If a hundred little hearts and as
many big ones were not made happy
today it was not the fault Of Isaac

until the appointed time.
Two at time, the little fellows
were shown into the sore, where, upon
presenting a card previously given to
them calling for an overcoat or shoes,

be made happy.

and twelve years Of age. Some of
the boys were not only fitted with
coats, but received also shoes and
stockings. In some instances COM
plete outfits from underclothing to
the overcoat were given, together
with a one-dollar bill.
In a number of cases widows who
lost their husbands during the in
fiuenza epidemic last October appear

Mr.. Cans saw that the widow did not
leave the store without herself re-
ceiving a substantial Christmas pres-
emit in the form of money.
One youngster who appeared too
late for an overcoat last year received
a promise at that time that he would
be remembered this year. He was
given a card and was one of the first
in line today. He not only got an
overcoat, but shoes and q cap as well.
Many thanks and wishes for Merry
Christmas were extended to Mr.. Cans
and the clerks by the youngsters who
were 80 fortunate a. to receive gifts.

LATE BUYER GETS
Low TURKEYPR|CES
Persons Who Shop IN Storm
on Christmas Eve Obtain
Holiday Food Bargains.
YULETIDE COST REDUCED

Some few belated and very wet
housekeepers were successful late
yesterday afternoon and last night
in purchasing turkeys and various
other food articles for their Christ
mas dinner at prices which were con-
sidered somewhat within reason.
These late and half-drowned shop
pers were anxious to make their
Christmas dinner genuinely Yuietide
one-a real old-time holiday feast.
They took advantage of a market
practically ruined by rain. and they
generously filled their baskets with
choice poultry. fruits and vegetables.
and even Christmas greens for deco
ration, at substantial saving COM
pared with what the buyers earlier
in the day were paying for similar
articles.
Greens First to Drop.
The steady downpour of rain
throughout the afternoon caused
partial halt in the shopping at the
various markets of the city. and. as
result, the soaring Christmas food
prices quickly began to tumble. First
to feel the drop were the Christmas
greens - holly, mistletoe and the
spruce trees. Dealers Hing these
products soon realized that Christ
mas eve in Washington was to be a
gloomy and wet one and all prospects
of a big harvest of rich prices van
ished
Turkeys. live and fresh killed. alike
dropped in price. Throughout the day
turkeys had been retailing at prices
dealers. after holding out as long as
possible, lowered prices to help move
their large stocks.
Despite the depressed state of the
various markets there was no price
"wrecking'' in order to dispose of arti-
Giles. Dealers made what they consid-
cred reasonable reductions of 5 to 10
cents a pound on turkeys and other
poultry.
Cabbages and potatoes felt the
slump, and some wholesale men say
they will have to sell large quantities
of these vegetables at a loss in the
after-ChristmaS market. A large sup
ply of California oranges. which ar
rived late on the local market. did
not move anywhere near as rapidly as
was expected, and despite reduced
prices much of this supply will have
to take its chances in the after
Christmas market.
Some Normal Prices.
well. The local market was album
dainty supplied during the past week
and the prices were acceptable to the
buyers. Celery, onions and various
! other vegetables moved rapidly at
what the trade called normal prices.
Cranberries remained high in price
throughout the day. but they, too.
experienced a drop before closing
time.
One old-time market man said that
many prospective turkey purchasers
| left the downtown market district
yesterday disappointed and without
purchasing a turkey when they found
| that so cents a pound was the mini
mum price. He later said that the
| number of turkeys purchased yester-
day was far below the number pur-
chased in Washington for Thanks
giving dinner. This he attributed en-
tireIy to the difference in prevailing
prices. The chicken market held UP
well, and many housewives bought
one or more chickens to substitute for
| turkey as the feature of todays holi-
| day meal.
