When the Warrington delegation from
the Chamber Of Commerce and the Board
Of Trade goes up to the Capitol on the
18th Of this month to urge the claims Of
Washington to an Official celebration Of
the opening Of the Panama Canal in 1915.
It will have the warm support Of a large
delegation from Baltimore to help pro-
mote the project.
About q month ago an enthusiastic
delegation from the Merchants and Trav-
elers' Association of Baltimore appeared
before the Chamber Of Commerce and Or
fered the assistance of it's members to
sustain Washington in its effort to get the
exposition.
Last night in Baltimore Secretary Par
rott, with other members Of the asso-
citation. appeared before the city council
of Baltimore on express invitation Of
Mayor Mahool, and advocated sending to
Washington a large and highly repre-
sentative delegation of its best citizens to
join the delegation of Washington's busi-
ness organiza tons in emphasizing the
advisability of holding an official cele-
bratfon of the event in this city. regard
less of what form any celebration at
either New Orleans or San Francisco may
take.
Bears Out Macfarland.
This hearty and practical cooperation
by the business men of Baltimore bears
out all that was said at the Chamber
Of Commerce by the delegation. and sup
ports the claim Of Henry B. F.. Macfar-
land. made at a recent meeting of the
joint committee, that the whole Atlantic
scaboard will Join with Washington in
urging the holding of the celebration in
this city, and that the official opening Of
the great engineering enterprise should
properly be done from the National Cap
itaL
The joint committee from the Chamber
of Commerce and of the Board OF Trade
met yesterday, but were unable to pro-
ceed further with their work until such
suggestions as have been made shall have
been acted upon by the whole meeting
of the Board Of Trade at its meeting to-
night.
The Chamber Of Commerce has already
taken favorable action. and when the
matter shall have passed the Board Of
Trade, as 1T is almost certain to do,
the committee will proceed to make com
plete arrangements for presenting the
matter to Congress on January IL.

TRUANCY ON DECREASE.

Attendance Officer Says Children
Are Inclined to Go to school.
That there is less truancy among the
school children than formerly, is the
statement made yesterday by Mrs. Edna
Bushee. attendance onicer Of the Wash
ington public schools.
The work in her department has been
very encouraging. she remarked, and
while there is no decided decrease in the
number Of boys who play hockey from
school. the attendance records have been
favorable to the new system.
Mrs. Bushee said that . great many Of
these boys are spending much Of their
time playing around the city car sheds,
breaking into old cars. and learning other
acts of mischief which make them GRIM
inally inclined.
"The fault is every case can be traced
back to the parents" said Mrs. Bushee.
Much more trouble IL encountered with
girl truant than with . boy. and for
eisn children give less trouble than ma
tive born.
Compared with other years, she said,
tho record for her department IL exceed
insly good.

nected with Union Savings and
National City Banks.

The Union Savings Bank for some time
large branch. and it decided that there
was no place in the city Of Washington
SO good as the corner Of Pennsylvania
avenue and Seventh street. 1t Is es-
pecially a savings territory. and on Sat-
urday nights Is about the liveliest SPOT
in Washington.
A. E. Randle had also reached the
conclusion that this locality was by Tar
the best in Washington for the purposes
indicated. Negotiations were opened BE-
tween Mr.. Randle and the Union Saw
ings Bank, which resulted in the RAN
die interests becoming stockholders in
the Union Savings Bank. and very large
stockholders in the>National City Bank.
with which the Union Savings Bank is
affiliated. Mr.. Randle has just been
elected member Of the board Of dr.
rectors OF both banks. the combined de-
posits Of which are about three million
dollars.
1t is the intention Of the Union Saw
fngs Bank to open q branch bank, which
will be known as the Central Branch Of
the Union Savings Bank. and will occupy
the old banking quarters In the Central
bulIOlnS AT oeVentn street ana PennSyI-
vania avenue. The new branch will occu-
py the entire first floor Of the building
with the vaults. &C.. In the basement,
having exactly the same quarters and
using the same c60nters as the old
Central.
The Union Savings Bank will Of
course continue to pay 3 per cent inter-
est upon its savings deposits. In addi-
tion. it will take commercial accounts
its customers, doing the usual business
which a national bank does. The branch
will open February l.
The directors and officers of the Union

RBCRfS' CLEAN SWEEP SALE
The Semi-annual Clearance Begins
Friday Morning.
Every Dep.rthent 4. the Big store
II to share In the
Sacrifice.

Everybody. in Washington is interested
in the announcement Of Hechts' great
semi-annual stock clearance, famous
far and wide as the Clean Sweep
Many years ago. when this firm inausu-
rated these twice-a-year ,clearances.
hearty and universal Endorsement gave
the event q unique place in the annals
Of Washington retailing. The firm places
it's entire stock in a forced clear
ance at prices which admit of no profit
substantially below cost.
As stated by q member Of this Arm
yesterday. these "Clean Sweep sales
are arranged not for the purpose Of
profit making, but in order to clear out
stocks at the lowest level. The feature
which commends them to the well-in-
formed shopper is that they are not
timed for the end Of the season, when
the need for the goods has practically
passed. but always occnr at the height
Of the season. when the demand and
need are greatest.
The January "Clean Sweep" sale at the
Hecht Stores will begin Friday morning.
the 18th. and the nrm states that never
before have, the attractions been SO
great and the underpricing SO decisive.
Every department and every line has its
full share in the clearance selling. and
the price reductions will doubtless create
. sensAtion.
The Hecht Stores, as is well known.
will gladly open an account, whether
purchases are large or small. and pay
ments can be made in such sums and
at such dates as will be- entirely con-
venient. That this plan has proved i'm
mensely attractive Is shown by the fact
that hundreds of thousands OF accounts
have been opened by the house and the
number IL constantly increasing.
The details Of the Clean Sweep" sale
win be found in to-morrow's Washing
ton Herald and to-day's evening papers,
the store closing at 40 p. m. to-day to
mark down prices and make ready for
the Gale.
