House Furnishings Take
Spotlight; Mothers
Doy Spurs Trode
BY the Associated Press.

6y tne ASSocldte0 Press.
NEW YORK. May 10.-House fur
nishings took the spotlight in retail
trade this week with many stores
reporting sharply improved demand
for home supplies, Dun g. Brad
street reported today.
Total retail volume was above a
year ago in most cities, with q
slightly higher average unit sale
contributing to the improvement"
the credit agency said.
Buying for Mothers Day acted
as stimulant for trade. In de-
partment stores, handbags, boxed
pearls, cotton coat and gown en-
sembles, slips, hosiery and handker-
chiefs were favorite gift items.
For the most part, however, best
selling merchandise was confined to
house furnishings lines. Particularly
good results were reported by dealers
IN household refrigerators and other
appliances. Summer furniture and
rug promotions and white sales
were also said to be pulling well.'
In contrast, however, ready-to-
wear apparel was sluggish even in
cities reporting unusually satisfac-
tory results for housewares" the
agency added.
Because the corresponding week
last year witnessed a brisk upturn
IN total sales, retail volume aver
aged only 3 to per cent above the
like 1889 period for the country as a
whole, the agency reported. This was
smaller than the increase over 1899
reported in the previous week.
wholesale trade activity was
slightly better than even with a week
ago." the agency said. It added,
however, that where increases in
volume were reported they were
principally due to more numerous
calls for near-term needs"

COLUMN
A TRIBUTE

A simple notice told US recently
that Mollie Lloyd Freeman had pass
ed away but that notice touched the
hearts of many in the city of her
birth and in the city Of her adoption
with a deep sense of personal loss,
and a feeling that an unusually rare
and gracious spirit had left the earth.
These somewhat hackneyed words,
"None knew her but to love her, none
named her but to praise" could be ap-
piled most aptly to Mrs. Freeman.
Her nature was kind and helpful, and
held within itself a sense of spiritual
values not generally associated with
the life of today. To her God was
not force but an experience. Her
devotion to the Church she inherited
and increased. To it's services she
gave a wealth of love and loyalty
in attendance which came to distin-
guish her life to all who came into in
innate contact with her. She was
such a good listener! The sermon
for Mrs. Freeman was not merely a
part of the service to which one could
give attention or not, but a prophetic
utterance bearing message from the
Master Himself which she felt herself
bound to mark, learn, and inwardly
digest" Her inner response to the
message mirrored itself in her gentle
and mobile face.
She believed in the goodness of God,
and therefore she believed heartily in
the essential goodness of men. Her
theology had no place for a doctrine
of depravity, total or in part, but
like her Master she saw the strug-
Cling angel in every mans heart and
judged him not by what he was, but
by what he could become. No harsh
or acrimonious criticism came from
lips, "In her mouth was the law of
kindness" The reputation of men
and women were safe in her gentle
hands. In all the relations of life,
as daughter, sister, wife, mother and
friend, she brought to bear her simple
rectitude, her fine loyalty, her I'M
stinted devotion to LIES greatest
tasks.
Faith, loyalty, kindness-these were
the keywords of her life on earth.
And now she is gone, and all the
world she touched is poorer by her
passing. But, after all is said-is it?
Nay, the world she touched is richer
because she has lived in it, and left
with us the benediction of her godly
life. And I know that to those who
loved her most the thought of that
unseen world in which she believed
has become not vision but reality, and
the "voice like the sound of many
waters" speaks for them as we'll as
to her those mighty words of comfort,
ENTER thou into the joy of thy
Lord"

Renovated Under Direction
OF Md. Historical Society

The program initiated by Governor
Herbert r. O'Conor for the restora-

Legislature, under the previous Ad-
ministration, to supervise the restora-
ton.
The first phase, now underway, is
the replacement of the present floor
by a ''hit-and-miss" pattern pine floor
which research showed was the type
of floor in the Chamber during Colon
ial days. AS rapidly as possible, fol-
lowing the completion Of this work,

to restore the old Colonial charm of
the room will be done, after which
the final touches will be added in the

old Chamber in which the early Cont
mental Congress assembled, and in
which General Washington resigned
his commission.

an index of all contagious disease
cases reported to the city Department
of Health; and no child is accepted
from house in which any contagious
case is so reported.
