REDUCTION HERE
D. c. Merchants Assert Cut
Would Not Be
"FeaSibIe."

| Heads Of several Of the big depart
ment stores in Washington We're
unanimous in their assertion today
| that it would npt be feasible" for the
local merchants to make sweeping
reduction in the prices of their COM
modities in order to lower the high
cost of living.
| The movement made this week by
4 the Wanamaker stores in New York
| and Philadelphia to slash high prices
| by making straight reduction of ~
per cent in the prices CT all MGR
| chandize in the stores could not be
worked out" very we'll in Washing
ton. it was pointed out.
Local merchants averred that they
| are at the present time operating on
| such "a small margin of profit" that a
| general wholesale reduction of prices
could not be made.
The announcement of the Wanna
maker policy of cutting down the high
| cost of merchandise was declared by
| some Washington department store
| men as tending to have a demoraliz-
| ing effect on local conditions" 1t
| was stated that the public is waiting.
expecting that other department
stores Will announce q similar cut in
| prices.
Good merchandise of better grades
still holds firm" said A. c. Case. mer-
chandise manager of the PalaiS Royal,
! today. The question is of getting it.
Some low prices have been quoted on
miscellaneous merchandise that has
/ been held by spectators who have
been pinched by the banks on their
loans, and forced to unload
"A straight reduction of 90 per cent
would seem to indicate previously in
f1ated values.
washington competition is keen
enough to keep prices to a point
where a general reduction of 20 per
cent would hardly be possible. We
are already low. in comparison with
present-day costs. We are constantly
making special sales which frequent
ly effect a greater reduction than 20
see any drastic general cut in prices
of the best merchandise"
The following statement was au-
thorized by. the firm of Lansburgh &
Bro:
I'VE are selling at the present time
and we will continue to sell. at as
close a margin of profit as feasible.
1t is only natural that, with the cur
rent high prices, any good merchant
would endeavor to work along these
! lines. in an effort to hold prices
down.
SVOuIu
George d. De Neale, speaking for
the firm of S. Kann Sons Company,
said he had just returned from bust
| ness trip to Boston and that he had
| not yet found time to study Wanna
! makers 20 per cent reduction from
the Washington merchants angle.
| Il talked with some of the biggest
merchants in Boston, however" said
Mr.. De Neale, land they are firmly
| convinced that such move as made
| by Wanamaker will have democrat
| izing effect on conditions in Boston,
and l think conditions in Washington
| also may be affected in detrimental
way l am sure all the Washington
department stores are operating on
as small a margin of profit as pos

| than that
! Officials of the Woodward &. Lothrop
store refused to comment on the sub

But that isn't the half of it. Nay
not by a jug full. The climax came
in the evening and thusly:
Mother and dined at our hotel and
then we went out for a little walk in
the Borghese Gardens. 1t was a
heavenly moonlight night and there
was Tilt in my heart-and a streak Of
golden Joy somewhere in my throat,
just for the sheer Joy of living, OF
being young and happy and in Rome
on such a night.
Mother was most loquacious, and
bent on telling me how romantic my
daddy had been as young man, while
she, we'll, she had always kept her
head, it would seem from her accounts.
She sort of condescended to lean her
loveliness near to his ardent heart. l
should have known that without her
telling me, for no woman can be such
an absorbed and excellent housekeep-
err and executive quantity who has
deep sentiments, or is romantic. No,
the two do not mix at all. And little
Lindsey is her daddy's daughter. It's
frightful to think of all he missed if
mother was so unresponsive and all
that Still dad always looks as if
he, too, had seen the land beyond the
moon. Maybe he is like me and has
also philandered in his time? Who
Knows?
We sat for an hour under the cy-
press trees and the scene of the night
crept and seeped into every bit of me
in maddening way. Once l thought
that 1 saw a shadowy form fit by

Once back at the hotel l sat duti-
fully with mother for few minutes
and then went up to my own room.

my room was flooded with moonlight
and decided against turning on the
light and sat down in big arm chair

A. Milf the hair does not tangle by
being allowed to hang loosely over the
night, that way is much better than
braiding, as the scalp has a chance to
ventilate. If you must resort to braid
ing it over night, do 1t in about four
brais and keep them very loose. This
can be done by dividing the head into
four parts, somewhat of a square, so
that two braids are at the top of the
head and two at the lower part, then
throw all of them over the pillow. so
the air can get at the scalp while you

A CLEANSING AGENT

The troubles of the girl who has
blackheads are manifold. If she
washes her face with hot water ana
soap the skin is apt to come out drawn
and shiny with every black pore show
ing. If she uses cleansing cream it
seems only to increase the oil in a
skin already too full of it. So whether
she tries to dry her skin or to nour-
lsh it, the result is sure to look bad.
AS 1t is impossible to get rid of
blackheads quickly, the best counsel
that can be given is that of patience.
But the quickest way to get rid of the
obnoxious little blackheads is to use
both drying agent and an oil. The
best drying agent is Special Cleans
ing Powder. The formula has been
given before. 1t is made by combin-
ing:

instead of soap. First wash the skin.
holding cloths wrung from hot water
over the face until the pores are open;
then dip the moist fingertips into this
powder and rub it thoroughly into the
pores. Moisten the fingers, take some
more powder and repeat, as the skin
absorbs this very readily Rinse with
hot water.
You will find that the dry powder
mas absorbed the top of each black
nead SO 1t shows much less plainly.
AS the powder is drying, rub a little
cold cream into the face, and wipe off
whatever remains on the surface If
