marks (s2500OO to s1.oo0,oo0p. At the
same time it has changed its name to
General Advertising Corporation" (Al-
legemeins Anzeigen Gesellschaft. That
would appear to mean a more intimate
participation in Germany's domestic ad-
vertising business.
What is this newly baptized Foreign
Advertising Corporation? asks the
Frankfurter Zeitung. who is behind
it? What are its plans? When it was
organized shortly before the war with
a capital of 100000 marks its program
was the distribution OF German adver-
tisements to foreign newspapers. How
far it was planned in this way to in
fuence foreign newspapers and how
far one might approve of such a policy
need not be discussed today, Tor the
war has to a great extent made it i'm
possible Apparently that was also the
view of this corporation, for in increas-
ing measure it got into the domestic
advertising business.
Big Steel Interests Involved.
"Of itself that would not be reason
to discuss the enterprise politically.
For just in this field little real COM

Committee Expects Large Contribu-
tions From Public This Week.

Believing that every one in Washing
ton has a desire to contribute to the
Red Cross service fund, the Red Cross
finance committee looks for large gifts
this week to the fund from some of the
many citizens who have not contributed
at all because they have not appreci-
ated the opportunity. The committee
expressed the hope that no one Will
wait for personal appeal for the next
Red Cross week.
Because there seems to be some who
do not know where to send contribu-
tions the committee announces that
money or checks may be sent to The

Weeping, the Aged Negro Continued Selling

Kind Person Makes an Appeal.

market the old colored woman handed
a woman customer a ten-dollar bill in
stead OF a one-dollar bill, wiping out
profits for many sales to come. AS
money means hard, hard work to very
old colored women, she was in despair
and just naturally let the tears come
creeping down her cheeks as she tend
ed to the other customers.
Then along came the kind person who
wrote to The Star. She found out the
trouble and also that the old woman
would be back at her stand again on
Tuesday. September %. This is part
of her letter.
-. and l thought 1 would ask you
to make an advertisement of it, and
maybe the lady who has the extra S9
will see it in The Star and return the
same, as it would be an act of human
ity, and if you can convey these facts
for not more than so cents l will pay
that much. AS Tuesday, the 25th. Will
be my sixty-eighth birthday annivers-
airy i will call that my little bit for
the brave at home and Will visit the

There was an old colored woman
weeping as she sold things to her Gus
toners at her stand near the iron fence
south of the Center Market Also,
there was very kind person who took
it all in. and of the hundreds of people
who bought things up and down the
line of country wagons that day. this
person has taken the trouble to write
to The Star to ask that an advertise
ment be made of the old woman's trou-
bles. in the hope that they may be
Strengthened out. And that would be
an easy matter to accomplish, for II
the right one reads this little story. and
recognizes where she got an extra nine
dollars in her pocket book, then she
will go back to the old colored woman
and balance accounts.
Now the person who wrote to The
Star says that in the confusion OF

should it develop that the Reed
amendment does not apply to the Dis
trict of Columbia" said Mr.. Shoemaker.
IAN effort will be made to have Con-
gress enact supplemental legislation
that will bring the District in line with
states that have laws that are abso-
lutely bone dry
Much has been said about the dry
law here being contested after Novem-
ber 1. and late reports from Prince
Georges county. Nd. are to the effect
that the law effective in that county
at that time is to be contested The
keepers is that they paid their license
fees for the privilege of conducting
business until May 1. 1918. and that the
law closing them at the end of six
months without refunding one-half
their tax money is unconstitutional.
Mr.. Shoemaker advises against any
such procedure. He cited a case in
which a similar condition existed and
in which the court of appeals of Mary
land upheld the right of the legislature
to enact the law.
