QUIZ SALOON OWNERS
ON FEES TO COUNSEL
Department of Justice Sounds Dealers
on Relations with Lawyers.

The Dep partment Of Justice yesterday ex-
a,ntned more retail liquor dealers of the
District In its investigation Of conditions
under which licenses were procured and
the umor which Is current that certain
licensees were coerced into giving large
sums Of money to secure influence"
Chairman Andrew J. Cummings, OF the
Excise Board. said last night that that
body had taken no action on the pending
investigation. nor did it propose to. 1T
Is a matter that concerns the Department
OF Justice and they have not sought the
cooperation or assistance of the Excise
Board" he said.
Liquor dealers who were interrogated
yesterday said that the question sought
TO develop what lawyer represented the
dealer. how much he was paid, how he
happened to be retained. and what work
he did
Saloonkeepers believe the inquiry Is d.
rectly aimed at certain attorney of the
District, who represents a large distillery
and who has frequently appeared as
counsel IN excise cases.
One prominent liquor dealer declared
last night that members of the Anti-Sa-
loon League were responsible for state
ments that the license holders Of the city
were raising a large fund to use in the
fight against prohibition for the District.
ANY such statement is deliberate
lie," he said. THE organized dealers are
working along strictly legitimate chan
nels to oppose legislation that we believe
VIII be for the detriment OF the District.
We feel that before Congress wipes out
business in which thousands of dollar
are invested. they should give the peoLI
of the District an opportunity Of s. ing
whether they want this Legislation 1t
is not alone what we will lose. but Is
what the city will lose in convsr Ions
which will go to other cities.

Special Cable to Ths Washington Herald
Cincinnati. O., Jan. 11--Joseph Ber-

National Shoe Retailers Association.
Mr.. Berberich spoke on Failures and
Their Causes" He said failure is a
weed that grows when you let things go
and do not have sufficient capital to run
your business" One of the most vital
points of success. he pointed out, was
to ind out the wants of ones custom
ers, and then buy ones shoes, always
serving the public faithfully.
Never dictate to your customers" said
Mr.. Berberich. Tell them what you
have in your store, and let them select
In picking out store site, remember
tnat the better the location, the better
chance for success. Investigate the sta
oility of the business section you have
In mind before taking a long lease on
your prospective property"
Mr.. Berberich emphasized the import
ance of good clerks. He said there was
nothing that injured the retail shoe busi-
ness so much as an incompetent clerk.
Seventy-fve per cent of success depends
upon the clerks, the speaker said.
He also touched upon the method of
buying, and the extension of too much
credit.

CALDER OF A GUN.
What the Term Means as Applied to
Artillery and Small Arms.

What the Term Means as Applied to
Artillery and Small Arms.
Confusion as to the meaning of the
term caliber arises chiefly from it's use
as an adjective to indicate length, as
when we say "a SO caliber six inch
gun" The word caliber as applied to
artillery signifies the diameter of the
bore Of gun measured Numerically
from face to face of the bore, Of course
somewhat larger.
A gun, then, of six inch caliber is a
gun whose bore is just six inches. For
convenience and because the power Of
a gun when once Its bore has been de
cided upon depends SO greatly upon us
length artilierists are In the habit OF
defining the length of the gun in terms
of the caliber. "a
Thus the twelve inch United States
naval gun, which is forty feet in
length, is spoken of as q 40 caliber
twelve inch, the length being just for
ty times the bore. The six inch rapid
fire gun is trifle under twenty-five
feet in length and is therefore known
as so caliber gun.
I In the case of small arms the caliber
is expressed in hundredths of an inch,
as when we say % caliber revolver
we mean one with bore that has a
diameter of twenty-five one-hundredths
of an inch.-Philadelphia Ledger.
