THE GLOVE SITUATION.

Perhaps the glove situation, which
has been rather tense for months
will soon again be normal After all
a year is not long to give American
manufacturers to fill the places which
before war began the manufacturer!
of France and Germany and tn,
other warning nations filled.
Most OF the gloves American wom
en- wear or else the skins to max.
them, have heretofore been import
ed Just as women were finding that
the new wash dressed kid glove full
filed every requirement of a good
glove, importations of the French
skins from which it was made stop,
ped. Then the American tanners
went to work. Now they have pro.
duced dressed kid that washes we'll
From this kid our glove manufacture
ers will make gloves that wear well
and one of the problems raised by
the war is solved.
For a record OF accuracy and de-
pendability the little postage stamp
is testimonial. And the record is
that of woman-not that of the
postage stamp. The lady's name is
Miss Margaret Kerfoot, who has
been in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing for thirty-two years, and
has handled more stamps than one
individual could count singly in a
lifetime. Last year she consigned
twelve billions of stamps to the va
rious post-offices, and never made a
mistake. She supervises the work
of twenty-five employees and is re-
sponsible for the value and safe con-
signment OF every postage stamp is
sued by the United States.
Every month there are hundreds
of strangers in Washington looking
for gifts to take back to the "home
folks" Usually the price they want
to pay ranges from 10 cents to ST,
and usually good share of the time
allowed to doing" the town is de-
voted tc going the rounds OF the
stores in searching for these nenen-
toes
The time was-hut is no more
when these tourists would be content
with conch shell emblazoned with
an American flag waving beside the
dome in the Capitol, or one of those
aluminium ash trays with the White
House done in relief. Most folks
have better taste now than they had
ten or twenty years ago and when
they are willing to pay a price for
gift thy want something more than
foolish trunIpcry. They want some
thing beautiful, and distinctly local
something that could not be got any
where but in Washington.
As matter Of fact many visitors
leave town still CARRYING with them
money they were willing to spend on
gifts, simply because they could not
find just what they wanted. Doesn't
this state of affairs suggest a possible
opening for some ingenious woman
looking for a way TO make money?
Can't some of them devise some sort
OF handwrought gifts that would be
at once both distinctivcly character
istic of Washington, and possessing
intrinsic beauty?
The Indian women of the Western
reservations, women OF Bermuda, of
Switzerland, and OF other lands that
tourists frequent have made a pretty
penny from this demand for gifts in
supplying it with we'll constructed,
beautiful, and distinctive works of
their own hands. Why shouldn't
Washington women do the sameo

Attorney Daniel P. Brennan. he asked for. a modiaca- ton of an Injunction recently obtained bT pr. J. Nelson Sherwood of this city.
 The injunction restrained Jones from trespassing upon the property at 9z5 Main street or regaining posses sion of his goods.

The dental parlors at 925 Main street were sold a short time ago by Jones to pr. sSher- wood It was agreed that pr. Sher- wood should pay for the business at tae7 rate of $50 week but Jones claims he has not kept his agreement
 Judge Curtis said he would allow a modification Of the Injunction so Jones would not be deprived of any of his legal rights.

The value of the old fashioned labor saving device, the dumb waiter, cannot be exaggerated Instead of carrying up the many, many things that daily have to come from the cellar they are placed on the dumb waiter. No energy Is wasted, and one trip will save three
