Increased Cost of Living.

1T must be borne in mind that the
great bulk of the highly efficient gov
eminent employees accepted such en-
ployment in consideration of the hours
in order that they might be enabled
to give the government the benefit of
their abilities and at the same time
have an opportunity to increase their
efficiency by study or otherwise.
The attention of the Congress of the
United States is again called to the fact
that in the face of increased cost of liv-
ing, which has been progressing at a
remarkable rate for the last ten years,
that the thousands of men and women
upon whom this burden is to rest have
not, during all this time, been granted
an increased allowance for their labor
in order to permit them to at least
keep pace with the actual cost of liv-
ing in this country at the present time.
"A copy of this resolution be formally
presented to the presiding officers of
the Senate and House by the secretary
OF the Retail Merchants Association,
and that copies of the same be mailed

.8-HOUR DAY OPPOSED
BY RETAIL MERCHANTS
Resolutions by Board of Governors
to Be Submitted to
Congress.

Resolutions protesting against the
proposed addition of one hour to the
working day of the clerks in the gov
ernment departments We're adopted by
the board of governors of tine Retail
Merchants Association, at a special
meeting held this afternoon.
\ special meeting of the executive
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
has been called for noon Monday to
consider like action. A regular meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Board of Trade is to be held at
O'Clock Monday afternoon. and it is
proba BILE that the matter will be dis
Cussed at that time
In the absence of President r. P. An
drews. NJ. a. Leese. vice president of
the Retail Merchants Association, pre-
sided at the special meeting this aft
ernoon.
Text of Resolutions.
The resolutions were introduced by
Isaac Cans. They are as follows:
"A rider has been attached to the
federal appropriation bill which will
add snother hour a day service for
federal and District employees, and
Congress, through the eight -hour
law for female employees, has already
enacted legislation that has seriously
circumscribed business here in the Dis
trict of Columbia. putting the National
Capital at a distinct disadvantage with
most cities of the country, particularly
those near to Washington.
THE board of governors of the Retail
Merchants Association, assembled in spe-
cial session this 18th day of February,
1916, hereby petitions the Congress of the
United States to disapprove the said
amendment or rider proposed by Repre-
sentative Borland on the ground that it is
inconsistent with public policy for a great
nation like the United States government
dtional compensation. In our Judgment
the plan is not only wrong in theory and
in ethics. but in practice, as it would tend
to further decrease the earnings of an
underpaid body of efficient and
long-serving men and women, citizens of
this great republic, representing every
state in the Union

There are shown books printed in Ger

"Nuremburg Chronicle" Of 1898. Brey-
denbach's. "Peregrinateo.' the "Hyp.
nerotomachia" Of Poliphilo. Turrecre-
mata's "Meditations," &c. These all
help illustrate the development that
was made In book illustration and the
essential fact that the history Of
wood engraving is practically the his
tory Of book illustration. with all the
educational influence which that i'm
plies. They also illustrate the fact so
aptly put by Lippmann In the state
