PLEA FOR SALESWOMEN.

FLEA EUh OALEH w UUMENs
TO the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: AS part Of the great modern
movement of conservation, may | ask
the courtesy of your columns to call
the attention of the public to the ef-
fort that is now on foot to establish
universally in Wilmington the custom
of the weekly half holiday closing of
the stores, during July and August
The custom is now practically uni
versal in other cities. In New York
thirty-fye Of the thirty-six best known
stores are now giving the half holi-
day. In Philadelphia at least thirty
nine have the custom
DO not ali our Wilmington mer-
chants and saleswomen alike need the
same relief from the strain of work
during the long hot summer after
moons? Working men are now in in
creasing numbers enjoying the Satur-
day half holiday. Women need 1t much
more.
Mr.. Louis Brandeis said before the
Supreme Court of Illinois, "The ma
ture of the work in mercantile estab-
lishments is comparable to work in
factories, and the strain of the en-
ployment is analogous to the strain Of
factory work-the long hours Of stand
ing behind the counter and the bad
air common to most stores. are the
worst physical hardships. The strain
OF machine work is replaced by the
strain OF constant intercourse with
customers. together with the necessity
Of keeping up the amount of her sales,
upon which the sales girls position
usually depends"
Says another authority: MANY
saleswomen are so worn out. when
their weeks work is ended, that a
good part of their Sundays is spent
in bed. recuperating for the next
weeks demands"
If the Wilmington public would
like to have the summer half holiday
closing become the custom in ouI
city. and so help to give the much
needed relaxation to merchants and
clerks alike, now is the time TO make
known their desire, by writing to th'
stores at which they deal and express
ing the opinion that the public desires
II and that the added health anS
strength resulting from an afternoon
a week during July and August, spen
in the cool Of the country, would onl!
make for the greater business pros
perity of our city. Sincerely yours,
Margaret Hilles Shearman,
President of the Consumers League o
Delaware.

Editorial Opinion
now ABOUT THE ARMORY!

From the Salisbury News.
What has become of the proposi-
tion to build the Armory in Sails
bury? Although the Legislature pass
ed the appropriation, at the last -ses-
sion carrying $4,000 for the purpose
of erecting this Armory and named
a Commission in the Bill to go ahead
with the work, the Commission has
never met to organize and as far as
the public knows there has been moth
ing done towards a meeting or a start
ing of the work AS the money will be
available in October there is no reason
why the Commission should not meet
al once. organize and get the plans
ready and select site. All this will
take some time and If the Armory is to
be completed this building season the
work should be started at once.
Salisbury needs such a building and
needs it badly. We have no place for
holding large meetings, assemblies or
balls, and this building, if erected at
the right place, will fill long felt
want in Salisbury and by allowing the
building to be rented for such occa-
sions the State will get quite reve-
nue. from the investment. In fact it is
generally conceded that the rents so
derived will keep the Armory in first
class repair
In erecting the building the Com
mission should have an eye to placing
II in a central location and getting the
building large enough to accommo-
date a gathering Of at least 1000 peo-
pie comfortably. With a building
erected with basement and high one
story which will permit OF a gallery
running all around the building such
crowd could be accommodated. The
basement could be used as a gymna.
SUM and would adj much to the at
tractiveness of the membership and
the Company would soon find its
ranks well filled. The thing to do is
for the Commission to get busy and
go to work on the proposition so as tc
have the building completed by the
first of December.

USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than TO restore it, although it
is possible TO do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made "sage tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are
beginning to appreciate the wisdom Of
our grandnothers in using "sage tea"
for their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has tho advan-
tage Of the past in that it can get a
ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. AS q
scalp tonic ard color restorer this prep
aration is vastly superior to The ordinary
"sage tea" made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs
which rob the hair of its life, color and
lustre, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow.

will never lose it's popularity and the
filming of it by the Thanhouser ar
lists brings out with commendable
clearness all the great dramatic mo-
ments with which the story abounds.
The advantage of the motion picture
story over the stage is made manifest
in this production by the marvellous
realism of the railroad wreck in
which Lady Isabel lost her youth and
beauty, and the black-robed Sisters
ministering to the victims of the cat
astrophe make most impressive
scene. The Archibald Carlyle of the
films is q true counterpart of the
Archibald Carlyle of the story and
the clever little "Thanhouser Kid" is
especially charming and pathetic as
