MERCHANTS PLAN
SHOPPING DAY
Retailers May Set Aside Sat
urday for Nonresident
Buyers.
ADVANCE IDEA
Proceeds from Potash h-Perlmutter"
Performance Will Be Used to In
ausurate New Trade Movement.

The selection Of one day each week for
tho benefit of nonresident patrons Of
stores Of Washington. when special in
ducements for their coming here will be
offered. is the plan Of the Retail Mer-
chants Association in preparing for a
suburban shopping day" The special
day will be advertised through adjacent
Maryland and Virginia, along the East
ern Shore, and in West Virginia
One railroad running into Washington
has agreed to operate excursion trains
to the District on the suburban" day,
according to Charles J. Columbus. secre-
tary Of the Retail Merchants Associa-
tion Negotiations are being conducted
with other railroads for the offering of
rates. several companies giving assur-
ances Of their future cooperation.
VIII Distribute Posters.
The idea for the suburban day was
suggested by the women's section of the
association to augment the '.buy-in-
Washington movement of the organiza-
tion inaugurated some months ago. The
women's section has arranged for the
presentation Of Potash and Perlmutter'
at the National Theater Monday night,
the proceeds from which will be used in
launching the suburban day scheme. Mrs.
NJ. Brooks, chairman of the section, is
preparing for the sale of flowers and
souvenirs at the performance.
The proceeds from the Monday night
performance will be used principally in
distributing posters and buying space in
newspapers in towns IN Southern Mary
land, Northern Virginia. and West Vir-
ginia from which territory the associa-
tion hopes to draw patrons. 1t is likely
Saturday will be chosen as suburban
shopping day."
This Is a movement that will not only
benefit the business people of Washing
ton," Secretary Columbus said yester-
day. but will bring the people of tbs
nearby States in close touch with this
city. The out-of-town folks only have
to come here to shop once to become
thoroughly convinced of the fact that
Washington is not only an artistic de-
light, but a place where real buying ad-
vantages are paramount
The executive committee Of the wom-
ems section is composed Of Mrs. NJ.

life of Broadway and into the hands
of the Actors Fund of America.
Elita Proctor Otis. the doctors an

confined to her hotel. Miss Otis is
from Cleveland. Ohio. and for years
has been originating important roles
In Broadway theaters She at one
time had a fortune Of a quarter of

She played last spring in "A Cele-

favorite as Nancy Sykes in "Oliver

grown-ups with reckless abandon are
still at their cid tricks. They defy
traffic cops and plunge into the mael-
strom of traffic just as If they owned
the streets.
Some day a traffic cop is going to
lose his patience and some low-browed
ruffian will be dragged from his seat
and beaten to a thick froth-even II
the precious mail does wait.
Frank OBrien believes that this will
happen too and it is his notion of good

China MAKING At
DULN-MARTIN CO.
Manufacture Of Artistic China
Demonstrated at Local
Store.
DISPLAY IS EDUCATIONAL
Evolution of Ware Fully Illustrated
from Original Stage Until
Finally Perfected.

An educational exhibition Of which
all Washington should take advantage
IS being produced this week at the
Dulin & Martin Co. store. The demon
stration shows the evolution Of the E.anu-
facture Of pottery from the original stage
Of china clay until 1t comes forth into
artistically decorated china ware in its
II staged by the Onondaga Pottery Com
pany. of Syracuse, n. Y, the idea being
a new venture of the company.
Placed in Kilns.
The china clay is first pressed or cast
into the shape desired and left to dry.
the time varying according to the thick
ness of the finished article. AS 1t dries
It cleaves away from the mold. Is sepa-
rated from it, is sponged on and smooth
ed and is placed in a fire kiln in gag
gars. The sagGars are large vessels con-
structed in such a way 70 accommodate
a number of the articles. The cover of
the saggars is placed in position sealed
by roll of clay. making the receptacle
air-tight.
The articles are left in the first fire
anywhere from forty-five to fifty hours
when they are removed and the glazing
process begins. A thin covering of
LIQUID something of the consistency Of
thick cream is used and the articles arc.
again burned from thirty to forty hours.
They are then ready for the decorator.
The decorator must of necessity have a
true eye and a steady hand, whether the
work is done with the decalcorlanii
sheets or with the chemical paints used
In banding.
The decalcomania designs come in
great sheets with the designs arranged
ir rows showing beneath a layer OF
sticky sizing. The decorator cuts the de-
signs desired from the sheet. places them
according to the design wished. With a
wet sponge the paper backing of the de-
sign is washed off and the design in all
its perfect colorinG remains.
Ready for Customer.
The articles are again fired and arc
ready for the customer. The heavy ware
and the finest both 90 through the same
process The only exception is in the
case of hotel ware when the decorator
does his work before the glazing is done,
the glaze then affording a protection to
the coloring against the continuous hard
usage.
One of the most interesting forms of
decorating is that of the band china or
the completing of the conventional de-
signs by the blending in the fine lines.
The artist has a revolving pedestal, on
which he places the plate Cor example.
With chemical paints and brush he
marks out the lines by eye as the plate
revolves A mere adjustment OF the
brush gives the most delicate line or the
wide band so popular in the gold band
china.
