This $4,000 is only a beginning with
the Riker & Hegeman stores. Up to
the present time the experiment has
proved a success.
For many years the stores have eX-
plotted foreign face powders. When the
supply was cut off they decided on
for themselves. Last week they offered

Another instance is in the manufac-

WALTERS ENDORSES
WADE COTTON PLAN
Baltimore Merchant Tells the
President and Federal Board
of Its Possibilities.

Henry E. Walters Of Baltimore, own
er Of the famous Walters Art Gallery.
chairman of the board Of directors Of
the Atlantic Coast Line railway and
controlling owner Of the Louisville and
Nashville, today told President Wilson
that he gave unqualified Endorsement
to the so-called Wade cotton pool plan
Tor the relief Of the South. Mr.. Wal
ters left Washington this afternoon for
New York, and will be in Baltimore
Saturday. Before leaving he Joined
Festus ]. Wade and E. c. Simmons of
st. Louis in presenting to the Federal
reserve board the details Of the Wade
plan.
The President regards Mr.. Walter as
one of the most representative business
men Of the South. The President and
Mr. Walters were boyhood chums In
Wilmington, N. c.
In talking later with the newspaper
men, Mr.. Walters declared that al
though subsequently the entire country
ought to benefit from the war, 1t is es-
sential during the next two years Tor
the East and South to go through a
period of strictest economy.
The experience at economy" he
effect. With the war in progress the
East and South will be unable to Dor
row as much money as they have been
accustomed to from Europe, and re-
trenchments will be necessary. The
railroads will, Of course. have to go
through the same economical practices.
After two years, however, there Is no
reason why this country should not
reap big benefits from the war. In
the meantime the West will doubtless
benefit from its sales Of wheat abroad
with Gotten selling at 6% cents a
pound, the South Is facing bankruptcy.
The railroads, unable to find any cotton
export business are not moving cotton
to the sea coast. Something must be

the most feawsible one yet proposed"

TURNING TO MARINE PRODUCTS

with the price of meats and eggs

people are turning more and more to

report.
Also. as the city of Washington has
grown. there has developed a need for
the products of the trucking sections

and lower Maryland. All of these prod
ucts must come in wholesale quantities
to this market. where there are at pres
ent no adequate facilities for handling
such trade, or any trade in large
quantities. The result is a tremendous
wastage and necessarily higher prices
to consumers.
We need a new market building,
adequate to accommodate all Of this

retail business as may develop at this
point; having railroad connection with
the freight yards west of Twelfth
street, and with chilling and freezing
