ANNIVERSARY OF GRANTS
BIRTH TO BE OBSERVED
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON. March 21.-The
hundredth anniversary of the birth
of General Grant will be celebrated
in a few weeks-on April 81, to be
exact. The recognition this event
will get in Washington will be the
unwilling of a memorial at the foot
of the Capitol on the west side, work
on which was commenced years ago.
To the great majority OF Amer
cans, Grant is merely what they
have learned and read of him from
the printed page. The men alive to-
day who knew Grant when he was at
the forefront of those making Amer
lean history are few and far between.
Prominent among this
number is Uncle Joe" Cannon, old
est member of the House of Repre-
sentatives in years and in point OF
service. MIR. Cannon's first hand
r~ecollections OF General Grant are
as fresh as If he had parted from
the famous soldier but a week ago
Grant forced recognition of his
ability as a military genius, o
ing to Uncle Joe. There was moth
ing dramatic in General Grant. 1t
is a deplorable fact, but true, that
brother officers in the Union armies
did their utmost to give credit Tor
victories and military feats to others
often to themselves, when success &C
tually was due to the ability and
brains of Grant.
I'm April, 1861, this nan presided

What is the average overhead ex-
|penses in a department store today?
Are department store costs any
higher on the whole than the costs
of small speciality stores?
INQUIRER.
From the latest Investigation COM
lpletedN the early part of 1922 by one
of the leading universities in Coop
Ieration with a large retail dry goods
association, the cost of doing business
in the average department store to-
lday-(the average being taken from
calculation of very large and very
small stores) is 26.S per cent of
sales. 1t is hard to make a generali-
1xation of the cost of doing business
lin department stores as compared
with that in speciality stores, because
ALMOST every speciality store has its
Town standards. On the whole, I have
found that the overhead expenses of
Ia large and a small store are bou
