RAPID SELLING
AT GROSNER'S
FACTORY SALE
Kuppenheimer Quality Clothes Go.
ing At Deeply Cut
Prices.

The rapid selling which has been in
evidence at Grosner's store during the
second Kuppenheimer Factory Shipment
Sale is continuing with a still greater
momentum, due to deeper and deeper
price cuts that have just been made.
Kuppcnheimer clothes are fnr-famed
for their high quality of material and
workmanship, smartness OF style, ele-
SanCe Of finish. and perfection of fit.
Men of Washington know that these
famous garments are always big values
even when sold at the "top-notch''
prices. This explains the heavy buying
which always follows the announcement
of a sale OF Kuppenheimer clothes at re-
duced prices.
The reductions at the present sale are
most generOus-not merely n few cents
off t. give the prices a bargain" ap-
Dearance--but substantial price cuts
such as one-half off. For example, VAL
ues up TO $3.50 are marked at SASS.
These big values are worthy OF every
man's careful investigation.
All the seasonable weaves and cSlor3
are to be found in this lot, including tho
popular blue and black sunproof serges
Norfolks and English models prevail.
but the more conservative style for old
er men are plentiful.
One notable feature of this sale Is the
fact that Grosners regular guarantee Of
absolute satisfaction accompanies every
purchase, in spite of the phenomenal re-
auctions at which they are sold

CONGRESS SEES END
MIDDLE OF OCTOBER
Eighteen Months of Continu-
Gus Session
Compromise on Rivers and Harbor.
BilI-War Revenue Measure Soon
Out of Way-PubIic Land
Lease Legislation.

Washington, Sept. 20.-After Is
months of continuous session Con-
gress sees the way ahead for adjourn
ment. Unless the European war
should present new tangles, admins
tration leaders said they could see no
reason why adjournment could not be
taken by October 18th.
The Senate tomorrow will continue
consideration of the rivers and har-
bors bill with prospects growing g
brighter for further compromise. Even
some of the Democrats have grown
half hearted in their support of the
measure in the present financial strin-
gency. President Wilson has held up
warning hand against any expendi-
lures not absolutely necessary.
The House this week will take up
the war revenue bill which was com
pleted by Democrats of the Ways and
Means Committee. The measure as
agreed on would tax beer, wines, gas
Oline, bankers, brokers, amusement
proprietors and levy stamp tax on
commercial instruments with checks
and drafts eliminated Majority Lead
er Underwood believes he can pilot
them through within week.
