PRICES SLASHED
IN HEIGHT SALE

C. b. DULCAN

In an interview given today to
The Washington Times, C. B. Dull.
can, vice president of the Hecht
Company, F Street at Seventh,
said that the Store-Wide Dollar
Sale, advertised in four-page Sec
ton in today's Times, is held
but on day each year, because
it would be impossible to get real
quality merchandise for the entire
store oftener at the reduced prices
of the sale.
Mr.. Dulcan explained that his
entire force made strenuous eff
forts to get better quality and
character of merchandise this
year than ever before so that the
public would be more benefited
by the reduced prices. He said
the members of force are imbued
with the fact that they are mere
servants of the public and that
to plea their bosses they must
see that the public is pleased. He
said he and his staff are doing
every possible research to get
some idea of public reaction.
Mr.. Dulcan said that every de-
.oartment with the exception of
the clothing departments is repre-
scnted in the gigantic sale. May
was selected for the sale because
this month is on the threshold of
nrler. he pointed out, and so
many beautiful things for out
doors are now in the apparel, &C
ceSSory and homeware depart
ments that the management be-
lieved the consuming public would
benefit more with the sale at this
time.
He said that, as in years past,
his company will profit but little
financially from the sale due to
the low prices. The sale, he
added, will please the public so
much that the store will benefit
Ky broadening it's prestige. lie
said the public comes to the sale
in street cars and buses which
pass near by and in private auto
mobiles, which can be parked On
the nearby streets and in the
stores private space.

forces in this country and now
he has made that force felt in

MORATORIUM

A group of railway labor ex.
ecutives yesterday told President
Hoover that the plan laid before
him last week for a 25-year for.
eign debt moratorium does not
represent the views Of the ma
jority of railway labor, and that
they are unalterably opposed to it.
They said:
Unfortunately, this plan and
statement were issued or pub
liShed in a manner that might
give the impression that they
had the Endorsement of railway
labor generally. We desire to
make it clear that the position
of the organizations submitting
the statements to the President
is not shared by the railway
labor organizations we repre-.
sent"

SAN FRANCISCO, May IT.
Not quite four weeks left to get
down to real honest, practical,
determined work-and they're
beginning to talk minority and
majority and committees again
in Congress.
Won't somebody please rise
up in Washington and send
Conversation Kedgeby home to
his disguised constituents or
put him into a sanitarium some
where, or something?
Not Always Cheap
Talk is not always cheap, gen.
tlemen, remember that.
In an emergency like this,
talk sometimes proves exceed
ingly expensive.
As far as the people of this
country are concerned right now,
they don't care the pairing Of a
fingernail about who's who in
Congress.
Until this emergency is over
and over the right way-we're
going to forget all about the
very word Republican and the
first thing you know we WOn't
remember how to spell the
word Democrat.
What we, the plain every
Cay men and women of this
country want to represent us
now in WaSE:4Iston, are just
plain every cay earnest. SEN
sible, kindly human beings.
Americans Needed
Americans-that's what.
Less than four weeks left for
action-not much time for con-
versation even Of the most bril-
liant and impressive sort.
Theories are all right at the
right time.
Glittering gene--alities do not
glitter so very effectively when
we're all aching to get down to
brass tacks.
What the discouraged, hungry,
desperate people who are out
of employment need today-is
work.
Good hard, honest work, and
good, honest money to pay for
it.
You really can't expect a
man who hates to go home
because he kows his children
there are hoping he'll bring
them something decent to eat
to take much interest in
flights of rhetoric can you?
All Fighting Now
When a man is swimming
against an angry tide, he can't
stop to listen to even the most
beautiful poetry, or the love-
lest ballad that was ever
spoken or sung.
We're all fighting now, here
in America, fighting poverty,
and despair and hunger and
untold misery
We're going to win-there
isn't the slightest doubt Of that.
We've fought these battles in
America before, we and our
fathers, and grandfathers be-
fore uS-yeS and our mothers
and grandmothers, too.
There's a lot of good old-fash'
toned grit and nerve and spunk
left in this country.
Write or Telegraph
But we've got to fight for
victory.
It won't be handed to us on
a diamond-studded platter Of
brilliant and entertaining con-
verSation.
Let's get to work, this very
hour.
Write or telegraph your Rep
reSentative in washington.
Tell him you want him to
work hard for a bond issue
that's going to give honest work
to a million men and you want
him to work now.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 12--- The Irish are perhaps the oldest of all European races, says Pro- lessor A. Kingsley Porter of Har- ward University, wfio gives the re- suits of his research in this Heid in "The Crosses and Culture of IreIand," which has been published by the Yale University Press for the Metropolitan Museum of Art with the aid of nearly three hum dred illustrations, Professor Por- ter. who has an international repu- tation as on archaeoiosist and who is member of the Royal Irish Society of Antiquaries, discusses the "mysterious and enigmatic Irish crosses" and has found "abundant evidences" of Orecian and Egyptian influence on early Irish culture.
 "The singular geographical po- sition of Ireland at the extreme western edge of Europe has been her fortune" Professor Porter says. "The Celtic race. imagina- tive, impulsive, poetic, has thanks to this isolation preserved in Ire- land uncorrupted its peculiar character, unscathed by the cata- clysms which have gravely modi- fled 1t elsewhere. The Romans conquered Gaui and they con quered Briton. but they never touched foot in Ireland. The Irishman never bowed his head beneath the yoke of Roman stan- dardization. The successive waves of Angles, Saxons, Jutes that overran England, forcing the more ancient Celtic population farther and fartfier into the background, never crossed St. Georges Channel. The Danes harried the land for long centuries; they founded set dement's, named towns and fam ilicg, yet melted away having strangely little altered the nature of the country. The Norman kings, who conquered England, be. gan more than Q century later the occupation of Ireland; yet for long ages 1t remained an occupation; and unlike Norman and Saxon who united to form one people, Englishman and Irish remained distinct. unafnalgamable, and at least potentially hostile.
 "The Irish are thus perhaps the oldest of all European races While the rest of the west has been melted down in the pot ol invasion and recast in different mold, the Irish are rncially still what they have been since the La Tene period. No other existing culture of the occident can boast

Early Influences '
 On Irish Culture
Professor A. Kingsley Porter of Harvard Traces Its
 Beginnings Back to Grecian and Egyptian Origins

over two millenniums of uninter- rupted development"
 The first Christian art of Ireland had a strong Coptic tinge, frofes- sor Porter says. The Copts were an Egyptian race and we're the principai sect of Christians In Egypt and the valley of the Nile.
 That is easily to be explained, though so far as am aware It has not been. the truth l think Is that the early Christianity of Ireland was monastic; and thas this period monasticism was Egyptian. It Is thus that came about q curious phenomenon: m art that origin ated on the shores of the Nile passed to the extreme western island of Europe, and then return ed to the centers of the continent.
 T suppose no archaeologist has ever stood in the presence of the beehive tombs of New Grange or Dowth or has compared the Turoe stone with the Delphi omphalos or has looked at the gold in the treasure room of the Dublin Mu- scum, without having to shut his teeth hard to escape uttering the word Mycenae. And when the same student turns to the ro- mances, he will find fin them con- stant talk of Greece and It's kings"
 What reolly separates the hiss tory of Ireland into two periods is not any foreign conquest, but the arrival of Christianity, Pros fessor Porter finds. The coming to Ireland of St. Patrick began n new age for that country. It is one of the ironies of history, he says, If the national saint of Tfe- land really was, as he seems to have been, Briton.
 Tt is then the invasion of Christianity, more than any ex- ternal event, which breaEs in two Celtic tradition" pr Porter says. Jienceforward Ireland is no longer an isolated island, enjoying its own peculiar civilization; she be- comes q part of Europe, even at moments n dominant part, insep- arably united with the advance of western society Nevertheless, something of the old sturdy in- dependence long survived; and if read correctly the sources ob- scured by later expurgations, the Celtic Church became Q real rival of Rome. Irish missionaries were sent to Britain, to Gaul, to Switz. erland, to Germany, and. daring ai it may seem, to Italy herself But 1t was on English soil the confic, took place. The nominal isSuei
