OWN STORES
Chain of Cooperative Shops
Being Considered BY Central
Labor Body Here.

The establishing OF a chain O. co
operative stores by Washington i@bof
has been under the consideration al
the Central Labor Union for some
time, II became known this N o ming.
While no final action has been
taken. It Is understood the plan has
been thoroughly sifted out and eahS
for the entire financing OF the proteei
and its management by the member
ship represented in the Central Labor
Union which totals approximately
100000.
BY placing a levy of only $40 on
each member II was pointed out To-
day, a 81, 200. 900 corporation could be
formed to promote the enterprise. IL
is argued this would be a small and
appealing investment for the indiVid-
ual because OF the promise OF re-
turn OF the money many times over
in the purchase of products at prices
much lower than the prevailing mar
ket rates.
The stores would be operated along
plans of similarly controlled estab-
lishments in other cities of this coun-
try and Europe. In fact 1t Is de-
clared that the stores which might De
opened here could be affiliated with
those in other cities in cooperative
buying and the cost thus reduced to
a minimum.
The plan calls for . cutting Of
overhead expenses TO q rock-bottom
nEure. There would be few salarfed
oHicers and employees. The manage
mrnt Of the stores would be largely
I'm the hands of committees appointed
from the various locals.
Should the chain OF stoIcs be
opened in this city, it is propt sd TO
sell not only groceries, but clothing
and household articles as well 40 cost
prices plus the overhead and trans-
portation expenses.

builders, which are being sold In
and near-beer places In Washington.
They plan to get them of the market,
not only here, but in other citiss in
the United states. by putting such
high tax on them that their sale
will be curtailed. BY this method, 1t
is planned to assess the tax against
them and II they fail to pay 1t to
proceed against them criminally.
FIGURING UP TAXES.
In the matter of the bootleggers of
Washington not paying their income
tax, it is said that the revenue agents
have made a systematic audit OF the
number of cases of whiskey sold in
this city, and by assessing them at
the price that whiskey has been SELL
ing for in Washington, have piled
up a big tax. 1t is said that not one
OF the bootleggers in Washington
have filed an income tax report.
The figuring of the taxes which the
bootleggers should have paid was
started last week, on advices from the
Treasury Department that IL the men
selling whiskey here in Washington
were making SO much money it
should show on their income tax re-
ports. An investigation of the reports
failed to show that any OF the bigger
bootleggers had filed an income tax
report.
Some of the smaller ones, whom the
revenue officers estimate have been
making about $4,000 a year by the
Illicit sale of Whiskey, filed reports
of their income, but failed to include
the profits they made from the sale
of whiskey. Even though the selling
of whiskey is unlawful, the revenue
agents say that any money made from
tits sale should have been included in
the income tax report.
CAN'T FIND LIQUOR.
Another arrest placed in the books
today was that of Roy Elery Allen.
916 Sixth street southwest. He was
arrested by Detective Sanders on the
complaint of Prohibition Inspector
George r. Hardy. Allen legally pur-
chased and ordered sent to Washing
ton 23S cases Of whiskey, which dis
appeared from a vacant houns In
Maryland after 1t had been trans
ported from Baltimore. Allen, a
few days ago, caused the arrest Of
Randolph p. Owens and Maurice
Payne. in whose custody the 23S
cases of liquor were being transported
from Baltimore.
According to the story told the
police by Payne and Ownes, while
they were asleep in a vacant house
in Bradbury Heights, Md, some one
stole the consignment of whiskey.
The police have been following clues
for the past week. which they believe
will lead to the locating Of tthe
whiskey. but so far have run out
each clue without finding the con-
signment.

ing Three Ages of Girls.

DENVER, Colo, July 10.-A iuve-
nile laboratory is a new addition to
the machinery of the courts Of Denver,
through which hayward boys and girls
pass before Judge Ben r. Lindsey
Upon the manner in which the boy or
girl passes the mental and physical
tests depends the ultimate disposal of
his or her case.
I Judge Lindsey asserts that way
ward girl has three ages. He explains
it in this manner: A girl may be 10
years old, have the physical develop
ment of a girl of Is and the mental
development of a child of 10 years.
The judge says that whenever a girl
comes before his court, the first proceed
IRE is TO obtain her three ages, through
methods developed by medical men and
psychologists. He declared he intends
to make the juvenile laboratory avail
able to the mothers of Denver so they
can obtain the three ages of their chill
.dren and use this information in pro-
viding against indiscretions and pos
sible criminality.
An appropriation has been granted
for the conduct of the proposed labor
atory and the Judge is seeking TO OBJ
tain the services of expert psycholo-

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-Though
the differences between the Republican
and Democratic conventions be few,
they are nevertheless worth analyzing.
Emotionalism reached its peak IN the
discussion of politics here and in the
almost fanatical loyalty with which
tie supporters of McAdoo refused to
accept his deelination to be candi-
date and carried his name through a
mighty battle because he seemed to en-
body the vision of Wilson and the
aggressiveness of a Roosevelt.
It's all over now and neither McAdoo
nor Hiram johnson can be the benefi-
ciary of a post mortem but there is
striking similarity between the devo-
ton of the folks who worshipped HI
ram Johnson and the folks who fought
valiantly for McAdoo. At Chicago the
idealists weren t even given hearing.
They were bluntly showed aside and
outwitted by the master strategists,
