CAPITAL SOCIETY WOMEN .
URGE HEALTH MARRIAGES

WASHINGTON. D. c., June a.
Sex hygiene and the enactment Of a
law compelling prospective BRIDE
grooms in the national capital to se-
cure a certificate of good health be-
fore a marriage license could be OBJ
tanned, were subjects up for discus
sion today at meeting of prominent
society women and welfare workers.
The meeting was held in the home of
Mrs. John Hays Hammond, wife Of
the mining engineer.
While 1t was apparent that the
women were agreed on the compul-
sorry production of the health certifi-
cate by the bridegroom, there was a
difference of opinion as to the method
of issuing such a certificate. One
group favored the establishment of
a medical board in connection with
the health department, while others
would leave the matter in the hands
of any reputable physician.

by Money Return When New
Tariff Is Effective.

WASHINGTON. June Q

WASHINGTON, June 2,
Representative Robert G. Bremner,
of New Jersey. who week ago de-,
clared for a plan of relieving manu-
facturers from the uncertainty due to
the indehnitiveness of the time when
the new tariff will go into effect. has
addressed the following letter to each
member of the Senate:
MY Dear Senator:
From commercial bodies repre4
senting almost every State and from
at least 1000 manufacturers l have
endorsements of the plan to refund
duty paid on unusued raw material at
the time of the passage of the pros
posed new tariff. Newspapers everys
where have commented favorakly. =
Such a plan would stimulate ins
dustry and end this horrible hiatus,
this paralyzing suspense. 1t means
uninterrupted employment of labor
and capital
THE principle is not heterodox. We
redeemed stamps at the close of the
Spanish War.
1.-The government would not lose
money. 1t would not have to pay
out anything IL nau not received. Ihs
plan would remedy evils arising from
suspense. 1t would do justice to-
those who ask that there be an In
terim between passage and enactment
of the bill.
why not make this a provision of
the measure? Do you want to see
the endorsements? Is there any ar
puuenf aga nst the Dlan except that
it is brand new?" II. B. w.

ESQ PER CENT. IN
PROFIT VERY LOW
So Declares Joseph MuIlin Tes-
tifying About Charges
Made by Undertakers.

More about the profits in the I'M
dertaking business in Newark was
brought out today at a hearing be-
fore a special master in chancery
when Joseph ]. Mullin. an under
taker, of los Washington street. tes-
tilted against his nephew, William F.
Mullin, in behalf of the latter's
brothers and sisters, who are suing
him for a share in the income of
lis undertaking establishment. His
place is at 22S Lafayette street.
1t was brought out that easkets
that sell for $500. really cost the un
dertaker only $40. One specific in
stance with these figures was given.
Another that cost the undertaken
only S35 was sold for $3.50 Asked II
he considered the difference in these
figures a fair profit for undertakers,
Mr.. Mullin replied that he did not.
Il would consider $50 per cent.
profit very low" said Mr.. Mullin. ~
figure that profit of even three
times the cost of the casket is a low
estimate"
Mr. Mullin went over the books of
the defendant in the suit, who is eX-
ecutor of his fathers estate, and is
being sued to account for the profits
of the business since he acquired it
through the death of his mother ten
years ago. His brothers and sisters
says he has shared the rest of the
estate with them, but has considered
the undertaking business as belong
ing exclusively to him.
1t was shown that money collected
for the use of candlesticks, chairs and
other accessories of that kind is total
profit. There is an agreement be-
tween liverymen that the undertaken
gets ten per cent. of the hearse hire,
Mr.. Mullin said. Gloves that cost
81 25 per dozen were sold at the rate
of SO a dozen, he declared, and en-
banning that cost the undertaken So
he put on the bill for $12.
At the last hearing it was brought
out that the average charge for the
casket. box and burial robe was
something like this:
Casket, $3.50; outside box, SO; burial
robe, $50. The actual cost to the I'M
dertaker, it was stated, was about
on this schedule:
Casket, $3.50; outside box, 1915,
and burial robe, 81.

WHITEHEAD & HOAG co.
SELLS FACTORY BUILDING

The property of the Whitehead &
Hoag Company on the southwest cor
ner of Washington and Warren
streets, has been sold to the Century
Realty Company through Louis
Schlesinger, Inc.
The property, which has been oc-
cupied by the Whitehead & Hoag
Company for about twenty years has
a frontage of forty feet on
Washington street and 256 feet on
Warren street. The property at III
Washington street and 42-46 Warren
street, occupied by the same COM
pany, has also been sold. The latter
parcel of land covers an area of
30 900 square feet, with about 125, DOC
square feet of floor space in the three
and five-story factories on the prem
ises.
1t is expected that Whitehead &
Hoag Company will remain on the
premises until April. 1914. By that
time it is thought their new struc-
ture to be built on Sussex avenue.
First and Dickerson streets and the
Morris canal, will have been COM
pleted The new plant viii be one of
the most modern of Its kind in the
country.
Within a short time the valuable
plot bought from Whitehead & Hoag
Company will be sold by the Central
Realty Company to Benjamin &
Johnes, manufacturers of "Bien
Jolie" brassieres and corsets. 1t is
expected that this concern will en-
ploy about 1000 persons after it takes
possession of the premises. The firm
of Benjamin & Johnes has reorgan-
lied the business of Benjamin
Brothers, which was established in
1884 in the old Union building on
Clinton street. The concern moved
to Front and Centre streets, later
purchasing the property at 5S-55
Bank street. Here they occupied only
two floors at first and later were
obliged 10 utilize the entire five-story
building. Their intended acquisition
of the property recently sold to the
Central concern resulted from de-
mand for still larger quarters.

WOULD USE NAVY
TO BOOST TRADE
Bill in Congress Urges Putting
Industrial Exhibits on War
ships for Foreign Business.
Star BUREAU,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WARRINGTON. June Z

w
A novel suggestion for practical
utilization of the United States navy
in aiding to develop American trade
with other countries is proposed in
bill introduced in the House which
proposes making every battleship and
cruiser a travelling exhibit of Ameri-
can manufacture and products.
The proposal is that the secretary
of the navy is to designate the ships
to be used for this purpose, and to
report to the secretary of commerce
what space is available on them for
exhibition purpose. Then the secre-
tary of commerce is to allot this
space to manufacturers, associations
and others, with view to affording
the widest and most varied exhibit
possible of American products.
w. S. Goodwin, who is the author
and chief promoter of this scheme,
makes the following statement as to
the purpose of the bill.
Opposed to senseless multiplied
ton of useless battleships, l see no
reason why those we have built at SO
great expense should not be used in
they rot and become junk. This mo-
ment, when Europe is an armed camp,
to my mind, would be a proper time
to set the wholesome example OF con-
verting costly and menacing engines
for war to the peaceful mission OF
displaying American handicraft in
the worlds eager markets.
From latest available reports on
movements of our navy 1t appears
that much time is spent by battle
ships, cruisers and gunboats in for
eign ports. Yet trade reports show
how comparatively , unknown are
American goods in these same ports
frequented by American warships.
ITO work out details is a task left
entirely with skilled experts and en-
gineers of our navy department. They
are familiar with every cubic inch OF
space of every vessel, and know to
what extent and for what purposes
employed. Then practical business
sense of our commerce department
will coordinate in this work The
regulations formulated would set out
the nature of exhibits and conditions
upon which such exhibits would be
received so those who would avail
of the service could obtain full in
structions, schedules of the itinerary
of vessels, and detailed information
as to how, when and where to make
application for allotments of exhibit
ton space. The consular service
would cooperate to bring to the at
tention of foreign merchants this in
novation and arrange for proper pub
lefty" H. B. w.
