DO XMAS SHOPPING EARLY

III ANfto OhAOA AtNN
We have been advocating Tor
some time that our customers 40
their Christmas shopping early. we
not only want to get the business
started, but it is absolutely essential
that this be done. 1t is essential
that customers do their shopping
early i'm order to avoid congestion
later on and in order that the stores
NAV take care of their business IN
the regular routine rather than TO
make q crowded season later on.
Shopping now and earlier in the day
has advantages that gift buyers
cannot expect to enjoy in the buster
hours of the congested days mined
lately preceding Christmas. Inc
merchandise we have bought early
for the holidays has been arranged
for some time in a most complete
form. The great Christmas stocks
are complete and arranged for easy
inspection. More can be accomplish
ed in an hour that you spend no"
than several hours Of the Dusier

Some Government Clerks
Will Get a Little Increase
And Others Will Get None Congress
Used in Treating Postal Employees Who VOTE.
By EARL GOODWIN.

There is doubt that there will be small raise pro
vded for SOME Government clerks and there is NO doubt
that it will not be enough of raise will it be distrbu
ted among enough clerks.
The $120 year clerks increase decided upon by men
who find it hard to live in Washington $500 year
and mileage plus other perquistes not generous offset
against living in city famous for high prices just at this
moment.
Ten dollars month increase is no balm for a clerk
with family The butcher will get than that ten
dollars increased prices for CHUCK STEAK if the clerk
is not careful.
The ten-dolar amonth raise is in that delightful
submerged state of Congressional existence known ICON
ferenee'' The House decided ten-dolar-a-monh in
for Government employees up to $1,000 year. The
Senate decided the raise for employees up to $3.50
and also refused grant this increase to the Government
workers who have been added to the rolls July 1917
That cuts out the army of warworkers who
here at the high tide of rents and food prices penalties
the who gave up better positions to do work for the
Government
Is not the cost of living felt by those clerks who
here since july 1917 Will the merchants take off cent
per pound of meat for the clerk who has been here
only yearf guess not.
If the Government employees had VOTE here, there
would be pairing down of already tiny increases. re-
member well how the House rushed CALAMITY to the defense
of certain postal employees who sought increases this past
year. It almost riot These postal employees have
VOTES and spread the glad tdings at election time
But Washington Government clerks have no votes. Ii
they had there would be different tale to tell Believe me-
if Washington had representation along with its outrageous
taxation, the Government would not be underpayng Its
workers just to give politicians chance to chorte over
economies pracced at the expense of Government clerks
irving to raise American families at the American Capital
on SUBSTARVATION wages.

Why We Pay to See a Woman
Put Her Head in a Lions Mouth

Among the victims of the railroad wreck in which
circus train smashed to spners and four people
killed Washington whose circus specially
the exhibition of cage of trained lions
The newspapers print pictures of her. whip in hand
standing in the center of her surrounding beasts.
It is brave sight, and one looks at it two ques-
tons arise:
why did she choose this method of making iving?"
why do people pay to other people risk their
Hves?"
We are pretty savage yet We may pretend that
it only the lions go through their PAGES that
attended these exhibitions but not half many would go
the trainer remained outside the cage.
The clumsy simple feats of the animals are neither
graceful nor effective
The only redeemng feature of the whole thing is the
nerve and courage of the woman who risks her life.
That was it-a woman CHANGING horrible death-that
brought the crowds It chance to shudder in safety
to speculate whether the stupid animals would yield or
whether the brave would be mangled before our
eyes.
It is useless to deny the fascination of these exhibitions
The instinct to be in at the death has down to US like
the long strong teeth with which we used to tear each
other and which still bare in rage and when we sneer
It is nothing to be ashamed Of this heritage of the
brute but it is well to think of sometimes lest shame
our humanity.
Just stop and anayze your sensations the next time
you see trainer put his head in lions mouth and tell
yourself the truth to the motive that brought you there
The Washington times., 1918-06-26

1t is generally a wife who makes
such request, and jealousy is at
the root Of it
A woman cannot bear to think
she may be supplanted. She
looks round her pretty home and
cannot bear the thought that some
other woman may look with coldly,
critical eyes at all the beloved lit
tie fixings.
She looks at the husband who is
so tenderly considerable of her, and
when she thinks of it all being ex-
pended on another woman, says to
herself: "No, no. cannot have
it; he must never marry again"
When a woman is i'll and suf-
fering a man feels such an infinite
tenderness for her helplessness
that he is willing to promise any
thing that will bring a ray Of hap
piness to her face. He cannot
imagine ever putting another
woman in her dear place, and
promises readily never to marry
again,
The Washington times., 1918-06-26
She Marry Again?

The question is, is it fair to
consider the promise made under
such high pressure binding?
The mother of children has
every right, when dying, to re-
quest her husband. II he marry
again, to choose her successor with
an eye to the children's happi-
ness. She can urge him to be
wise in his choice. and beg him to
select some one who will be good
to the children ard take an interest
in them.
If she has money to leave she is
perfectly justified in tying it up
SO that her children and not the
second wife will benefit by it
Likewise a man has every right
IN leaving his money so disposed
that his children will derive more
benefit from it than the possible
children Of his sue cessor.
According TO my view, these are
the only rights that a husband or
wife can exercise after death.
If it were purely love that
prompted such request there
The Washington times., 1918-06-26

kn R0MISE me that you will
not marry again; that
YOU will never put any,
