Shop Girl Asks for
Early Xmas Buying
Editor, Washington Times:

Edtt0Ts washington 1SUEeSs
Sir: Everyone Is talking about
BUY Now" Why instead don't
they say do Your Christmas
Shopping Early"
I am a shop girl and I know
the Christmas rush. Everyone
puts off buying until the last
few days before Christmas, and
then they rush in and we have
to spend long hours, far into
the night to take care Of them.
If they want to get business
now, why don't they start
Christmas sales and let people
buy now and then when Christ
mas comes there will not be that
awful last1ninute rush.
It's only seven weeks now
until Christmas, and If everyone
would start their Christmas shop"
now it would. be fine.

or the gulf pulling a section Of the
ietty and a large railroad tie with
it. The rope had been tied to the

it would hold anything that swan.
The fish was said TO be well

Of prodigious size and bearing the
name Jane, the Junefish Jugger-

Some time last week Spitz Clarke

take, unless ne wanted to get rid
Of the a in order TO collect in

moved the line. Knight Douglas,
Brownsville, said that Mr.. Osborn
attempted to tie his line to the
coast guard station but that Cap
tain Wallace Reed refused to allow
this, saying that Jane would not
exactly take the station to sea but
would move it from its foundations.
The fishermen denied this.
The customary sour grapes talk
was heard from the fishermen Mon
day.
In a way. we are glad we didn't
catch Jane. How in the world would
we have carried her TO Brownsville?
