With the temperature hitting an
official mark of 81 degrees here yes
terday, washingtonians began to
look toward bathin as a means for
comfort. and bathing parties were
numerous along both banks Of the
Potomac river.
Although yesterday lacked three
degrees of being the hottest day
OF the year-the temperature having
reached 90 degrees during the early
part of April-it goes on record at
the local weather bureau as being
the hottest day thus far experienced
during the month OF May.
The heat wave. which is general
throughout the section of the coun-
try east of the Mississippi river. Is
expected to continue for at least
several days, according to the local
weather forecaster, and may even
become more severe. There is no
indication of rain for the next sew
eral days.
Usual Summer Promised.
The prediction of the weather
authorities that the heat wave Is
here ito stay" has dispeIled the
fears of some that the warm
weather during the latter part of
the winter just passed would cause
a repetition of the experiences dur
ing the year 1916, which was known
throughout this country as tine
year without a summer"

BUY AT HOME

The apparent unwillingness OF the
large mail-order houses to accept a
loss on the immense stores OF mer-
chandise carried by them has brought
about tremendous decrease in their
sales during the last few months.
Reports show monthly loses in sales
running from $5,000,000 to $15,000,-
600. The decreases amount to more
than SO per cent Of the usual values
of business. For example: One of
the largest mail order houses had
total sales in February 1921 Of about
$14,000,00O as compared with $28, O00,-
900 in February, 1920. Another had
sales in February, 1921, of approx
imately $5,500,000 as compared with
over $11,O00,000 during February,
1920. This condition is general.
1t appears that the mail-order
houses are endeavoring to sell mer-,
chandise based upon prices quoted In
catalogues printed over year ago.
The prices quoted and being charged
are In some Instances from 25 to 80
per cent higher than those quoted
and charged in community retail
stores. The time has come when peo-
pie should see the advantages of
supporting home enterprises, not only
for the interest of the individual,
but for the good of the community at
large.
The welfare Of the community Is
largely dependent upon the success
Of its merchants and the prosperity
of population. 1t is a well-known
fact that mail-orded houses pay no
taxes except in cities where they have
their headquarters, or own property.
They do little or nothing assisting
numerous movements promulgated
from time to time for community bet
terment; they build no roads; they
contribute nothing to schools, librar-
les, churches or any other activity
which make our community worth
living in.
The volume of business lost by
mail-Order houses indicates that the
confidence of the public may be
shifting to the retail merchant where
it belongs. The home retail mer-
chant has, as rule, been fair; has
labored faithfully to serve efficiently,
and has worked for only fair marg-
in OF profit. The public should show
its appreciation of the fact that town
merchants are supplying goods at
fair and honest prices, while mail
order houses are evidently maintain
ing any prices.
The very nature of the mail-order
business makes the present situation
inevitable. Home merchants, by close
contact with the manufacturer and
jobber, can give the public square
deal, even on a fuctuating and de-
Ginning market.
Ehere should be a closer spirit OF
cooperation between the home
merchant and the people of the COM
munity. Never again should the pub
lie or our merchants permit mail
order houses to draw the resources
from the community as it did in pre-
war days.
Money spent with mail-order houses
is gone out of this community Buy
at home. Make your home town a
100 per cent home town organization
and help to bring greater prosperity 1:
to everybody in your home town.
