Young Patterson described an air battle

MERCHANTS BEGIN EARLY
MORNING SHOPPING BOOM
Secretary Of D. c. Association Saws
Buyers Should Aid in Short
age Of Labor.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association has begun a spring drive
to arouse the women of Washington to
the necessity for early morning shop
ping. Although the association has
always advocated morning shopping,
the need for encouraging the prac-
tce was never as important as at
present. in the belief of Charles ]. Co
lumbus. secretary of the association.
ut is absolutely necessary that the
public should do more of its shopping
in the early morning hours" said Mr..
Columbus. Business simply cannot
properly meet the present situation.
Local business interests have gone to
the most extraordinary lengths to Sc
cure help to give the service that
Washington shoppers have been accus-
toned to, but help is not to be had.
So many have gone into the service
and left for the front and others taken
positions with the government that the
local commercial field is pretty well
stripped of labor.
THE public can serve it's own inter-
ests best by rising earlier and getting
downtown when the shops open. 1t is
strange circumstance that from 9
to IL and IL in the morning there is
scarcely any one in the shops Help
of all kinds has an idle hour or two
that could well be employed in giving
customers just what their particular
needs require.
THE women are the big buyers for
the home and I am sure that by get
ting down early in the morning they
can realize economies in buying that
would be impossible through hurried
ct hot &c
quence of the big crowds of the after
noon"

ADVANCE Of $4,000
GIVEN MRS. HUTCH|NS

Justice Gould of the District Supreme
Court has directed William J. Dante,
collector Of the estate Of the late Still
son Hutchins, to advance to Mrs. Rose
Keeling Hutchins. widow Of the mil
lionaire. $4,000 on the security of her
interest in the estate. which has been
in litigation since the death Of Mr..
Hutchins six years ago.
The court also relieved the widow of
the necessity of paying $4,000 interest
now dJe on previous advances received
by her from the collector, who was di-
rected to accept the note of the widow
for the interest
Mrs. Hutchins recently asked the
court to increase the advance to SELL
500 so that she might be able to pay
the interest and have left a sum suffi-
cient to meet her immediate needs.
The widow complained that she had
been inconvenienced in former years
by delay in getting the money, and had
been obliged to borrow for her needs,
and when the loan was secured from
the estate 1t would be largely depleted
to pay the borrowed money. The order
of the court Is in the nature of COM
promise.

The Weary World

The war is breaking the world
and making it sicker than an owl ::
the farthest nations are short OF
irations, and putting up howl.
I've just been readin' how poor
old Sweden is one big snarl and
kink; the kaisers war way has
busted Norway. and Denmarks
on the blink. No land so humble,
it does not grumble; no country's
so remote it isn't reeling, and
madly feeling that it will lose its
goat. In every dwelling some
gent is yelling that wars a fright
full frost; in mountain cottage the
peasants pottage costs twice what
once it cost. The lone Nyanzas,
as we'll as Kansas, have felt the
deadly chill; in Chinese Canton
they get slant on a vastly big
ger bill. The shepherd lonely
whose task is only to guard his
woolly bunch, feels Wilhelm hit
ting when down he's sitting to
eat his frugal lunch. The arctic
hunter, whose spear is blunter
than any spear should be, thinks
war costs trying when he goes
buying a brand-new snickersnee
There is no tavern, no hole or
cavern, no jungle dense and dark,
no river dismal, no gulf abysmal,
where wars not left its mark.
