what like this:
A million dollars

Six acres of floor

over to it.
Fifteen thousand sam

on the floor, replaced as
fast as sold, with dupli-

Prices reduced from
10 per cent to as low as
half the original price.
Which brings us to an
interesting su b e c t:
price tags.
We use price tags
thousands of them. Far
be it from US to under

sphere of usefulness,
which, with us, in this

former price and the

BOARDING HOUSE KEEPERS
IN WASHINGTON.

The United States Government is to
finance boarding house keepers in
Washington in opening new estab-
lishments, under a new program for
solving the housing problem in the
Capital. a survey is to be made of
all buildings in the District that are
unoccupied, and aid will be extended
through the housing appropriation or
$10,000,000 in putting dilapidated
structures into habitable shape wher-
ever il is possible.
Execution of this program and all
other questions of housing and allot-
ment of room in the District is in
the hands of the housing section of
the District Council of Defense.
Old buildings will be made over
wherever possible 10 relieve the Gov
eminent of heavy expenditure tor

house keepers who can prove expert
ence or their efficiency to the salts
faction of Mr.. Hege and his assistants
will be advanced Government funds
to purchase equipment, in the shape
Of furniture or other necessities to
equip a house. They will have to
contract, however, to charge only rea-
sonab,e prices to those they serve.
Work on three big temporary hous.

plaza is to be started in about two
weeks, and with the new houses
opened by private effort with Govern

GETTING ACTION.

Tired, we suppose, with the varying degree
of enforcement of the ,Vagrancy Act in this
State, and realizing that it is not accomplishing
what it was supposed to accomplish because of
failure to push it here and there, the State
Council of Defense has issued an order requir-
ing employers of labor to report on their pay
rolls weekly in an effort to catch the idlers.
The order reads:
ut is l. yreby ordered that every person,
firm or corporation employing 20 or more
men shall make report, at the end of each
week to the secretary of the state council
of Defense of all persons carried on their
payros who have not been actively engag-
ed at some useful occupation for as many
as SO hours during the preceding week, as
provided by the act of the legislature of
1917"
1t is evident that there is to be no further
liberation of evasion Of the law; and, while it is
to be regretted that the matter could not be
handled satisfactorily by the various city and
county executive organizations, if higher au-
thority had to take a hand, it is none too soon
to take it.

A CALI FOR TWO HUNDRED.

In another column of this issue will be found
the announcement from the Local Draft Board
that it has been ordered to entrain 200 selec-
tive service men from Berkeley County the
latter part of this month.
The phase of the call which will naturally
strike the people most forcibly is the bigness
of it. Numerically it represents more than
twice as many men as have been entrained at
any one time before from this County; and
while the mere size of the call in itself is not
