Burton Holmes Travelogue.

Burton Holmes at the Columbia The
alter last night gave his third travelogue,
"Sicily." The deepest interest Of the
audience was manifestly aroused by mo-
ton pictures showing the flight Of the
airships at Rheims during the recent avn
alton meet there. Every type Of airship,
from the monoplane, with its birdlke
flight. to the cumbersome dirigible. was
exhibited in motion, together with the
operators, including Glenn Curtis, Bile
riot, Paulham, Farman. Latham and
others. Enthusiasm was shown over the
starts Of Latham and Bleriot in their at
tempts to cross the English channel from
Calais to Dover. Then there were views
Of the Wright brothers flights on the
Roman Campagna. before the King of
Italy, including motion pictures taken
from one Of the machines in motion.
Views of Sicily were not wanting in in
terest. With them the auditor was car
ried back to a civilization illustrating the
noblest era of the Greeks, with it's mag
nif1cent architecture and statuary. There
were views of ruined temples, a fallen
colossus, RACED friezes and columns min
gled with others still standing and re-
fecting some likeness of their greatness
and beauty in the days when they were
peopled with their builders.
The lecture started with views of Nea-
politan scenes and life, in set and motion
pictures. Then came the boat trip to

A Curfew Law Needed.
10 the Editor Of The Star:

The writer has been interested in the
discussion as to a curfew law for the city.
No. only should small children that hang
about saloons. moving picture shows. etc,
be taken off the street at o'clock, but
the older ones who persist in roller skat-
| ing, yelling and making the night hideous
with all sorts of hoodlumism, should be
sent home as we'll. Why our quiet resi-
dental part of the city should have to
suffer-and with no apparent redress
from the noise and general disturbance
of lot of of hoodlums coming from an
other part is incomprehensible. The
northeast section of the District has had
more than it's share of annoyance from
this class and the end is~not yet. For
weeks noisy. lawless mob has taken
possession of certain streets. disturbing
the sick, rasping the nerves of the weary
and making life burden. and when quiet
ly asked to go away, when intruding on
private property. has retaliated in i'm
pertinent and insulting language. And
not only this, but has threatened with
stones those using the hose to lay the
dust raised by hundreds of skaters. When
demonstrated with they have impudently
replied: you can't drive us away. There
is no law to prevent our being here" And
some of these the sons of respectful BILE
parents! The esteemed rector of st. Marks
made an earnest plea the other Sunday
for greater realization on the part of
parents as to their responsibility in the
home life and bringing up of children, and
spoke of the large sum voted by the lay
mems missionary movement for missions
Some of this money could be we'll spent
right here in the District. And what is
to be said OF the mothers who permit
their daughters to be on the street at
night surrounded by such degrading as
sociations? If the home life were what
it ought to be we would seldom read Of
such a shocking affair as was in the
Washington papers recently when a girl
but sixteen years of age committed sui
eide and was found with newborn babe
by her side. Take the children off the
streets and, as there is always a class thai
can only be controlled by the law, provide
a curfew law-and the sooner the better
for the morals of the community

Unheard-of Sledging Speed.

Upon analysing Cooks story however,
one was first astonished to note that he
claimed to have reached the pole from a
winter base as far south as Annotok. 700
miles 600 statute miles,, in sixty-two and
one-half days. No such sledging feat
had ever been done. nor anything ap-
preaching it. At single bound he had
doubled the best any one had achieved in
the past. But upon further inquiry two
startling surprises appeared:
First Instead of starting due north
from Annotok Cook started due west,
with ITO miles of travel westward before
turning north at all, so that his total
travel to the pole was $40 geographical
miles instead of 700.
Second. He had no supporting parties
at all beyond the land, save for three
days.
when Cook left Annotok February ~
he had before him a journey Of $40 miles
to the pole. When Peary's advance party
left the Roosevelt February Is it had be-
fore it a journey Of 500 miles to the pole.
Every experienced arctic man will at
once conclude from these facts that Peary
could travel to the pole about twice as
fast as Cook could travel; that Peary
could average perhaps ten to twelve miles
per day on the upward trip. and Cook
have done with similar equipment and
organization.
Cook claims to have left the land

the pole. 525 miles distant, early enough

sumably at noon. Time. thirty-four days

Tugs and Freight Carriers.

has been lying at the Alexandria ship
yard for the past three weeks or longer

completed her cargo and is awaiting a
tug to tow her away. The tug Peerless

her way to a river point with the barge
Wiconico, and after delivering it will go
to Alexandria after the Atlantic. The At

Easy Enough to Fake.

'Dr. Cook could have had no other pur-
pose in hiding his records than to recon-
struct. or construct, them. Any one who
knows nautical astronomy can sit down
in Annotok, or in Brooklyn, or anywhere
with Nautical Almanac at his side and
cnstruct LATITUDE observations at will.
'"Those of us who have had a share in
arctic work and who have felt anxiety
that no blot OF fraud should stain the
proud record Of effort and sacrifice had
a first hope that DR.. Cook would be able
to demonstrate his good faith. This has

Stomach Stops
WIND IN 1T. USE STUARTS DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS TO SET IT GOING AGAIN.
A TRIAL BOX FREE.

THE DOCTORS call It fatulency, but unpro-
fessional folks know it as wind on the stom-
ach," and a most distressing state Of things It
is. 1t is a serious condition Of this great motor
organ. Always annoying and painful in the ex-
treme, at times often leading to bad and fatal
results The stomach. embarrassed and ham
pered with wind cannot take care Of its food
properly. and indigestion follows, and this has
a train too appalling to enumerate. The entire
system is implica ted-nlade an active passive
factor in this trouble and life soon becomes
questionable boon.
ALL THIS Is EXPLAINED in doctor books;
how undigested food causes gases by fermenta.
ton and fermentation In which process some es-
sential fluids destroyed-burnt up-wasted
by chemical action, followed by defective nutri-
ton and the distribution through the alimentary
tract of chemically wrong elements, and as a
consequence the stomach and entire system Is
starved. Plenty Of food, YOU see. but spoilt
