Goldenberg's Grabs Big Stock at
Half Price and Establishes
Record Sale.
"HARD TIMES' TALES OFFSET

Goldenberg's. Seventh and K streets,
announces the purchase of the entire
surplus stock and seasons overproduc-
ton Of women's wash dresses, silk and
linen waists. and MILDLY blouses from
one OF the largest and best known
manufacturers in the country-a trans
action that represents over $4,000 worth
of merchandise which was obtained on
a basis of 20 and 50 cents on the dollar.
This deal is the biggest in quantity
and quality of merchandise involved
ever known in Washington. and stamps
this city as one Of the leading retail
centers for the distribution Of women's
apparel. Few cities in the United States
could take hold Of such q gigantic
proposition, and IL remained for Golden
bergs to show that the cry of slow
business and hard times" have little
foundation in truth so far as Washing
ton is concerned.
AS to the merchandise involved, it is
stated by the Goldenberg firm that
every dollars worth is of this seasons
manufacture and every garment is per-
feet and of the highest quality Of work
mansh!p and materials. Every wash
frock and waist in the purchase was
manufactured to order, and in the en-
tire lot there is not garment that was
made up for sale purposes. In this con-
nection it is pointed out that sale
goods are made up cheaply and care
lessly; whereas regular stock goods
are made with scrupulous care
While 1t is true the quantities of gar
ments involved are of tremendous size,
they. in all probability. will be quickly
absorbed by the shopping public Of
Washington When one considers
Washington, with population of $4,000
half Of whom are women. It is estimated
that a goodly proportion Of the femi-
nine sex will be interested in such an
event in the way of savings on smart
summer apparel,
The combined circulation Of all the
Washington newspapers is roughly
placed at 10 900 or thereabout, and with
the announcement Of this huge sale
event in them all, IL will demonstrate
the efficiency and news value Of adver-
Using.
ChSice is offered of the widest posi-
BILE range of styles and materials in
both wash dresses and waists Wash
ington women have never seen such
profusion of styles. even at regular
prices Every warm-weather function
has been provided for. There are so
many different models and designs that
everybody can be pleased. Every gar
ment will be sold with the understand
ing that il may be returned for refund
or exchange If not satisfactory.

Husband and Wife in Office.

To the Editor OF the Mall Bag:
We often read OF whole families being
in the employ of Uncle Sam, and why
not. II they can I'LL the bill?
There are in Washington. hundreds
of employees in the departments. the
husband being in one department and
the wife in another. and when two
persons in love with each other, in
the departments get married, there Is
no good reason why they or either OF
them should give up their position, but
If there Is anything IN the world, thai
ought TO be done, il Is TO encourage
them. and try TO assist them, until one
of them can afford 10 give up his or
her position.
There are men and their wives and
in some cases some of the children OF
the same family in the departments.
and the writer is of the opinion, that
il the head of bureau is tit TO manaSe

age young people. who have Just en-
burksd on the sea of matrimony.

A NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.

Perhaps the censors could give a
good reason for passing a dispatch
which says that "forty British and
French warships have gathered ont
side Of location deleted by censor)
with the evident intention of forcing
their way through"
If they haven't gathered some
where, the censorship is deliberately
misleading the public. If they have
gathered somewhere for such pur-
pose, why not say where? The dis
patch comes from Berlin via Copen-
hagen and London; therefore it is
very certain that Berlin knows the
location. If Berlin knows it, if
Copenhagen knows it, and if London
knows it; if. in short, the belliger-
ents on both sides know all about it,
and if a neutral like Denmark knows,
then WHY on earth should the censor
cut out the name 81 the place? 1t
seems a peculiarly inane employment
Of the power &C the blue pencil.
The commentators generally be-
lie"e that the prospective engage
mont is to be an effort to pass the
Dardarellcs. This is based on the
fact that the feet is described as
composed Of both British and
French. and the French have been
assigned the naval control Of the
Mediterranean, while the British are
looking after the North Sea. But it
need not be necessarily concluded
that Constantinople is the scene Of
the movement. British public opin-
ion has been strongly demanding
naval action in the North Sea. A
junction of British and French forces
might have been effected for such an
effort. A successful effort TO open
up the Black Sea would not produce
any such useful results as would a
successful attack on HelpoIand and
the German naval bases bach Of it.

SKIRTS AND PROSPERITY

Leaving to others the effect of
present fashion in gowns upon health
and morals, the announcement that
the tight skirt is going is interesting
from an economic standpoint.
As gowns became tighter and
tighter, necessitating a compression
that was impossible, if anything that
fashion dictates is impossible, or else
the discarding altogether of apparel
that interfered with fashions de-
crees, it was reliably reported that
the last-named alternative was gen
orally resorted to. If proof was
needed of this widely current report,
it was to be had from repeated state
ments of shopkeepers and manufac-
turers that part of the economic de-
preston was due to the elimination
of garments for women wear that
had hitherto been in large demand
and were supposed to be indispensa-
BILE. The return of the full skirt
should spell an era of prosperity for
a decimated industry and incident
ally furnish use for material that is
now a drug on the market and work
for many idle hands.
A busy statistician once figured
out that if the Chinaman could be
persuaded to add an inch to the
length of his shirt there need never
be fear of a surplus of cotton in the
South. Without having checked up
the figures, but accepting the state
ment at face value-as we do many
other. statements of statisticians,
meanwhile having doubt as to their
correctness-we hesitate to predict
how tremendous a boom would come
if women were to begin at once to
wear all the clothes that they appear
at casual glance to have cast off.

COTTON FOR GERMANY.

Cotton is selling in Germany and
Austria for two and three times the
price asked for it on the exchange
in New York. 1t could not be
held at so high value over there
unless, along with shortage of the
supply, there were a demand for it
very wide and very strong. If the
people of Germany and Austria did
not want our cotton in great quaint
ties the price in those countries, war
or no war, would be very little
higher that our price, plus freight;
insurance, and exchange.
Why need cotton command such
Unfortunately high prices in Germany
and Austria when there is so huge a
surplus in this country? Cotton is
not contraband of war. We are a
neutral nation. AS a neutral nation
we are free to send in neutral ships
cargoes that are not contraband into
any port that is not blockaded.
1t cannot be a question of ships.
1t is true that the merchantmen of
Germany and Austria have been
swept off the wide oceans by the
allies and must remain bottled up
in harbors the world over while the
war fleets of England, France, and
Japan command the seas. True, the
merchantmen of the allies will not
carry supplies for their foes. True,
our own ocean-going merchant ma
rine is pitiful remnant of what was
once a glory.
But there is the merchant marine
of Holland; there is the merchant
marine of the Scandinavian coun-
tries; there is the merchant marine
of Italy, as yet neutral. Those peo-
pies, with a very large ocean-car-
rying capacity, are eager to do all
the shipping business that is possible
as long as they may.
If it is insurance that is the trou-
bic it ought not to be. For neutral
bottoms loaded with goods not con-
traband there is no prohibitive risk.
The Washington Administration, by
recent authority from Congress, has
right at its finger ends a scheme for
insurance of overseas traffic by the
National Government.
When, therefore, there is a free
and open market for our cotton in
Germany and in Austria, with these
countries calling for hundreds of
thousands Of bales, our cotton ought
to be going to them in fleets.
