TO MOVE
into New QUARTERS

Chamber of Commerce and Have
Home in Pennsylvania Avenue.
WILL CHANGE BY APRIL

Announcement was made yesterday
| that the Retail Merchants Association
will move to new quarters in the Star
Building. li0l Pennsylvania avenue north
west. April l next.
The change will be made, President r.
p. Andrews explained. TO provide ade-
quate floor space for the conduct OF the
credit and collection features of the as
sociation. These bureaus of the Retail
Merchants Association have been de-
veloped to a most interesting extent. II is
declared. and in its new home the mer-
chants association will not only be pre-
pared to house the credit and collection
bureaus. but to take care of the great
sociation in the interest OF the retail
trade of Washington.
The Retail Merchants Association Is In
its fourth year and was organized origi-
nally from the retail trade committee
of the Chamber of Commerce. Ever since
Its inception the association has had its
headquarters In the rooms Of the Cham
Der OF Commerce. The development of
the association is regarded as phenome-
nal. Made up of twenty-eight lines of
trade. it has in its membership the lead
ers in all Of those lines. and additional
elements Of trade in Washington are be-
ing constantly added to the membership
rolls. Recently a credit mems section
was organized and as a result of this
the work of the collection bureau is to
be amplified and a credit information bu-
reau established.
The Retail Merchants Association has
secured a large floor space on the fourth

Woman May Be Hon0red

Shown for achievements of Miss Gertrude
Beeks in Bringing More Health and
Comfort to Panama.

Of the things that resulted from her work
Dry Clothing Important.
Drying rooms in which the Iaborers
could dry their clothing, wet through
with moisture or rain. SO that they might
have thoroughly dried garments the next
morning. This innovation, 1t is estimated,
resulted In the saving of hundreds OF
lives.
The erection Of rain sheds as shelters
for the workingmen.
/, Beds for Americans in permanent quar-
tiers.

The inspection of all foodstuffs and

The installation of refrigerating plants
in the mess halls.

Blankets for negro employees.

directly upon the health. the drying room

introduced Square Meal.
when it is understood that the hos.
pitfalls are filled mostly with cases of ma
laria and pneumonia, the latter due al
most entirely to wearing damp or wet
garments said Miss Beeks. ''it will be
seen that, as an economic proposition
| alone, the simple provision Of drying
rooms should have been made long ago,
and that humanitarianism should not
have been sacrificed for speed
Miss Beeks also has the reputation OF
being the woman who brought the square
| meal to the canal. Her careful investi-
cations revealed the fact that though the
government commissary cleared S37. .oot
| the year previous, good food was not sup
piled. She established sweeping and life
| saving changes.
Some enthusiastic dwellers on the zone
have likened Miss Beeks to an angel
bent upon a loving mission. Whatever
the United States may do in the way
of awarding honors, her work is a mon.

Having bettered the living conditlons
of the 5000 employees in big manufac-

that she could essay the Panama propo-
sition with every promise of complete sue
cess. In 1907, when many disconnected
laborers were leaving the canal. and there
was much complaint regarding the ma
ture of food and the lack of ordinary So
cial diversions, Mr.. Taft, then Secretary
of War, delegated Miss Beeks to go to
the Canal Zone and make careful sur
Hey to determine what could be done to
better the general living conditions of
the 5000 odd employees.
How well Miss Beeks did her work has
been attested by the improved conditions
of the men employed on the work and of
their families, of whom there were r2oC
women and children.
