st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. THE bright
oasis in present day discussion OF the
issues between the temperance peo-
ple, and others, is, afforded in the
position being taken by leading
brewers of the country who are pro
noting an active sentiment antagon'
istic to some Of the abuses OF the

tered their attack mainly upon hare
drinking, whisky and its attendant
spiritous partners. but upon malts'
including beer, and the lighter wines
The whole question would be speedily
settled II the brewers would break
away from the distillers. That this
ia being done is evidenced by some
recent statements coming from the
brewers. For instance, in an inter
view with a reporter for a st. Louis
daily newspaper, late in November
August A. Busch, of that city, one Of
the most prominent brewers in the
United States, said that much might

sentiment by strict enforcement o
all excise laws, discontinance OF bars
in saloons, abolition of treating, AMI
the elimination of the lawless saloon
keeper, through the cooperation o
brewers to that end.

SUICIDES SHOW
INCREASE HERE
Eleven Attempt to End
Life; Two Are Sue
cessful.

Suicides IN Washington are on the
increase.
With an average of more than one
day, eleven attempts at suicide
were made in the last ten days. Two
were successful.
That the increase is due almost
entirely to the hot. humid August
'dog-days" and their attendant de-
pressing effect on morbidly inclined
people is the consensus of opinion or
health and police authorities ac-
cording to statements made by them
today.
Pointing out that bichloride OF
mercury poisoning was the method
used by three of the would-be self
murderers, doctors in the health de-
partment say that the District should
have a stricter law on the sale of
the drug. 1t is said that in most
drug stores it is as easy to procure
as common headache tablets. The
health department advises that
druggists sell the bichloride tablets
with the utmost discretion, refusing
their sale to any one who looks
as if he might use them for suicidal
purposes.
Gas poisoning was the other method
in common use. Four unfortunates
tried to take their lives in this way.
One of the fatalities, that of Charles
Henning. who died alone and friend
less in a rooming house at SS3 Mis-
souri, avenue. was due to gas.
Two women tried to take their
lives by swallowing iodine. Poison
ing of that kind is seldom serious,
doctors say. The dose of iodine that
is sufficient to cause death would be
almost enough to swim in they say.
The list of attempts shows that
women are more likely to try suicide
than men. Seven women are listed
and but four men.

WOMAN finds way
TO CARRY BUNDLES
Housewife Devises Method for TAX
ing Purchases Home.

Once more a woman-and a suffra-
gist-comes to the rescue. Since Mrs
Newton d. Baker and the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
took up the cudgels for the consumer
and proposed cooperation in the car
ry-our-own" campaign on the basis
o; discounts from the merchants in
return for bundles carried by the
purchaser, letters have been pouring
In from all sources, with commenda-
ttons, questions and suggestions.
Among the questions comes one from a
practical housewife requiring a very
materialistic answer: How can we
carry our own when the bundles are
heavy?"
Mrs. Baker had but to put her hand
into her letter file and draw out the
answer. 1t came from Mrs. Samuel
A. Bullock, of Bala, Penn, who has
solved the problem for herself by her
own ingenious invention, a unique
carry-all in which she brings home
from market supplies for a family of
seven.
Mrs. Bullock made for herself a
khaki bag which she attaches along
its side to three-foot wooden handle,
at the lower end of which is a little
wooden platform to support the bot
tom of the bag. At the two corners of
the platform nearest the handle are
little wheels or rollers, so that the
carry-all may be pushed along, or
trundled with one hand after the fash
ion of go-cart.
Mrs. Bullock lists the contents of the
Dag when she returned from her last
marketing expedition as follows: 1
hve-pound chicken, 2 pounds of butter
4 punches of celery, box of berries,
carrier of peaches, l egg plant,
quart of string beans, one-half dozen
oranges. one-quarter peck of apples,
heads of lettuce, one-quarter peck
OF tomatoes, 4 squashes, one-half doz-
en- bananas, one-half dozen lemons, /
loaf OF bread and 2 veal outlets.

WOOL WORTH BUILDS
MODEL Store HERE
New ) and 10 Cent Emporium to
Be Opened Today.

When the doors of F. W. Wool
worth's new store at 46-4l2 Seventh
street are thrown open to the public
for an informal reception and inspec-
ton this afternoon, Washingtonians
are invited to visit what is without
doubt the peer of any ) and 10 cent
store in the entire country. A cordial
invitation is extended to all by Man
ager c. F. Bauer. to give the new
esta blishment visit between the
hours of ; and o'clock in the after
noon, and to 8 o'clock at night. when
Caldwell's orchestra will be on hand
to furnish music and nothing will be
offered for sale. Selling will begin
Saturday morning.
For more than four months the
work of first razing the old structure
on the site and erecting the new build
ing, has been progressing steadily. and
the results will be viewed today, al
most % years to the day since Wool
worth started doing business in
Washington. This is the only one of
the whole chain without the familiar
red front which distinguishes the
Woolworth stores, the new building
having a handsome facade of terra
Gotta tiling, with marble base. This
conception is made In Difference to
Washington's prevailing city beauti-
full" scheme of architecture.
Unique features of the new estab-
lishment include three commodious
rest rooms" for the exclusive use of
the girls employed in the store, and
combination soda fountain and
luncheonette of the most modern and
sanitary type.
Many Clerks Added.
The rest rooms are on the second
floor, and contain every convenience
for the use of the staff of employees.
Many new clerks are added in antici-
patton of increased business in the
larger quarters.
All the metal fitting of the soda
fountain and luncheonette are plat
ed with silver. adding greatly to
the cleanliness and sanitation of
the fixtures. which are the most
modern to be found in the city, in
fact, that it would be possible to
buy. This feature of the store will
be a great boon to the tired shop
per. as a complete line of soft
drinks and appetizing light lunch
con specialties will be carried at
all times.

Woolworth interests from Harris
burg, Pa, to Danvile, Va, when
seen last night was much pleased
with the successful completion of
the newest and handsomest of the
entire number of Woolworth stores
Two floors will be taken up with
our enormous surplus stocks" he
said. "and two floors will be de-
voted to salesrooms. The unusually
large window space makes ours
practically a daylight store. in the
modern sense of the word.
AT our informal reception this
afternoon we want everybody to
come and see our establishment"
The Washington herald., 1917-08-24

The establishment of great whole
sale terminal market in Washington,
where practically all the food products
coming into the city can be assembled
and sold by licensed auctioneers or
commission men under strict govern
mental control, is advocated by Conf
missioner Brownlow. THE only alter
native" Commissioner Brownlow de-
clared yesterday in an interview with
a representative of The Herald, lis
direct municipal operation. that is, Tor
the city to buy and seel the food"
What we need in Washington is a
wholesale terminal market operated
along the lines of the Halles Centrale
in Paris" said the Commissioner, land
with such modification of the Paris
market system asswould meet local
needs, believe we can arrive at an
ideal solution of the market problem. :"
The District Commissioners and the
investigating committee of the District
Council on National Defense, of which
Charles F. Nesbit. superintendent of
insurance, is chairman, have about
come to an agreement on the essential
features of this market construction
Just as soon as certain details are de-
cided upon definite action may be ex-
pected. AS the District Commission
ers have no legislative authority. this
action would necessarily be limited to
recommending that Congress authorize
the construction Of the market.
Transportation Facilities.
Adequate railway and water fac
ilities are regarded as indispensable
in any location to be selected as a
site for the terminal market, ac-
cording to Commissioner Brown
low.
Such a terminal market. to pro-
vide for the handling and assem-
bling of practically all the produce
shipped into Washington and even
approaching in size that of model
municipal market in Paris, would
probably occupy several acres. The
Paris market occupies % acres
right in the heart of the city. 1t
is all under government control.
The food is sent there largely in
lots, in bulk, the men that break
the bulk, control it. sell il. and
handle it are under license by the
Government.
Other features of the regulation
and control of the market require
that a man applying for one of
these positions must first apply in
writing, and he is looked up, and

he must be a man of good moral
character and responsible, a man
that. has never been convicted of
crime. He must confine himself ex-
clusively to the selling of food
there, either at auction or private
sale, on a commission. He is not
permitted to buy any of the food
himself. He is not permitted to be
interested in any business that
does buy food there.
II such q model market is established
in Washington. it is pointed out, a
farmer anywhere in the United States
may ship his goods here, with ab-
solute confidence that he has a public
official charged with the duty of hand
ling his product. under bond, who will
send him an accurate return of the
sale.
Double Check On Sales.
The product sent here would be
weighed. inspected and a record kept
and the price published. It is likely
also. that the address of buyer would
be given to enable the shipper or
producer to check up the returns sent
him as the price it sold for
1t is not intended that the govern
ment should supply the capital for the
purchase of the goods that are sold.
1t would simply supply the machinery,
supervise the sale and require that all
goods pay certain percentum on the
cost as a charge for the housing of
the business, for use of the market.
If the proposed Washington market
proves as successful as the Halles Gen.
trale in Paris. it should produce hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in rev.
enue to the city. The city's income
from the Paris market is 81 800, 900 a
year. Yet the cost OF distribution in
such a large wholesale market is
very small. By selling in great guam
titles the auctioneers are satisfied with
around three per cent as their COM
mission for making the sale. The
commission which they can charge is
fixed by the city authorities.
