WHAT ARE WE COMING TO.

If you want to know what we're
coming to, think back over the past
hundred years and see what we've
gone through-fires, floods, strikes,
riots, wars, sickness and panics -
and here we are today-a bigger,
better, stronger nation than ever.
Let the calamity bowler roar until
his throat is sore; the pessimist
whine till he's blue in the face. Re-

Last Saturday was a chilly day,
and our demonstration of Edwards
Dependable bulk coffee was
great success. The lady in charge
gave out about four hundred sarnp-
les, and served about three hundred
cups of coffee to our customers.

MOTHERS NOT CROSS ANY.
MORE ON WASHING
DAY

and we have lots of fun watching
our new Federal do all the work.
We start after breakfast plenty
of time finish by 10 o'clock
SO easy. First we put in boiler
full of hot water and a little soap.
The water glass tells us when it's
enough. Next, we put in the clothes
either dry or from the cold soak
not too big a load at time
say, six sheets-fourteen shirts
or their equal.
Then we close the cover, turn
the switch-and the magic electric
ity makes our clothes snowy white
in six to ten minutes. Mother says
this is much quicker than other
washing machines can do because
the Federal gives the clothes 1913
complete plunges each minute. That
saves us at least half an hour on
each washing. This exceptional
feature is notable improvement
Of the Federal. Yet this quick ac-
ton does not wear or tear the finest
fabrics.
Next, we stop the cylinder-open
the cover and we notice the cylinder
always stops in a convenient posi-
ton to remove clothes. This is
better than other washers in which
one must plunge the hands into
the water to turn the cylinder to
get to the opening. Then we wiring
out the clothes into the rinse wat
err. Mother says letting electricity
do the wringing saves her more
hard work than letting it do the
washing. There is no hand wringer
or scrubbing board in our house
now.
While the cylinder is washing the
second batch Of clothes, we wiring
the first batch out of the rinse wat
er clear over the top Of. the machine
into the basket ready for hanging
on the line. Sometimes we stop
the white clothes on top of the ma
chine for wringing back into the
blueing water, but the colored
clothes are handled Just like in the
picture. Mother says the Federal
wringer goes faster than others and
it's all she can do to feed in the
clothes as fast as electricity will
do the work.
In an hours time the washing
for our family of six is finished.
and most of it on the line. We
empty the water, clean the cylinder
and wipe dry the pretty white fin
ish Of our new Federal, leaving it
sweet and. clean, ready for next
week. Mother says, our weekly
laundry bill is only four cents be-
cause that is all the electricity it
uses for whole weeks wash. The
clothes last many times as long and
we don't have washerwoman to
eat big meals and take our money.
Next year mother expects to have
a maid in the kitchen-but she will
pay her nothing extra for doing the
waShing-and I can't get hurt-no
matter where / play.

Gen. Pershing win BE Chosen
Grand Marshal of Parade
at Inauguration of Harding

Gen. John j. Pershing undoubtedly
will be selected as grand marshal of
the military and civic parade at the
Inauguration of President Harding,
in accordance with the unbroken pre-
cedent Of having the senior Army
officer at the National Capital ride
at the head of the big procession.
The selection rests with the inaugural
executive committee, and 'obably
sential that preparations for the pa
rade be made as soon as possible.
Gen. Pershing is now in this city,
but expects to go to Rosslyn, L. l..
in a. few days to spend the Christ
mas holidays with his son and his
sister, at the home of his brother
and sister in law.
:. At the second Inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson. in 1917, Maj. Gen. Hugh
L. Scott, chief of staff of the Army.
was grand marshal; Maj. Gen. T. H.
Bliss, assistant grand marshal, and
Mai. Gen. Carroll A. Devol, adjutant
general At Mr.. Wilson's first inaugu-
ration, in 1913, Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, chief Of staff, was grand mar
shall and Gen. H. +. Hodges, adjutant
general. At the inauguration of
President Taft. in 1909, Maj. Gen. J.

REFERS QUERYON
HIS RETIREMENT,
!. TO UNDERTAKEN

They are telling a story around
the Capitol ia-=-cepnection with
the rumors which crop out from
time to time of the prospective re-
tirement of several justices of the
United States Supreme Court. The
story goes that = friend of one of
the justices mentioned as likely to
retire autographed him as to the
correctness of the report.
Your inquiry should have been
addressed to my undertaken is
the answer the justice in question
is said to have wired back.
The anecdote. it may be said. was
not attributed to Chief Justice
White, however. Friends of the
Chief Justice declare that, as they
understand his position. he does
not contemplate retiring unless his
eyesight. with which he has. eX
perienced trouble. should make it
impossible for him to give to his
work the conscientious attention
which his high sense of devotion
to duty dictates
In all official circles the. name of

IMPORTANT CONVENTION
LIKELY TO BE HELD HERE
United States Chamber of CON-
merce Will Meet in April
or May

Washington will. in all probability,
be selected by the United States
Chamber of Commerce as the place
for. holding its next annual conven-
ton.
The matter has been under discus
sion with local people for several
days. A formal meeting OF the hotel
men of the city was called and they
agreed to reserve accommodations for
the guests of the chamber at the
convention to be held the last week in
April or the first week in May.
The convention, il held in Wash
most important of the many that have
been held here, and the probability of
the selection of the city brings for
ward again the necessity for the
uch-talied-of convention hall.
Delegates from all parts of the
United States attend these conven-
tons, with representatives from every
phase of American commercial, in
dustrial and financial life. Resolu-
lions adopted at these meetings carry
great weight with Congress and de-
bates thereon are closely followed as
giving about the best reflection of the
business views Of conditions.
X. y. Harper. president of the local
Chamber of Commerce. believes the
| convention will surely come to Wash
! lnSton, and that it Will bring as
many guests to the capital as did the
American Bankers Association gath

SEES MENACE IN
LEGHTEDCANDLES'
ON XMAS TREES

"A house of merriment is better
than a house of mourning" is the
slogan of Fire Chief George 5.
Watson in urging mothers not to
put lighted candles on Christmas
trees. The fire chief issued the
following suggestions for the holt
day period:
DO not decorate your CHRIST
mas tree with paper. cotton or any
other inf1ammable material. Use
metallic tinsel and other nom
fiammable decorations only. and
set the tree securely so that the
children in reaching for things
cannot tip it over.
do not use cotton to represent
snow. If you must have artihclai
snow use powdered mica or ashes-
tos fiber.
DO not permit the use OF car
dies on Christmas trees. Elect11-
cal illumination is safer.
DO not leave matches WITHIN
reach OF children at holiday time;
Il they can get matches they VIII
experiment with them. They lmi-
tate their elders.
do not allow trees to remain
inside buildings after the hoh-
days. The tree itself ignites read
lily when needles become ury-
large number of fires usually oc-
cur in January from this cause.

1000 STUDENTS FREED
WHEN BUILDING is COLD
Mckinley Training School Too
Chilly for Class-Officials
Start Inquiry.

Students at Mckinley Manual Train
ing School--more than 1000 in num-
ber-were dismissed from their classes
shortly after 10 O'Clock this morning,
due to the lack Of sufficient heat in
the building. They were ordered to
return to school tomorrow.
When the school opened at o'clock
the building was then considered too
cold in which to keep the students
and faculty. the temperature being
about ten degrees below the. proper
IS or 20 degrees. Officials, however,
kept the students in their classrooms,
sanguine that the engineers would be
able to increase the heat to the proper
temperature within a short period.
The temperature did not increase suf-
ficiently, and Principal Frank c. Dam
iel dismissed the school.
Investigation to determine the cause
Of the cold building was started by
Supt. of Schools Frank w. Ballou,
Assistant Supt. Stephen E. Kramer,
Principal Daniel and Hugh F. Nc
Queeney. superintendent of janitors
preliminary survey revealed the
fact that the building was cold Sun
day, as result of only one fireman
being on duty instead of two. One of
the fremen, it is said, is ill. 80.
One theory advanced today by the
oihcals as to the cause of the lack
OF heat is that two of the boilers of
| the heating plant may be defective. 1t

,ers have not been inspected recently
