LONGER SHOPPING TIME ASKED
Opening Of Stores One Night a
Week Suggested.

To the Editor of The Washing
ton Herald: Forthe past ten days or
more the newspapers have been de-
voting considerable space to the
advisabflity of shopping early.
Certainly. IL would be advisable
IL Il were feasible. But here comes
the hitch.
The suggestion in the first place
raises a few fundamental questions;
who are the shoppers" and why
the necessity for educational prop
aganda along these lines? The sec
ond question Is almost unanswer-
able because of the domestic prob
lem; the first. may be divided into
at least three parts, the largest OF
which Is necessarily summed up IN
the phrase, government employees"
housewives coming next, and tour
lists last Gust now negligible
auaatity-at least by comparison). }.
And 1 am writing to plead the case
OF the government employe. @
The working hours as now con-
stituting a days work range any
where from $50 a. m. to $3.50 p. m.
with practically the same hours for
the Washington department. stores.
The relation between the two is
obvious, and the result needs no ex-
pert accountant to become obvious.
The clerks do very little shopping.
and the stores do less business. For
the clerks to shop" at all, usually
means taking time off Gan expen-
siye resortO, and even IL a day here
and there is taken for that purpose,
il doesn't necessarily produce a re-
suit: Just the day the clerk takes
off may be the wrong day to get
what she Cor he) wants: that means
anoher long wait to go on the shop
ping expedition again To attempt
to shop during a thirty-minute
lunch hour, or a fifteen-thirty- min
ute recess after working hours
Csince so many Of US work until
or $50 D. m, and most of the stores
close at 500 or s, the latest), re-
quires an expenditure OF effort
which is as much of a strain as 1t
usually futile. And so government
clerks do without many necessities
just because they are practically
closed to them. Nor must we over
look the fact that the Saturday aft
ernoon is denied them, which makes
the absence of shopping time per-
fcctIy complete for the government
clerk.
As a partial possible solution of
the foregoing and especially in view
Of the labor shortage, may be
q, permitted to make the following
suggestions.
stores to open at 10 a. m. and
close at p. m. To offset the in
convenience of late dinner for the
store clerks. the work might be
divided among shifts so that each
clerk would only be called upon to
work. one or two nights a week as
late as p. m. Better still. would
be to keep the stores open one
night a week. The latter might be
a better solution for the problem
as it would serve the interests OF
a larger shopping number But
here, of course, will come in the
greatest objection from the sales
people themselves. who won't want
to work nights. Perhaps their OBJ
lection could he overcome by also
dividing the work into shifts, so
that where store is open only one
night a week, II would, not mean
more than one or two nights each
month for the individual clerk,
whose reimbursement would be
either monetary or time off during
tnc day. EvCrybOdy's interest musI

ABOUT TIN CANS.
". Bluemer Has Suggestion on To-
bacco Containers

To the Editor of The Washington
Herald: Reading every day about
one thing or the other being short
or getting short. you might proba-
bly, bring in your, paper something
about shortage of tin 80 Nv.
Could not possibly a way be found
to again utilize the many tobacco
tin cans by the manufacturers OF
tobacco? Truly the law says: That
the receptacle cannot be used again
by the manufacturer OF tobacco.
But as it is most of the tin cans
when empty are practically as good
as new. At the present time the
place where the tin cans are going
is the city dump. May he those cans
might be able ito do their bit" in
a useful capacity.

miserable creatures are not quite will

trust God to lead US safely to victory
and to a lasting world peace? Leav-
ing out those who are bent on hoard
ing up their millions of dollars, dur
ing this great world war, there are
millions of broken hearted mothers
and fathers who would rejoice to see
once more a peaceful country and
reunited family.
But We are told that no question
can be permanently settled unless il
is settled right. Then. cannot We
trust God to settle the question and
! doings of this terrible war?
II our memory serves us right the
President of the United States and

nominations have called the people to

peace which is full of the tortures
of hell for the fellow that loses out.
! At this rate, how can we ever expect
lasting peace? Thus a vexed ques-
ton is never setted until 1t is settled
right.
No. we win trust no mistakes" but
let US trust God" to settle this great
| war question: for He alone can bring
peace out of confusion. Let the Chief
Magistrate of this our beloved nation,
who seems to be looked upon as the
leading spokesman of the allies in this
great crisis, and the heads of the vari-
Gus church denominations, set a GER
tain day for fasting and prayer to
| Almighty God. And let the allied ma
tions be called to join in one prayer;
and let US pray earnestly to Almighty
God to give victory to the nation
| and to that nation only-which will
deal justly to all" mankind alike.
Can we not trust God" enough to
call the world together to pray such
a prayer?
No. it will not do to trust any mis-
takes but it is all in all to trust
God; for such trust Is worth while.

When the Zulu Kid of Brooklyn, former flyweight champion, and Nate Jackson, of Oklahoma, hook up to- night at the Auditorium theatre in 6 ten round bout, there will be q widely ranged difference of opinion as to the result. The main consensus of opin- ion is that the boys will go the ten round bout-tbut perhaps because Jackson is so well known here, and has proved such a sturdy little fel- low, he vii have the most support from the ringside well wishers.
 The little fellows rounded up their work for this bout yesterday and to- day will do nothing more than lit- tie shadowed boxing of the hghtest nature in the bath house gyms.
 There is an Oklahoma contingen here who believe that Jackson vii get a decisive verdict Of course the Oklahomians always support their favorite in all engagements, and if he don't win for them he at least always gives them a run, and perhaps that accounts for their belief that he can dispose of the little Zulu wonder from the subcrb of New York.
 Zulu will have no excuses, however, and his lightning like methods, his ability to punch with both hands, and apparently at the same time, might win for him a verdict and a surprise for the westerners. The customers who have seen this boy box In the east against the best of them, and when he was fighting his way to the flyweight championship, cant pos sibly see him losing a decision to a western boy under any circumstances
 The game will begin promptly at S:30 with a battle royal and theQ Oklahoma Johnson. big black. and Bear Mitchell, the big black local product, will go six rounds, and that bout is looked forward to with much l interest because the big ones are sluggers and they will at least enter tain and amuse, and no doubt bring the crowd to it's toes as they get into clinches.
